Interface Electronics & Accessories

The interface electronics from HEIDENHAIN adapt the encoder signals to the interface of the subsequent electronics. They are used when the subsequent electronics cannot directly process the output signals from HEIDENHAIN encoders, or if additional interpolation of the signals is necessary.

Input signals of the interface electronics
Interface electronics from HEIDENHAIN can be connected to incremental encoders with sinusoidal signals of 1 VPP (voltage signals) or 11 µAPP (current signals). The IK 220 PC expansion board can also process EnDat and SSI.

Output signals of the interface electronics
Interface electronics with the following interfaces to the subsequent electronics are available:

TTL square-wave pulse trains

EnDat 2.2

Fanuc Serial Interface

Mitsubishi High Speed Serial Interface
