Setting the Number of External Encoder Scale Pitches
Set the number of external encoder scale pitches per motor rotation in Pn20A.
Setting Example
If the external encoder is connected directly to the motor, the setting will be 1,500 (30 mm/0.02
mm = 1,500).
Note: 1. If there is a fraction, round off the digits below the decimal point.
2. If the number of external encoder scale pitches per motor rotation is not an integer, there is deviation in the
speed loop. This is not relevant for the position loop and it therefore does not interfere with the position
accuracy.

Setting the PAO, PBO, and PCO (Encoder Divided Pulse
Output) Signals
Set the position resolution in Pn281 (Encoder Output Resolution).
Enter the number of phase A and phase B edges for the setting.
Setting Example
If a single pulse (multiplied by 4) is output for 1
μ
m, the setting would be 20.
If a single pulse (multiplied by 4) is output for 0.5
μ
m, the setting would be 40.
The encoder divided pulse output would have the following waveform if the setting is 20.
“
↑
” indicates the edge positions. In this example, the set value is 20 and therefore the number
of edges is 20.
Note: The upper limit of the encoder signal output frequency (multiplied by 4) is 6.4 Mpps. Do not set a value that
would cause the output to exceed 6.4 Mpps.
If the output exceeds the upper limit, an A.511 alarm (Overspeed of Encoder Output Pulse Rate) will be out-
put.
