Reduction in the permissible total current drain when additional encoders are connected 
When additional encoders are connected, the permissible total current drain (0.9 A) of the 
DRIVE-CLiQ interfaces is reduced. 
●  Connecting SSI encoders (24 V) 
The HLA module provides 900 mA to connect encoders. This current must be distributed 
across the connected encoders.  
–  Example 
A 24 V SSI encoder has a current drain of 150 mA; this means that 750 mA still 
remains available for DRIVE-CLiQ encoders. 
●  Connecting TTL encoders (5 V encoder power supply with remote sense) 
The permissible total current drain of DRIVE-CLiQ interfaces is reduced by 0.5 x current 
drain of the connected encoder. 
– 
 
An additional TTL encoder at axis 2 with 200 mA current drain reduces the permissible 
total current drain for all DRIVE-CLiQ interfaces by 100 mA from 0.9 A down to 0.8 A.
