102.4kHz (3000 with a 2048-line encoder). The UD52 can be used in a Drive operating in either the Closed-loop Vector or Closed-loop Servo mode in order to obtain speed feedback and very high resolution shaft position. The UD52 is fully compatible with the...
The overall resolution is the product of the number of interpolated counts and the number of encoder lines. For example, the UD52 used with a 512-line (2 ) encoder can give a resolution of 2 (1 048 576) counts per revolution).
To ensure mechanical safety, additional safety devices such as electro-mechanical interlocks may be required. The Drive must not be used in a safety-critical application without additional high-integrity protection against hazards arising from a malfunction. UD52 User Guide Issue code: 52nu3...

SCDATA\ SIN-COS encoder UD52 Figure 4 Grounding and screening recommendations for the UD52 The sinusoidal signals from a encoder are low-voltage analog signals. Ensure that electrical noise from the Drive or motor does not adversely affect the encoder feedback. Ensure that motor cables are shielded (see Chapter 2 Installing the Drive in the Installation Guide).

Aligning the encoder mechanically (Closed-loop Servo mode) Note Use this procedure only when the procedure described in Phase offset in Chapter 5 Setting Up the UD52 cannot be performed. When the encoder is used as the feedback, use the following procedure to precisely align the encoder with the motor (for zero phase-offset).
