Grounding
Noise immunity can be increased by connecting the
ground screw on the rear panel to the star point of
machine ground. Minimum cross section of the
connecting wire: 6 mm

.
X4
Interfaces X1, X2, X3 and X4 comply with the recommen-
dations in EN 50 178 for separation from line power.
Connecting the encoders
POSITIP can be used with HEIDENHAIN linear and angle encoders
that provide sinusoidal output signals. The encoder inputs on the
rear panel are designated X1, X2, X3 and X4. The connecting
cable may not exceed 30 m (100 ft) in length.
Danger to internal components!
Do not engage or disengage any connections while
the unit is under power.

The encoder inputs are permanently assigned to 4 axes.
Operating parameter P49.* determines the designation of the
axes, e.g. axis 1 = X axis, axis 2 = Y axis.
