DMC-1400 Series Command Reference CE ● 51
CE FUNCTION: Configure Encoder
DESCRIPTION:
The CE command configures the encoder inputs to the quadrature type or the pulse and
direction type. It also allows inverting the polarity of the encoders. The configuration
applies independently to the main axis encoder and the auxiliary encoder inputs.
ARGUMENTS: CE n where
n is an integer in the range of 0 to 15. Each integer is the sum of two integers r and s which
configure the main and the auxiliary encoders. The values of r and s are
R = MAIN ENCODER TYPE S = AUXILIARY ENCODER TYPE
0 Normal quadrature 0 Normal quadrature
1 Normal pulse and direction 4 Normal pulse and direction
2 Reversed quadrature 8 Reversed quadrature
3 Reversed pulse and direction 12 Reversed pulse and direction
For example: n = 6 implies r = 2 and s = 4, both encoders are reversed quadrature.

EXAMPLES:
CE 0 Configure encoders
CE ? Interrogate configuration
V = _CE Assign configuration to a variable
Note 1: When using pulse and direction encoders, the pulse signal is connected to CHA and the
direction signal is connected to CHB.
Note 2: when the controller is a DMC-1425, the y-axis encoder is still considered the x-axis auxiliary
encoder for the sake of the CE command.
