Hi, I have a couple of servo motors out of an old Olivetti printer which I'd like to try to use, however, I can't find any information about the encoders fitted to them. The encoders are in flat brown plastic enclosures on the end of the motors and have 7 pin plugs with 6 wires connected (the motor power wires are separate). Looking inside there appears to probably be 3 photo sensing elements and a clear plastic encoder disk with, I think, 100 prismatic lumps on it and so I assume that the 6 wires must somehow represent a quadrature encoder with index mark???? - or maybe a quadrature encoder with two power connections - I don't know. Has anyone come across this type of motor and worked out the connections or is there some way I could work it out for myself?? thanks.
