Information regarding operation with an inverter from the MOVI-C^® modular automation system

The EI7C, EI8C, EK8C, EV8C and EK8X HTL encoders can be operated without an additional encoder card on the binary terminals of the MOVITRAC^® advanced inverter.

For this purpose, the encoder is supplied externally with 24 V and the signal tracks A, B, and C, as well as an optional temperature sensor, are connected to the terminals of the basic device and evaluated.

The C track is omitted for the EI7C encoder.

The C track is omitted for the EK8X encoder for all adjustable increments/revolutions, except for 1024 increments/revolutions.

The EI7C HTL encoder can only be used for positioning, not for speed and torque control.

For more information, refer to chapter Technical data and the operating instructions for the inverter used.
