3.9 Belt Encoder Interface on SmartController CX

For use with conveyor tracking, the SmartController CX supports two independent

external belt encoders through a 15-pin, male, D-sub connector. The pin assignments for

the Belt Encoder connector are shown in Table 3-13. See Figure 3-9 on page 66 for a typical

input circuit drawing.

Adept strongly recommends using differential encoder outputs for maximum noise

immunity. See the V+ Language User’s Guide for more information on setting up and

programming a conveyor tracking application.

NOTE: Conveyor tracking requires a V

Extensions License, which can be

obtained from Adept.
