Incremental Encoder

The Function Block CD522_32BIT_ENCODER: CD522_32BIT_ENCODER

The module CD522 can be used in 12 different configurable operating modes. The operating mode is configured in PLC Configuration using module parameters. After that, it is activated during the initialization phase (power-on, cold start, warm start).

The data exchange from and to the user program is performed using input and output operands. These necessary operands are created and reserved automatically, when one module CD522 is added into the I/O-Bus configuration.

In order to configure and use the function encoder of module CD522, different operating modes are available. The Function Block CD522_32BIT_ENCODER should be used with one of these operating modes:

Operating Mode 11	“Incremental encoder”
Should be specified in PLC Configuration; parameter “mode counter” in order to use one up/down counter for position sensor x1 count, with possibility of touch/catch value, RPI function, set and reset actions.
Operating Mode 12	“Incremental encoder X2”
Should be specified in PLC Configuration; parameter “mode counter” in order to use one up/down counter for position sensor x2 count, with possibility of touch/catch value, RPI function, set and reset actions.
Operating Mode 13	“Incremental encoder X4”
Should be specified in PLC Configuration; parameter “mode counter” in order to use one up/down counter for position sensor x4 count, with possibility of touch/catch value, RPI function, set and reset actions.
