Encoder Cable
Best Practice
• Because of its resistance against electrical interferences,
we recommend using differential
scheme
. Nevertheless, the controller supports both schemes – differential and single-ended.
• The controller does not require an index impulse (Ch I, Ch I\).
• For best performance,
we strongly recommend using encoders with line driver
. Otherwise,
speed limitations may apply due to slow switching edges.
