How to Configure An G&L Smart Drive or S200-DLS with Secondary Encoder

I have a customer with old system, Stand-alone Digital MMC (M.3000.0653) and S200-DLS (S20660-DLS). Want to add auxiliary encoder to close position loop of driven axis. Using J8 Aux Feedback port on S200. What is the PicPro function block to use for this purpose?

The setup for the secondary encoder is done in the PicPro software’s  Drive Maintenance  in the Expert View.   There is no Function block setup necessary to complete the feedback setup.
