9.2 Encoders which can be connected
Introduction
The counter module can process rectangular count signals which were generated by
incremental encoders or pulse generators.
Incremental encoders scan a barcode to generate rectangular electrical pulses. They differ in
terms of pulse amplitude and number of signals.
Pulse generators such as light barriers or proximity switches (BEROs) return only a
rectangular signal at a specific amplitude.
Connecting different encoders
The counter module supports different encoders which return pulses for the count signals.
The table shows these encoders and the corresponding signals.
