Using Encoders with Line Scan Cameras

MVS-8600 Hardware Manual 

81

guide when selecting an encoder for your line scan application. This information also 
describes a solution when the selected encoder does not meet the MVS-8600 encoder 
input requirements.

It is very important to select an encoder with the proper electrical characteristics. Using 
an encoder with incompatible electrical characteristics on MVS-8600 frame grabbers 
may result in damage to the encoder, the frame grabber, or both. The encoder may over 
heat and cause intermittent image acquisition problems such as image jitter and 
encoder overruns that can be very difficult to diagnose.  

There are several interface standards used for incremental encoders, such as RS-422, 
RS-485, LVDS (EIA-644), Push-Pull, Open-Collector, Sink/Source, and various TTL type 
Line Drivers. Each of these interfaces has a specification for voltage minimum and 
maximum, current sourcing or sinking limits, cable type and length maximums, as well 
as numerous industry association standards. These are summarized in Table 27 below. 

Table 27. Specifications and standards

The MVS-8600 I/O interface is multi-purpose and encompasses LVDS, RS-422, and TTL 
standards, but provides over voltage protection, without opto-isolation, through the use 
of a +5 V clamp on the signal interface. This means that the effective operating voltage 
input is limited to the range 0 V to +5 V. The over-voltage feature protects up to + 30 V 
input with high current sinking limits (2 Amps maximum). Thus, when the MVS-8600 is 
operating in TTL mode, it is compatible with TTL line driver encoders and open collector 
or push/pull interfaces when they operate within the +5 V limit for the encoder signals 
(such as A, B, Z, and so on).
