Editing Argon user guide/J1 connector wiring

{{SetAUGTitle|J1 connector wiring}}{{ArgonManualNav}}This page lists most common wiring schemes to Argon feedback device ports. See also the main article [[Argon user guide/Wiring]].
{{Damage|The naming conventions of feedback device wires and signals vary between different manufacturers. The most important things to ensure are:<br> - proper ground and supply wiring<br> - sensor voltage levels are compatible }}

==Pin-out==
J1 connector type is 15 pin female D-Sub and should be mated with 15 pin male D-Sub counterpart. Many of the J1 pins have dual functions. The operating mode of pin is determined by feedback device mode selected from [[Granity]].

==J1 wiring guide==
{{tip|Devices with [[differential signaling]] may use varying mark-up habits of signal pairs. For example differential signal X (which contains two electrical wires) may be denoted as: X+ and X-, or X and \X or X and {{overline|X}}. In this Wiki we mark them X+ and X-. Some Fanuc encoders have quadrature signals named as PCA, /PCA, PCB, /PCB, PCZ and /PCZ which are equivalent to A, B and Z signal pairs.}}
===Incremental encoder===
====Differential====
Differential outputs (RS422 electrical standard) of encoder provides a good [[Electromagnetic interference|EMI]] immunity and supports long cables with high speed signals. 
Typical differential encoder has 6-8 wires:
*Ground
*Supply
*Channel A+ 
*Channel A- 
*Channel B+ 
*Channel B- 
*Index+ channel (optional), typically called Z+ or I+
*Index- channel (optional), typically called Z- or I-
The negative outputs have the inverted (or mirror image) signal of the positive outputs.

Pins not listed in the table are left open or used for other functions such as Hall sensor.

====Single ended====
Single ended output type is usually one of the following:
*Open collector outputs
*TTL outputs
*CMOS outputs
Typical single ended encoder has 4-5 wires:
*Ground
*Supply
*Channel A
*Channel B
*Index channel (optional), typically called Z or I channel

===Hall sensor===
Some AC/BLDC/Linear motors are equipped with a [[Hall sensor]] which allows faster drive initialization after power-on as [[Phasing a.k.a. phase search|phase search]] can be skipped. Hall sensor is also necessary in the case where motor is not able to move freely in both directions when powered on (i.e. if axis rests at the end of mechanical travel or is vertical axis).

Many Hall sensors have differential outputs (non-inverted and inverted channels, just like differential encoder), however Argon has only single ended Hall sensor inputs which supports both output types (single ended and differential).

It is possible to connect a Hall sensor together with other feedback devices to the same port. In such case supply pins may be shared between multiple FBD's.
