Encoder Count Mode encoderCountMode
Sets if the Encoder Value increments or decrements
for each encoder pulse. This feature is available when
Encoder B Input (Quadrature mode) is not being
used. 1.00

Increment Increment Encoder value increments for each encoder pulse.
Decrement Decrement Encoder value decrements for each encoder pulse.
Encoder Direction encoderDirection When Encoder Source A and B are used, this feature
sets the direction which the encoder must be moving
for the profile triggers to be generated. This feature
is only available when both phases of the encoder are
used.

Forward Forward Profile triggers are generated when the encoder is
moving in the Forward direction. The forward
direction of the encoder is determined by the phase A
leading B.
Reverse Reverse Profile triggers are generated when the encoder is
moving in the Reverse direction. The reverse
direction of the encoder is determined by the phase B
leading A.
Encoder Divider EncoderDivider
Selects the number of input pulses to get before
generating "Profile Trigger".

Profile Rate (Hz) profileRate Specifies the profile rate of the sensor, in Hz.

Encoder Status 1 EncoderStatus Indicates whether the encoder is moving forward,
reverse or idle. When encoder phase A and B are
used, the direction is determined automatically. 1.00
Expert
Encoder Forward EncoderUp The encoder is moving in the forward direction.
Phase A leads Phase B.
Encoder Reverse EncoderDown The encoder is moving in the reverse direction. Phase
B leads Phase A.
Encoder Idle EncoderIdle The encoder is not moving.
Encoder Reset EncoderReset Resets the "Encoder Value" to 0.

Expert
Encoder Value EncoderValue Indicates the current encoder counter value. In
quadrature mode, the Encoder value automatically
increments in the forward direction (phase AB) and
decrements in the reverse direction (phase BA). In
single phase mode, the Encoder Count Mode feature
determines whether the Encoder Value will increment
or decrement.

Encoder Maximum
Value encoderMaximumValue Indicates the maximum value of the encoder counter.
When this value is reached, the counter wraps-
around to 0.

every new scan.

Encoder Profile Trigger
Mode EncoderOutputMode Selects how the direction and position of the Encoder
will generate profile triggers. 1.00
Expert
Position Position When the encoder moves in the opposite direction as
defined by Encoder Direction, the current position is
recorded. No profile triggers are generated until that
position is passed again.
1 The Encoder Status feature is set to Encoder Idle if no motion signal is detected for 65 ms from the shaft encoder inputs;
it will change to either Encoder Forward ( EncoderUp ) or Encoder Reverse ( EncoderDown ) as soon as motion is detected.
