3.1.1.2 Absolute analog encoder (EnDat 2.1)
The EnDat 2.1 is an absolute encoder. It has 1 Vptp signals with a load resistor R
0
=120Ω. Its signals are similar
to the incremental encoders (without the index), but it additionally includes a RS485 serial link (EIA standard,
EnDat 2.1 interface) for the absolute position measure: EDT (serial data) and ECL (clock). The ECL (clock)
signal is received from the DSC2P. From its first falling edge (latch signal), the absolute position will be
defined within one incremental signal period (depends on the encoder type).
The +5VDC encoder supply output is protected by the fuse F3 (1A) on JC5, JC6 and JC10.
Remark: The cable used with an absolute analog encoder (EnDat 2.1) must have power wires with a
minimum diameter to guarantee a sufficient voltage at the terminals of the encoder (refer to the
data sheet of the encoder for more information).
