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.
