The Encoder Simulator from the famous brand name PLC Tools developed to aid integrators in trouble shooting and application development of projects. It offers High Speed Counters as well as Flow Meters. Similarly to the incremental encoders and flow meters, Encoder Simulator also generates high accuracy square wave signals. The use of an advanced microcontroller allows the Encoder Simulator simulates encoder frequencies up to 10 KHz in both directions. The frequency selection is performed using FREQ pushbutton. The output frequencies can be 10Hz, 100Hz, 1 KHz and 10 KHz selectable when output is OFF.
You can define the Output Mode through DIR pushbutton to select among three selections including OFF indicated by steady LED, CW indicated by LED blinking once, and CCW indicated by LED blinking twice. Further, if it is necessary you can still use extra +24V and Com terminals to connect Common/Return wires and pull-up resistors.
Encoder Signal Output Open Collector Model:
Pushbutton information:
Encoder Simulator Signals:
Encoder Output Channel A+ = A
Encoder Output Channel B+ = B
Encoder Output Channel Z+ = Z
External P5 Common = Com
External 24V P5 Positive = +24V
Only to remember is the simulator is for illustrative purposes only and not for permanent use in live production systems. The product is only for the general assistance with application development and debugging.

Encoder Simulator Application
The Encoder Simulator product has been used for supporting the development in various industries like in oil/gas industry and other. As it is designed with ease use in mind, what you only need to do is only connect the wires then press the DIR button to switch between off, counter clockwise, and clockwise rotation, then press FREQ button to toggle between the desired output frequencies.Only to remember is the simulator is for illustrative purposes only and not for permanent use in live production systems. The product is only for the general assistance with application development and debugging.
