How can i connect the Faulhaber Motor to MID-7654?

[wlan]

How can i connect the Faulhaber Motor (3564 024BC, with Encoder HEDM 5500 B12) to MID-7654?

The Motor has following wires:

A: Hall sensor green; A: Phase brown; B: Hall sensor blue; B: Phase orange; C:  Hall sensor gray;

C: Phase yellow; +5V: Voltage red; GND: Ground black

The Encoder has:

5: Channel B; 4: Vcc; 3:            Channel A; 2: Channel I (Zero impulse); 1: GND

I don't know how I can connect the encoder to MID-7654 using these wires (what is Encoder Index? Instead of this i only have Channel I !) 

Thanks!

Unfortunately there are different designators for the encoder signal which NI refers to as encoder index. In your case I am pretty sure that the I channel is identical to encoder index.

Other designators I have found are Z (z-ero signal) and R (r-eference signal) for the index signal.

Make sure that the index signal is at the correct level. For most applications it should be active low (i.e. it should be at high level during most of a turn and go low when the index mark passes the opto switch, I think it should be like this on most if not all Agilent optical encoders as you have it on your motor. This happens for a very small turning angle only and is hard to detect when turning an encoder/motor manually, so if you try to find the index signal turn the motor/encoder veeery slowly.

thanks a lot!
