The bit about PWMs makes no sense to me. A and B sound like the signals from a quadrature encoder, and should go to digital inputs. PWM signals are outputs.

I was just informed that we do use absolute optical encoders. Sorry for the confusion. What I meant by single wire encoder is running all 4 encoder wires on one 4-wire PWM (5v, gnd, A, B), instead splitting the encoder wires into two 3-pin PWMs (5v, gnd, A) and (5v, gnd, B) wires that go to separate 3-pin blocks. We'd then run two different DI/O signals to the A and B pins on one 4-pin plugin block.
