Encoder Configuration Page
In the System Explorer window configuration tree, expand the Power Electronics Add-On custom device and select Circuit Model >> ACIM >> Encoder to display this page. Use this page to configure the Encoder sensor model.
This page includes the following components:
| Encoder |
| Name | Specifies the name of the encoder. |
| Description | Specifies a description for the encoder. |
| Configuration |
|---|
| Symbol | Units | Default | Description |
|---|
| #Pole Pairs | pp |
| 1 | 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. |
| Angle Offset | θOffset | Degrees | 0° | Angle offset applied to the machine angle, θmach |
| Polarity |
|
| Active Low | Select one of the following options: - Active High - Output signals are pulled High to signify an encoder pulse
- Active Low - Output signas are pulled Low to signify an encoder pulse
|
| Pulses Per Revolution | ppr |
| 1000 | Number of pulses generated by the outputs A and B in a single revolution |
