Chapter 3 Connector Data and Feature Descriptions
Encoder Phasing Definitions
For TTL encoders, the drive position increases when A leads B. Clockwise
motor rotation is assumed, when looking at the motor shaft.
Figure 41 - TTL Encoder Phasing
For Sin/Cos encoders, Hiperface for example, the drive position increases
when Cosine (B) leads Sine (A). Clockwise motor rotation is assumed, when
looking at the motor shaft.

The drive MFB connector uses Hall signals to initialize the commutation angle
for permanent magnet motor commutation.

IMPORTANT
The Sine/Cosine encoder signal phasing is different than the TTL
encoder signal phasing.
IMPORTANT
When using absolute feedback devices (for example, Hiperface) the
drive simulates a marker signal because these devices don't have a
marker signal required for the home-to-marker sequence to
complete.
