8.8.4 Cable type and configuration [X10]
We recommend using encoder connecting cables in which the incremental encoder signals are twisted in pairs and the
individual pairs are shielded.
8.8.5 Connection notes [X10]
Input [X10] can be used to process incremental encoder signals and pulse direction signals like the ones generated by the
control boards for stepper motors.
The input amplifier at the signal input is designed to process differential signals in accordance with the RS422 interface
standard. Processing of other signals and levels (e.g. 5 V single-ended or 24 V
HTL
of a PLC) may also be possible. Please
contact your sales partner.
