text: <s>[INST] 1756-HSC has to counter 0 & 1 can we wire same encoder to both? [/INST] Bruce40, I've seen many times one encoder connected to two different devices... normally is not a suggested connection due to to the noise that may flow between the two devices over the encoder wires (here really you have the same device...)Also it may happens that the two devices connected may overload the transmitter, due to the internal circuit of the modules (terminating resistors). - fuzzy logic \\n </s>
