Primary Encoder Inputs

The primary encoder inputs are accessible through the Feedback connector. Use the PrimaryFeedbackType parameter to configure the drive to accept an encoder signal type.

Square Wave encoder signals: Square Wave Encoder (Primary)

Absolute encoder signals: Absolute Encoder (Primary)

Sine Wave encoder signals (as permitted by the multiplier option): Sine Wave Encoder (Primary) [-MX2/-MX3 Option]

Refer to Encoder Phasing for encoder feedback phasing.

Refer to Auxiliary I/O Connector for the auxiliary encoder on the Aux I/O connector.

Table: Multiplier Options

Option	Primary Encoder Accepts...	Auxiliary Encoder Accepts...
-MX0	Square Wave or Absolute encoders	Square Wave or Absolute encoders
-MX2	Sine Wave (high performance), Square Wave, or Absolute encoders	Square Wave or Absolute encoders
-MX3	Sine Wave (high performance), Square Wave, or Absolute encoders	Sine Wave (standard performance), Square Wave, or Absolute encoders

IMPORTANT: Physically isolate the encoder wiring from motor, AC power, and all other power wiring
