Encoder cable

Header P16 provides 5V power to encoders and has isolated inputs corresponding to ABN and Digital Hall encoders.

Depending on the used motor and its wiring, you may need to customize the encoder cable. Some examples:

ADI Trinamic ABN (Default)

Encoder cable for ADI Trinamic ABN encoders, such as the ADI Trinamic TMCS series, and the builtin encoders on ADI Trinamic QSH series stepper motors.

BLDC with Hall

Encoder cable for a generic BLDC with Digital Hall sensor configuration, with no special encoder connector, such as the ADI Trinamic QBL series.

BLDC with Hall, VESC-like connector

Encoder cable for using a Digital Hall sensor with a VESC-like encoder connector (6-pin JST PH), such as the REV-21-1650.

BLDC with Hall & ADI Trinamic ABN

Encoder cable for using both an ADI Trinamic ABN encoder and a Digital Hall sensor.

CAN cable

The ADRDx161 board family communicates via CAN bus. The two headers P8, P9 allow for daisy-chaining CAN devices.
