Introducing the Absolute Encoder Module
This chapter describes:
example applications of the absolute encoder module
functions of the module
Allen-Bradley processors compatible with the absolute encoder module
encoders you can use with the module
module specifications
The absolute encoder module is usually used for:
absolute-position feedback
high-speed response to position based on encoder values
immunity to loss of position from power loss or power interruptions
The Absolute Encoder Module (cat. no. 1771-DE) is an intelligent module
that provides high-speed response to machine position independently of
the programmable controller scan. It can:
monitor the position of an absolute encoder that has up to 12 bits
control up to eight high-current outputs based on comparisons between
encoder position and your preset values
provide throughput for all eight outputs in less than 200 us
communicate with the programmable controller through block transfers
return the status of outputs and the position of an absolute encoder to
the programmable controller
In addition, the module can switch 2A DC per output with no derating
when all outputs are on, allowing 16A continuous per module.

Configuring and Installing Your Module
This chapter tells you how to:
select module features by setting configuration plugs
power module input circuitry and output devices
key the module
make wiring arm connections
install the module
Electrostatic discharge can damage integrated dircuits or semiconductors
in this module if you touch backplane connector pins. It can also damage
the module when you set configuration plugs or switches inside the
module. Avoid electrostatic discharge by observing the following
precautions:
Touch a grounded object to discharge yourself before handling the
module.
Do not touch the backplane connector or connector pins.
When you configure and replace internal components, do not touch
other circuit components inside the module. If available, use a
static-safe work station.
When not in use, keep the module in its static-shield bag.
CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge can degrade performance
or damage the module. Handle as stated above.
You can choose various module features by setting configuration plugs.
The module is factory-set for use with a BCD differential output encoder.
To access the configuration plugs, lay the module on its right side and
remove the cover.
The configuration plug sockets are labeled E1 through E15 on the left
printed-circuit board and E1 on the right printed-circuit board. Locate the
configuration plugs with the board positioned as shown in Figure 3.1 and
Figure 3.2. Each plug is inserted on two pins of a three-pin connector.
You change the position of the plugs in a left-right or up-down direction.

signal mode of each encoder input channel to the encoder. Set
configuration plugs E13 and E14 (also on the left board) to match the data
format of your encoder.

encoders. This is the same as selecting “high true” or “low true” inputs
from the Gray encoder.
Configuration plug E15 is factory-set in the right position. It gives an
increased count when the encoder rotates clockwise when looking at the
shaft. If your encoder shows a decreased count, change the plug to the
left position.

your Gray

This configuration plug does not affect BCD or binary encoders.
Selecting State of Outputs Upon Loss of Input Power
Use configuration plug E1 on the right board to choose the state of the
outputs if the module loses input power. The plug is factory-set for the
outputs to turn off if input power is lost (up position). If you want the
outputs to remain in their state at loss of input power, set the plug to the
down position.
Except for downloading programs or commands and reporting status, the
module operates independent of the host processor. In the event of a
processor or I/O communications fault, the module either continues
operation or its outputs turn off, depending on how you set the last state
switch of the chassis in which you place the module.
If you set the last state switch to turn outputs off, the module’s outputs are
turned off.
If you set the last state switch to hold outputs in last state, the module
continues operating.
Plastic keying bands are shipped with each I/O chassis. These bands

backplane connector.
Each module is slotted at its rear edge. The position of the keying bands
must correspond to these slots to allow insertion of the module. Position
the keying bands on the upper backplane connector between the numbers
at the right of the connectors. Keying bands are only used to key slot 0 of
the module. Figure 3.3 illustrates the encoder module keying positions
for slot 0.

maximum of 300mA.
For the best system noise immunity, we recommend use of a separate,
linear regulated power supply for powering the input circuitry and the
encoder. You can use this supply for more than one absolute encoder
module or encoder, but do not use it for otehr 5V loads such as relays.
Make sure the power supply has enough additional current capacity for
the encoder.
We suggest you use extra shielded twisted pairs of wire in the encoder
input cable to power the encoder. If more than one extra pair of wires
remains, put them in parallel to reduce the voltage drop between the
power supply and the encoder Figure 3.4.
Do not source current, such as from a power supply, into the encoder
input terminals of the module. Doing so can damage input circuitry.

Output Power Supply
To power the eight outputs (Figure 3.5), connect at least one +5 to +24V
DC supply to terminal 1 and terminal 6 (or 7) of the right wiring arm.
You can connect another +5 to +24V DC power supply between terminals
9 and 14 (or 15) of the right wiring arm if, for example, you need two
different load supply voltages.
If you need only one supply voltage, connect a wire between terminals 1
and 9 and connect another wire between terminal 6 (or 7) and terminal 14
(or 15).

We recommend the following Belden cable or its equivalent to connect
the encoder to the module (maximum 50 feet). Use extra twisted pairs to
connect power to the encoder.

Important: Tighten wiring arm connections to 9 inch-pounds of torque.
WARNING: Do not remove the wiring-arm from an
operating module; it will cause the power-up bit status to
change unpredictably until a valid write to the module occurs.
If swing-arm power is lost, turn on the power-up bit and disable
all outputs until a valid write occurs.
Connecting a SingleĆended Output Encoder
Use Figure 3.6 to connect a single-ended output encoder. Connect the
signal line for bit 0 to terminal 1 of the left wiring arm. Connect its return
to terminal 2. Connect bit 1 signal line to terminal 3 and its return to
terminal 4. Continue in this way for all encoder channels.
If the encoder has less than 12 signal bits, jumper the unused input
terminals. For example, if you are using a 10-bit encoder, jumper
terminals 19 and 20 and terminals 17 and 18 on the right wiring arm.
