Did you know that one of the most common causes of encoder failure is the electronic damage due to wiring issues? Following good wiring practices can help avoid common mistakes and lead to a system that functions as expected.
Good Practices:
- Follow the encoder wiring pinout/diagram
- Avoid connecting/disconnecting while the machine is powered on
- Reduce electrical noise with shielded cables and proper grounding
- Keep high-power/voltage and encoder cables routed separately
- Control applications using differential signals reduce the EMC effects
- Use pre-wired solutions for easier installation
By following these steps, you can significantly improve your system’s reliability!
