Encoder Signals The encoder signals consist of a Phase A, Phase B, and Index (Phase Z) input. The NI 9505E supports differential and single-ended inputs for Phase A, Phase B, and Index (Phase Z) signals. Figures 8 and 9 show simplified schematic diagrams of the encoder input circuit connected to differential and single-ended inputs.

If the encoder cable length is greater than 3.05 m (10 ft), use encoders with differential line driver outputs for your applications. Power for a +5 V encoder—generated by a power supply on the NI 9505E—is available on pin 5 of the DSUB connector. Encoder NI 9505E...
When connecting the encoder wiring to the NI 9505E, use shielded wire of at least 24 AWG. You must use cables with twisted pairs and an overall shield for improved noise immunity. Refer to Figure 5 for a connection example.
