Encoder

Master 810 and 2410 support the following types of encoder signals: Single-Ended (5 to 12 VDC, 12 to 24 VDC) and Differential (5 to 12 VDC, 12 to 24 VDC).

For 5 to 12 VDC operation, pins 2 and 3 of each channel are used.

The 5-volt encoder input supports up to 12 volts for compatibility with earlier Master network controllers. However, we strongly recommend connecting 12-volt output encoders to the appropriate 12-volt input to attain maximum tolerance.

For 12 to 24 VDC operation, pins 1 and 3 of each channel are used.

Although Master 810 and 2410 are currently labeled as only supporting up to 12 VDC, they can support up to 24 VDC.

To determine how to wire a Master to an encoder, see the illustrations below.
