(3) Connection of manual pulse generator
Manual pulse generators are available in voltage-output/open-collector type and
differential-output type. Since these types differ in connection method, design
according to the connection method of section 2.5.4(5).
In addition the usable numbers of manual pulse generator which can be used
with the Motion controller are up to 3 modules.

(4) Connection of incremental synchronous encoder
Incremental synchronous encoders are available in voltage-output/Open-collector
type and differential-output type. Since these types differ in connection method,
design according to the connection method of section 2.5.4(5).
In addition, the usable synchronous encoder is up to 8.

• Tracking enable signal
Tracking enable signal of Q173DPX is used to start the input from incremental
synchronous encoders.
The external input signal of the incremental synchronous encoder is indicated
below.
This signal is used as the input start signal or high-speed reading function from
incremental synchronous encoder.
