The following settings are available for all types of encoders:
Encoder type
This setting is used to define the encoder type. The encoder types and their parameters
are described in detail in the following sections.
Power supply
Risk of destruction due to excessive voltage
If the voltage is too high, the angle encoder may be destroyed. Ensure that you have
selected the correct supply voltage prior to connecting the encoder to the X2B
connector.
Please state whether the angle encoder is supplied with 5 V or 10 V. You can find this
information on the data sheet. In general, Hiperface encoders are supplied with 7 V to
12V. Heidenhain encoders are supplied with 5 V. In the case of long cables, sense leads
must be used.
