| ControllerName | Bind this block to an OpCtrl block by entering the same 'Controller Name' as specified in the OpCtrl block The OpCtrl block controls initialization of the settings of one specific FPGA card in the system. |
|---|---|
| DataIn port number | Enter the number of the DataIn port to be controlled by this block, in the range [1:64] for the VC707, TE0741 and TE0741 OP48xx FPGAs and [1:32] for all others. |
| Slot infos | This non-editable parameter displays the physical location of the digital output channels related to the selected DataIn port, as obtained from the parsing of the configuration file. |
| Maximum number of Encoder signals controlled by this block | This non-editable parameter displays the number of channels in one sub-section listed in the configuration file. |
| Number of Encoder signals | Enter the number of signals for which encoder frequency values will be transmitted at each calculation step. Each encoder signal is a set of A, B and Z signals. The value of the number of signals must be less than or equal to the value of the 'Maximum number of Encoder signals' parameter. The data transfer mechanism between RT-LAB and the FPGA does not allow the selection of individual channels in the sub-section of channels. The data returned by the block will thus apply to the N first channels of the sub-section times 3, where N is the value of the 'Number of channels' parameter, and 3 stands for the A, B and Z signals. |
| Frequency unit | Select between 'Hz' or 'rpm' unit for the frequency values supplied via the input of the block. Note that the current implementation is limited to a maximum frequency of 10000 rpm, or 166.66 Hz. |
| Mode | Select between a single-ended or differential mode for the output signal. This parameter is not supported yet. Default value is single-ended. |
| Resolution (# of cycles per revolution) | Enter the integer number of cycles of the A and B signals per revolution. Its maximum is 32767 cycles per revolution. However, the maximum resolution combined with high rates will lead to precision loss. The maximum guaranteed resolution is 25000 PPR. |
| Clockwise rotation | This parameter determines whether the encoder signals are produced with signal A leading signal B, or the reverse, in a clockwise rotation. |
