Wiring the encoder
Use a shielded cable containing 3 twisted pairs with a pitch of between 25 and 50 mm (0.98 in. and 1.97 in.). Connect the shielding to ground
at both ends.
The minimum cross-section of the conductors must comply with the data in the tables below, in order to limit line voltage drop:
