5V Encoder Adapter

1 RJ45 connector

2 Encoder cable

3 D-Sub 9-pin female connector

4 D-Sub 9-pin male connector at the encoder cable (user wired)

Features

The 5V Encoder Adapter consists of an encoder cable (2) with an RJ45 connector (1) on one side that is connected to a Lexium 62 servo drive, and a D-Sub 9-pin female connector (3) on the other side.

A DC/DC converter is assembled in the D-Sub 9-pin female connector (3). It converts the encoder power supply that is coming from the drive from 10 V to 5 V, making it possible to connect 5 V encoders which are not directly supported by the Lexium 62 servo drive. The 5 V and the 10 V encoder supply voltage is available on the D-Sub 9-pin female connector (3). The other signals, such as encoder- and RS485 signals are transferred directly from the drive to the encoder.

NOTICE
CURRENT TOO HIGH AT THE ENCODER CONNECTOR OF THE LEXIUM 62 SERVO DRIVE BY USING BOTH 5 V AND 10 V VOLTAGE SUPPLY
  • Use exclusively one voltage supply for the encoder, either 5 V or 10 V.
  • In the case of using 5 V encoders, ensure that the maximum power consumption of the encoder does not exceed 250 mA.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.
