  Control Techniques has an obsolete line of motors known as the SL series.  They can come with a proprietary feedback listed in their manuals as "CT-Coder + SLM3 Electronics". This CT-Coder is mad...

These motors have Halls (H1-H3) and a 3-phase AC tachometer for feedback. The AC tach signal must also be aligned correctly. I believe the tach is keyed to the Halls assembly so alignment should au...

Yaskawa SIGMA I series motors can come with proprietary C-channel incremental encoders. These encoders have standard A/B incremental outputs in addition to the C channel which contains all six of t...

The Bosch/Rexroth SF series motors use proprietary Heidenhain EnDat serial encoders. Most standard model Heidenhain EnDat encoders will not work as replacements on the corresponding Bosch drive. He...

We currently do not support the Drive CLiQ protocol used on newer Siemens motors. This includes the legacy Drive CLiQ modules that are used in conjunction with supported feedback devices, and the n...

These old Siemens 1FT5 motors typically have two separate feedbacks that need to be tested and aligned; a Hall effects for commutation and a 3-phase AC tach. Some motors will also be equipped with ...

Mitsubishi uses a few standard feedback connections for their serial encoders, however, it's important to know that there are now two main wiring setups that can be used with these feedback connect...

INTRODUCTIONFor over a decade now, Fanuc has been making encoders that use a new serial protocol which we refer to as "High Speed" due to their faster serial data rates compared with the legacy Fan...

  There are many different types of motors in the Omron R88M series. In general, they all tend to be copies of common manufacturer motor setups, like Yaskawa, Panasonic, and others. This article at...

The Indramat MAC motors all use a Hall effect sensor for commutation in addition to a DC tachometer. Some motors will also have an extra incremental encoder added on, like an Indramat/Heidenhain RO...
