Can I read the position from 2 different encoders?

Can I read the position from 2 different encoders?

In standard drives from the Ecore line (Pluto, Triton, Neptune, Jupiter, Nix and Titan) there is not the possibility to read the position of 2 different encoders at the same time. Therefore, if you have 2 encoders in your system (one on the motor side and another on the load side) you will only be able to use one of them for positioning purposes. However, this doesn't mean that you can't use both encoders for different purposes (one for commutation and the other one for position/velocity control).
