Note: 1. An inrush current of approx. 9 A flows for approx. 0.3 ms right after the E6C2-C is turned on. 2. The line driver output of the E6C2-C is used for data transmission circuitry conforming to RS-422A and ensures long-distance transmission over twisted-pair cable, with quality equivalent to AM26LS31. 3. The maximum electrical response revolution is determined by the resolution and maximum response frequency as follows: Maximum electrical response frequency (rpm) = maximum response frequency/resolution x 60 This means that the E6C2-C Rotary Encoder will not operate electrically if its revolution exceeds the maximum electrical response revolution.

Displacement tolerance in the shaft direction

0.05 mm max. (0.002)

When the E6C2-C Rotary Encoder is used in reversed

operation, pay utmost attention to the mounting direction of the E6C2-C Rotary Encoder and the directions of increment and decrement rotation.

When connecting or disconnecting the coupling, do not impose an excessive bending, pressing, or pulling force on the E6C2-C. When connecting the shaft of the Rotary Encoder with a chain timing belt or gear, connect the chain timing belt or gear with the shaft via the bearing and coupling as shown in the following illustration.
Chain sprocket Bearing Coupling E6C2-C

To match phase Z of the E6C2-C Rotary Encoder and the

origin of the device to be connected to the E6C2-C Rotary Encoder, the phase Z outputs must conform while connecting the device.

Be careful not to impose an excessive load on the shaft if the

shaft connects to a gear.

If the Rotary Encoder is mounted with screws, the tightening

torque must be approximately 5 kgf

cable with more than a force of 3 kgf (29.4 N) 6.61 lbf.

1. Insert the shaft into the coupling. Do not secure the coupling and shaft with screws at this stage. 2. Secure the Rotary Encoder. Refer to the following table for the maximum insertion length of the shaft into the coupling. Part number E69-C06B E69-C06M 3. Secure the coupling.

E6C2-C
The rise time varies with the resistance of the cable and the
type and length of the cable.

The residual output voltage will increase according to the

length of the cable.

4. Connect the power and I/O lines. Be sure to turn off the Rotary Encoder when connecting the lines. 5. Turn on the Rotary Encoder and check the output.

Conditions
Rotary Encoder: E6C2-CWZ6C Load voltage: 5 VDC Load resistance: 1 k (The residual output voltages were measured with a load current of 35 mA.) Cable: Dedicated cable

CONNECTING

When extending the cable, select the type carefully. You must
consider the response frequency because the longer the cable is, the more the residual voltage increases due to the resistance of the cable and the capacitance between the wires. As a result, the waveform will be distorted.

We recommend the line driver output type model if the cable

needs to be extended.

PREVENTING MISCOUNTING

If the operation of the E6C2-C Rotary Encoder is stopped near

a signal rising or falling edge, a wrong pulse may be generated, causing the E6C2-C Rotary Encoder to miscount. In this case, use an increment-decrement counter to prevent miscounting.

In order to reduce inductive noise, the cable must be as short

as possible, especially when the signal is input to an IC.

Insert a surge absorber between the power supply terminals if

a possibility of surge exists.

A wrong pulse may be generated when the E6C2-C Rotary

Encoder is turned on or off. Do not use the connected device for 0.1 s after the E6C2-C Rotary Encoder is turned on and for 0.1 s before the E6C2-C Rotary Encoder is turned off.

EXTENSION OF LINE DRIVER OUTPUT

Be sure to use a twisted-pair cable to extend a line driver
cable. Use an RS-422A receiver for the receiver side.

Cable Extension

The twisted-pair wires as shown in the following illustration are

suitable for RS-422A signal transmission. Normal mode noise can be eliminated by twisting the wires because the generated electrical forces on the lines cancel each other. E E Twisted-pair wires E E

The rise time of each output waveform will increase when the
cable is extended. This affects the phase difference characteristics of phases A and B.

The available length of cable varies with the response

frequency and noise. It is safer to limit the length of cable to 10 m maximum. If a longer cable of up to 100 m is required, use line driver output. Note: Recommended cable: Cross section: 0.2 mm2 with spiral shield Conductor resistance: 92 /km max. at 20C Insulation resistance: 5 M/km min. at 20C

Be sure the E6C2-C Rotary Encoder is supplied with 5 VDC

when a line driver output is used. There will be approximately a 1-V voltage drop if the cable length is 100 m.
