GmbH encoders.
Correct use also means using a suitable adapter cable or the correct connection to the
spring terminal block. The connection diagrams in the appendix of these instructions
must be observed in this case (see page 27). You must also pay attention to the data
sheets of the encoders used.
The USB interface of the PGT-08-S hardware is designed solely for direct connection to
a computer. USB hubs or extensions should not be used.
The programmable encoders must be connected directly to an adapter cable or the
spring terminal block. An extension cable must not be connected in between.
The SOPAS software is designed for use on a Windows
®
PC. Other operating systems or
virtual machines are not supported.
1.7.2 Foreseeable misuse
If the pin assignment on the spring terminal block is not observed or an incorrect
adapter cable is used, the connected encoder will be damaged.
Disconnecting the connection to the encoder prematurely can cause data loss and
damage to the encoder.
Connecting the programming tool to USB hubs, USB extensions, or other long signal
lines may also cause data loss and damage to the encoder.
