Installing the X5OPT01 115 VAC /
Encoder Interface Option Board
Introduction
The X5OPT01 provides the option of controlling X5 AC drives from 115 VAC control signals, or to connect a shaftmounted encoder to the drive to improve speed regulation. A maximum of five channels of 115 VAC control is
available for use in selecting direction, preset speeds, or other drive functions.
With this option, an encoder with a nominal rating of up to 2048 pulses per revolution can be connected to the X5
unit to improve speed load regulation of the drive. Overall encoder frequency at maximum process speed must be
limited to 100kHz.
This option also provides two additional control relays, each rated for 115 VAC, 1 amp, or for 230 VAC, 0.5 amp.
