sthompson Posted November 6, 2012 Report Posted November 6, 2012 Please be a little more specific. What Make and Model of PLC are you using? What is the Encoder connected to. i.e. PLC HSC Input, or HSC Card. What Make and Model of Encoder are you using? Stu.... Quote
Stuartjl Posted November 6, 2012 Author Report Posted November 6, 2012 Hi, Thanks for the reply. I am correct in saying that depending on what PLC is used, that the way the PLC interprets encoder is different? and the encoder outputs are different too? Stu Quote
sthompson Posted November 6, 2012 Report Posted November 6, 2012 Yes it does. Probably a Google search is what you need to answer your question. Here is some light reading to get you started. http://www.dynapar.com/uploadedFiles/_Site_Root/Service_and_Support/Danaher_Encoder_Handbook.pdf 1 Quote
