Analog incremental linear encoder input to Trio
We are looking to retrofit a Trio controller to a 3 axis CNC machine which has heidenhain analog incremental linear encoders fitted (1Vpp - 40um linear period) but unsure which if any controller has this function available. Can you advise please - thanks
That encoder signal is not compatible with any of our encoder inputs. We have standard ABZ 5V RS422 differential inputs for incremental encoder and SSI, EnDat, BiSS and Tamagawa interfaces for absolute encoders.

It is not recommended to connect an encoder single ended because it creates strange counting behavior due to signal noise and level drifts. TTL output uses differential wiring (A with /A and B with /B) to cancel noise. But... If single ended encoders ...
