Brief description MSX-E1701
2Brief description
In this chapter, the functions and features of the Ethernet system MSX-E1701 are described in brief.
Furthermore, you will find a general block diagram of the MSX-E system.
2.1 Functions and features
The intelligent Ethernet system MSX-E1701 has four incremental counter inputs or four PWM outputs
as well as 16 digital inputs and outputs, which can be configured as pairs of inputs or outputs.
By means of an external trigger, the inputs and outputs on multiple systems can be updated
simultaneously. The system can be configured over either the integrated web interface or SOAP
commands. These interfaces also enable signal generator data to be accessed.
Over an integrated Ethernet switch, the system can be cascaded with other MSX-E systems. This also
applies to the voltage supply and the trigger/synchro line, which facilitates wiring between the single
systems.
The Ethernet system is mounted in a robust EMC-protected metal housing, which complies with the
degree of protection IP 65. In this way, the Ethernet system is able to cope with daily stresses and
strains such as current peaks, vibrations, dirt or extreme temperatures. Moreover, it can be used in the
extended operating temperature range from -40 °C to +85 °C and is equipped with numerous
protective circuits. Error diagnoses are quickly identified by means of the “Status” LED display.
The electronics are no longer in the computer itself but in an external housing connected to the
computer via Ethernet. As the Ethernet system is attached in direct vicinity of the signal generator or
actuator, the function of the latter is no longer affected by long cables. The length of the (Ethernet)
connection cable from the Ethernet system to the computer may be up to 150 m. The system must be
supplied with external voltage (24 V).
Features:
•4 incremental counter inputs (32-bit) or 4 PWM outputs
•16 digital inputs/outputs, 24 V, can be configured in pairs, LEDs to display level and direction
•Watchdog for resetting the outputs to “0” (the latter are set to “0” at Power-On)
•Input/output: can be controlled by means of an external trigger (digital 24 V trigger input)
•Web interface to configure, control and monitor the digital input/output
•Data access via SOAP or Modbus (always TCP or UDP)
•Optical isolation
•Degree of protection: IP 65
•Cascadable; synchronisation in the μs range
•Extended operating temperature range from -40 °C to +85 °C

3.2 Selecting the supply voltage
At pins 2 and 12 of the M23 female connector, you can select between a supply voltage of 24 V and
5 V. This voltage is set by means of a jumper.
The jumper is inside the housing of the MSX-E system. In order to set the jumper to the desired
position, the right-hand side of the housing (see Fig. 3-1) needs to be opened.
i IMPORTANT!
Please note the following:
•The housing of the MSX-E system may be opened only for this
purpose (see also Chapter 1.2.4)!
•Use safeguarding against electrostatic charge!
•The MSX-E system must not be connected to a voltage source during
work at the housing and the jumper!
•When the housing is opened, neither solid nor liquid foreign bodies
(dirt, moisture, etc.) may enter the inside of the housing!

Function description: Incremental counter inputs MSX-E1701
3.4 TTL signal to RS422 input
i IMPORTANT!
This option does not apply to the system MSX-E1701-24V.
A TTL signal may also be connected to a differential RS422 input using a reference voltage of approx.
1.4 V. The reference voltage is switched on through software and output at pin D- of the M23 female
connector. On that condition, a differential signal cannot be connected to input D.
TTL signal to input D
The reference voltage is output at pin D-. The ground of the TTL signal must be connected to the
ground of the female connector. The TTL signal has to be connected to pin D+.
TTL signal to input A / B / C
The reference voltage needs to be connected externally from pin D- to the desired negative input
(A- / B- / C-). The ground of the TTL signal must be connected to the ground of the female connector.
The TTL signal has to be connected to the requested positive input (A+ / B+ / C+).
3.5 Acquisition modes
There are four modes available for the acquisition of incremental encoder signals.
Table 3-3: Incremental counter: Acquisition modes
Mode Feature
Single Acquisition with a quarter of the highest possible resolution
Double Acquisition with half of the highest possible resolution
Quadruple
Acquisition with the highest possible resolution
Direct Acquisition without detection of the direction
www.addi-data.com 16

