Testing Encoder Inputs

The following test verifies both reception and transmission of the line
count from an encoder by the drive.

The tests require:

a PC running ULTRA Master, and

a motor encoder.

To test encoder inputs:

1. Disable the drive by opening the connections between the

ENABLE input and +24VDC.

2. Choose the

Drive

P

arameters

command icon from

ULTRA Master.

3. Choose

M

aster Encoder

as the Command Source.

4. Choose the

D

rive Set Up

command icon from ULTRA Master.

5. Choose

Divide by 1

as the Master Encoder Command Input.

6. Make the following hardware connections:

• Disconnect all connections to J3.

• Connect the motor encoder to J2.

• Jumper the Encoder Inputs to the Encoder Outputs by con-

necting the following pins:

J1-7 to J1-14
J1-8 to J1-15
J1-9 to J1-16
J1-10 to J1-17
J1-11 to J1-18
J1-12 to J1-19

7. Choose the

E

ncoder Diagnostics

command icon from

ULTRA Master.

8. Choose

Z

ero Count

for both the Motor Encoder and Master Posi-

tion Input.

9. Slowly rotate the encoder shaft by hand while observing the

counts for both the Motor Encoder and Master Position Input. The
Motor Encoder and Master Position Input line counts should be
equal.
