2.3.1. Primary Encoder Inputs
The primary encoder inputs are accessible through the Feedback connector. Use the
PrimaryFeedbackType [A3200: PositionFeedbackType or VelocityFeedbackType] parameter to
configure the drive rack 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 2.8. for the auxiliary encoder input on the Aux Encoder connectors.
