2 Set the Counter Type, Maximum Counter Value, and Minimum Counter Value.
There are the following three pulse input methods for counters:
• Phase differential pulse input multiplication x2/4
•Pulse + direction inputs
• Up and down pulses
Use the Pulse Input Method parameter to change the input method.
There are two multiplications for the phase differential pulse inputs: x2 and x4.
The default setting is for x4 multiplication.
Connect the phase-A and phase-B2 phase differential pulse inputs to inputs A and B on the encoder.
Connect the reset input or latch input to input Z.
Change the Encoder Count Direction parameter in the Unit operation settings to change the count
direction.
Refer to 6-9-4 Encoder Count Direction on page 6-53 for information on changing the count direction.
 x2 Multiplication
The counter operation is performed on the rising and falling edges of the phase-A signal.
The count is incremented if phase A is advanced from phase B and decremented if phase A is
delayed from phase B.
 x4 Multiplication
This setting is used to increase the resolution of encoder input compared with multiplication x2.
The counter operation is performed on the rising and falling edges of the phase-A and phase-B sig-
nals.
The count is incremented if phase A is advanced from phase B and decremented if phase A is
delayed from phase B.
