Cytron Technical Forum

Hey Guys,

wish to ask, how am I supposed to interface the Planetary motor with the IFC
dual brush card and still maintain the bidirectional characteristic of the planetary motor encoder?
When i check the dual brush card, there is only 3 pins for encoders( for each port), that is 2 for Vcc and
Ground and the other for Signal, whereas the planetary motor has two signal wires
( channel A and Channel B). The data sheet says that if Ch A lead Ch B, its increasing and
likewise. Hope someone can be kind enough to shed some light onto this topic for me.

Thank You

I never use IFC, I know is from Cytron, but I do not need it

Anyway, can you show the link of the product so other can get it easily?

Thank you for your reply

here is the link of the IFC Dual Brush Card.

and this is the link to the planetary motor

Looking at the layout and schematic of BH02, it only take 1 input for encoder, I don think it can support 2 channels encoder which is needed for you to know direction.

But you control the motor, so you should know the direction, the encoder can provide rotation.
