Calculating Encoder Resolution
See Figure 3-16. If you do not know your encoder resolution, the iControl
system can calculate it for you:
1. Hang a part or a piece of cardboard at least 36 inches long (the longer
the better) on the conveyor ahead of the zone photoeyes or scanners.
2. Enter the part length into Screen Box 1.
3. Do one of the following:
S Start the conveyor and reset the counter to zero in Screen Box 2.
The conveyor must be moving to reset the counter, but the part must
not move in front of the zone photoeyes or scanner before the
counter is reset.
S Put the conveyor in bypass mode, then reset the counter to zero in
Screen Box 2, then start the conveyor.
4. Allow the part to move past the zone photoeyes or scanners, then stop
the conveyor.
5. The calculated resolution appears in Screen Box 3. Select the
calculated resolution radio button, then touch the Enter button.
