3. Making connections
3-3-2. Displacement sensor (pulse)
Connect a differential square wave output type displacement
sensor.
This unit internally converts differential output signals from
sensors (RS422 level) to TTL level.
o The +5V power supply of pin 17 can be used as a power
supply of up to 150 mA (maximum) for a displacement
sensor (pulse).
ATTENTION
Prepare a separate power supply if the displacement sensor
cannot use a +5V power supply or requires more than 150 mA.

3-3-3. Displacement sensor (pulse)
counting method
The WP-120A has modes that support A phase only and AB
phase (2-phase) output signals from displacement sensors
(pulse).
The count value changes as shown below for A phase only and
AB phase output.
