CNC4PC supplied spindle encoder?

[westyone]

Hello - I ordered my Masso system from CNC4PC in the USA. It was suggested that I buy the spindle encoder at time same time, which I did. The link below is what I got. Looking at some of the comments on the forum I'm thinking it's wrong.

Please have a look.

Thanks

That encoder will not work very well. Masso works best with 100ppr type encoders. Anything more will reduce the RPM range.

Here is a link to the documentation page from Masso for encoder wiring.

Hope that helps!

@westyone this encoder has another problem, it's working voltage is 5v and has differential output signal, so by the time you wire it to MASSO the voltage signal going into the inputs will be only 2.5 volts (the half of the encoder supply) and MASSO needs at least 5v input to work.

The best is you get PNP encoder something that works from 12v to 24v

Hello - I have ordered and received the Masso optical encoder. The "Pulley Sticker" generator on the web site does nothing when clicked?

Thoughts?

@westyone thanks for the message, for some reason the link is not working, we are checking the issue and will get back to you.
