5.3.7 Setting Encoder Output Pulse
Set the encoder output pulse using the following parameter.
Pulses from the encoder per revolution are divided inside the SERVOPACK by the number set in this parame-
ter before being output. Set the number of encoder output pulses according to the system specifications of the
machine or host controller.
Note 1. An encoder output pulse setting error (A.041) will occur if the setting does not satisfy the required conditions
listed in the table.
Pn212 = 25000 (P/Rev) is accepted, but
Pn212 = 25001 (P/Rev) is not accepted. The alarm A.041 is output because the setting unit differs from that in
the above table.
2. The upper limit of the pulse frequency is approximately 1.6 Mpps.
The servomotor speed is limited if the setting value of the encoder output pulses (Pn212) is large.
An overspeed of encoder output pulse rate alarm (A.511) will occur if the motor speed exceeds the upper limit
specified in the above table.
Output Example: When Pn212 = 16 (16-pulse output per one revolution), PAO and PBO are output as shown
below.
