Smartslice GRT1-CP1-L - supply question

[pszczepan 2]

Hi ! I want to connect encoder with line driver - 5VDC I have dip switches in my card in OFF position, but still I have 24VDC between V and G on card. It will burn my encoder. Do I need external supply for encoder - strange it should be 5VDC thanks Pawel

Hi Pawel, (Without looking up any manuals) We have used line driver encoders with 5V-RS422 output, which have 4.75-30V input. This type of encoder would be fine with 24V supply. There are many encoders on the market, do you have an existing encoder or are you free to select a new one? Nibroc

I have Omron Encoder - E6B2-CWZ1X - it is only for 5VDC Hmm

... You will have to use an external 5V power supply for the E6B2-CWZ1X Encoder(s) - this will work fine. (Note that the Inputs and Outputs will remain at 24V) Nibroc.
