AN-349 EURO408 Encoder Handwheel
A special FPGA version has been added to the Euro408 controller to support reading of an encoder hand wheel connected to the 24V inputs. The position of the hand wheel is returned as the measured position on axis 8.

DX4 Encoder Resolution / Scaling
This option is available through the Parameters Pn725 and Pn726 and the values used will depend on the type of encoder you have on the motor (20 or 23bit). Section 9-11 has some descriptions in the manual.
Connection to Single Ended Encoder (Incremental/Absolute)
It is not recommended to connect an encoder single ended because it creates strange counting behavior due to signal noise and level drifts. TTL output uses differential wiring (A with /A and B with /B) to cancel noise. But... If single ended encoders ...
Enquiry about MC508 encoder axes
A customer wants to know if he can use mixed encoders on the MC508. For example, Axes 0 to 5 are Endat absolute encoders and 6 and 7 are incremental encoders. Answer: By using the ATYPE command you can set any of the 8 axes to be either incremental ...
