Help on encoder input voltage - Acorn Mill application

Post by LorenzoRR »

Hello,

I have Acorn controlling my Wabeco, and want to add a spindle encoder to allow rigid tapping.
I am not skilled in electronics and need help to understand what voltage input is available for the encoder.
My current understanding from the schematic is +5V.

I am selectigng an encoder from SICK Germany; there are following electrical interphase possibilities:

I am pre-selecting the "A" type.

Question: would "C" be an option for the Acorn board as well ?
(there are many more available ones with "C" than with "A" and "H")

Many thanks for your help!

Lorenzo

Looks like A or H woukd work. The encoder port on the Acorn supplies 5VDC.
Cheers,

Confidence is the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.
I have CDO. It's like OCD, but the letters are where they should be.
