2.3.1. Primary Encoder Inputs
The primary encoder inputs are accessible through the Feedback connector. Use the
PrimaryFeedbackType parameter to configure the drive to accept an encoder signal type.
Square Wave encoder signals: Section 2.3.1.1.
Absolute encoder signals: Section 2.3.1.2.
Sine Wave encoder signals (as permitted by the multiplier option): Section 2.3.1.3.
Refer to Section 2.3.1.4. for encoder feedback phasing.
Refer to Section 3.2. for the auxiliary encoder on the AUX connector.
Table 2-13: Multiplier Options
Option Primary Encoder Accepts... Auxiliary Encoder Accepts...
-MX0 Square Wave or Absolute encoders Square Wave encoders
-MX2
Sine Wave (high performance), Square Wave,
or Absolute encoders
Square Wave encoders
-MX3

Square Wave encoders
IMPORTANT : Physically isolate the encoder wiring from motor, AC power, and all other
power wiring
