MULTI-MODE ENCODER PORT
This port consists of three differential input/output channels that take their functions from the Basic Setup of the drive.
With quad A/B encoder feedback on the motor, the port works as an output, buffering the signals from the motor encoder. With resolver
or sin/cos encoder versions, the feedback is converted to "emulated" quad A/B/X signals with programmable resolution. These signals
can then be fed back to an external motion controller that closes the position or velocity loops. As an input, the port can take quad A/B
signals to produce a dual-loop position control system or use the signals as master-encoder commands in camming mode. In addition,
the port can take stepper command signals (CU/CD or Pulse/Direction) in differential format.
AS COMMAND INPUTS
AS DIGITAL COMMAND INPUTS IN PULSE/DIREC-
TION, PULSE-UP/PULSE-DOWN, OR
DIGITAL QUADRATURE ENCODER FORMAT
The multi-mode port can also be used when digital
command signals are in a differential format. These
are the signals that typically go to single-ended
inputs. But, at higher frequencies these are likely to
be differential signals in which case the multi-mode
port can be used.
AS A MASTER OR CAMMING ENCODER INPUT
FROM A DIGITAL QUADRATURE ENCODER
When operating in position mode the multi-mode
port can accept digital command signals from
external encoders. These can be used to drive
cam tables, or as master-encoder signals when
operating in a master/slave configuration.
