1-4 About the Modules
EXAMPLE
Example of Multiplying Encoder Mode X1
X1 Multiplying Encoder Mode
Quadrature input signals are used to count on the leading (up
direction) OR trailing (down direction) edge of A for a bidirectional
count, and channel B is used to determine the direction.
[ B = leads A, Count = Down; B = follows A, Count = Up ]
X2 Multiplying Encoder Mode
Quadrature input signals are used to count on leading AND trailing
edges of A for a bidirectional count, and channel B is used to
determine the direction.
[ B = leads A, Count = Down; B = follows A, Count = Up ]
X4 Multiplying Encoder Mode
Quadrature input signals are used to count on leading AND trailing
edges of A AND B for a bidirectional count, and channel B is used to
determine the direction.
[ B = leads A, Count = Down; B = follows A, Count = Up ]
