Encoder

[glavanov]

Hello to all,

I have fx5-40ssc-s simple motion module with connected differential output type encoder for synchronous control.

Now i need to add second simple motion module to control more servos.

My question is, is it possible to connect the same encoder to second motion module in parallel since it's line driver output.

Max current for encoder outputs is 20mA, -20mA

I can't find any info for the internal resistance of motion module inputs, and since it's not a photocoupler inputs, i'm not sure is it gonna red out true value with multi meter if i measure the resistance between A and -A to determine the current consumption.

My local support is not reachable at the moment, and i am afraid to try. The  fault will be on me...

Anyone with that kind of experience?
