Re: mounting encoder with pulley

Hello,
That is what the step multiplier does. Assuming it is the same
device that's been added to the G320 to make a G340. It sounds
illogical, but it actually is a divider. In 4x mode, your 2000 ppr
encoder will be 500 ppr. Or you can look at it as it now moves four
pulses for every single pulse from the pulse source. I own two G340's
(multiplier built in), and some small Yaskawa Minertia servos with
2000 count encoders (8000 quad). I ran them on the bench with
different multipliers with success. Marriss just made the multiplier
available so that G320 owners could add the capability later I guess.
