3.10.1. Main and Auxiliary Feedback Combinations
The Main Feedback is always used in motion control devices whereas Auxiliary Feedback is
often, but not always used. The Auxiliary Feedback connector on the Whistle and Tweeter has
three bi-directional pins (CHA, CHB and INDEX). When used in combination with Main
Feedback, the Auxiliary Feedback can be set, by software, as follows:

Typical
Applications
 Any application where the main
encoder is used, not 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 the
Encoder’s quadrature format.
Any application where two
feedbacks are used by the
drive.
The Auxiliary Feedback port
serves as an input for the
auxiliary incremental
encoder.
For applications such as
Follower, ECAM, or Dual
Loop.
Any application where two
feedbacks are used by the
drive.
The Auxiliary Feedback port
serves as an input for Pulse
& Direction Commands.
