Assignment of the encoder sockets X3A and X3B
Notes for Pin 25 / 26
Supply voltage of U
DC
= 8 V is issued if
• Parameter ec14 Bit 1 = "manual“ and ec14 Bit 0 = "8V“ is set.
• Parameter ec14 Bit 1 = "automatically“ and ec16 = "Hiperface“ or "Resolver“ is set.
All other voltages are not defined at this contacts and may not be used for supply of encoders!
8.5 Encoder cable length
The maximum encoder cable length is 50 m. In addition, the value is limited by the
signal frequency, cable capacity and supply voltage.
The maximum encoder cable length due to the voltage drop on the supply line is
calculated as follows:
