Hardware Installation

To use conveyor tracking, you must install encoders for each physical conveyor on the system. Each encoder is wired to a box connector (CH1, CH2) on conveyor tracking option kit B or to a single channel on the pulse generator (PG) board. Conveyor tracking option kit B allows up to two encoders to be installed. The pulse generator (PG) board allows up to four encoders to be installed. A trigger input is also provided for each encoder to latch position, such as when used with a vision camera with a strobe.
