sync encoder with magsensor

What controller are you using? Closed loop count requires a command be issued via serial, so to do this via the setup you want, you would likely need to write a script.

You wire your encoders to the encoder lines. Disable both pulse inputs 1 and 2 completely (uncheck checkboxes, set to no action, and disabled).

Wire up the pwm out from the sensor to an available pulse input feed. In the conversion type, you set it to magsensor.

Then you would need to write a script that queries the magsensor and gives the controller a command to the motor.

Please review the usermanual for all command references and queries.

For scripting: 'not case sensitive

If you use pulse input 3 for your magsensor then it would look like this.

dim magsensor as integer
top: 'loop label
magsensor = getvalue(_PI, 3)

to give a command to tell the motor 1 to go to count to count position 100, you would use the following.

setcommand(_P, 1, 100)

so with that in mind you can use 'if then' statement arguments to tell the motor how it needs to behave. Here is a sample.


dim magsensor as integer
top: 'loop label
magsensor = getvalue(_PI, 3)

if magsensor = 50 then
setcommand(_P, 1, 1000)
elseif magsensor = 75 then
setcommand(_P, 1, 1500)
end if
wait(1) ' wait 1 mS
goto top

Is your encoder wired to correct pins?

Did you completely disable the corresponding pulse inputs that share that same line?
