say what you want it to do, exactly step by step.........

Helping Hand Hood,
Been working on my machine, enclosed a couple pics. my PMDX, Geckos, and modbus are all mounted on a 16" long alum heatsink with 3 - 12v fans behind.
My question is the encoder wiring. Gecko needs the 5v, 0v, A,B. MY ENCODERS have A-A/-B-B/-Z-Z/ 0v-5v.
What do I do with A/-B/-Z/ ?    SHIELDED CABLES- ground on 1 end. Which end is best. Can't find any info on this anywhere,and I figured  you be the man.
THANKS AGAIN. I couldn't do it without your help,   and I'm sure I'll be back.

Some drives accept differential encoder signals but as you say the Geckos dont so you just leave the A- B- and Z- unconnected at the drive end, best to heat shrink or tape them up so no accidents happen . For the shielding you want to connect that at  the control end, also try and connect all shielding to one point in your control cabinet rather than having them connected all over the place which can cause problems I believe.
  Very tidy wiring BTW and like the look of your control panel, excellent work
