Precautions for Correct Use
To satisfy the specifications for counter input, the type of output drive from the encoder that you
use, the encoder cable length, and the count pulse frequency must all be taken into consider-
ation.
The following table shows the pulse input specifications for the Units with line receiver inputs
(NX-EC0132 and NX-EC0142).
