*Serial data communication based encoders are not currently supported. However if the serial encoder also provides incremental signal outputs, then it can be used as standard incremental encoder with Argon. | *Serial data communication based encoders are not currently supported.

*Analog (SinCos) encoder support is partial. At the present mode analog SinCos encoder with 1Vpp output can be connected just like incremental encoder. However at the present state drive will not perform interpolation of analog signal thus not yielding maximum obtainable resolution. The resolution of analog encoder will be the encoder line count multiplied by 4. | *Analog (SinCos) encoder support is partial.

Argon supports resolver a.k.a. synchro type feedback devices through [[Argon resolver adapter]] device. Due to wide variety of electrical properties of resolvers it is difficult to guarantee optimal operation with all resolvers. However, Argon resolver adapter has been designed to work with typical resolvers that come inside servo motors. | Argon supports resolver a.k.a. synchro type feedback devices through [[Argon resolver adapter]] device.
