| Question: Does the DL05 accept encoder input? |
| Answer: Yes, the DL05 units with DC inputs will accept encoders. This is explained in chapter 3 of the D0-USER-M. There is also an H0-CTRIO high-speed counter interface module for use in the option slot of the DL05 unit. |

| Question: Can the DL05 series support 2 up counters in one of the high speed modes? |
| Answer: No, only one in mode 10 using the built in HSIO on DC input DL05 units. However, the addition of an H0-CTRIO can add more up counters. |

| Question: Can I drive a stepper motor with a DL05? |
| Answer: Yes, you can if you are using a DC output version of the DL05. The instructions are explained in the manual. |

| Question: Can I configure a DL05 to do high speed counting and generate high speed pulse output? |
| Answer: You can do High Speed Inputs or High Speed outputs, but not both. 1. Mode 10 allows you to configure one high speed counter, up to 5 KHz. 2. Mode 20 allows you to configure one quadrature counter, which allows counting in clockwise and counter clockwise directions (count up or count down), up to 5 KHz. 3. Mode 30 allows you to do high speed pulse outputs up to 7 KHz. It supports three profiles: trapezoidal, registration and velocity. Only one of these options for the built in HSIO can be used at a time. More details are in Appendix E of the DL05 User Manual For applications requiring multiple functions, consider adding an H0-CTRIO2 |
