require substantially less power supply current to operate.
Terminal 5 provides a –5 VDC power supply @ 50 mA maximum. This allows the CN0182
to interface to analog (sine-cosine) encoders. These types of encoders need bipolar (+ and -)
power supplies. Since most encoders use the +5 volt supply to power their LEDs, the –5
VDC current rating of 50 mA is more than adequate.
Terminal 6 is the encoder ground. Use this terminal for the encoder return and ground shield.
Do not use Terminal 3 for encoder return. Terminal 6 connects to a “quiet” ground internally
while Terminal 3 has considerable ground noise that would compromise the noise immunity
of the encoder signal lines and cause erratic operation of the motor.
Terminals 7 and 8 are the channel inputs from the encoder. The inputs can be either TTL
(zero VDC, +5 VDC) levels or analog
±
1 volt amplitude sine-cosine inputs. The Encoder
Jumper on the Option Header (pins 9-10) selects between digital and analog encoder
operation. With no jumper in place the inputs must be TTL level signals; with a jumper
present the inputs are analog.
For analog sine-cosine encoders the CN0182 requires the channel outputs to be
±
1 volt in
reference to ground. Encoders that do not comply will require external amplification or
attenuation to interface to the CN0182.
Analog and digital encoders may be powered directly from the CN0182 if they
draw less that 100mA @ +5V and 50 mA @ -5V. Encoders requiring higher
voltage or current must be operated by external power supplies.
A special TTL encoder case occurs if the encoder outputs are open collector. Open collector
outputs must have pull-up resistors in order to function. Figure 9 shows how these resistors
are to be connected.

The CN0182 performs a "times 4" decoding, resulting in a resolution four times greater than
the line count of the encoder. As an example, a 1000 count per revolution encoder will result
in 4000 positions per revolution.
