Modify this parameter if the encoder is attached to a gear box rather than connected directly to the rotor.  In most applications this is set to 1.

Signal Order



A leads B

Select one of the following options:

  • A leads B - A is the first output pulse as the machine begins to rotate

  • B leads A - B is the first output pulse as the machine begins to rotate

If the machine appears to be turning backwards, consider switching this setting.
