Posted 29 Jul 2020 hi all bit of info needed,I want to wire up an encoder i have to a fx plc. i believe/ would like to use hs counter c252 where x0 is A encoder output,x1 is B & x2 rest. the encoder i have came with following details: Features: 400 p / r (Single-phase 400 pulses / R, Two phase 4 frequency doubling to 1600 pulses) Power source: DC5-24V Shaft: 6 * 13mm / 0.23 * 0.51 ″ Size: 38 * 35.5mm / 1.49 * 1.39 ″ Output: AB 2phase output rectangular orthogonal pulse circuit, the output for the NPN open collector output type Maximum mechanical speed: 5000 R / min Response frequency: 0-20KHz Cable length: 1.5 meters Notice: AB 2phase output must not be directly connected with VCC, otherwise, will burn the output triode because of different batches, and may not have the terminal Package included: 1 X Incremental Rotary Encoder Connection: Green = A phase, white = B phase, red = Vcc power supply, black = V0 I gather from this that I connect green - x0,white-x1, red to 24v & black/shield to 0v & rest button x2 I also believe as it is npn output would I connect 0v to the s/s terminal.(sink?) what i need to know is if i connect 24v to the s/s terminal would this damage the encoder & if all my above assumptions are correct.

Posted 29 Jul 2020 Hi lizard, Yes, your 0V would go to the common on the PLC input. This would be NPN. http://www.plctalk.net/qanda/showthread.php?t=27796 " The S/S terminal is used to configure the unit inputs for sinking or sourcing signals (all at once).The inputs themselves are polarity-insensitive and S/S is their common.When the S/S is connected to the logic ground, the inputs react on sourcing signals (PNP sensors).When it is connected to the logic power (typically +24VDC) the inputs react on sinking signals (NPN sensors). " Here is the hardware manual:https://dl.mitsubishielectric.com/dl/fa/document/manual/plc_fx/jy992d66301/jy992d66301s.pdf I hope this helps you out.

Posted 29 Jul 2020 Actually putting 0v to the s/s terminal would be for sourcing logic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
