Encoder Fault Input

The encoder fault input is for use with encoders that have a fault output. This is provided by some manufacturers and indicates a loss of encoder function.

The active state of this input is parameter configurable through the "Encoder Fault Polarity" setting of the FaultSetup parameter. The controller should be configured to disable the axis when the fault level is active.

The nominal trip voltage of the encoder fault input is +2.5 V.
