if you are not familiar with encoders you have more problems, I suggest you and or your employer hire a consultant to come to your site and walk you through a set-up. your desperation will not be solved by a forum.

Hi I am familiar with encoders , that's not the problem. Really I just wanted conformation of the configuration that I need. All I want to do is cut a number of pieces of sheet metal to various lengths so the P40-000 would work. I know I only need one encoder input A,B,Z. I want an output signal to go high each time it reaches the set distance and input signal to tell it to move to the next set distance.

So all I really wanted was to confirm that I don't need any analogue o/p signals

Depending on the situation, you may want the analogue output in order to step/ramp the speed. You did say you were using an inverter (VFD?).

This company, one of Lyn's links, says they are the UK distributor for Elgo. Something in the P40 family looks like it would work. But you have to make sure you order the specific options you need - encoder interface, digital/analog output, etc. But I suspect you know all this. I would just say, in my experience, if you can't get support at the purchase phase you probably won't get support with set-up, maintenance, troubleshooting, etc. Maybe a competitor would be a better choice.
