1.9 I/O Wiring (continued)
1.9.3 Output Wiring
The output on the Networked Driver is an opti-
cally isolated transistor that is capable of driv-
ing a typical PLC input. Both ends are
uncommitted, so it can be wired as a sinking or
sourcing output.
Electrical Specifications
R
LIMIT
A resistor may be needed to limit the current
through the output. The value, and power rating
of the resistor is dependent on the value of Vdc,
the voltage drop across the input, and the cur-
rent requirements of the input.
1.9.4 Encoder Wiring
The figure below shows how to wire a 5Vdc differential encoder to a Networked Driver.
The ±A channel must be wired to Input 1 for proper operation
The ±B channel must be wired to Input 2 for proper operation
The ±Z channel is optional. If used, it must be wired to Input 3. The Z channel is only used when
homing the Networked Driver.
