open collector Incremental encoder

So I have this TRD SH1000 BD Incremental Encoder which I am trying to connect to the NI 9411. Can I connect it with differential type terminal configuration?

This is the manual for reference.

According to the manual (page 3/13), there are no differential outputs on the open collector version. Am I missing something ?

Open-collector outputs and differential outputs are different things....

 

Since you have open-collector outputs on your encoders only (never heard of encoders having both), you should connect them in single-ended configuration to your DAC board. To work properly with an open-collector output, the inputs of the DAC board must have pull-up resistors. In most cases these resistors are already on-board, check the manual of your DAC board for details. 

 

The wiring between your encoder and the board should not be too long since single-ended inputs and non-differential signal lines are prone to environmental noise. If possible, use shielded cables with the shield connected to digital input ground (DGND) on the DAC board.

I guess you mean DAQ board...
