Can the Motor Encoder Signal Be Forwarded to the Output Terminal of the A6 Servo Driver?

Regarding the DO output of encoder signals for A6-RS/EC/PN drives, let's first examine their respective function options:

A6-RS

A6-EC

A6-PN

Among these DO functions, there is no option for encoder A/B/Z signal output. Therefore, outputting encoder signals via DO is not achievable. We need to understand your purpose for requiring encoder signal output to provide alternative solutions where possible.

For example, with the A6-RS series, the DB44 port incorporates both frequency-divided output and full-closed loop input functions, which can be used for synchronized control scenarios involving multiple servos.

If you only need to read the encoder position information, this can be achieved through the drive's U40 group parameters. We provide various status information, including position, command count, encoder revolutions, load ratio, speed, and more.
