Performance Monitoring
Performance Monitor Parameters monitor the performance of the MLP–Drive and your
system. Figure 3-2 is a block diagram of the internal control structure of the MLP–Drive
and the Performance Monitor Parameters.

Figure 3-2 MLP–Drive Internal Structure
MP-40 TACH
Tach (MP-40) is the feedback displayed in scaled Engineering Units or RPM. In the
Master mode, Tach (MP-40) will display the feedback in Master Engineering Units
(CP-20). In the Follower mode, Tach (MP-40) will display either the E.U.s/Time or the
feedback to Lead ratio in Follower Engineering Units (CP-21), depending on the value
in Display Mode Follower (CP-64). In Jog or the Direct mode, Tach (MP-40) will display
the feedback in RPMs. The feedback is read by the MLP–Drive every ten milliseconds.
The readings are summed, then averaged for one second before the Tach is displayed.
MP-42 PULSE ERROR COUNT
The Pulse Error Count indicates the difference between the Lead and Feedback pulses
received during the Follower mode of operation. It is an indicator of the position error
between the lead and follower devices. This error is cleared to zero when the MLP-
Drive enters the stop state.
