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 XC2 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.
You cannot use a sine wave encoder with the -MX1 multiplier option as an input to the PSO. The -MX1
option does not generate emulated quadrature signals.
Refer to Section 2.3.1.4. for encoder feedback phasing.
Refer to Section 3.2. for the auxiliary encoder input 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
-MX1 Sine Wave, Square Wave, or Absolute encoders Square Wave encoders
IMPORTANT : Physically isolate the encoder wiring from motor, AC power, and all other
power wiring
