OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
FP-QUAD-510
4-Axis, Quadrature Input Module
These operating instructions describe the installation, features, and
characteristics of the FP-QUAD-510. For details on configuring
and accessing the FP-QUAD-510 over a network, refer to the user
manual for the particular FieldPoint network module you are using
with the FP-QUAD-510.
Features
The FP-QUAD-510 is a FieldPoint quadrature input module with
the following features:
Four independent 32-bit position counters with individual
Phase A, Phase B, and Index input terminals
Velocity measurement capabilities
Programmable reset on index mode
Sinking inputs, compatible with TTL or differential devices
Inputs protected to ±250 VDC
Hot plug and play operation
2,500 Vrms input-to-output isolation
Double insulated for 250 V safe working voltage

Power Requirement

The FP-QUAD-510 is powered via the local backplane bus from
the FieldPoint network module. The FP-QUAD-510 is a
high-power consumption module and requires more than the
nominal power allocated to an I/O module from the network
module. In some applications, this could limit the number of I/O
modules that you can connect to a single network module.

  • Page 2: Installation

    When defining a FieldPoint system that uses an FP-QUAD-510 module, you must calculate the power consumption. First refer to the specifications section in the user manual for your network module. The maximum number of terminal bases per bank multiplied by 1 watt is the total power the network module can supply.

  • Page 4 – Figure 3. Basic Field Connections to Single-Ended Encoders The FP-QUAD-510 supports differential inputs for Phase A, Phase B, and Index signals. You can easily accommodate encoders with various phase relationships by swapping the signals and/or connecting them to the inverting inputs as specific applications require.
