Hi guys, I'm new to encoders and high speed counters. We are going to be using a Avtron Model HS25A Encoder. It has 100 PPR instead of 1024 PPR that we were using before.
Basically this Encoder is going in to all of our sites for our drives and motors. We have some sites that are going to use a MicroLogix 1500 and some sites that use a ControlLogix 5555.
We already have the controllogix site configured using the 1024 PPR encoder. Is there anything special that needs to be done to change the distance that would get counted because we are moving to a 100PPR instead of 1024PPR? If so where is this changed? or is it simply a logical change. Currently our machine uses "42000 steps per foot" so I'm guessing that's where I'd need to change?
Next, we've never used an encoder with a MicroLogix 1500. Is it simply buying a 1769-HSC module? Then how is it configured.
Thanks much!
