INCREMENTAL ENCODER - fabuena - 06-08-2026
Hello,
I want to connect a CALT GHW38 incremental encoder with a built-in measuring wheel to my KC 868-A8 in the simplest way possible.
Should I get an NPN, PNP, or 5V line driver encoder?
Dispositivo de Medición de Longitud CALT GHW38, Codificador Rotatorio con Salida de Pulso, con Rueda Antideslizante de 200 mm/300 mm de Circunferencia - AliExpress
Which inputs do I connect signals A and B to?
Thanks

KC868-A8 digital input: 0V=true 12V=false.

Thank you very much!
So I must buy a NPN encoder, right?

yes, chose NPN type.
