Can I Connect a Quadrature Encoder to an M Series Card Using the SCC-FT01? Hardware: SCC>>Modules>>SCC-FT01, SCC>>Carriers>>SC-2345
Problem: I am trying to connect an encoder with UP/DOWN control to my M Series card using an SCC-FT01 feedthrough module. The SCC-FT01 User Guide says that UP/DOWN controls are tied to the P0.6 and P0.7 lines for E-Series use. However, my M-Series card uses different pins. Can I use this feedthrough module with an M Series DAQ Card? Solution: M-Series cards use lines PFI10 and PFI11 for UP/DOWN control on counters 0 and 1, respectively, while E-Series cards use the digital lines P0.6 and P0.7 for the same purpose. The SCC-FT01 feedthrough module is designed to work only with E-Series cards and does not offer access to the appropriate lines on M-Series cards. Therefore, the SCC-FT01 cannot be used in this configuration. However, the SC-2345 Connector Block exposes all of the necessary pins (i.e. pins 45 (PFI10) and 46 (PFI11) for M Series) and can be used as a replacement for encoder connections on M-series cards.
