Refer to your encoder manual for proper cable type. The type of cable used should be twisted-pair, individually shielded
cable with a maximum length of 300 m (1000 ft).
(2)
External resistors are required if they are not internal to the encoder. The pull-up resistor (R) value depends on the power
supply value. The table shows the maximum resistor values for typical supply voltages. To calculate the maximum resistor
value, use the following formula:
where:
R = maximum pull-up resistor value
V DC = power supply voltage
V min = 2.6V DC
I min = 6.8 mA
The minimum resistor (R) value depends on the current sinking capability of the encoder. Refer
to your encoder’s documentation.
