Encoder Fault

[jamesgates1000]

Thanks for you replies.
I will give the encoder company a call and see what they say.
Probably a good thing that is fairly basic electronics, hopefully I can get it fixed.

One other strange thing..
In the manual for the Turret it gives the bit positions for each turret position. there is also a parity bit.



The photo diode senses the slots 24v or 0v,
But at the point where it enters the turret it is always high.
Although strangely it may not matter as it doesn't seem to go to the control. (the bit in the diagnostics is 0 and never changes.

It is wired to the fifth position from the right on the bottom and nothing is in the top. Is this the same as on your Cyclone m_c?



The Denford electrical manual doesn't to mention it either.



If it isn't used could it be used to replace the possibly faulty phot diode on bit 4?
