Best practice
• Because of its resistance against electrical interferences, we recommend using differential
scheme. Nevertheless, the controller supports both schemes – differential and single-ended.
• The controller does not require an index impulse (Ch I, Ch I\).
• For best performance, we strongly recommend using encoders with line driver. Otherwise,
speed limitations may apply due to slow switching edges.
