Description
4 Description
The encoder box is intended to be used in an environment
where several servo drives require an exact position in
order to follow a specific curve profile, or to determine the
speed at which the machine is running. The position can
be read either from an externally connected encoder or
from a software encoder simulation running on the
encoder box.
•
The encoder box reads the position values from
an absolute or incremental encoder, applies a
precise timestamp and sends them periodically to
the CAN.
•
DS301 and DS406 of the CAN-CiA-Standard are
implemented in the encoder box.
•
The object dictionary is detailed in the VLT
ISD 410 Design Guide.
•
The encoder box fulfils the requirements of class
2 encoders according to the DS406 CAN standard.
•
When simulating the encoder the speed and
ramp can be set.
•
If an error or unexpected event occurs the
encoder box transmits an emergency message
(error code).
•
Every error is logged in the encoder box memory
and remains in the error history. However a
maximum of 6 errors and 6 warnings are saved
and older events are overwritten (first-in-first-out
principle).
