5.2.9 Encoder/motor feedback connection units
Overview
T
he encoder/motor feedback connection units available as accessories facilitate the
connection of encoders to the encoder interface of the FX3-MOCx modules. This is
especially true for encoders that are used both for an FX3 MOCx and as motor feedback
of a drive system.
There are additional terminals on all encoder/motor feedback connection boxes. These
are designed for forwarding signals which are not required for the FX3-MOCx module
but can still be transmitted in the encoder cable (brake actuation, temperature sensor,
etc.).
Prerequisites
•
Mount encoder/mo
tor feedback connection units in an environment that complies
with enclosure rating IP54 (EN 60529), e.g. in a control cabinet with enclosure
rating IP54.
