hi, I'm new to using HSC, could you help me in the HW configuration of this encoder motor?

maybe I understood that I have to set up single phase, but it is not clear to me how to manage the DIR?

thanks for any indication and suggestion?

Which PLC, Module or Board? Pay particular attention to voltage/resistor requirements detailed in the datasheet.

Your  encoder can only be setup for single phase and in that case there's no way to determine direction.

Adding my opinion..

That motor is a 9V motor. The encoder is meant for 9V. The encoder signal is NPN.

The description is less clear about using a 5V supply, where it is converted to PNP with a pull-up. I assume you can power the encoder with 5V. The resolution of the encoder is very bad.

Using this motor is not a great idea. Does the project insists on it?

You will need a signal board that handles the 5V signal of the encoder. You can leave the NPN signal as is. It is doubtful if you will need a HSC.

If your project insists on using the base PLC only - you will need to build an electronic circuit to boost/amplify the encoder signal to 24V. Above 15V is TRUE and below 5V is FALSE. An opamp or transistor amplifier should work.

The other consideration (best solution) would be to get an external encoder. You can make one yourself if needed. Mount the encoder on the outgoing shaft of the motor or whatever you need to move.

Get all of the circuits in place first. Then test with the PLC that you get out some signal correctly. Only after can you concentrate on the coding.

Good luck.

It looks like a hobby project.

If I showed you some of my projects,
you might say the same thing.
Best we not judge to harshly.

Highly possible it is a school project.

We do help students too, but it helps to know where our limitations are.

It is for that reason I made the suggestion about an amplifier circuit. But you can make a good enough encoder using a light detector detecting holes in a disk.

I wasn't putting down hobby or learning projects at all it just struck me as very basic.

I made my first two phase encoder out of two single phase encoders taking out of garage door openers and with help built a little interface board to connect it to my first my PLC. It worked great and learned a lot from the experimentation that went with it; about encoders and electronic circuitry,'

Interestingly enough, about six months ago I realized that garage door openers are now using something more than single phase encoders which they state is an absolute encoder and a brand new opener is less than quarter of the price of an absolute encoder so I bought a replacement encoder for something like sixty dollars or so to reverse engineer and see if it offers new economical way less demanding projects but to this day haven't had enough time for it. May be next couple of weeks; I will put it on my list of things to play with.
