The input frequency of the incremental signals (TTL / RS422) or the signal period (1 Vpp) is limited. Details can be found in the specifications for the respective Irinos-Box.

In most measurement applications the theoretical input frequency is far below the limits. However, in reality it can be exceeded quickly through jerky movements. Examples are:

o“Cutting loose” at the beginning of a movement (crossing static friction)

oMechanical stroke

oJerky movement due to mechanical tensions

It is recommended to take this into account during the planning phase. If a jerky movement cannot be avoided, this must be considered in the measurement process (e.g. by referencing while moving).
