Encoder characteristics
Encoders that can be connected directly (or EXEs) must fulfill the following condi-
tions:
Incremental encoders
Transmission procedure: Differential transmission using 5 V rectangular signals
(such as the Standard RS422 )
Output signals: Track A as non-inverted and inverted signal
(U
a1
, U

)
Track B as non-inverted and inverted signal
(U
a2
, U

)
Zero signal Z as non-inverted and inverted signal
(U
a0
, U

)
Max. output frequency: 1 MHz
Phase shift
of tracks A to B: 90° "30°
Power consumption: Max. 300 mA
