7 Hardware
Features
•
One 5V RS-422 Quadrature input
• One high-speed registration input for registration or homing
Uses
•
Encoder Reference Input
Reference inputs are often used as gearing or camming masters. Reference inputs
cannot be used for direct control of the input axis.
• Input for a Control Axis
The Q1 input can be used for the input of a control axis. The Control Output must be
from an axis module.
Specifications
Quadrature Interface
Inputs
5V differential (RS422) receiver, Quadrature A, B
Input Impedance
16 kΩ unterminated
249 Ω terminated (selectable by jumpers)
Max. Encoder Frequency
8,000,000 quadrature counts/second
Common Mode Input Range
-10 V to +13.2 V
Absolute Max Voltage

LEDs
Quad LED
This LED represents the input and control status for the axis. This bi-color (red/green)
LED has the following states:
State
Description
Steady
Off
No power or this input is not assigned to an axis.
Steady
Green
The axis is either in closed loop control or is a reference axis. The axis is
not halted.
Flashing
Green
The input is in open loop and the axis is not halted (not possible for
reference axes).
Flashing
A Closed Loop Halt or External Halt has occurred because an error bit is set
