Fig. 7.4 Operation Timing for the External Input Mode(When the preset number of axes is 8 or less)
(e) When using the external input mode, only axes for which an incremental
synchronous encoder (manual pulse generator) is set as the drive module
can be used. Axes for which an absolute synchronous encoder is set as the
drive module cannot be used.
(f) A synchronous encoder, external input and external input mode clutch can
only be set in a 1:1 ratio.
The relationship between the synchronous encoder and external input is
shown in the table below.
