Details on encoder signal loss monitoring
The encoder signal loss monitoring disnguishes between the following signal failures:
a)
Complete failure (no encoder signals available at all, e. g. in case the encoder current sup-
ply has failed)
b)
Only one track has failed (track A or track B)
In order to detect a complete failure, the inverter calculates internally two trigger thresholds
for monitoring based on the conguraon of the HTL encoder:
1.
Based on the encoder resoluon set in 0x2C42:001 (P341.01), the minimum output fre-
quency is calculated:
max
number of motor pole pairs number of motor pole pairs
Minimum output frequency [Hz]
t [s] encoder increments
encoder increments
0.001 [s] 4
revolution
edge revolution

Note: The maximum me (t
max
) per edge is 0.001 s. In order to prevent a false tripping,
this value is mulplied by the factor 4.
Calculaon example:
•
Number of pole pairs = 2
•
Encoder resoluon = 128 increments/revoluon
2
minimum output frequency [Hz] 3.9 [Hz]
0.001 [s] 4 128

The maximum permied me is calculated in which a new signal edge of the encoder
must arrive:

If the calculaon with the (synchronous) encoder frequency at minimum output frequency
(here: 2 * 3.9 Hz) is carried out, the resulng me interval equals the maximum me per
edge (here: 0.001 s)
If the real encoder frequency is lower than the calculated minimum output frequency AND if
the new signal edge has not arrived within the maximum permied item, monitoring is trig-
gered. The complete failure is displayed via the status bit 4 in 0x2C42:007.
If only track A or B fails, signals are connued to be detected. In this case, however, the sign of
the frequency changes with every new signal edge. In order to detect the failure of only one
track, an internal counter is increased by 1 every me the sign between two signal edges
changes. If the sign is unchanged in two signal edges in a row, the counter is reset. If the coun-
ter reaches the counter content "100", monitoring is triggered. The failure of only one track is
displayed via the status bit 5 in 0x2C42:007.
Both in case of a complete failure and in case only one track fails, the error message "Encoder
open circuit" (error code 29445 | 0x7305). The error response can be selected in 0x2C45
(P342.00).
