4.1.1 Encoder ConnectionThe purpose of this guideline is to ease the set-up ofencoder connection to the frequency converter. Beforesetting up the encoder the basic settings for a closed loopspeed control system will be shown.Encoder Connection to the frequency converter130BD366.12+24 V DCABGND12 18 322719 29 33 20Illustration 4.2 24 V or 10-30 V EncoderBABA130BA646.10CWCCWIllustration 4.3 24 V Incremental Encoder.
