It's an encoder. Use the encoder library. At least one of the signal wires should be connected to a hardware interrupt pin. This is pin 2 or 3 on an UNO. Use both 2 and 3, if you can.
Thank you for you reply! I have another question i´m conecting my motor with this shield
My question is if i can solder a cable on top to connect digital 2 and 3 to use the encoder.
Thank you.

Yes you can but that's not how I would do it.
I would do it by adding a proto-shield to the stack and putting a connector on that shield which has all the encoder wires on one plug.
