Does the Euro408 have incremental/absolute encoder feedback ?
The Euro404 and Euro408 support the following encoder types: Incremental ABZ with differential RS422 line driver outputs. (A, /A, B, /B, Z, /Z) SSI Absolute encoder up to 32 bits. EnDat Absolute encoder either EnDat 1 or EnDat 2. The EnDat 2 support ...
Single turn SSI absolute encoder
Set ENCODER_BITS to the same as the absolute encoder i.e. a 24 bit abs encoder set ENCODER_BITS = 24 If the repeat of the encoder is not 2^24 or another power of 2 then use DRIVE_REP_DIST to set the repeat value.
Analog incremental linear encoder input to Trio
We are looking to retrofit a Trio controller to a 3 axis CNC machine which has heidenhain analog incremental linear encoders fitted (1Vpp - 40um linear period) but unsure which if any controller has this function available. Can you advise please - ...
MC508 P849 EnDat encoder input
We are to propose a solution for 6axis step&dir and 2 ENDAT encoders reading. I would like to be sure the P849 is able to manage the two requests together. Yes, EnDAT will work on any of the first 8 axes. It does not work if there is another axis ...
