This version of the Encoder and its associated Hardware Configurations have been archived. If starting a new project, consider using a different Hardware Configuration.
Encoder Configuration Page
In the System Explorer window configuration tree, expand the Power Electronics Add-On custom device and select Circuit Model >> PMSM VDQ >> 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
