Main and Auxiliary Feedback Combinations
The Main Feedback is always used in motion control devices whereas the Auxiliary Feedback is
often, but not always used. The Auxiliary Feedback port, FEEDBACK B (J2), can be used in
combination with the Main Feedback port, FEEDBACK A (J3). Feedback B can be set by software
as follows:

Applications
Any application where the main
encoder is used, not only for the
drive, but also for other purposes
such as position controllers
and/or other drives.
Analog Encoder applications
where position data is required in
the Encoder’s quadrature format.
Resolver applications where
position data is required in the
Encoder’s quadrature format.
Any application where two
feedbacks are used by the
drive.
Port B serves as an input for the
auxiliary incremental encoder
(differential or single-ended).
For applications such as
Follower, ECAM, or Dual Loop.
Port B serves as an input for
Pulse & Direction commands
(differential or single-ended).
