9.2.2
Connections to Linear Encoder from Renishaw plc
Connections for a 1 Vp-p Analog Voltage Output Signal
You must make the connections through a Yaskawa Serial Converter Unit. The output signal
will be multiplied by 8 bits (256 divisions) or 12 bits (4,096 divisions) in the Serial Converter
Unit.
Connecting to a Linear Servomotor with a Polarity Sensor
*1. Only SGLFW2 Servomotors come equipped with Thermal Protector Relay Connectors.
*2. When using a JZDP-J00- Serial Converter Unit, do not use a Yaskawa Linear Encoder Cable that is longer than
3 m.
*3. If you use the origin signals with a Linear Encoder from Renishaw plc, the origin may sometimes be falsely
detected.
If that occurs, use the BID/DIR signal to output the origin signal only in one direction.
*4. Contact Renishaw plc for details on cables (analog 1 Vp-p output, D-sub 15-pin, male) from Renishaw plc.
However, the BID and DIR signals are not connected.
