Connecting encoders and probes

Axis encoders and probes are attached to interface connectors on the
rear of the ND 1200R. Many encoder interfaces are available to match
the wide variety of encoders that can be used with the ND 1200R. The
type and number of axis encoder connectors will vary depending on
the application. The ND 1200R shown in this photo includes
connectors for the X, Y and Z axes and a touch probe. Encoder inputs
are specified as analog or TTL at the time of purchase and cannot be
changed in the field.

The encoder connector locations are:

To connect the encoder cables and probe:

Verify that the ND 1200R is off.

Connect the axis encoders tightly to their connectors. An axis label
is provided near each connector. If the connectors include mounting
screws, do not overtighten them.
