6-2. Connection Specifications
6-2-1. A/B Signal Output Type
The line driver used by Magnescale Co., Ltd. is compliant with EIA-422.
Also, based on the EIA-422 standards, the common mode voltage between the line driver and line receiver
±
is stipulated as
12 V.
(Using the scale when the common mode voltage of
To prevent problems between the control devices connected to this Magnescale Co., Ltd. product, it is
recommended that you connect (shared connection) the signal ground (power supply ground) and set the
load resistance to 120 Ω. Twisted pair cables (1 turn/1 inch min.) with a core thickness of at least AWG28 are
recommended for the differential signal cables.
(It is even better if the characteristic differential impedance is the same as the load resistance value.)
