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 User Guide www.controltechniques.com Issue Number: 3...
Unidrive SP, to be used as position and speed feedback for the drive. Typical uses for the SM-Encoder Plus would be to input a speed/position reference from a line speed encoder, or to digitally lock the drive to a master reference using the position controller in drive menu 13.

Only encoders with lines per revolution that are a power of 2 can be used with the SM- NOTE Encoder Plus, e.g. 256, 512, 1024 etc. The marker pulse duration must be between 45° to 360° electrical (encoder). SM-Encoder Plus User Guide Issue Number: 3 www.controltechniques.com...
2. Ensure that both the +24V, and +48V backup power supplies are disconnected from the drive for at least 10 minutes if used. 3. Check that the exterior of the SM-Encoder Plus is not damaged, and that the multi- way connector is free from dirt and debris.

11. Check that Pr 15.01, Pr 16.01 or Pr 17.01 shows the correct code for the SM- Encoder Plus (code = 104). 12. If the checks in steps 10 and 11 fail, either the SM-Encoder Plus is not fully inserted, or the Solutions Module is faulty.
Terminal descriptions Figure 4-3 SM-Encoder Plus terminals Table 4.1 SM-Encoder Plus terminal descriptions Term Encoder External power supply decoupling Terminal 8 should be used to join the external encoder power supply to the encoder as NOTE shown in Figure 4-4. If the drive encoder supply is to be used for two encoders, the user must ensure the total load does not exceed 300mA for 5V and 8V encoders and 200mA for 15V encoders.

SM-Encoder 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.
The parameters listed in this chapter are used for programming and monitoring the SM- Encoder Plus. The SM-Encoder Plus is classed as a dumb module as it does not have its own processor and as a result all parameters are updated by the drive processor.
