UIS-WCB2 HSI connected to encoder

Recommended Posts

Can anyone help me how to use UIS-WCB2 for the position detection?

I have connected Encoder A and B outputs on card inputs, it counting But I need two directional counting and can't figure out how to set it.

I am new with Unitronics so please feel free to propose obvious simple solutions if exist.

Thank you in advance

I think that the user did not select correct option in the HW configuration.

Unfortunately,  user did not specify which settings he selected.

By selecting the quadrature (A/B) encoder option, we automatically select (maybe) that this is a reversible counting device, which also takes into account the direction of rotation of the encoder during the processing of two quadrature signals A and B.

Unfortunately, I do not have such IO on my desk to experimentally confirm or refute my guesses.

Although I may be wrong in my guesses - only the project sent by the user can show what is wrong with the encoder configuration or signal processing from it.

Thank you so much for the answer. Last few days I was not near machine so I am able to test it now.

My first setup was as @kratmel suggested, I also tried with High speed type: Measure Length (Pulse Counter) and A/B interface of course. 

I have 2 encoders and in both cases during movement value of the tag  UIS-WCB2_0.B1: Counter is alternately changing from 0 to 1. When I stop movement last value remains. 

During movement value of the tag UIS-WCB2_0.B1: Frequency is 0.

I need this encoder for position reading so I would like to have some number which I can calculate position from.
