November 2014 Checking incremental encoders 187
Checking a commutation encoder:
8
Connect the encoder through its ID.
8 In the ATS main menu, select the function "Incremental signal" from the "Basic functions"
group.
The settings in the ATS software for checking the incremental track Zn (A/B) and the reference
mark R are the same as for a standard rotary encoder (described in section “Checking
incremental signals” on page 148).
Note
The Z1 track (CD) is only analyzed in the Analog function.
Note
The tolerances for the output signals of motor encoders are tighter due to the higher
temperature range. Please note the interface descriptions and/or mounting instructions!
