Connecting encoders
The RS-422 inputs on the camera have internal termination, which makes it possible to
connect an RS-422 encoder to the camera without requiring any external termination.
With this termination it is possible to directly connect up to two cameras to the same
encoder.
Use an incremental encoder with two channels (A+/A- and B+/B-) and connect all four
outputs. It is not possible to connect an index channel (Z) to the camera.
The drawing below shows an example for connecting one SICK Stegmann RS-422
encoder (DRS-60 with TTL output levels) to two cameras.
