Section 10  Connection of Conveyor Synchronization Signal Cable (CONV) 
(Option) 
  The TSL3000E/TSL3100E has optional encoder input points for two-channel 
conveyor synchronization. 
Use encoders provided with A- and B-phase signals having 90° phase and the 
output circuit having RS-422 differential output (line driver).    To connect the 
encoder signal cables, use the connectors [PCR-E20FS+ (connector), PCR-V20LB 
(hood)] supplied with the robot controller. 
It is requested that shielded twisted-pair cables be used as the conveyor 
synchronization signal cables and that they be connected in pairs as shown below.   
Note that a wrong connection method degrades the noise resistance, causing a 
robot controller malfunction.   
See the instruction manual "CONVEYOR SYNCHRONIZATION FUNCTION" for 
further information.
