4.2.5 Encoder Connection
Arcode support various types of encoder can be found on the market. For asynchronous motors
incremental encoders which are cost effective are enough while absolute encoders are required for
synchronous motors.
Encoders are very sensitive devices for electromagnetic interferences. For this reason encoder cables
are shielded. While routing encoder cables pay attention to route with enough distance to high
current cables.
Before connecting an encoder to the Arcode, please check encoder manufacturer user manual for
right signal positions, names and colors.
