Feedback emulation into a variety of leading signal formats
Used In:
- Speed control of components like cameras and laser sources
- Providing sensor feedback to external components
- Control of additional stepper drives
Elmo drives can emulate any feedback (socket) to the following signal formats:
- A/B Quadrature. There are two output waves (A and B), generated 90 degrees out of phase from each other. These signals are decoded to produce a count up or count down.
- Pulse/Direction. Includes two signals:
- First wave signal (A) routed to PORT C includes the pulse wave. Each pulse indicates a single count.
- Second wave signal (B) indicates the direction of pulses in the first signal (A); low for negative direction and high for positive direction.
- Up/Down. Includes two waves:
- First wave signal (A) routed to PORT C includes pulses in the clockwise direction, each pulse representing a count up.
- Second wave signal (B) includes pulses in the counter-clockwise direction, each pulse represent a count down.
- Hall Signal Emulation. Includes three waves:
- PortC-A signal is Hall-A signal
- PortC-B signal is Hall-B signal
- PortC-I signal is Hall-C signal
For a Daisy Chain, when the emulated socket is Quadrature, an option is provided to connect the Quadrature input port directly to Port C, without using emulation.
