Incremental encoder

Summit servo drives drive are able to use up to 2 digital incremental encoder as feedback for any purpose (position, velocity, commutation, and auxiliary).

The parameters required to configured each digital encoder are:

• Resolution. Resolution of the encoder in total counts per mechanical revolution.

  

  Changing the resolution of the incremental encoder resets the position, commutation and/or reference reading values if the incremental is selected for any of these functionalities.

• Polarity. Polarity of the encoder. Setting a 0 value sets standard polarity, and setting a value different from 0 sets reversed polarity.
• Filter. Glitch filter levels of the incremental encoder module. There are 10 different glitch filter levels. Each level corresponds to a specific cut-off frequency. Setting this parameter to 0 will disable the glitch filter. The different glitch filter levels can be seen in the following table:

Additionally to the processed values obtained from the control loops (position, velocity, or angle), the raw value of the encoder is available for the user.
