ATTEN TI ON : Rockwell Automation Bulletin
2090 feedback cables provide connections
for both 5…12V and 7…12V encoder power
supplies. Only one of these connections
should be used. Simultaneous connection
to different power supplies may result in
damage to the servo drive and encoders.
842HR Sine Cosine/Serial Encoders
Size 25, High Resolution Auxiliary Servo Feedback
Description
Bulletin 842HR is a 15-bit serial/sine cosine encoder. Targeted for
high performance digital servo drive systems that require
absolute feedback for position control and high resolution
incremental feedback for speed control.
Rockwell Automation’s sine cosine high performance encoders
provide commutation, speed regulation and position control all
in one device. Absolute position values of up to 15 bit combined
with incremental resolution up to 2 million counts per turn.
Features
• Absolute feedback for position control
• High resolution Incremental feedback for speed control
• Commutation
• Sine cosine differential interface
• Digital bi-directional RS-485 interface
• Compatible with Hiperface® interface
• Internal diagnostic functions
Benefits
• High performance motor or auxiliary feedback
• High accuracy and resolution
•Low bandwidth
• Maximum noise immunity
• One interface for all servo motor applications
• Standalone housing (suitable for mounting external to a servo
motor

High Performance Flexible Coupling
845–FC–B–B
Description
High performance flexible couplings are used to connect two
shafts, and help to reduce the effects of misalignment between
the shafts. Flexible couplings are offered in the high performance
version, with nonconductive inserts. They are of the flexible
curved beam helical type with clamping screw at both ends.

Approximate Dimensions [mm (in.)]
AT TE N T IO N : The shielded cables, output
devices, and power supplies must be properly
grounded. All National Electric Code and
applicable local codes and ordinances must be
observed when wiring the system.
AT TE N T IO N : Rigidly coupling the encoder
shaft to the machine shaft will cause a failure
in either the bearings of the encoder or the
bearings of the machine shaft.
