Interfaces
To improve noise immunity, a cable shield should terminate at both
ends of the cable. Shields should connect to the backshell of the
connectors with termination around the full circumference (360°). The
connectors should attach to chassis ground (not signal common).

ture, or TTL level encoder input. The signal input and
resolution are selectable.

ture, or TTL level encoder inputs. The signal input and
resolution are selectable.

ON State Voltage
Voltage difference between the + and - inputs
that indicate an ON state.
1.0 Volts
+15 Volts
OFF State Voltage
Voltage difference between the + and - inputs
that indicates an OFF state.
-1.0 Volts
-15 Volts
Common Mode Volt-
age
Voltage difference between an encoder signal
input and the reference ground of the drive.
-15 Volts
+15 Volts
Current Draw
Current draw into the + input or - input
-5 mA
+5 mA
A or B Signal
Frequency
Frequency of the A or B line inputs. Count fre-
quency is 4 times this frequency, since the cir-
cuitry counts each of the four transitions in a
single line.
1 MHz
Index Pulse Width
Pulse width of the index signal. The index sig-
nal is active for a percentage of the revolution,
therefore the speed of the encoder dictates the
pulse width.
