  • Page 5: Compatibility Hint

    1. Compatibility Hint This product is a successor model of the thousandfold approved converter type ZU251. The new product is suitable for a 100% replacement of the previous model, however some differences must be observed with DIL switch settings and parameter settings. Some essential advantages of ZU252 compared to ZU251 are: ...

  • Page 6: Introduction

    2. Introduction ZU 252 represents a small and low-cost, but highly performing converter for industrial applications, where incremental counting of positions or events must be converted to either analogue format or serial data. The unit has been designed as a compact module with 12 screw terminals and a 9-position SUB-D connector (female).

    3. Applicable Encoders and Sensors The converter can accept the following impulse sources: The ZU252 converter can accept the following impulse sources:  Quadrature encoders with HTL level output (10 – 30 V) and either PNP or NPN or Push- Pull or NAMUR characteristics, using A and B outputs wit 90°...

    If applicable, the encoder can be supplied from the ZU252 converter. Where the encoder is already supplied from a remote source, we recommend fully differential operation, with no GND connection between encoder and converter (see figures a. and b.)
