3.6 Cable Length for Manual Pulse Generator
Like a pulse coder, the manual generator operates on +5V DC. The supply voltage drop due to the
cable resistance must be held below 0.2V (when those of the 0Volt and 5Volt wires are combined),
as expressed in the following expression:

Therefore, the cable length can be determined using the following expression.

In case of the A66L-0001-0286 cable, for example, when three pairs of signal wires and six power
supply wires (20/0.18, 0.0394O/m) are used (three power supply wires connected to +5V and the
other three to 0V), the cable length is:
L m≤ =

However, the maximum pulse transmission distance for the manual pulse generator is 50m.
Taking this into consideration, the cable length may be extended to:
38.37m (when two generators are used), or
25.58m (when three generators are used).
0.1 : MPG power supply current (0.1A)
R : resistance per unit cable length(O/m)
m : number of 0V and 5V wires
L : cable length(m)
