Gentlemen,
Admittedly, our documentation on the 2000 series is very lacking at this point. The single ended adapter (R2210) that you identified has an IC on it to convert the single ended ttl signal to differential. No resistors anymore, please. Although you CAN use single ended (TTL or open collector encoders) with resistors, it is an invitation to noisy interface and trouble. You were correct in the configuration. You connect the 2210 right next to the encoder, plug in a cat 5 (RJ45) connector and cable between the adapter and connect it right to the 2010 drive. That's all there is to hooking up an encoder to the rutex drive. All of our little adapters (for single and differential encoders) sell for $17.00 each. That's not on the website yet. We will throw them in free until you can order them from the web site and pay for them.
I hope this helps.
