Connections
The distance measuring system is connected to a higher-level control system (e.g. servo drive)
with the cable permanently mounted on the encoder. It is supplied with a low voltage of 5
V.
The cable can be supplied with open ends (see Fig. 3.5) or optionally pre-assembled with a
round plug coupling (see Fig. 3.6).

Reference switch
The MAGIC encoder provides index signals at intervals of 1
mm. A reference switch ("cam
switch") is required to define a zero point.
HIWIN offers an inductive proximity switch for this purpose (see Fig. 3.7).
