Electrical – Wiring diagram for IE58A (Incremental-Encoder)

encoderwiring

I have an incremental-encoder, the cable is torn and I opened it and find 8 wires. I'm now really confused how can I understand what are wires for. I want to replace the encoder with a new one so I have to know what each wire is for?

Type : IE58A
Pin: bn    k0         Pin:rt
Pin:gn     k0 neg     Pin:sw
Pin:gr     +Us=11-27v Pin: bn 0.5
Pin:rs     0Volt      Pin: ws 0.5

6 thin wires are : 
   + grey
   + pink
   + orange
   + brown
   + black
   + red

2 thick wire:
   + brown
   + beige

The datasheet gives a few clues.

Figure 1. The datasheet tells us (1) that we'll need power, (2) there's a signal A and /A output pair, (3) a signal B and /B output pair and (4) a zero reference (once per revolution) signal Z and /Z pair. At two wires each that makes eight wires.

You don't need to reverse engineer this unit any further. You need to find a compatible encoder (watch the pulses per revolution) and figure out the wiring back to whatever is using this one.
