cable length
Incremental (TTL) 5 V 1 MHz 10 m
500 kHz 35 m
24 V 500 kHz 150 m
Absolute (SSI) 24 V 1.5 Mbits/s 10 m
187.5 Kbits/s 250 m
Note
If cable lengths longer than 25 m or 35 m are needed for incremental encoders, encoder
types with a 24 VDC supply voltage can be used instead.
CAUTION
To ensure error-free transmission of encoder data, do not exceed the maximum cable
lengths shown in these tables.
Encoder supply voltages
The encoder supply voltages must comply with the following specification:
