Hi,
I want to use the external encoder input of the drive(EN2) independently of the axis and as a counter. The servo motor will do its normal operation with its own encoder, while the external encoder input will measure the length of an ever-increasing rope. When the counter reaches a certain length, I should be able to reset the encoder value with the PLC program.
In summary, can I use the external encoder input for any other purpose, independent of the axis?
Thank you from now
My configuration is as follows:
PLC
IndraMotionMlc1 CML25 with sercos 3
Inline modules
R_IB_IL_24_DI_16 (2 items)
R_IB_IL_24_DO_16 (2 items)
R_IB_IL_AI_8_SF (1 items)
R_IB_IL_AO_2_SF (2 items)
R_IB_IL_INC_IN (1 items)
Drive
HCS03.1E-W0100-A-05-LNBV
CSB01.1C-S3-ENS-EN2-NN-S-NN-FW
FWA MPB-08V08-D5-1-NNN-NN
MSK101D-0450-NN-M1-AP0-NNNN
Note:
We are currently using IB-IL-INC-IN-PAC encoder module for the rope counter, but the encoder module is sometimes affected by somethings and it counts by itself.
Since we cannot solve this problem excatly, we want to use the external encoder input of the drive.
