Requirements Encoders must be line driver type, quadrature (dual channel) or pulse (single channel), single-
ended or differential and capable of supplying a minimum of 10 mA per channel. The encoder
interface board accepts 5V or 12V DC square-wave with a minimum high state voltage of 3.5V
DC (5V mode) and 7.0V DC (12V mode). Maximum low state voltage is 1V DC (for both 5V and
12V modes). Maximum input frequency is 250 kHz.
