Enhanced Quadrature Encoder Pulse (eQEP) Module
Figure 15-130. QEP Encoder Output Signal for Forward/Reverse Movement
Quadrature encoders from different manufacturers come with two forms of index pulse (gated index pulse
or ungated index pulse) as shown in
. A nonstandard form of index pulse is ungated. In the
ungated configuration, the index edges are not necessarily coincident with A and B signals. The gated
index pulse is aligned to any of the four quadrature edges and width of the index pulse and can be equal
to a quarter, half, or full period of the quadrature signal.
