Connecting the Encoder
4- Slide the cover back on. Install the new face plate
5- Power on the controller and install version 1.6 or newer of the controller firmware and PC
utility. Update the encoder firmware if a new version exists.
Connecting the Encoder
The Encoder module uses a widely available 8-pin RJ45 connector identical to these 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
describes the connector and its pin assignment.
