Configuring the Kinetix 3 Drive Chapter 5
Understanding the Follower
Window The Properties window for Followers looks like this.
Use the Follower window to configure preset gear ratios and associated cut-off
frequencies.
Follower parameters control drive operation when the Operating Mode is set to
one of these options in the Kinetix 3 Drive window.
• Follower: Auxiliary Encoder
• Follower: Step / Direction
• Follower: Step Up / Step Down
• Preset Select 2 = 4 if active, 0 if not.
The Follower window has no associated statuses. The Follower window has these
parameters, and direct commands.
Parameter Description
Command Type Select:
• Auxiliary Encoder: A quadrature encoder provides a position
command signal input to the drive.
• Step/Direction: Step and Direction inputs provide a position
command signal input to the drive.
• Step Up/Step Down: Step Up and Step Down inputs provide a
position command signal input to the drive
Controller Output Type The host controller output type from these options:
• Line Drive Input: The controller has differential TTL/CMOS
outputs. The maximum input frequency is 900 kpps.
• Open Collector Input: The controller has single-ended
transistor outputs. The maximum input frequency is 300 kpps.
• High Frequency Line Driver Input: The controller has
differential TTL/CMOS outputs. The maximum input
frequency is 3.0 mpps.
1st Gear Ratio Change The time when a gear ratio value will change.
• Enable Only on Drive Disabled
