The multi-feedback interface supports the digital encoder systems EnDat® 2.2/22 and BiSS® C (ordering option -0x10) and the analog encoder systems DIFF RS422, TTL and SinCos 1 VPP (ordering option -0x20). Two further D-sub 15-pin connectors can be found behind the front cover. Therefore, one or two EnDat® or BiSS® encoders can be connected to a single-axis module. With a dual-axis module, an encoder interface is assigned to each axis.
These encoder systems can be used as primary or secondary feedback interfaces. Primary feedback means that these encoders are used as commutation encoders. This is the case with third-party motors or if a Beckhoff linear motor is operated with this feedback. Example of secondary feedback: An AM8000 servomotor with OCT drives a spindle axis that is additionally equipped with a linear encoder to increase the accuracy.
