The Gold Panther has two configurable motion sensor input ports, namely, Port A and Port B, and
the emulated buffered output Port C. Motion sensors from the motor being controlled and from
other sources can be connected to any of the available inputs on Port A or Port B. Software
configuration designates each input a role, e.g., the incremental encoder on Port B is the controlled
motor position feedback, the Hall sensors on Port A are commutation feedback, and the
incremental encoder on Port A is follower input.
For more information about sensors and their use refer to the Gold Line Software Manual.
5.3.1.
Port A (J2, J1)
Port A supports the following sensor inputs:
•
Digital Hall sensors
•
Incremental encoder or absolute serial encoder, depending on the specific model
Differential PWM signal input can be connected to Port A in the models that support input from an
incremental encoder. The PWM signal can be connected to the applicable pair of matching + and -
encoder channels and is configurable by software.
Differential pulse and direction signal inputs can be connected to Port A in the models that support
input from an incremental encoder. The signals can be connected to the applicable pair of matching
+ and - encoder channels and are configurable by software.
