At a Glance
The TSX CTY2C speed counting and measurement module has several possible input interface types. The interface is configured using the configuration editor.
Procedure
The table below summarizes the procedure for configuring a TSX CTY2C module input interface.
Step
Action
1
Open the module to be configured.
2
In the channel field: select the counter (i.e. the channel) concerned.
3
In the general parameters field: select or enable the counting function.
Result: the configuration screen appears.
4
In the general parameters field: select the task for the exchange of objects.
5
In the Input interfaces field, select from the drop-down list :
  • the type of input interface:
    • Counting pulses,
    • Incremental encoder,
    • Absolute encoder,
    • absolute encoder with parallel outputs.
6
Click on the Configuration button to access these details.
7
The following screen entitled Configure input interface depends on the type of interface chosen in step 5:
  • Counting pulses interface: choose the configuration for the physical inputs IA, IB, IZ, then the filtering (signal frequency limit).
  • Incremental encoder interface: choose the filtering, while taking into account the multiplication by 1 or by 4.
  • Absolute encoder interface.
8
Then select, according to the application:
  • Measurement inversion (invert the measurement change direction given by the input definition).
  • The modulo mode and its value.
9
Configuration of the input interface is complete.
Confirm the new configuration. To do this:
  • enable the Configure the input interface screen,
  • scroll down the Edit menu and select the OK command.