Function description: Incremental counter inputs MSX-E1701
a) Single mode
In single mode, if trace A of the incremental encoder signal is on “high”, the system counts with each
rising edge of trace B.
Fig. 3-5: Incremental counter: Single mode
b) Double mode
In double mode, the system counts with each rising and falling edge of trace B.
Fig. 3-6: Incremental counter: Double mode
c) Quadruple mode
In quadruple mode, the system counts with each rising and falling edge of traces A and B.
Fig. 3-7: Incremental counter: Quadruple mode
d) Direct mode
In direct mode, the system counts with each falling edge of trace A, with input B serving as a gate
input. The system counts only if trace B is on “high”.
Moreover, in direct mode, the direction of counting can be programmed through software.
Fig. 3-8: Incremental counter: Direct mode
www.addi-data.com 17

Function description: Incremental counter inputs MSX-E1701
3.5.1 Options
1) Hysteresis function
The hysteresis function can be used in single, double and quadruple mode.
Fig. 3-9: Quadruple mode: Hysteresis “on”
With hysteresis “on”, the first counting pulse after a change of rotational direction is not evaluated.
Fig. 3-10: Quadruple mode: Hysteresis “off”
2) Way of counting
In direct mode, counting can be either upwards or downwards.
3.6 Frequency measurement
During frequency measurement, all pulses within a selected time frame are counted.
This interval may take 100 ns to 6.55 ms. Depending on the mode set (see Chapter 3.5), a pulse is
counted at a rising or falling edge of the incremental encoder signal.
The frequency measurement is started independently of the input signal through software. The 32-bit
counter is set to zero then. When the measurement is finished, the frequency of the input signal is
calculated from the length of the time frame and the number of counted pulses.
3.7 Compare logic
It is possible to use the compare logic for the generation of a trigger or synchro trigger signal in order
to latch the counter value.
There are two compare logic modes:
a) Simple mode
In Simple mode, a reference value can be indicated. As soon as the counter value corresponds to the
reference value, a trigger or synchro trigger is released.
www.addi-data.com 18

Function description: Incremental counter inputs MSX-E1701
b) Modulo mode
In Modulo mode, a reference value is indicated as well. When the counter value corresponds to the
reference value or a multiple of it, a trigger or synchro trigger is released.
3.8 Index and reference point logic
The index signal of an incremental encoder can be used either for latching or latching and deleting the
counter value.
You can select if the rising edge, the falling edge or both edges of the index signal should be counted.
Depending on the mode, the counter value is latched only once or endlessly after each defined edge.
Examples
a) Index logic with falling edge in continuous mode
In addition to the index logic, the reference point logic can be activated.
In this case, the defined edge of the index signal is counted only after a falling edge of the external
reference signal. Further relevant edges of the index signal are not taken into account until the next
falling edge of the reference signal has been counted.
b) Index logic with rising edge in continuous mode and reference point logic with falling edge
3.9 Hardware trigger
The digital 24 V trigger input of the MSX-E system can be used to latch the incremental counter value.
You can select if the rising edge, the falling edge or both edges of the trigger signal generated
externally should count. By means of the counter, you can define after which number of edges the
incremental counter value is to be latched.
Examples:
•Selected edge: rising
Counter value: 1
The incremental counter value is latched after every rising edge of the trigger signal.
•Selected edge: rising
Counter value: 3
The incremental counter value is latched after every third rising edge of the trigger signal.
•Selected edge: rising and falling
Counter value: 3
The incremental counter value is latched after every third edge of the trigger signal.

Function description: Incremental counter inputs MSX-E1701
www.addi-data.com 20
In order to suppress interfering signals, a software-programmable digital filter can be used for the
trigger input.
The filter time may be in the range between 250 ns and 16.38 ms. When the filter is activated, every
positive or negative pulse lasting shorter than the defined filter time is suppressed.
3.10 Digital filter for the incremental counter inputs
Not only for the hardware trigger input, but also for the incremental counter inputs a programmable
digital filter can be used to eliminate interfering signals.
For each of the four inputs, the filter can be set individually. The filter time may be 100 ns to 26.2 ms.
When the filter is activated, every positive or negative pulse lasting shorter than the defined filter time
is suppressed.
