I wired it up as per the Rockwell Automation. They did not say to wire up the A- or B-.... As for a oscilloscope I can not get one. The PLC is a MicroLogix 1500 and I am using the High speed counter that is built in.. Which lets me us Input 0 and Input 1. If there is a better way of doing this Please let me know..

The encoder is one off of a machine that we used to have...It is a BEI IDEACOD type: GHM510-1800-001, I have wired up 24vdc out of the plc and wired up A which is a green wire and B which is a yellow wire. A is hooked up to I:0 and B is hooked up to I:1. Hopes this helps... Thanks again veryone

Yes I have it hooked up and I do get a signal. I do believe I need to fine tune my signal for it. I only get one count on 1 fulll turn. I can get the signal to go to a N7 file and watch it count. I am trying to figure out how to write the logic so I can use the signal to either make a funtcion start or stop. Thanks

I am trying to figure out how to setup and use the high speed counter. I am trying to us a encoder with it. Then us the encoder and a space counter...as per expamle x amout of encoder tic's make x amount of inches.. Any Help would be nice. Thanks Dan
