Encoder

Two inputs are available for incremental encoders with encoder inputs A and B. Single-ended HTL signals are provided as the encoder connection.

These can optionally be combined with

• Latch and gate/latch inputs for setting, blocking and saving the counter value or
• a combination of two 24 V_DC digital inputs/outputs.

The function of the inputs/outputs depends on the configuration of SlotGroup 1.

Two of the inputs can also be used as digital 24 V_DC outputs, with a current carrying capacity of 0.5 A per channel.
Optionally, one of the outputs can be set when a defined counter value is reached. This allows an exact reaction time independent of the fieldbus cycle.
