Ok, I added a separate field 5V supply with common ground with the field 24V supply. I also fixed a bad connection on the MPG A channel and the count value does indeed go up and down with the MPG wheel. What I still don't have is any axis movement (keyboard jog works fine). :(

Is it safe to tie the grounds together? Yes, its safe but possible undesirable as it makes the PC 5V and field power ground common so you lose the 24V IO isolation > > > ------Original Mail------ > From: "Peter C.
