Hello,
I'll appreciate a lot if someone helps me to understand the difference between a rotary switch and an encoder. For my first eye seems that a rotary switch has limit positions (max 12?) while the encoder has unlimited (?).
My main problem is that I don't know if I must connect a rotary switch to encoder ports of IO Inputs card or not?
And how a can restrict a rotary switch to a specific nbr of positions? eg I want to use it with 5 only positions.
Thank you
Maria
