An Analog Tachogenerator is connected to the Drive using a screened twisted
pair cable throughout its entire length to provide speed feedback via the Tacho
Calibration Option Board. This provides facility for an AC or DC
tachogenerator. The screen is grounded or earthed only at the drive end, any
other grounding arrangement may cause problems.
Terminals G1 and G2 are for AC tacho connections.
Terminals G3 and G4 are for DC tacho connections.
Note:
The speed loop is set-up for an analog tacho by the SPEED FBK
SELECT parameter in the SPEED LOOP function block. Select
ANALOG TACH for this parameter.
If an AC tachogenerator is used the output is rectified to produce the ac
feedback to the speed loop. Consequently, the controller can only be
used with a positive setpoint.
Refer to Chapter 4: “Operating the Converter” for set-up information.
