Typical
Applications
 Any application where the
main encoder is used, n
ot only
for the drive, but also for other
purposes such as position
controllers and/or other drives.
 Analog Encoder applications
where position data is required
in the Encoder’s quadrature
format.
 Resolver applications where
position data is required in th
e
Encoder’s quadrature format.
Any application where two
feedbacks are used by the drive.
Port B1 serves as an input for the
auxiliary incremental encoder
(differential or single-ended).
Port B2 is used to output
differential buffered Auxiliary
Incremental Encoder signals.
For applications such as Follower,
ECAM, or Dual Loop.
Port B1 serves as an input for
Pulse & Direction commands
(differential or single-ended).
Port B2 is used to output
differential buffered Pulse &
Direction signals.
3.4.7. Auxiliary Feedback (FEEDBACK B)
When using one of the auxiliary feedback options, the relevant functionality of FEEDBACK B
ports are software selected for that option. Refer to the SimplIQ Command Reference Manual
for detailed information about FEEDBACK B setup.
3.4.7.1. Main Encoder Buffered Outputs or Emulated Encoder Outputs Option on
FEEDBACK B (YA[4]=4)
Through FEEDBACK B (Ports B1 and B2) the Falcon can provide two simultaneous buffered
main, or emulated, encoder signals to other controllers or drives. This option can be used
when:
• The Falcon is used as a current amplifier to provide position data to the position controller.
• The Falcon is used in velocity mode, to provide position data to the position controller.
• The Falcon is used as a master in Follower or ECAM mode.
