I am attempting to use a Mitutoyo SAM (Single Axis Multiplier)-15 connected to a Mitutoyo linear scale (AT102) with an Allen Bradley 1746-HSCE2 High Speed Counter module.
The application is a simple drilling machine in which I need to capture the linear position of the drill.
The SAM unit is connected as a quadrature differential input to the AB module.
I am very overwhelmed with all the parameter settup for this AB module and would like some advice on how to quickly determine what I need to do to get up and running.
I have a manual for the AB module, but I am confused about the virtual I/O that is built into it.
Also, I have a timing diagram for the output of the SAM unit for A, B, and Z. It doesn't match the example in the AB manual for a differential encoder. I'm thinking that I may have to make some wiring adjustments to compensate.
If anyone has used this module with a linear scale to determine vertical position I would appreciate their advice!
I apologize for such a general question. I am at the point right now of just trying to get a handle on some of the issues I am dealing with in this module so I can formulate more intelligent questions to Allen Bradley tech. support.
Thank you!
