4.1.1 Incremental encoder feedback

The incremental encoder connections (ABZ channels and Hall signals) are made using the 15-pin D-type female connector X8. The encoder inputs (CHA, CHB and CHZ) accept differential signals only. Twisted pairs must be used for each complementary signal pair e.g. CHA+ and CHA-. The Hall inputs may be used as differential inputs (recommended for improved noise immunity) or single ended inputs. When used as single ended inputs, leave the Hall U-, Hall V- and Hall W- pins unconnected. The overall cable shield (screen) must be connected to the metallic shell of the D-type connector. Connector X8 includes a ‘Sense’ pin, which is used to detect the voltage drop on long cable runs. This allows the MicroFlex e100 to increase the encoder supply voltage on pin 12 to maintain a 5V supply at the encoder (200mA max).
