phase Input
A two-phase pulse input consists of two pulse inputs phase A (advanced signal) and phase B (delayed
signal) with a phase difference of 90
°
.
If the Z phase (reference position signal) is used, the two-phase pulse input can clear the count value to
zero
.
* Count operation for incremental counting in the CW direction. When decremental counting in the CW direction is
set, the board performs decremental counting at the rising edge of the phase-A signal.
* The minimum phase difference between phases-A and B is 25 nsec. Counting is not performed normally if the phase
difference is less than 25 nsec.

Phase-A difference of 25 nsec is required.
