2.3.1. Primary Encoder Inputs
The primary encoder inputs are accessible through the Feedback connector. Use the
PrimaryFeedbackType parameter to configure the XL5e to accept an encoder signal type.
Square Wave encoder signals:
Absolute encoder signals:
Sine Wave encoder signals (as permitted by the multiplier option):
Refer to
for encoder feedback phasing.
Refer to
for the auxiliary encoder input on the Aux I/O connector.
