Units	N/A
Range	0 to 2
Default Value	0
Data Type	Integer

Description

This parameter sets the secondary feedback source to be either the EEO connector (X9) or the high speed opto inputs on the I/O Connector (X7) as follows:

0 = None

1 = Feedback Source X9 (EEO connector)

2 = Feedback Source X7 (High Speed Opto Inputs on the I/O Connector)

FB2 5V Power Supply Notes:

If FB2.SOURCE = 0 or 2 (X7), the 5V power supply will remain off.

If FB2.SOURCE = 1 (X9) the FB2 5V power supply will remain on unless a short is detected. This is useful for encoder types that may require calibration.
