Description

Features

• Acquisition of incremental encoders
• Frequency measurement
• Pulse width measurement
• Connection of 3 or 6 incremental encoders
• Possible configurations: 3 channels, 32-bit counting depth, diff. or TTL on the front connector/6 channels, 16-bit counter depth, diff. or TTL divided in 3 channels on the front connector and 3 on the connector for ribbon cable
• Automatic recognition of direction
• Mode with single, double or quadruple resolution
• Frequency measurement 10 MHz in direct mode, 2.5 MHz in quadruple mode
• 3 “reference” inputs for reference logic
• 3 “error” inputs for error signals, external strobe inputs
• Software or hardware reset
• 3 x 16-bit timer (82C54): Generation of interrupts, Strobe of the counters with timer-defined intervals, Programmable reference frequency for frequency and pulse width measure
• Interrupt with timer or through external strobe of the counters
