AKD2G vs. AKD: Feedback

AKD2G has five independent feedbacks that can be assigned to either axis. By default, each axis is assigned to feedback 1 or 2 for axis 1 and 2 respectively, which only supports 2 wire digital feedbacks SFD and HIPERFACE DSL. There will be a device provided in the future that will plug into the 2 wire port and provide legacy feedback support. In the meantime, only the X23 connector is available for legacy feedbacks on feedback 3. The X23 connector provides the same d-sub 21 pin connector as AKD1 with support for the same feedbacks.

There is also limited support for feedbacks on the X21 and X22 connectors for feedbacks 4 and 5 that provide inputs for step and direction, A quad B incremental, and clockwise/counter-clockwise type feedback control.

Note that available connectors will depend on the drive model ordered.
