djs,
thanks that's really what I was looking for that people successfully run cable that long, I was planning on using that exact Belden cable as well.
Skogsgurra,
I felt that was the case, thank you.
Well, in my case I really only have some motor to stepper driver lines (5 phase, 90W). They use pulse train not PWM.
IF 20m isn't a big deal for a shielded differential signal then i'm really not too worried about noise sources.
Hi,
i'm a pretty much a mechanical engineer but I'm putting together a control package for a precision mechanical stage.
The short of it is i'm trying to figure out good guidelines to acceptable wiring lengths in encoder lines.
The long of it.
I'm using linear encoders that output 1VPP...
