Rockwell Automation 4100 AEC Absolute Encoder Converter Installation - Manual (Page 40)

Publication 4100-UM052B-EN-P - October 2001
32 Setup
Powering the AEC The AEC has reverse polarity protection. However, always take care to
observe correct polarity when you connect the power to your unit. If
power is connected with the wrong polarity, no damage is done. The
AEC simply does not function until the polarity is corrected. There is
no warning or indication of an incorrect polarity connection.
The AEC also has over current protection provided by a fuse on the
printed circuit board. The fuse is a 2 amp/250V, 5mm radial. A spare
fuse is located on the lower left portion of the printed circuit board
and is clearly marked “Spare Fuse”. If the fuse blows, always
determine and correct the reason it blew before installing the new
fuse.
AEC With GML Commander The AEC can only be used with GML Commander version 4.01 or
higher. There are several steps that must be taken in GML Commander
before the AEC can be used within a GML Commander diagram. This
section outlines the necessary steps. For more detail about individual
steps, see the GML Commander Reference Manual (publication
number GMLC-5.2), the “Configuring Axis Use” chapter, “Defining
Feedback” section.
Adding AEC to your Commander Diagram
To add the AEC to your GML Commander diagrams go to GML
Commander and do the following:
1. Select the Configure menu option from the opening GML
Commander screen.
ATTENTION
!
Never replace the fuse with the unit under power. When
replacing the fuse, make sure it is of the proper rating.
IMPORTANT
Before powering the AEC, make sure that it has been
properly installed and configured according to the
instructions contained in this manual.
