Actually, isn't that 5V output derived from the 24V field power input anyway? ------Original Mail------ From: <p...@wpnet.us> To: <emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Wed, 29 Oct 2014 14:50:02 -0500 Subject: Re: [Emc-users] Lathe conversion with Mesa 5i25 / 7i76 The encoder is powered from TB3 pin 21 and 23 since it's 5V and field power is 24V.
