Description

SY057 provides a convenient way of splitting a master encoder signal across multiple drives
or motion controllers. Its compact design and technical features makes it a perfect solution
for sending material encoder solutions to more than one device.

The encoder input is switch selectable for operation with either standard RS485/RS422 with
differential TTL or HTL signals, Differential voltage or single ended pulse.

Special features

 SY057 Expands the output from one shaft encoder to 4,8,12 or 16 individually

isolated encoder signals.

 SY057 doesn’t require direct electrical connection between the input and any of the

output encoder groups.

 Every encoder group of signals can operate on a separate power supply
 SY057 reduces the noise in the output signal due to the absence of long cable runs.
 Plug in Screw terminal wiring
 Piano style DIL configuration switches
