Adding and configuring a technology module
1.
Switch to the device view of the PLC.
2.
In the hardware catalog, open the folder "TM > Count > TM Count 2X24V".
3.
Drag the counter module to a free slot in the rack.
4.
Select the technology module in the device view.
5.
In the properties dialog, open the "General" tab and select there "Count 2x24V > Basic
Parameters > Channel X > Operating Mode" of the channel to be used.
6.
Select "Position detection for motion control" option for "Selection of the operating mode
for the channel".
7.
Under "Module parameters", adapt the parameters of the incremental encoder (steps per
revolution = increments per revolution).
8.
