Rick Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Hi Can I use a 5v incremental encoder with the v120-22-r1 or does it have to be 12v? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2014 Simon Posted September 16, 2010 MVP 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 It needs to be 12V (assuming you set up the V120 for 12V operation). You could possibly use optocouplers, but they would need to be fast enough to transmit the encoder signal at max frequency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2023 Joe Tauser Posted September 16, 2010 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Many optocouplers have built-in filtering have a transition time of 100 ms, which won't work with an encoder. We used to get a 1 MHz converter from Woertz that worked great. What country are you in? Joe T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MVP 2023 Joe Tauser Posted September 20, 2010 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 I had to dig it out - the part number is 45315T/7. We've got some in stock - contact me if you want any. Joe T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
