How to calculate the number of pulses per centimeter:
Example:
 The wheel on a forklift truck has a diameter of 35 cm.
 The friction wheel on which the incremental encoder is mounted has a diameter of
3.5 cm.
 The incremental encoder used supplies 1000 pulses per revolution.
C
ircumference of the forklift truck wheel = d × [ = 35 cm × [ = 109.96 cm
One revolution of the forklift truck wheel corresponds to ten revolutions of the friction
wheel and therefore 10,000 pulses from the incremental encoder.
For this information the number of pulses per centimeter of distance covered by the
vehicle is:
pulses/cm = 10,000 : 109.96 = 90.94
On configuring the incremental encoder in the CDS, you must therefore enter the rounded
value “91” in Pulses per centimeter in the CDS. The user software calculates from this
value the maximum velocity allowed.
