Absolute Encoder (Primary)

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 echo an absolute encoder signal.

Refer to Absolute Encoder Schematic (Feedback Connector) for the serial data stream interface.

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