How to Select the PPR of
a Pulse Encoder
A 120 PPR pulse encoder can maintain a minimum speed of 25 RPM
at the accuracy listed in the
Specifications
above. The drive can operate
below minimum motor speed but with degraded accuracy. If a lower
motor speed is required, a pulse encoder with a higher PPR rating is
required.
