Enhanced Quadrature Encoder Pulse (eQEP)
The enhanced Quadrature Encoder Pulse (eQEP) module described here is a Type-0 eQEP. See the
C2000 Real-Time Control Peripheral Reference Guide for a list of all devices with a module of the same
type to determine the differences between types and for a list of device-specific differences within a type.
The enhanced quadrature encoder pulse (eQEP) module is used for direct interface with a linear or rotary
incremental encoder to get position, direction, and speed information from a rotating machine for use in a
high-performance motion and position-control system.
