Hi guys,
I need to calibrate two encoders on a plank edger. One is on an infeed belt, and the second is on the rolls and outfeed belt. This is on a L61 v20.18 through a 1756-M02AE card.
I'm stumped because I can't seem to find the tag that holds the encoder pulses. In the axis tag, I can only find the .ActualPosition tag but thats AFTER the conversion and is in feet, so I can't use it to calculate the ratio with (PosB-PosA/traveled distance) method.
Or is there is another method to do this with a M02AE?
The tag reports around 450'/mins for the infeed and I mesured 439 with a taco. The oufeed tag reports 454 when the taco reads 425. So thats why I want to calibrate, we have issues with the press rolls lowering a little bit early on thicker planks and I figured I'd start by confirming the encoders were calibrated.
I did go trough the "MOTION-UM001F-EN-P" manual, I does explain every tab, but there doesn't seem to be an actual calibration procedure that I could follow.
Thanks guys
