Connecting the encoders
POSITIP can be used with HEIDENHAIN linear encoders that pro-
vide sinusoidal output signals. The encoder inputs on the rear panel
are designated X1, X2, X3 and X4.
The connecting cable length may not exceed 30 m (100 ft).
Danger to internal components!
Do not engage or disengage any connections while
the unit is under power.
