Encoder Divided Pulse Output
The encoder divided pulse output is a signal that is output from the encoder and processed
inside the SERVOPACK. It is then output externally in the form of two phase pulse signals
(phases A and B) with a 90
°
phase differential. At the host controller, it is used as the position
feedback.
The following table describes the signals and output phase forms.

Rotary Servomotors
These encoder divided pulse
output pins output the number
of pulses per motor resolution
that is set in Pn212 (Number of
Encoder Output Pulses). The
phase difference between
phase A and phase B is an
electric angle of 90
°
.

Linear Servomotors
These encoder divided pulse
output pins output pulses at the
resolution that is set in Pn281
(Encoder Output Resolution).
The phase difference between
phase A and phase B is an
electric angle of 90°.
