Intelligent Motion Systems MDrive34Plus Appendix D, Interfacing an Encoder, Differential Encoder

APPENDIX D

Interfacing an Encoder

Factory Mounted Internal Encoder

The MDrivePlus Microstepping are available with a factory-mounted internal optical encoder. See Table E.1 for available line counts. Encoders are available in both single-end and differential configurations. All encoders have an index mark.

Use of the encoder feedback feature of this product requires a controller such as an IMS MicroLYNX or PLC.

The encoder has a 100 kHz maximum output frequency.
