Connecting the Encoder

The Encoder module uses a widely available 8-pin RJ45 connector identical to those found on all Ethernet devices. The connector provides 5V power to the encoders and has inputs for the two quadrature signals from each encoder. Using multi-level signaling, it is also pos- sible to share the quadrature inputs with limit switches. The figure and table below describe the connector and its pin assignment.
