(3)Cable Length Design
Design the length of cables as the sums of voltage drop by K1 and K2 becomes 0.2V or
less.
Note that voltage drop of K1 is caused by the total current consumption of High
Resolution Serial Output Circuit and the encoder.
Example of calculation
Case that HEIDENHAIN LS486 is used and 10m length cable is used for K1.
Max. Current of HEIDENHAIN LS486 is = 150mA
Voltage drop by K1 : Vd
5V,0V
Vd = ( 0.28A+0.15A )
38.7 /km ¸ (10m2)¸1000m}
Total current(max.) 0.5mm

(number of wire)
= 0.111 V
Maximum length of K2 : L2
L2 = ( 0.2V - 0.111V )¸ 0.15A ¸ ( 38.7
/km ¸1000 )
(note)
= 7.7 m
(Note)The standard LS486 head cable has two wires of 0.25mm

for 5V and 0V respectively.
