text: <s>[INST] CIP Motion with external absolute encoder Hi there, in an application where I have a carriage, which moving distance is about 5000mm, I want to use a Temposonic absolute encoder. This encoder can be ordered with different interfaces (e.g. Ethernet). I'm looking for an option, that allows the feedback of an CIP motion coming from Ethernet and NOT directly by an module installed in the PF755 (e.g. xxxENCxxx). [/INST] Paul, I guess that it would be possible only utilizing the Universal Feedback Board (UFB). Please see the technote below: Recommended Temposonics utilizing the PowerFlex 755 Universal Feedback Board (UFB) (custhelp.com) As for utilizing the Temposonics via Ethernet/IP, I could not find a relevant module on Logix Designer. You may want to consider RA's 842E Ethernet/IP absolute encoders. Regards, Kubi \\n </s>
