The PPMC is a hardware encoder counter. The Z signal from your encoder connects to the hardware. On the software side, there should be a HAL pin from the driver called ppmc.N.encoder.M.index-enable, where N is probably zero (you only have one ppmc board), and M is the encoder channel. There is also a pin from the EMC motion controller called axis.N.index-enable. Connect them. If that doesn't work, I suggest you contact the manufacturer of the ppmc board.
