Ctrl Command get_encoder
Function returns the current counts of the two internal encoder counters.
Call
get_encoder( &Encoder0, &Encoder1 )
Returned para-
meter values
Encoder0 ,
Encoder1
current counts as pointers to signed 32-bit values
Comments • For usage of this command see "Processing-on-the-fly (Optional)", page 177 and
"Synchronization via Encoder Signals", page 215 .
• If incremental encoders are used to detect the motion of the parts to be processed,
encoder counter Encoder0 will be triggered by the signals at encoder input ENCODER X
and encoder counter Encoder1 by the signals at encoder input ENCODER Y. In contrast,
if an encoder simulation has been started via
simulate_encoder , both encoder
counters will be triggered by an internal periodic 1 MHz clock signal.
