SETUP PARAMETERS 
Function Blocks 
SPEED FBK SELECT  47  See below 
Determines the source of the speed feedback signal. The default, ARM VOLTS FBK, 
uses internal circuitry to derive the speed feedback. The other selections require the 
appropriate external device to provide the feedback signal. 
0 : ARM VOLTS FBK 
1 : ANALOG TACH 
2 : ENCODER 
3 : ENCODER/ANALOG  - for Parker SSD Drives use 
4 : ENCODER 2

ENCODER LINES  24  10 to 5000 
The number of lines must be set to match the type of encoder being used. Incorrect 
setting of this parameter will result in an erroneous speed measurement. The 5901 
Microtach has 1000 lines per revolution as standard. Proprietary encoders of other 
specifications can be normalised by setting this parameter as appropriate. 
 
 
 
Refer to ENCODER 
ENCODER RPM  22  0 to 6000 
Motor top speed setting (100%) when using encoder feedback.  Refer to ENCODER 
ENCODER SIGN  49  NEGATIVE / POSITIVE 
Since the encoder feedback cannot be reversed electrically, the signal polarity can be 
reversed by the control software.  
It is necessary to set up this parameter when in CLOSED-LOOP VEC mode, as the 
encoder direction must be correct for this mode to operate. 
 
 
 
Refer to ENCODER 
SPD.INT.TIME  13  0.001 to 30.000 s 
Speed loop PI integral gain adjustment.  Refer to SPEED LOOP 
SPD.PROP.GAIN  14  0.00 to 200.00  
Speed loop PI proportional gain adjustment.  Refer to SPEED LOOP
