  • Page 5: About This Manual

    Applicable Units This manual is applicable to all DC60 multi-turn encoders with analog outputs. All of these units offer sixteen bit position resolution and can be ordered to encode from 1 to 1,024 turns. Outputs include multiple voltage and current options.

     If you need to install and use the DC60, then the rest of the manual is written for you. To simplify installation and configuration, the rest of the manual is broken down into tasks. Using the DC60 requires you to complete two tasks, and the manual is broken down into sections that explain how to complete each one.

    An industry standard M12, 8 pin, A-coded, male connector is used as the power and I/O connector. Both end (axial) and side (radial) connector placement options are available. The body material of the DC60 units is aluminum with a powder coat finish. Outline drawings of all of the packing options are available in the...
  • Page 8: Connector Location And Pinout

    M12 Connector An eight pin, A-coded, male M12 connector is used on these DC60 units. It is located on the back or side of the unit. This connector is the Turck eurofast FS 8 or equivalent. The pinout for the connector is shown below.

    IP67 rated when properly installed. Table 2 Available Cordsets Status LED Each DC60 has a Status LED on its rear cover. Figure 4 shows an end connect Rear View unit. The LED is in the same location on side connect units. This LED indi- cates whether or not output is driving a load (cable break detection) and gives a rough indication of the value of the analog output when it is driving a load.

    DC60 S Analog DC60 User Manual PECIFICATIONS Output Load Calculations Voltage Output DuraCoder A voltage output DuraCoder can drive an output load of 2 k or greater. If the output load is greater that 10 k, consider installing a 10 k resistor in parallel with the input terminals for greater noise immunity.

    1.1.3 Shaft Loading A flexible coupler should be used when connecting a DC60 to a drive shaft, because any mismatch in shaft alignment will result in large radial or axial loading on the shaft of the encoder. Limit shaft loading to the fol- lowing values.

  • Page 17: Wire Power And I/O

    2.1 Wiring Guidelines The DC60 requires a power supply of 10 to 30 Vdc, (12 to 24 Vdc nominally). Power requirement is 1.0 watts maximum, with 30 mA @ 24Vdc typical. This power draw does not include the current through the analog output.
