An encoder is a sensor that must be mounted on/near the device whose rotary speed/position it is sensing. So no, there is no encoder built-in to the Jag.

The Jag does have a built-in encoder interface however, to receive a signal from an encoder.

And the Jag also has a microcontroller with firmware which which can use the encoder signal as an input to a PID algorithm in the firmware.
