D-9

The Hall signals, as well as the line-to-line back-EMF voltages, must
sequence according to the Allen-Bradley standard (refer to Figure D.2
and the “Motor Phasing” on page D-3). The Hall offset value is the
value the drive uses to correct for Hall signals that are shifted from the
line-to-line back-EMF.

Figure D.5(a) shows the Allen-Bradley standard for orientation of the
Hall signals to the line-to-line back-EMF voltages. Figure D.5(b)

shows an example of a 60

Hall offset from the standard location.

Startup Commutation

The startup commutation list box specifies the type of commutation to
be used at startup. The choices are:

6-Step ABS/Index,

8-Step ABS/Index,

Hall/Index, and

Hall/Hall.

The different types of startup are identified by their initial and final
commutation angle measurement. For example, the 6-Step ABS/Index
startup uses the 6-Step ABS for the initial commutation angle
measurement, and the index signal for the final commutation angle
measurement.

The Hall/Hall type of startup commutation should be used unless the
motor is a special version of an Allen-Bradley motor. The reasons for
this are:

The ABS signal is only available on Allen-Bradley motors.

Hall/Hall commutation means that the location of the Index signal
is unimportant.
