Absolute Encoder (Auxiliary)

The controller 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 Aux Encoder Connector.

Refer to Absolute Encoder Schematic (Aux Encoder 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.
