Some parameters have a profound effect on the operation of the drive. They must not be altered without careful consideration of the impact on the controlled system. Measures must be taken to prevent unwanted changes due to error or tampering. SM-Encoder Plus & SM-Encoder Output Plus User Guide www.controltechniques.com Issue: 4...
13. The SM-Encoder Output Plus has all the features of the SM-Encoder Plus module but also provides an encoder power supply output and simulated encoder outputs.
500kHz* 16,384 Max input frequency = LPR x rpm / 60 The maximum speed in rpm which an encoder connected to the SM-Encoder Plus or NOTE SM-Encoder Output Plus can reach can be calculated from : Max rpm = (60 x Max input frequency) / Encoder LPR e.g.
B high, and with frequency and direction mode the marker is aligned with F high. The SM-Encoder Output Plus provides the ability to scale down the simulated encoder output signals. SM-Encoder Plus & SM-Encoder Output Plus User Guide Issue: 4 www.controltechniques.com...

SM-Encoder Output Plus freeze flag (Pr x.39). E.g. If slot 3 has a SM-Universal Encoder Plus fitted and slot 2 has an SM-Encoder Plus fitted, Pr 16.39 and Pr 17.39 need to be set to “OFF” before another freeze function can be performed on the SM-Encoder Plus or SM-Encoder Output Plus.
The parameters listed in this chapter are used for programming and monitoring the SM- Encoder Plus and SM-Encoder Output Plus The SM-Encoder Plus and SM-Encoder Output Plus are classed as dumb modules as they do not have their own processors, and as a result all parameters are updated by the drive processor.
