Encoder Terminal Block
For incremental encoder connections, each UMI-Flex4 axis has a separate
8-position terminal block. UMI-Flex4 accepts either single-ended TTL or
differential line driver inputs. You can connect open-collector encoders to
the UMI-Flex4 accessory by installing a 2.2 k
Ω
pull-up resistor to +5 V.
Note
Encoders with line driver outputs are recommended for all applications and must be
used if the encoder cable length is greater than 10 feet.
Power for the encoders is internally routed from the power input terminal
block and is available on pin 7 (+5 V). You must supply a +5 V source to
the power input terminal block for proper operation. Refer to Figure 33 to
help you locate the encoder terminal blocks on your UMI-Flex4 accessory.
Figure 36 shows the wiring for the differential encoder.
Note
The dotted loop indicates a shielded cable.
