Use as counter input on X3 to X6
An available encoder input of an axis channel (e.g. for a speed-controlled axis) can be used
as an input for a 16-bit up/down counter (90-degree pulse train of a connected TTL encoder,
zero pulse not required). The counter value can be accessed by means of an I/O variable.
Configuration procedure in SIMOTION SCOUT:
1.
Specification of start address in the hardware configuration.
2.
Use of the available encoder input as an additional counter using an incremental
encoder.
