AuxiliaryFeedbackType Parameter

Default Value: 0

Minimum Value: 0

Maximum Value: 9

Units: None

Type: int

The AuxiliaryFeedbackType parameter specifies the type of feedback device that is connected to the auxiliary feedback input on the drive.

The table that follows shows the valid combinations of drive types and auxiliary feedback devices.

Not all feedback types are supported by all drive types.

WARNING: The drive cannot detect if an SSI encoder becomes disconnected from the Absolute Encoder Clock or Data pin on the feedback connector. Use the Encoder Fault feature in the FaultSetup Parameter so that the drive can detect when the feedback connector is disconnected. The user is responsible for safely wiring the system.
