About the 8903/EP
The 8903/EP is an Encoder Option that provides an incremental encoder input and an incremental encoder output. This option is for the AC890 series from Parker and SSD Drives. The 8903/EP is very similar to the 8903/AI, but the EP does not have the additional analogue input.
The 8903/EP has important features to highlight. These include:
- Incremental encoder input with optically isolated differential inputs on channel A, B, and Z
- Input channels compatible with RS422/RS485 encoders
- Input channels compatible with encoders that provide output voltages as high as +/- 30V
- Three non-isolated differential digital outputs used for synthesizing an encoder output
The 8903/EP is also compatible with Version 2.5 onward and Version 3.5 onward 890 firmware, which provides more flexibility. The option can be used in both Standalone Drives and Common Bus Drives.
