 * ONCHANGE(vpin) - flag when the rotary encoder position has changed from the previous position
 * IFRE(vpin, position) - test to see if specified rotary encoder position has been received
 *
-* Further to this, feedback can be sent to the rotary encoder by using 2 Vpins, and sending a SET()/RESET() to the second Vpin.
+* Feedback can also be sent to the rotary encoder by using 2 Vpins, and sending a SET()/RESET() to the second Vpin.
 * A SET(vpin) will flag that a turntable (or anything else) is in motion, and a RESET(vpin) that the motion has finished.
 *
+* In addition, defining a third Vpin will allow a position number to be sent so that when an EXRAIL automation or some other
+* activity has moved a turntable, the position can be reflected in the rotary encoder software. This can be accomplished
+* using the EXRAIL SERVO(vpin, position, profile) command, where:
+* - vpin = the third defined Vpin (any other is ignored)
+* - position = the defined position in the DCC-EX Rotary Encoder software, 0 (Home) to 255
+* - profile = Must be defined as per the SERVO() command, but is ignored as it has no relevance
+*
+* Defining in myAutomation.h requires the device driver to be included in addition to the HAL() statement. Examples:
+*
+* #include "IO_RotaryEncoder.h"
+* HAL(RotaryEncoder, 700, 1, 0x70)    // Define single Vpin, no feedback or position sent to rotary encoder software
+* HAL(RotaryEncoder, 700, 2, 0x70)    // Define two Vpins, feedback only sent to rotary encoder software
+* HAL(RotaryEncoder, 700, 3, 0x70)    // Define three Vpins, can send feedback and position update to rotary encoder software
+*
 * Refer to the documentation for further information including the valid activities and examples.
