Note: Regarding the origin position indication, Rotary Encoders
the relationship between the Z phase and the origin position point is as follows:
Align the D-cut surface with the Z phase origin position point on the main body as shown in the figure.

*1.Rotary Encoders, When the power is turned on, an inrush current of about 9A flows. (Time: about 0.3ms)
*2.The line driver output is a data transmission circuit that complies with RS-422A and enables long-distance transmission using a twisted pair cable. (Equivalent to AM26LS31)
*3.The electrical response speed is determined by the resolution and maximum response frequency.

Therefore, if you rotate the motor at speeds faster than the maximum response speed, the signal will not follow electrically.
