In regards to Strobe and Parity, If I understand correctly, I should remove Strobe and Parity to the position calculation (the PLC program I showed) right? Then, I will use Strobe for another rung for the locking process. Right? And I should completely remove Parity from the PLC program and disconnect Parity from wiring?

Too bad to hear about the PLC program of Click PLC. That would be a great resource to have in the next steps.
You can still use Parity for position calculation, as it does provide an extra check that the encoder is on a valid position, but Strobe is only needed for timing purposes.

As per Muzzer's post, I should have been a bit clearer. The Click PLC software is free, it's just that I no longer own any Click PLCs, so have no need to have the software installed.
If you're willing to install the software, I can send you the code so you can load and view how I controlled my TOE 80 turret.
