Overview
SM Feedback Solution Modules
Both Unidrive SP and Digitax ST have the hardware required
to connect to virtually any feedback encoder type, allowing the
system designer to select the most appropriate technology for the
application:
- Incremental - Offers a good balance of cost and
performance
- SinCos - Provides increased position resolution for precision
and low speed applications
- SSI - Provides absolute position feedback
- EnDat & HIPERFACE - These encoders transfer position data
using a high speed communications network, often combined with
SinCos technology
These feedback solution modules extend the drives
standard functionality.

The SM-Universal Encoder Plus module provides the drive
with an additional feedback port with the same functionality as the
base drive, supporting:
- SinCos with Commutation
- Quadrature Incremental
- Pulse and Direction
- SSI
The solution module also provides a simulated encoder
output that can be programmed to operate in the following
modes:
- Quadrature Incremental
- Pulse and Direction
- SSI
The module also incorporates high speed inputs for position
capture.

This module enables the drive to measure the speed and
position of motors and machines fitted with
resolvers. Due to their ruggedness, resolvers are often
used in hot, demanding environments. The solution module
also offers a simulated incremental encoder output.
