The simulation port does not mention any signal common.
The manufacturer included very little information about it in the manual. (and I have both versions of the manual) LOL..
They only list the pins as described.
In the DigitAx brochure (and I just found a single reference to it ) they list the encoder simulation as dual quadrature channel with marker pulse.
(Yes, after a 4months of referencing this manual, I just found this) Its listed under the "features" section..
So now, I look like a moron, and I would assume the C and C- are Index and Index -.
It would have took me much longer had someone here not refereed to that index as a "marker".
Now I am learning.
Also, if I was to check out the encoder pulses with a scope, would I be correct in assuming the timing I needed would be RPM X Encoder Counts per Revolution?
Thanks for your help, |
