4-4 Feedback MN1943
4.1.1.2 Encoders without Halls
Incremental encoders without Hall feedback connections may be connected to the
MotiFlex
e
100. However, if Hall connections are not present, it will be necessary for the
MotiFlex
e
100 to perform an automatic phase search sequence the first time it is enabled after
power up. This will cause motor movement of up to 1 turn on rotary motors, or one pole-pitch on
linear motors.

4.1.1.3 Halls-only feedback devices
Feedback devices using only Hall sensors may be connected to the MotiFlex
e
100. However,
since there are no encoder connections, the MotiFlex
e
100 will not be able to perform smooth
speed control or accurate positioning control.
