2.3.1. Primary Encoder Inputs

The primary encoder inputs are accessible through the Feedback connector. Use the
PrimaryFeedbackType [A3200: PositionFeedbackType or VelocityFeedbackType] parameter to
configure the drive to accept an encoder signal type.
Square Wave encoder signals:
Absolute encoder signals:
Sine Wave encoder signals (as permitted by the multiplier option):
Refer to Section 2.3.1.4.
Refer to Section 2.5.
