Publication 2098-IN003E-EN-P — April 2004
Ultra3000 Connector Data 2-41
The Ultra3000 supports both TTL and Sine/Cosine encoders. The
following table provides a description of the AM, BM, and IM inputs
for TTL encoders.
The following table provides a description of the AM and BM inputs
for Sine/Cosine encoders.
Parameter Description Minimum Maximum
AM, BM, and IM
ON State
Input Voltage
Input voltage difference between the + input
and the - input that is detected as an ON
state.
+1.0V +7.0V
AM, BM, and IM
OFF State
Input Voltage
Input voltage difference between the + input
and the - input that is detected as an OFF
state.
-1.0V -7.0V
Common Mode
Input Voltage
Potential difference between any encoder
signal and logic ground.
-7.0V +12.0V
DC Current Draw Current draw into the + or - input. -30 mA 30 mA
AM, BM Input
Signal Frequency
Frequency of the AM or BM signal inputs.
The count frequency is 4 times this
frequency, since the circuitry counts all four
transitions.
—2.5 MHz
IM Pulse Width
Pulse width of the index input signal. Since
the index is active for a percentage of a
revolution, the speed will determine the
pulse width.

Amount that the phase relationship between
the AM and BM inputs can deviate from the
nominal 90°.
