jac22 Posts: 3 Rating: (0)	I have an application that I want to measure the counts from two motor encoders both giving 1024 ppr @ 1750rpm. A common prox is used to gate the counters but I need to know in the program that the stored values are from the same event when the code is evaluated. The FM350-2 looks to be the card but can’t count fast enough and the FM350-1 is only one channel. Is there a way of using the FM350-1 say with a timestamp? Any ideas would be appreciated. thanks

gre_m Posts: 947 Rating: (45)	I not understand "ppr". This is a pulse per round? 1Count 5V/500KHZ - need 2 way (4 wire) for pulse. 1Count 24V/100KHZ -1way (2wire)or 2 way (4 wire)for pulse

jac22 Posts: 3 Rating: (0)	Thanks for the suggestions but the exsisting system currently employs two FM350-1’s so I must go with them. Plus I like the speed of having them on the same backplane as the CPU. From what I understand there is a bit in the DB of CNT_CTL1 that indicates a “New latch value”. So I can use that bit for the card to confirm that latched values are from the same event. -Yes ppr = “pules per revolution” is a parameter when ordering an encoder. Cheers

	Regards, Jacek What is confusing you is the fact that you never see a number but always its digit representation. So you end up thinking that the number is the representation. - Andrej Bauer Any claims against me - based on whatever legal reason - resulting from the use of any code and/or ideas presented on this forum shall be excluded. #StayWithUkraine
