Encoder Output Pulse Signals from SERVOPACK with an External Encoder
by Renishaw plc
The output position of the zero point signal (Ref) will depend on the direction of movement for some models
of external encoders by Renishaw plc.
In such case, the phase-C pulses of the SERVOPACK are output at two positions.
For details on the specifications of the zero-point signals for a external encoder, refer to the manual for the
Renishaw external encoder.

Second pulse is half as wide
as the phase-A pulse.
No zero point signal (Ref) is sent from the external encoder.
However, a phase-C pulse will be sent from the SERVOPACK
when moving in the reverse direction, because it is the same
position from which a phase-C pulse was sent from the
SERVOPACK when moving in a forward direction.
