Feedback 2

 

The Feedback 2 screen helps configure how you will be using either connector X9 or X7. The screen uses the term feedback in the labels, but you can also think of this as the “signal” source depending on how you use these connection points.

The Feedback source box allows you to choose from three feedback sources:

Source 0 – This simple indicates you are not using either connector as a feedback source.

Source 1 – This is tied to the use of connector X9 (consider for emulated encoder connection).

Source 2 – This is tied to the use of connector X7 (consider for the high speed opto inputs on the

I/O Connector).

Feedback Mode offers three selections as well, depending how you are using the connection source above.

Mode 0 – The input is configured as A/B signals.

Mode 1 – The input is configured as Step and Direction signals.

Mode 2 – The input is configured as Up-down signals.

The Resolution box sets the resolution of the device you have indicated as your input of signal source.

Encoder Emulation Output

The drive offers the flexibility to use connector X9 for an encoder emulation output. This output can be set up using the Encoder Emulation view.

The Emulation Mode box offers three settings for Encoder Emulation mode:

Mode 0 – The connector is free to use as an input.

Mode 1 – The X9 connector is now set up as an encoder emulation with a once per rev index pulse (resolution is set in the next parameter (Emulation Resolution).

Mode 2 – The X9 connector is now set up as an absolute index pulse.

Emulation Resolution sets the resolution desired for the output of the emulated encoder.

The Index or Absolute offset is dependent on which emulation mode is selected, allowing you to set an offset for either the index pulse or absolute pulse.

A check box allows you to consider the motor direction based on the encoder output.
