Hi,

I try to calibrate the conveyor, but I have have a problem. Could you tell me, when in FlexPendant can I reverse the A and B inputs from the encoder and change the direction of positive motion from encoder ??

    Hi Maly

          As long as I know, there is no way to reverse the A and B Encoder by Parameter on Pendant (Software). Why???? Because it's very very easy to reverse it by wiring on Encoder Board DSQC377A. You must only exchange pin-5 and pin-6 on Connector X20 - DSQC377A. There is no soldering needed on that way, just plug and play, very easy.

        In another Robot (Motoman), there is facility to reverse the encoder input (conveyor dirrection) by pendant/software. Why????? Because to exchange the encoder input by wiring way, we must do some soldering and it's very not practical.

        So I think it's a reason why we don't need to exchange Encoder input A and B on ABB Robot by Pendant.

    I hope it can answer your question.
