3.5.6.1. Main Encoder Buffered Outputs or Emulated Encoder Outputs Option on
Feedback B (J2) (YA[4]=4)
Through FEEDBACK B the Bassoon can provide buffered main, or emulated, encoder signals to
another controller or drive. This option can be used when:
• The Bassoon is used as a current amplifier to provide position data to the position
controller.
• The Bassoon is used in velocity mode, to provide position data to the position controller.
• The Bassoon is used as a master in Follower or ECAM mode.
Below are the signals on the Auxiliary Feedback ports when set up to run as a buffered outputs
or emulated outputs of the main encoder (on FEEDBACK A):
Pin Signal Function Pin Positions
1 SUPRET Supply return
2 +5 V NA
3 INDEXO- Index complement output
4 INDEXO Index output
5 CHBO- Channel B complement output
6 CHBO Channel B output
7 CHAO- Channel A complement output
8 CHAO Channel A output
