12.1.4 Output Signals
HTL
HTL square-wave signals
The design of encoders with HTL square-wave signals is similar that of encoders with TTL square-wave
signals. Output signals are HTL square-wave pulse trains Ua1 and Ua2 together with the reference pulse
Ua0 that is gated with the incremental signals Ua1 and Ua2.
To each square-wave pulse train the integral electronics in addition outputs the corresponding inverted
signal (not with ERN 1030). The outputs of encoder with HTL square-wave signals are short-circuit proof at
room temperature.
Incremental signals: HTL square-wave pulse trains Ua1 and Ua2 and their inverted
pulse trains
Ua1 and Ua2 (ERN 1030: no inverted pulse trains).
Ua2 lags Ua1 with ccw rotation (view on shaft or encoder flange).
Edge separation a ≥ 0.45 µs at 300 kHz scanning frequency
a ≥ 0.8 µs at 160 kHz scanning frequency
The scanning frequency depends on the encoder model and can be seen from the specifications.
