Step 3: Motor Technology & Position Sensor Type
3.1 Set the motor technology type based upon the motor.
3.2 Set the motor’s position sensor type based upon the motor. Select quadrature or sin/cos for
ACIM and sin/cos or Hall switch for PMAC motors.
See Programmer » Motor Setup » Motor Technology Position Sensor Type
3.3 Complete the following parameters based upon the application-wiring and encoder kind.
See Programmer » Motor Setup » Quadrature Encoder » menu
5V Output Enable = On, if the 5V external supply will power the encoder. is is the default
setup, as per Figures 12–15, where the 5 volts powers the encoder.
12V Output Enable = On, if the 12V external supply will power the encoder. Note: the default
encoder supply is the 5 volts. Set to O if not used, thereby freeing pin
for the indicated input.
Note: Both the 5V and 12V Output Enable parameters are mirrored in the Programmer »
Controller Setup » External Supplies menu. See this menu (Step 6) for setting the minimum
and maximum supply currents, if applicable to the encoder and the application. Typically,
the default supply currents are not changed.
Quadrature Encoder Steps. Set the number of encoder pulses per revolution. Note: If doing the
auto-characterization, only encoder steps of 32, 48, 64, and 80 are
auto-determined. If the steps are dierent, enter the steps now.
Setting the Encoder Steps parameter improperly may cause vehicle malfunction, including un-
commanded drive.
Changing the Phasing Order parameter can cause uncommanded motion. Care should be taken
when changing this parameter.
Phasing Order. is parameter is set such that when the motor is turning in the vehicle’s forward
direction the controller reports a positive motor speed (rpm). is parameter will
be adjusted, as needed, when the motor is commissioned or the vehicle driven as
part of the tuning process.
Encoder Fault Setup. See Programmer » Motor Setup » Quadrature Encoder
» Encoder Fault Setup » menu.
The parameters’ default values within this menu are typically sufficient
for operation.
e Fault Detection Enable should be On.
Unless known now, the default Encoder Pulse Fault Detect Time of 0.5
seconds and Fault Stall Time of 5 seconds adjustments are re-examined
during the application’s vehicle tuning.
3.4 ACIM and PMAC motors using the Sin/Cos position sensor.
Set the parameter Enable Multiturn Sensor to match the device.
0 = OFF. 1 encoder revolution per mechanical cycle.
1 = ON. 1 encoder revolution per electrical cycle.
Set the other parameters, if known. Else, these will be set during the commissioning.
