Length of limit actuator
Alarm
Line driven (Asynchronous pulse)
(Not available with 'A' cable termination)
E−
Alarm asserted when:
– Signal amplitude < 20% or > 135%
– Readhead speed too high for reliable operation
> 15 ms
or 3-state alarm
Differentially transmitted signals forced open circuit for > 15 ms when alarm conditions valid.
*
Inverse signals not shown for clarity.
