This thread on CNCzone says it has A,B outputs and an index pulse with 5V supply voltage, so that's ideal. The second schematic you posted has the connection diagram for the encoder. That's sufficient - so long as you still have the same connector on the encoder and know which is pin 1 (i.e. which way round it goes)? If this guy responds that would help if you don't know which way round.

Edit: Helpful post about these encoders on CNCZone here:

C - 100 CPR
D - 192 CPR
E - 200 CPR
F - 256 CPR
G - 360 CPR
H - 400 CPR
A - 500 CPR
I - 512 CPR


additional CPR-codes (6000-series)
B - 1000 CPR
J - 1024 CPR


After this comes a double digit, coding for shaft size, which I leave out for sunday laziness.


Pinout bottom view:


Edit: I see that all spaces, that would make the following clear are eaten up, so I will add for each pin (PIN)
Vcc PIN 2 PIN 1 Channel A
NC or Ground PIN 4 PIN 3 Ground
Ground PIN 6 PIN 5 NC or Ground ---With bottom view here the Connector Notch
Channel B PIN 8 PIN 7 Vcc
Channel Index PIN 10 PIN 9 Vcc


Note: all the Vcc's and Grounds must be connected, they function as noise suppression.

Just noticed I've got an old (big) DC-motor with a HEDS-6300 encoder on it, so I'll try it when I've got time...

Edit 2:
Found a datasheet for the HEDS-5000 series encoders. I've uploaded it here. From the part numbering mentioned above, it seems that the 6000 series are the same just in a bigger package, so we can probably assume the pinout is the same...check it vs the schematic you posted.

sorry jonathan id totally forgotten about the above post.
Ballscrews fitted,steppers fitted,its almost there.

Ive made a start on the electricals /enclosure (photos will be up soon) and decided to go for the DG4S-16035 positioning DC servo drive and a BRKC-180 braking circuit to power the spindle motor..i had come across a few on the zone using these on there mills with no complaints
Attachment 13197
im assuming the heds encoder/blue ribbon will need to be rigged up to this DG drive via one of these differential line drivers in the link http://cncdrive.com/Difflinedriver.html.

Had a poke around the spindle motor area took off the wiring cover to reveal the connection block.
the block is printed with he following wire colours to each letter
T1 RED
T2 BLACK
K1 RED
K2 BLACK
A1 WHITE
A1 BLACK
B1 RED
B2 BLACK
.edited i completely missed the pin out info on the back of the lid so will stick below as I couldn't find it on line edited..what are the K1and K2 wires with the T/0 below it ?

second question I have is..
with me using the heds encoder and plugging that into the dc servo drive as the manual instructs,
is the optical sensor that sits on top of the spindle and the tach no longer required??
Attachment 13215
I don't understand why I would need 3 forms of feedback yet they were all installed as standard when the lathe was in its original state.

It turns out I don't need to be concerned with anything other than the encoder so I don't need the rest
im on the wiring next,it wont be pretty.

ive no experience with electronics but I should be ok with wiring the drives getting the motors moving etc
one thing im struggling with and cant find info on is the tool turret card and the 24v solenoid that operates the turret lock and how/where I would go about wiring these into the pmdx 126 board.
EDITED Found the info for the board

thermal overload, over temperature probably

right apparently I can use the k1 relay on the pmdx board to work the turret solenoid .
does the wiring from my turret board to the pmdx look ok in the image below?if so can/should I daisy chain the grounds on the pmdx?
Ive also received an email telling me as the lathe has a turret I will need either a smooth stepper or a second parallel port.. so im thinking this if anyone has any thoughts on it.http://www.cncdrive.com/UC300.html

Not sure if the PMDX is common gnd (Edit: Looks like it is) or if the 5V Gnd is isolated from the inputs.? If common gnd it will use the 5V supply Gnd as it's potential ref so won't need jumpers. If not then you will need you to connect the Input Gnd's to 5v supply Gnd's. In either case won't hurt to daisy chain if unsure.
Same if you use external 5V or 12V you will need to reference Inputs to that supply's Gnd.

edited now braking for spares.moved on.

Getting there :)

From the video it sounds like the solenoid on the ATC, which holds the tool rack rigidly, is not being activated. Once it's wired up (using a spare relay on the PDMX or an external one, with the 24V psu) you can configure it to one of the outputs then add a line to the vbscript which runs the ATC. For example if you set the solenoid on to output #2 and put the correct pin for the relay, then you just add the line 'DeActivateSignal(OUTPUT2)' to the start of the script to switch the solenoid off so the rack can rotate, then put 'ActivateSignal(OUTPUT2)' at the end of the script to switch the solenoid back on.
