Encoder Positioning

[Toro]

I am using a FP-Quad-510 an a quadrature incremental encoder (500lines)position of a step motor. My problem is that when I increase the speed of the step motor the encoder reading is not incremental but rather jumps in numbers as the motor moves.

Hi Toro,

I'm not shure, but I think the default update rate is 0.1Hz (100ms), so your result look reasonable.
Fieldpointmodules are not very fast (low scanrate compared to DAQ).

Solution:
-increase the update rate by soft- or hardware
(or slow down your motor speed 😉
