6.5 Encoder Divided Pulse Output
6.5.1 Encoder Divided Pulse Output Signals
6-18
When a linear incremental encoder from Magnescale Co., Ltd. is used, the count direction of
the encoder determines how the phase-C pulse (CN1-21 and CN1-22) is output.
Note: The count direction (up or down) of the linear encoder determines whether a phase-C pulse is output. The
output of the pulse does not depend on the setting of the movement direction (Pn000 = n.
1).
When First Passing the Origin Signal in the Forward Direction and Returning after
Turning ON the Power Supply
The encoder’s phase-C pulse (CN1-21 and CN1-22) is output when the origin detection posi-
tion is passed for the first time in the forward direction after the power supply is turned ON.
After that, the phase-C pulse is output whenever the origin detection position is passed in the
forward or reverse direction.
When First Passing the Origin Signal in the Reverse Direction and Returning after
Turning ON the Power Supply
The encoder's phase-C pulse (CN1-19 and CN1-20) is not output when the origin detection
position is passed for the first time in the reverse direction after the power supply is turned ON.
However, after the origin detection position is passed in the forward direction and the encoder’s
phase-C pulse is output, it will then also be output when the origin detection point is passed in
the reverse direction.
