Output Phase Forms
Note: The pulse width of the origin within one encoder rotation depends on the setting of number of encoder output
pulses (Pn212) or the encoder output resolution (Pn281). It is the same as the width of phase A.
Even for reverse operation (Pn000 = n.
1), the output phase form is the same as shown above.
Linear Encoder Application Precautions
The following precautions apply to the encoder output pulses when an external linear encoder
is used.
Encoder Output Pulse Signal from SERVOPACK with a Linear Encoder
from Renishaw PLC
The output position of the origin signal (Ref) will depend on the direction of movement for some
models of linear encoders from Renishaw PLC.
In that case, the phase-C pulse of the SERVOPACK is output at two positions.
For detailed specifications on the origin signal for the linear encoder, refer to the manual for the
Renishaw PLC linear encoder.
Forward rotation or movement
(phase B leads by 90

)
Reverse rotation or movement
(phase A leads by 90
°
)
If you use the SERVOPACK’s phase-C pulse output for an origin return, rotate the Servomotor
two or more rotations before you start an origin return. If the Servomotor cannot be rotated two
or more times, perform an origin return operation at a motor speed of 600 min
-1
or lower. If the
motor speed is higher than 600 min
-1
, the phase-C pulse may not be output correctly.
