Epsilon EP-P Drive and FM-3/4 Module Reference Manual
The user must determine which signals are used to enable, activate, and then reset the Capture component. A
CaptureTriggered destination is then available to indicate to the user that data has been captured and is available for use.
Figure 57: Capture Component
A detailed description of all the Capture parameters is below.
CaptureEnable
The CaptureEnable is used to enable or “arm” the capture component. If the CaptureEnable is not active, then the
CaptureActivate has no effect, and the CaptureTriggered remains inactive. Once the CaptureEnable is activated, the Capture
component is ready and waiting for a CaptureActivate signal to capture data. CaptureEnable is a read-only destination on the
Assignments view, and is accessible through a user program.
CaptureActivate
If the Capture component is enabled and has been reset (CaptureTriggered is inactive), then the rising edge of
CaptureActivate will capture the four data parameters and cause CaptureTriggered to be activated. If the Capture component
is not enabled, or has not been reset, the CaptureActivate will be ignored.
CaptureReset
The CaptureReset is used to reset or re-arm the capture component after it has been activated. If the capture has been
activated, the CaptureTriggered destination will be active. The capture component cannot capture data again until it has been
reset. The capture component will automatically reset itself if the CaptureEnable signal is removed.
CaptureTriggered
The CaptureTriggered signal is read-only and indicates that the Capture component was activated and that data has been
captured. CaptureTriggered will activate on the leading edge of CaptureActivate if the Capture component is enabled and
reset. Capture Triggered will remain active until CaptureReset is activated.
Name
You can assign a descriptive name to each capture, making the setup easier to follow. The length of the text string is limited
by the column width with a maximum of 12 characters. Simply double click on the Name field of any capture’s line to assign
a name to it.
Capture Number
This parameter defines the number of Capture objects available. Maximum is eight.
Captured Data
The data that is acquired by the position capture is available to be used as variables in a program. The four parameters can
be accessed as follows:
Capture.#.CapturedTime
The time, in microseconds, from a free-running 32-bit binary counter at which CaptureTriggered activated.

CaptureActivate
CaptureReset
