Linuxcnc with RLS rolin encoder.

Did you solve the rls encoders?

I have a similar 5axis machine and also want to use some absolute encoders from rls. I also have the solution to use a incrmental quadrature, but i need a 3mm shaft and a 22mm body, 10k ppr. Im ușeing 7i95 as setup

The encoder in the picture doesn't look like an RLS Rolin. In fact it looks an awful lot like a resolver.

Yes, it is a Harosyn resolver, made by Harowe Controls. I can read enough of the label to be sure of the ID.

Sorry I did not explain correctly.

It has this strange , hard limits and refernace divice attach to 3 encoders on xyz and 2 resolvers on AB. I want to change the resolvers and the encoders with a RSL encoders on all axis. RL22 8000ppr encoder incremental and mount on this device and use refernace. Or giveup this divice and use absolute.

Very interesting device. It appears to have some anti-backlash gearing, cams and microswitches, and something black that looks a lot like an old HP HEDS encoder.
The 10-conductor blue ribbon cable looks REALLY familiar, I have some similar units.

It reminds me of the old GE resolver units. Course, medium, and fine to generate an absolute position through the gearing.
