SMC_FreeEncoder (FB)¶

FUNCTION_BLOCK SMC_FreeEncoder

the need to add it to the device tree.

Use the output variable Encoder of type FREE_ENCODER_REF as the encoder

axis.

If the function block is restarted, the free encoder is reinitialized.

Note that instances of this function block must not be assigned to other instances of the same function block. If you create your own function block containing this function block, it is recommended to add the attribute ‘no_assign’ to your function block as well.
