Connecting an Optional Encoder (X8)
The encoder connection point X8 is provided for connection of an optional en‐
coder, e.g., as a spindle encoder at turning machines. This interface is designed
for connection of a multitude of encoder types.
● 1Vpp, sine wave encoder, with reference track, 12 V and 5 V supply
● 1Vpp, sine wave encoder, EnDat2.1, 12 V and 5 V supply
● 1Vpp, sine wave encoder, HIPERFACE®, 12 V and 5 V supply
● TTL encoder, with reference track, 5 V supply
● Encoder according to EnDat2.2 specification

● Please only use
shielded cables according to the Rexroth
specification applicable for connecting external encoders. This
specification can be found in the following documentation:
DOK-INDRV*-HCQ-T+HMQ-T-PR01-EN-P.
● The maximum length of the encoder cable is 40 m.
● We recommend that you use Rexroth encoder cables RKG for
connecting external encoders.
● We recommend that you use encoders of type Rexroth
GDS02.1-2048-14V-H12.0 and GDM02.1-2048-14V-H12.0,
each with a resolution of 2048 pixels, as spindle encoders for
turning machines. The required encoder cable is RKG0036.
Wrong handling may result in material dam‐
age!
CAUTION
Only connect and disconnect the plugs to and from the encoder and connection
point X8 while the supply voltage is turned off!
