Kinetix 6000 registration input using existing sensor

[AgnosticLogic 0]

I want to use an existing sensor for the registration 1 input for a kinetix 6000 drive.  I notice that the pinout for the I/O connector shows 24V registration power (pin 16) and common for registration (pin 15).  Do I have to use these, or is there a way to use the signal from an existing sensor that is already in use and goes to an input module in the CLX rack?  I would rather not have to install a second sensor in the same position, if possible.  I am trying to track the position in an attempt to identify issues before they get out of control.

Not beeing an expert on the 6000 series, but you should be able to just connect the common (pin15) on the Kinetix 6000 with the 24VDC power supply common for your CLX inputs. Then pull a wire from where the sensor is currently connected to the CLX input and to the IO registration Pin on the Kinetix 6000.

If its just for testing purposes then that should do it...
