<div class="markdown_content"><p>You are receiving a value from a decoder giving you for example 11 pulses /degree<br/> you have a setpoint for example 12.5 degrees<br/> this is simple math giving you 137 pulses.<br/> Just test if decoder &gt; 137 then reached else notyet.<br/> This way you do not have to do your math very fast but only when the setpoint changes.<br/> and if the decoder is higher as 360*11=3600+360=3960 then subtract 3960.<br/> if lower then zero add 3960 obvious.</p> <p>This you can also do with a multiturn but then make the limits higher.<br/> be aware that the counter keeps on counting even when you subtract, so get new values and keep on getting.</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Found a solution.<br/> May not be the most efficient, but if you have any other ideas i'd like to know<br/> I just converted the degrees to radians using RAD, which will correct the angle so that it is between 360, then converted back to degrees with the DEG function</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Currently I have an encoder wired to a high-speed wago card, which counts the number of pulses (low and high bytes)</p> <p>currently i have the block word_of_byte which is calculating the total value of the high and low bytes that have passed. I then have it converted to degrees.</p> <p>The problem is that I want to limit this to stop at 0 and 360. The limit function won't work for this because sometimes it may skip over 0 and go to an extremely high degree and think that it's at it's max (360) </p> <p>any ideas?</p> <p>thanks<br/> Martino</p></div>
