I am setting up a machine that has 18 axes. I am using incremental encoders for axes 1-9 and analog inputs for axes 10-18. I am also using 2 additional incremental encoders for Master Following on axes 8 & 9. These incremental encoders are hooked into the encoder slots of axes 10 & 11 and then mapped to the slaved axes (Ixx05). Everything works perfect with the master following enabled, and I can see the output of the encoders as they move.
My problem is that I sometimes need to zero out the 2 additional incremental encoders. A regular HMZ only affects the analog input for 10 & 11, and not the encoders. How can I zero out the additional encoders I have installed and not affect my axes 10 & 11?
Encoder table definition below for reference. Entry 10 and 11 are the additional incremental encoders that are mapped for master following (I805=$350A, I905=$350B).
