2.3.1.1. Square Wave (RS-422) Encoder
The standard encoder interface accepts an RS-422 differential quadrature line driver signal. Invalid or
missing signals will cause a feedback fault when the axis is enabled.
An analog encoder is used with the -MXU option (refer to Section 2.3.1.2. for more information).
