hii all, I bought a used DC motor with encoder, and I can't determine which of them is Vcc, ground, control.. can anyone helps me in this
thanx all

One way is to see if you can identify any IC's on the encoder and determine which is the +5v and common and identify the appropriate wire colour, you can then power it up and determine signals by meter or 'scope.
Is there a motor or encoder make or model?

it got no IC on the motor as the encoder is embedded in it, but there are 3 colored wires from it, these colors are: yellow, brown and blue!!!
It cannot be a quadrature encoder as at least 4 conductors are required.
A resolver requires 6, unless it is a digital tach of some kind?
Or is it the motor conductors you are trying to identify?
If it is a DC brushed motor, then one would have continuity to ground, the other two being the motor supply.
If it is a DCBL then the three conductors would have the same continuity/resistance between any two, and be the 3 phase stator winding.

I know the motor connection wires, what I wanna know is the connection of the encoder itself

Ah, u say u bought a used DC motor..... so Al is prob right - prob is a TACH not an encoder at all. 2 wires plus a shield wire? tell us part no of motor so we can help. also ohm between all 3 wires and tell us what u get. from these 2 things we prob can help identify for u.
