Best practice
• Differential signals offer good resistance against electrical interference. Therefore we recommend
using a differential scheme. Nevertheless, the controller supports both schemes – differential and sin-
gle-ended (unsymmetrical).
• The controller does not require an index impulse (Ch I, Ch I\).
• For best performance, we strongly recommend using encoders with a line driver. Otherwise, speed
limitations may apply due to slow switching edges.
