Manual pulse generators are supplied with 5 VDC power the same as
pulse coders. The drop in voltage due to cable resistance must not exceed
0.2V (on 0V and 5V lines in total).

Example: When cable A66L–0001–0286 is used
This cable consists of three pairs of signal lines and six power wires
(20/0.18, 0.0394
Ω/m).
When these three cables are used for 0V and 5V lines, the cable length is:

Lx
=76.75[m]
The maximum distance is, however, 50 m for the transmission of a pulse
signal from the manual pulse generator. The cable length is, therefore, up
to 50 m.
The maximum cable length is 38.37 m when using the two manual pulse
generators, or 25.58 m when using the three generators.
Usually, if two or more units equipped with a manual handle interface are
connected with an I/O LINK, the manual handle interface of the first unit
connected to the I/O LINK will be automatically enabled.
The use of this function enables the manual handle interfaces of the
second and subsequent units. By setting bit 1 of parameter No. 7105, the
manual handles associated with the X addresses set in parameters Nos.
12305 to 12307 can be allocated as the first, second, and third manual
handles, respectively.
Up to three manual handles can be allocated. For the Series 0i Mate–TC,
however, up to two manual handles can be allocated.
