above parameter.
An encoder simulation output can be generated from any parameter as a source as
defined by Pr
x.24
(00.00 disables encoder simulation). Although any parameter can be
used, the source parameter is assumed to be a 16 bit position value in the form of a roll-
over counter. Therefore only parameters with a range of -32768 to 32767 or 0 to 65535
are normally used. The marker is simulated when the source rolls over or under.
The sources update rate should be considered when setting up a simulated encoder
output, for example with Pr
x.05
as the source this has an update rate of 250
µ
s
(shortcut in software) with Pr
x.30
this has an update rate of 4ms (averaging is applied
for the simulated encoder output in this example to prevent “stepping effects” being
seen on the simulated encoder output.)
When the Solutions Module is connected to a high precision encoder (i.e. SinCos) and
the source has been selected as the internal position (Pr
x.05
), the resolution can be
increase to a 24 bit position value by setting Pr
x.27
to a one.
