6-9-4 Encoder Count Direction
You can set the encoder direction for each counter.
Set the Encoder Count Direction parameter to change the encoder direction.
The following table shows the counter operation according to the pulse input method and encoder
count direction.
6-9-4 Encoder Count Direction
Parameter name Setting Default Remarks
Encoder Count Direc-
tion
0: Positive direction of phase A
1: Positive direction of phase B
0 Changes are applied when the power
supply to the NX Unit is turned ON or the
NX Unit is restarted.
