Motor Encoder Output Signal
The motor quadrature encoder signals are supplied to an external
position controller. The signals are differential, quadrature, and TTL
level. The output resolution is selectable and can be divided by 1, 2, 4
or 8.
The signal frequency (f
out
) of the motor encoder output in Hertz (Hz)
can be calculated with the equation:
If the device connected to the motor encoder output counts all edges,
the count frequency is four times f
out
.
For example, a motor with a 2000 line encoder is rotating at 3000 rpm,
and the Motor Encoder Output signal is set to
Divide by 1, the
encoder signal frequency is:
A counter counting all edges registers 400 kHz for this example.
