Hi, I have a "Kubler Turck TK183013 T8.5020.1642.1024 Rotary Encoder"(https://www.kuebler.com/pdf?5000-5020_en.pdf) with RS422 output. I want to connect it to the Roboclaw motor controller ( roboclaw_datasheet_2x30A.pdf (basicmicro.com) ) ( roboclaw_user_manual.pdf (basicmicro.com) ). The Roboclaw doesn't seem to accept the RS422 communication. Kindly advise me which converter is needed.
Regards

 

Do you know what RS422 means? Why do you think you need a converter?

I have very little knowledge about it. Output from the RS422 is A+/A-,B+,B- whereas Roboclaw pins are A,B and encoder power. That made me think I need a converter.
Thank you in advance for your help.

 

RS422 output just means that you can use a RS422 interface IC as a receiver, if your controller does not use the complementary /A /B signals, just transmit the A & B.
It appears your motor controller accepts the RS422 so no other device should be needed?
