4.1 Introduction

MicroFlex e100 supports many feedback options for use with linear and rotary motors, including incremental encoder, encoder with SSI (Synchronous Serial Interface), SinCos encoder, or EnDat absolute encoder. All suitable types of feedback device can be connected to the universal feedback interface available on connector X8.

There are some important considerations when wiring the feedback device:

HThe feedback device wiring must be separated from power wiring.

HWhere feedback device wiring runs parallel to power cables, they must be separated by at least 76mm (3 in)

HFeedback device wiring must cross power wires at right angles only.

HTo prevent contact with other conductors or earths/grounds, unearthed/ungrounded ends of shields must often be insulated.

HLinear motors use two separate cables (encoder and Hall). The cores of these two cables will need to be wired to the appropriate pins of the 15-pin D-type mating connector.

HThe inputs are not isolated.
