Using the Quadrature Encoder
The Quadrature Encoder is used for determining direction of rotation and
position for rotating, such as a lathe. The Bidirectional Counter counts the
rotation of the Quadrature Encoder.
Figure 11
shows a quadrature encoder connected to inputs 0, 1, and 2. The
count direction is determined by the phase angle between A and B. If A leads B,
the counter increments. If B leads A, the counter decrements.
The counter can be reset using the Z input. The Z outputs from the encoders
typically provide one pulse per revolution.
