For encoder signal reception, an analog differential line receiver with an hysteresis comparator is used.
The high signals (ENC_A+, ENC_B+ and ENC_Z+) are pulled up to +5 V, and the low signals (ENC_A-, ENC_B-
and ENC_Z-) are biased to 2.5 V. This arrangement let user to connect either open collector and totem pole
single-ended output encoders, or differential output encoders.
The encoder interface accepts an RS-422 differential quadrature line driver signal in the range of 0 V to 5 V
up to 10 MHz. When single ended encoder is connected, only high signals (ENC_A+, ENC_B+ and ENC_Z+)
must be used.
Next figures illustrate how to connect a differential and a single ended encoder to the Pluto Servo Drive.
