Carefully note the following when creating a cable for conveyor tracking applications.
CAUTION
24 VDC for operation of conveyor tracking option kit B is supplied through the PULSE IN connector. Use carefully as explained below.
- Do not connect anything other than a conveyor tracking cable to the PULSE IN connector. Otherwise, connected equipment and Controllers may get damaged.
- Do not use 24 VDC even if the customer prepares conveyor tracking cable. Our guarantee does not cover damage to connected equipment or Controllers used in this way.
- Commercially available D-SUB 15-pin cables cannot be used due to different pin assignments and wiring. When preparing cables yourself, follow the table, ensuring that the pin assignments and wiring are correct.

- Our conveyor system does not require Z-phase wiring. Insulate to prevent contact with panel, etc.
- Pins 1 to 4: Connect to encoder output +A, -A, +B, and -B.
- Pins 5 to 6: When latching conveyor pulse by external signal, connect to latch signal. Exactly when the signal is turned OFF to ON, the encoder pulse is latched.
- Pins 7 to 8: 5 V power supply and GND for encoders. Connect GND to 7 and power supply terminal to 8.
- Wiring shield screw: Secure the wiring shield with the shield fastening screw (b) on top of the connector.
