4.9.3. Port C – Emulated Encoder Output (J2)
Port C provides emulated encoder output derived from port A or port B feedback inputs, or
from internal variables. The output options are:
• Port A/B daisy chain (1:1) for incremental encoder
• Encoder emulation: Emulate any input sensor, digital or analog, or use to emulate an
internal variable such as virtual profiler.
• PWM output: Any pair of outputs that is used as an encoder channel (e.g., channel A+ and
channel A-) can be configured by software to become PWM output.
• Pulse & Direction output: The output pins that are assigned as channel A and channel B
when used as encoder out, can be configured by software to become pulse and direction
outputs respectively.
This port is used when the Gold Solo Hornet is used:
• as a current amplifier to provide position data to the position controller
• in velocity mode, to provide position data to the position controller
• as a master in follower or ECAM mode
A cable kit containing a cable that connects to port C is available, see Section 2.2.19.
