HTL encoder
11.18.1
HTL encoder
In case of the inverter i550, the digital inputs DI3 and DI4 can be configured as HTL input to
evaluate the signal of a cost-effective HTL encoder or a reference frequency ("pulse train").
An HTL encoder can be used at the Inverter i550 for the following tasks:
As motor encoder for a motor speed feedback for speed control as precise as possible.
•
As setpoint encoder for defining a frequency setpoint.
•
As setpoint encoder for defining the reference value for the process controller.
•
As setpoint encoder for defining a torque setpoint.
•
As actual value encoder for the process controller.
•
As actual value encoder for the "position counter" function.
•
Preconditions
Single-track or two-track HTL encoder.
•
A single-track HTL encoder (track A) cannot be used for motor speed feedback.
•
A two-track HTL encoder (track A and B) must have a phase offset of exactly 90°
•
between track A and B (error ≤ ±10°). Inverted tracks are not required.
Encoder increments: ≤ 16384 increments per revolution
•
For supplying the encoder, the maximum supply current of the inverter must be consid-
•
ered. If necessary, an external 24-V voltage supply for the encoder is required.
Restrictions
When the digital inputs DI3 and DI4 are configured as HTL input, these two digital inputs
•
are no longer available for other control functions.
The HTL input can be either used for detecting an HTL encoder signal or a pulse train. They
•
cannot be used at the same time.
The maximum input frequency of the digital inputs is 100 kHz. If this frequency is excee-
•
ded, an error is triggered.
