Digital Encoder Terminal Block
The encoder connection cables should always be connected directly to the
terminals on the encoder terminal block. The encoder cable must be made
up of twisted pairs with the shield connected to the shield ground on the
drive side. Do not connect the shield to ground on the motor side. In some
cases (i.e., cable lengths that exceed 100 meters), it may be necessary to
ground the shield of each twisted pair on the power supply. Refer to
for Digital Encoder specifications.
