HOW TO USE THE
ADVANCED FUNCTIONS
4.4 Pulse Output (F1/F2)
It is possible to output the desired number of pulses during one turn of the Encoder.
Output pulses can be used as outputs to a rotation meter and the ability to set the number of pulses per
turn as required makes selection of the device to be connected easier.
The fact that it is also possible to set the pulse output timing allows the H8PS Cam Positioner to be used
for setting the system operating timing and similar applications.
<Example 1>
Number of output pulses: 20, start angle: 0°
<Example 2>
Number of output pulses: 4, start angle: 10°
* In Example 2, setting a pulse output start angle of 100°, 190° or 280° would result in the same pattern of
pulse outputs.
