External Encoder Specifications
Standard voltage levels are TTL (0V to 5V), however, voltage levels up to 12V are acceptable. If using differential
12V signals, no modification is required. Single ended 12V signals require a bias voltage applied to the compli-
mentary input, i.e.; use two 10k resistors, one connected to +12V and the other connected to the LEGEND signal
ground to hold the /A phase and /B phase at 6VDC. Do not use a 24VDC encoder.
