The  PLC Tools SIM-E5V Encoder Simulator TTL uses an advanced microcontroller that allows to simulate encoder frequencies up to 10KHz in both directions.

Frequency selection performed using FREQUENCY pushbutton.

  • Output frequencies are 10Hz, 100Hz, 1KHz and 10KHz. Frequency selection is available in any output mode and while output is OFF.

Output Mode selected by the DIRECTION pushbutton.

  • OFF (steady LED),

  • CW (LED blinking once)

  • - CCW (LED blinking twice)

All signals are referenced to the Com terminal and the Common of the power supply.
