Possible encoders for the second feedback

All feedbacks that the AX5000 can evaluate, except resolver and MES, can also be configured as second feedback. Typically, a linear encoder is used, for example, to be independent of inaccuracies of a linear spindle.

If an AM8000 motor with OCT feedback is used, the encoder input of the AX5000, X11/ X21, remains free and can be used for an incremental encoder with sine/cosine signals or for an encoder with incremental and absolute (digital) signals.

For the use of a purely digital encoder with EnDat 2.2 or BISS-C interface, the AX572x option card is required.
