4 Axis Encoder Interface Card Model EIC-325/PCI.

Introduction

The 4 Axis quadrature Encoder Interface Card was designed to accommodate most of the popular optical encoders available in the market, such as Dr. HEIDENHAIM®, RENISHAW®, HP®, and others.

The board supports either square-wave or sine output encoders, both linear and rotary types.

It can be directly connected to up to 4 encoders and will also provide necessary excitation to the encoders.

The card is equipped with four differential inputs for limit or home switches / marker / encoder index, etc., and 10 more for general use. Also there are four opto-isolated outputs that may be used for set-points, carry, marker, etc., and three outputs for general use.
