B&R X20DS1828
HIPERFACE encoder interface Encoder input monitoring 11 VDC and GND for encoder supply NetTime timestamp: Position time The module is equipped with 1 HIPERFACE encoder interface. This module can be used to evaluate encoders installed in motors from other manufacturers as well as encoders for external axes (encoders that sample any machine movement). The input signals are monitored. This makes it possible to detect open or shorted lines as well as encoder supply failures.
