An incremental encoder is used to monitor spindle RPM and also for synchronised threading on lathes
| Pin No. | Description | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Signal A | Opto input (5 to 24v) |
| Pin 2 | Signal B | Opto input (5 to 24v) |
| Pin 3 | Signal Z – Index | Opto input (5 to 24v) |
INFORMATION:
- Recommended maximum encoder PPR is 100, PPR above this will reduce the maximum RPM range.
- All inputs can be easily inverted by selecting the input in the INPUTS list and pressing the space-bar key on the keyboard to invert the input signal.

Upgrading the encoder inputs to take up frequency upto 20kHz
- By default MASSO can take upto 8kHz encoder signals, to upgrade the inputs so that the can take upto 20kHz please follow the below procedures.
- To check the maximum frequency as per your machine spindle RPM and encoder PPR, please use THIS CALCULATOR
