5.2.2 Setting parameters of encoder
Servo drive receives feedback signals from encoder to perform servo control. The setting page is shown
as figure 5.2.2.1. In this page, users are able to set encoder types and parameters. The parameters of the
encoders of HIWIN motors are already listed. Users can also input parameters of other encoders. For
instance, while using analog optical scale, click on Linear and select Customized Linear Analog. Input
parameters according to the encoder specification. After parameters are set, parameter settings can be
saved as file (*.enc) and be loaded anytime.
D1-N servo drive is able to detect encoder signal error. The default delay time is set to 200 ms. If some
encoders require longer power on time, set delay time in Power-on time field to avoid “Encoder error”.
D1-N servo drive supports both digital and analog encoders, such as optical scale, magnetic scale, rotary
encoder, etc. EnDat 2.1/2.2, BiSS-C and Nikon serial encoders are supported as well.
The supported encoders can be categorized into the following six types:
(1) Linear-digital encoder
(2) Linear-analog encoder
(3) Rotary-digital encoder
(4) Rotary-analog encoder
(5) Linear-serial encoder
(6) Rotary-serial encoder
For commonly-used encoders of HIWIN, please refer to section 5.2.2.1. For user-defined encoder setting,
please refer to section 5.2.2.2. To work with controller, D1-N servo drive provides buffered encoder output
and emulated encoder output to output encoder signals. When emulated encoder output is selected, the
output resolution can be changed by adjusting scaling. For more information, please refer to section
5.2.2.3.
