Quadrature Encoder Operation
 
 
The Universal Encoder Interface will accept either single or dual 
quadrature encoders. Configuration of the board to accept the encoders is 
done through jumpers on J4. 
 
 
Boards shipped from the factory come defaulted to single quadrature 
encoder configuration. 
 
 
For dual encoder configurations, the primary encoder is wired to pins 1 to 
7 on the 1492-IFM20 module. (See table below). 
 
 
To select the dual encoder option, remove the CD_QUAD jumper and 
place it in PARK. This will configure the board to accept two individual 
quadrature encoders. In this mode, the drive can switch between encoders 
for applications such as Synchronous Transfer between two motors with 
each having their own encoder. 
 
 
For redundant encoder option, remove both the CD_QUAD and 
POL_QRDNT jumpers and place them in PARK. With this configuration, 
the drive will switch over to the redundant encoder when it detects a 
problem with the primary encoder. 
Consult factory for availability of dual Quadrature Encoder options.
