3.7.2 Encoder option - X8
The encoder connections (ABZ channels and Hall signals) are made using the 15-pin D-type
female connector X8. Twisted pair cables must be used for the complementary signal pairs
e.g. CHA+ and CHA-. The overall cable shield (screen) must be connected to the metallic
shell of the D-type connector.
