PCW should be your definitive source on this, but I suspect that the encoder is 5V rather than 24 so can probably just connect as you seem to be indicating. I would suggest re-arranging the spreadsheet so that it is keyed by "signal" and each connector pin has both number and name. Colour-coding like that gets hard to follow rather quickly. The 7i37 works on voltages from 5 to 24V. The 7i37TA looks like it would have been better than the 7i37COM for your application as all the Argon IO seems to be differential pairs. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming.
