X1
– X8: Encoder Feedback, Serial
The PMAC3 style ASIC in the Power Brick Controller accepts a variety of serial encoder protocols.
These protocols are built into the ASIC.
X1-X8: D-sub DA-15F
Mating: D-sub DA-15M

Caution
The +5 VDC encoder power is limited to ~250 mA per channel. For
encoders requiring more current, the +5 VDC power can be alternately
brought in externally through the +5 VDC ENC connector.
Caution
Encoders requiring a voltage level other than +5 VDC (higher or
lower) should be powered using an external power supply directly into
the encoder.
