Belt Encoder Interface on SmartController CX
For use with conveyor tracking, the SmartController CX supports two independent
external belt encoders through a 15-pin, male, D-sub connector. The pin assignments for
the Belt Encoder connector are shown in
input circuit drawing.
Adept strongly recommends using differential encoder outputs for maximum noise
immunity. See the
programming a conveyor tracking application.
NOTE: Conveyor tracking requires a V
obtained from Adept.
