3.9 Belt Encoder Interface on SmartController CX
For use with conveyor tracking, the SmartController CX supports two independent
external belt encoders through a 15-pin, male, D-sub connector. The pin assignments for
the Belt Encoder connector are shown in Table 3-13. See Figure 3-9 on page 66 for a typical
input circuit drawing.
Adept strongly recommends using differential encoder outputs for maximum noise
immunity. See the V+ Language User’s Guide for more information on setting up and
programming a conveyor tracking application.
NOTE: Conveyor tracking requires a V
+
Extensions License, which can be
obtained from Adept.
