Decimal mode encoder factor -25.6: 0xFFE6.4000 = 0xFFE6.0x0FAO. This equals (2^16-
(FACTOR+1)).(10000-DECIMALS)
THE ENCODER COUNTER X_ENC
The encoder counter X_ENC holds the current encoder position ready for read out. Different modes
concerning handling of the signals A, B, and N take into account active low and active high signals
found with different types of encoders. For more details please refer to the register mapping in
section 6.4.
THE REGISTER ENC_STATUS
The register ENC_STATUS holds the status concerning the event of an encoder clear upon an N
channel signals. The register ENC_LATCH stores the actual encoder position on an N signal event.
20.1 Encoder Timing
The encoder inputs use analog and digital filtering to ensure reliable operation even with increased
cable length. The maximum continuous counting rate is limited by input filtering to 2/3 of fCLK.
