Parameter Descriptions
ENCODER TYPE
This parameter defines the type of encoder being used.
Enumerated Value : Type
Note that if an absolute endat encoder is used, the encoder MUST be wired exactly as specified. If not, it will fail to calibrate
the absolute position and an error will result when the drive is started. Its status can be viewed via the parameter CALIBRATN
STATUS.
PMAC motor control needs to work with an absolute position. Using absolute encoders is preferred but using relative encoder
is possible with heavy constraints:
- at each power up, an init sequence is needed to align the Zero encoder position to the motor Back EMF. For this
purpose, the motor should be free of rotation, without any load or friction on its shaft.
As described, absolute encoders are :
- single turn or multi turn endat encoder
- resolver
