You dont need a 7I33 for just encoder inputs, TTL or single-ended type encoders can connect directly to the 5I20. If you have differential output encoders, you may want a 7I47 as a differential-single-ended converter (which has the side benefit of buffering the step-direction outputs) > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval > Try the new software tools for yourself.
