[5] Feedback Pulse Output (AFB•/AFB, BFB•/BFB, ZFB•/ZFB)
Data of detected positions are output using differential pulses (phases A, B and Z of up to
2.5Mpps). The host controller can read the current actuator position in real time using a counter
function, etc. This function is also available in Positioner Mode.
6 types of feedback pulse train can be selected. Set the pulse train format in Parameter No.69
and active high/low in Parameter No.70. The output also can be done with a different electric
gear ratio from the input pulse by the settings of Parameters No.114 to 116.
Caution:
(1) These pulse signals can be disabled using user Parameter No.68 “Enable or disable
(default) feedback pulses”. Set this parameter to “Disable” if the feedback pulses are
not used.
(2) If these signals are to be read by the host controller to set a closed loop, set a logically
consistent sequence to implement the applicable processing.
(3) If the actuator encoder is not a serial encoder, the phase-Z signal is output directly.
If the actuator uses a serial encoder, the phase-Z pulse is output within a mechanical
angle range of �0.5� from the zero (home) position. Based on the communication cycle
with the encoder, this precision can be assured when the motor velocity is 100rpm or
below.

When the actuator encoder is other than the serial encoder,
the Z-phase signal is output as it is. In the case of serial
encoder, the range of ±0.5º of mechanical angle from the
point 0 position (origin), is output as the Z-phase signal.
Only when the motor rpm is 100rpm or less, this accuracy
can be guaranteed for the communication frequency with the
encoder.
