1. Introduction
PU 202 is designed for conversion of HTL impulse Signals (10-30V) to RS 422 Standard or TTL
level, including complements. Also, the unit can translate different modes of direction control
to the A/B quadrature mode (2x90°), which is required for the majority of controllers.

Some measuring systems or PLC positioning cards generate pulses on one line whilst another
line provides static information of the direction of rotation.
Other systems use two separate lines, one to transmit the forward pulses and the other to
transmit the reserves pulses.
The PU 202 converter can translate any of these formats to the usual A/B quadrature standard,
as shown in the title drawing.

2. Construction, Dimensions
The unit is designed as a PCB with a plastic frame for direct and easy DIN rail mounting.
The impulse inputs are available on a 9-pin Sub-D-connector (female). For power supply of the
unit and of encoders, two 3-way screw terminals are available.

3. Power Supply
The unit does not possess its own power supply unit. It must be supplied by an external source
with +5 volts +/-10% (approx. 50mA), which can either be connected to the 9-position output
connector or the screw terminals marked “GND” and “5V” (See schematics).
Pin 4 of the output connector is internally connected to the +5V screw terminal.

Also, Pin 4 of the input connector is on same potential as the +24V screw terminal. This
enables the user to externally supply an encoder system via the Sub- D- connector without
necessity to split the 9- wire cable.

The +24V*) screw terminal serves as encoder supply only and does not affect the operation of
the unit. The 5 V unit supply is protected against wrong polarity by a diode and a fuse.

5. Modes of Operation
The output signals are always the same, independent of the mode of operation, but the inputs
may have different functions. The mode can be selected by the 8-position DIL-switch S2. The
index pulse (Z) will only be converted to TTL-level, but not be affected by the mode setting.

This mode of operation requires that one of the two inputs is in Low state while the other
input line receives the pulses.

6. Output Signal
The quadrature output operates with a phase displacement between signals A/A’ and B/B’.
When your input signal is of quadrature type with 90° according to 5.1, your output appears
with the same displacement of 90°.
However, with inputs according to 5.2 and 5.3, the phase displacement at the output will be
constant in time, therefore will correspond to 90° only at a certain input frequency and will
become smaller with lower input frequencies.

This in general, this is not a restriction for proper detection of the direction, because most of
the controllers can clearly interpret this information, even when the phase is barely visible on
an oscilloscope.

DIL switch S1 permits selection of 5 different times. The frequency is shown in brackets at
which the phase displacement corresponds to 90°.
