3.7.2. 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 Solo Whistle 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:

Applications  Analog Encoder applications where position data is required, in the Encoder’s
quadrature format, for other purposes such as position controllers and/or
other drives.
 Resolver applications where position data is required in the Encoder’s
quadrature format, for other purposes such as position controllers and/or
other drives.
 Potentiometer and Tachometer applications where position data is required,
in the Encoder’s quadrature format, for other purposes such as position
controllers and/or other drives.
