Encoder Inputs
e 1351 System Controller accepts two position encoder inputs labeled as Encoder 1 and Encoder 2.
ree types of encoders can be connected:
• Quadrature Encoders with Open Collector outputs
• Sine/Cosine Position sensors
• Sawtooth Position transducer
Each type of encoder requires unique wiring and setup parameters, yet the result is the same: position
and speed measurements. Aer selecting the encoder Type, its corresponding parameter set will
become available, otherwise it is hidden. Notice that Encoder 1 shares its inputs with the High Speed
Digital Inputs (see above), thus it cannot be used as both the encoder and the high-speed inputs
simultaneously. For each type of encoder, the input signals are mathematically converted to position
and speed. In all cases, the connections are referenced to the controller’s I/O ground (pin 8).

These quadrature encoder signal tolerances must be maintained throughout the application’s
operating conditions, including voltage and temperature, as well as speed and torque ranges when
applied to a motor. A parameter setting is available for channel A and B direction—A before B or B
before A.
