Hi Tom,

How many encoders and stepper motors can I connect to Kanalog?

Regards

Hi Albert,
 
None.  Kanalog has +/-10V analog signals normally used to control analog servo drives.
 
Kanalog has 8 A/B differential encoder inputs.
 
If you need Step/Dir outputs up to 8 are available from KFLOP with Kanalog Connected with some restrictions:
 
- To use 4 Step/Dir from KFLOP JP5 it must be disconnected from Kanalog which results in the loss of 4 Kanalog differential encoder inputs.
- The 4 Step/Dir outputs from JP7 must be mux'ed to JP4 and JP6.  Two of the 4 can then not be "open collector" outputs.
 
I hope this helps.
Regards
TK
