Encoder echo and emulation
Both encoder echo and emulation are supported by the above-mentioned FEN-xx
interfaces.
Encoder echo is available with TTL, TTL+ and HTL encoders. The signal received
from the encoder is relayed to the TTL output unchanged. This enables the
connection of one encoder to several drives.
Encoder emulation also relays the encoder signal to the output, but the signal is
either scaled, or position data converted to pulses. Emulation can be used when
absolute encoder or resolver position needs to be converted to TTL pulses, or when
the signal must be converted to a different pulse number than the original.
Load and motor feedback
Three different sources can be used as speed and position feedback: encoder 1,
encoder 2, or motor position estimate. Any of these can be used for load position
calculation or motor control. The load position calculation makes it possible, for
example, to determine the position of a conveyor belt or the height of the load on a
crane. The feedback sources are selected by parameters
