„Wiring Precautions
Consider the following precautions for wiring.
• Shielded twisted-pair wires must be used for signal lines. Use cables which are recommended by the
encoder manufacturer only.
• For the cable connection to the encoder connectors which are recommended by the encoder manufacturer
should be used.
• Ferrules should be used (refer to Table 2.8).
• The signal lines of the PG Speed Control Card should be separated from main power lines and other con-
trol circuits.
• The shield must be connected (green grounding cable of the option card) to the ground terminal to prevent
operational errors caused by noise.
• The wire ends should not be soldered. Doing so may cause contact faults.
• The PG cards power supply must not be used for anything other than the pulse generator (encoder). Using
it for another purpose can cause malfunctions due to noise.
• A separate power supply is required if the PG power supply consumption is higher than 200 mA. (If
momentary power loss must be handled, use a backup capacitor or other method.)
• The PG cards maximum input frequency must not be exceeded. The output frequency of the pulse genera-
tor can be calculated using the following formula.
