Absolute Encoder (Auxiliary)

The drive retrieves absolute position data along with encoder fault information through a serial data stream from the absolute encoder. Use twisted-pair wiring for the highest performance and noise immunity. You cannot use an absolute encoder with incremental signals on the Auxiliary I/O Connector.

Refer to Absolute Encoder Schematic (Auxiliary I/O Connector) for the serial data stream interface.

For information on how to set up your auxiliary EnDat, BiSS, or SSI absolute encoder parameters, refer to Automation1 Help.
