ENCODER SETUP SCREEN PARAMETERS DESCRIPTION RELATED SYSTEM VARIABLE

Encoder Number

Value: 1 - 8

Default:

This item is the schedule selection number of the encoder you are setting up.

N/A

Encoder Axis

Value: 0 - 16

Default:

This item allows you to select the encoder axis to set up.

$SCR.$enc_axis[ ]

Encoder Type

Value: 0 = incremental

1 = Serial absolute

2 = Servoconv

3 = Virtual

4 = Serial INC

5 = Main Serial INC

6 = Main Serial ABS

Default: 0

This item specifies the type of tracking to be used.

$SCR.$enc_type[ ]

Encoder Enable

Value: 0 = off

1 = on

Default: 0

This item allows you to turn the specified tracking encoder ON or OFF.

$ENC_STAT.$enc_enable

Current Count (cnts)

Value: Integer

This item displays the current value for the specified encoder.

$ENC_STAT.$enc_count

Multiplier (ITP/update)

Value: 1 - 100

Default:

This item allows you to specify how often the multiplier looks at the conveyor, which can save processor time.

$ENC_STAT.$enc_multipl

Average (updates)

Value: 1 - 100

Default:

This item is a value that will help to smooth robot motion when tracking the conveyor.

$ENC_STAT.$enc_average

Stop Threshold(cnt/updt)

Value: Positive Integer

Default:

This item is the number of encoder counts per encoder update. If the encoder counts per update goes below this number, the system will consider the conveyor stopped.

$ENC_STAT.$enc_thresh

Simulate Enable

Value: 0 = off

1 = on

Default: 0

This item allows you to turn simulation of the specified tracking encoder ON or OFF.

$ENC_STAT.$enc_sim_on

Simulate Rate(cnt/updt)

Value: Integer

Default:

This item is the desired number of encoder counts per encoder update. This field is used when encoder simulation is enabled.

$ENC_STAT.$enc_sim_spd

Master RIPE (option)

Value: Integer

Default: 0

This item is the

$ENC_STAT.$enc_sim_spd

Master Encoder (option)

Value: Integer

Default: 0

This item is the

$ENC_STAT.$enc_sim_spd
