Encoder Mode Jumpers Closed Open Brush or Brushless motor with differential A, B and single ended Z
SJ2 Open Closed Panasonic A or S series motor/encoder
Closed Closed Brush or Brushless motor with single ended encoder
SJ3 Reserved Reserved – DO NOT USE, must be Open
Open – Brake control form this is disabled.
SJ4 Brake
Closed – enables Brake control.
Note: Recommended – install SJ4 on one of the servo drives only.
If more than one drive has its SJ4 installed – to turn OFF the brake output, all drives with SJ4 installed should have their brake
control outputs OFF (see LDCN outputs for details).

Encoder Latching

There are three Position Latching sources controlled by LatchSEL1 and LatchSEL2:
- Encoder Z when LatchSEL2=0. Used during Homing procedure;
- INbit10/SysLATCH - when LatchSEL2=1 and LatchSEL1=0. The latching of INbit10 could be
used to latch the encoder position for more precise tool measurement.
- INbit11/Limit2 - when LatchSEL2=1 and LatchSEL1=1. In this mode LS-163m1g3 Limit2 input is
used as a position latching source.
