After setting is complete, check the setting while operating the conveyor. Monitor the input signal to monitor the encoder count increase or decrease as the conveyor moves. The encoder count is only displayed in positive numbers from 0 to the maximum value. While it is not mandatory, it is recommended that the count be set to increase as the conveyor moves.
Encoder Strobe Count is a counter that increases each time an item is detected by the triggering switch. Block the triggering switch and check whether the accumulative count increases and the encoder count decreases to 0 at the desired edge.
Ideally, the encoder strobe count of the corresponding edge shall only increase by 1. However, there are cases where multiple counts are made at the edge due to signal noise. It is possible to compensate for such multiple counts accumulated at the edge with triggering_mute_time during conveyor tracking, but as noise can also influence the encoder count, it is recommended that the cause be eliminated by checking the hardware.
