Yes,thoughtheKinetix350designwasconstructedforasingleaxismotoringaxis,therearewaystousetheKinetix350asafeedbackonlyaxis.

However,thedesignintentoftheuseoftheKinetix350,istousetheTimeSynchCIPEthernetEncoderthatwillplugintotheEthernetnetworksimilartothedrivebutallowforamasteronly

Therefore,thesuggestedplanforacustomerwithanimmediateneedtouseaproductthatwillsupportusingasmallpower,motoringservoaxisandfeedbackonlyaxis,is:

1.Kinetix6500whichwillsupportbothamotoringservoandfeedbackonlyaxiswithoneinverter.

2.UseoftheCIPEthernetEncoder.
