For TTL encoders at X520 → remote sense → 100 m
Because the physical transmission media is more robust, the bipolar connection should always be
used. The unipolar connection should only be used if the encoder type does not output push-pull
signals.

Encoders with 5 V supply without remote sense connected at X521/X531
For encoders with a 5 V supply at X521/X531, the encoder current drawn depends on the
cable length (for 0.5 mm
