Using the Quadrature Encoder
The Quadrature Encoder is used for determining direction of rotation and position for rotating,
such as a lathe. The Bidirectional Counter counts the rotation of the Quadrature Encoder.
shows a quadrature encoder connected to inputs 0, 1, and 2. The count direction is
determined by the phase angle between A and B. If A leads B, the counter increments. If B
leads A, the counter decrements.
The counter can be reset using the Z input. The Z outputs from the encoders typically provide
one pulse per revolution.
