R356’s Encoder Option
A single-ended optical encoder must be installed on your motor in order to have
encoder feedback. Position correction mode can be turned on such that it will
continually send step pulses until the true desired position and actual position equals
each other. The option of simply sending an error report is also possible. The R356
must first be set up to work with the encoder by understanding the CPR and
calculating an encoder ratio. See the Appendix B of this user manual.
