Features
Saving all analog components on the controller part due to exclusively digital data transmission
Enormous cost saving as the separate encoder cable is longer necessary, data transmitted synchronously to the controller cycle
Minimal cabling thanks to integration of the encoder communication into the motor cable
Optimization of the controller circuit via automated synchronization with the controller cycle
