This port sets the QAE speed in RPM (Revolutions per Minute). A positive value results in CW (clockwise) quadrature signals, a negative value results in CCW (counterclockwise) quadrature signals (for details see Quadrature Encoding ).

This port is only visible if Enable in the Disturb Signal A parameter is set. Depending upon the settings of Single and Dismiss High in the Disturb Signal A parameter, this input interrupts the quadrature A signal.

This port is only visible if Enable in the Disturb Signal B parameter is set. Depending upon the settings of Single and Dismiss High in the Disturb Signal B parameter, this input interrupts the quadrature B signal.

This port shows the current position of the QAE. This output is an integer number between 0 and the number set in the Number of Slots Vector parameter minus 1 (for details see Quadrature Encoding ). This output is only visible if the Show Position Output Port parameter is set.

This port shows the position within the current slot. The output is a fraction between 0 and 1 (for details see Quadrature Encoding )and is only visible if the Show Slot Position Output Port parameter is set.

	Note
	Using the output ports introduces additional latency.

This parameter associates a code module block with a configurable I/O module setup block. Set this value to match the Module ID defined in the setup block of the required configurable I/O module.

A vector of channels this driver block entity will access. You can specify channels in the range 1-N (N = the number of channels implemented in your specific configuration file defined in the Setup block). The width of this vector also defines the subsequent size of some of the following parameters if scalar expansion applies. With a single block, all the channels of the block are synchronized.

Defines the base sample time at which this driver block gets its sample hit. This parameter can also be set to -1 for inherited sample time. The units are in seconds.

The number of slots per revolution (for details see Quadrature Encoding)

The phase angle where the Signal A switches on.

The phase angle where the Signal B switches off.

The phase angle where the Signal B switches on.

	Note
	for details on the Switch-On and Switch-Off times, see Quadrature Encoding Signal Timing

The position of the Encoder at model start. The parameter is only visible if the configuration file supports QAE v3.3 or newer.

Note

The initial position cannot be higher than the parameter Number of Slots. This parameter is a fractional number where the number itself represents the slot number minus one and the fraction represents the position within the slot. As an example, if the initial position of the encoder shall be in the middle of the second slot, the initial position must be set to 1.5. In other words, the initial position is now one and a half slots from the zero-position

If the Enable parameter is set, the quadrature A signal can be interrupted. The type of interruption depends upon the following parameters (see also Quadrature Encoding Interrupt Signals for details):

Dismiss High parameter:

Single parameter:

Same settings as the Disturb Signal A parameter but valid for the quadrature B signal.

When this parameter is set, the Position [Number of Slot] output is shown.

When this parameter is set, the Slot Position output is shown.
