4.13 A/B/Z-phase pulse output function
Z-phase pulse output
Z-phase pulse output specifications
The Z-phase pulse is outputted by each encoder as follows.
Z-phase pulse output width
The minimum pulse width of the Z-phase pulse output is about 400
μ
s.
Encoder type
Z-phase pulse output
Linear encoders
Incremental
Outputs one pulse every time the Z-phase of the linear encoder is passed.
Absolute position
Outputs one pulse for every virtual rotation.
A/B/Z-phase differential output type encoder
Outputs one pulse every time the Z-phase of the scale is passed.
