If you use arduino in my case Arduino Micro this is a sample code : #define outputA 5 #define outputB 6 void setup() { pinMode (outputA,INPUT); pinMode (outputB,INPUT); } void loop() { aLastState = digitalRead(outputA); aState = digitalRead(outputA); // Reads the "current" state of the outputA // If the previous and the current state of the outputA are different, that means a Pulse has occured if (aState != aLastState){ // If the outputB state is different to the outputA state, that means the encoder is rotating clockwise if (digitalRead(outputB) != aState) counter ++; else counter --; Serial.print("Position: "); Serial.pr **Q: Does anyone have a datasheet for this? I need to know the arrangement of the screw holes.** A: Draw an equilateral triangle with 24mm long sides. The points are the hole centers. **Q: is there a wire diagram for connection of the encoder to the ab 1400 plc?** A: The encoder has the following wire connections Red>+24VDC Black>Ground Green and White Phase A and B. You'll need to wire to specific inputs though. For example, if you use the first high-speed counter, you'll wire A and B channels to inputs 0 and 1 (A/ and B/ won't be used) with the signal low encoder wire going to COM0. Then you'll need to configure the HSC function file for a two-channel high-speed counter. The ML1400 Referenece Manual (1766-rm001) has all the details about using the high-speed counter. The user manual (1766-um001) has some additional (generic) information about wiring. **Q: What diameter do the threaded holes have?** A: Hello, it belongs to M3 aperture ## Frequently Bought Together - Signswise Incremental Optical Rotary Encoder for Arduino 360P/R Wide Voltage Power Supply DC 5-24V 6mm Shaft Quadrature - Arduino Uno REV3 [A000066] – ATmega328P Microcontroller, 16MHz, 14 Digital I/O Pins, 6 Analog Inputs, 32KB Flash, USB Connectivity, Compatible with Arduino IDE for DIY Projects and Prototyping - EDGELEC 120pcs Breadboard Jumper Wires 10cm 15cm 20cm 30cm 40cm 50 cm 100cm Wire Length Optional Dupont Cable Assorted Kit Male to Female Male to Male Female to Female Multicolored Ribbon Cables --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/18378067-incremental-optical-rotary-encoder-for-arduino-360p-r-wide-voltage](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/18378067-incremental-optical-rotary-encoder-for-arduino-360p-r-wide-voltage) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-07-17*
