NORDAC SK 530E with PosiCon funktion 2 Encoder connection Encoder connection 2.1 Incremental encoder connection The incremental encoder connection is an input for a type with two tracks and with TTL-compatible signals for drivers as per EIA RS 422. The maximum current consumption of the incremental encoder must not exceed 150mA.

The SK 530E supports CANopen absolute encoders with the communication profile DS 406. If an absolute encoder authorised by Firma Getriebebau Nord is used, then automatic parameterisation of the encoder via the SK 530E is possible. The CAN address and baud rate of the encoder must be set at the encoder using the rotary or dip switch All other necessary parameters can be set by the SK 530E via the CAN bus in the encoder.
NORDAC SK 530E with PosiCon function 2.2.3 Assignment of CAN interface in SK 530E The 24V supply for the absolute encoder and for the CAN-Bus/CANopen interfaces must be implemented via an external voltage supply. For the terminal assignment please refer to the operating instructions of the encoder manufacturer.
NORDAC SK 530E with PosiCon funktion 3 Function description Function description 3.1 Introduction Numerous positioning and position control tasks can be resolved with the positioning function. To facilitate the decision about which configuration the task can be best resolved with, the various methods for setpoint specification and actual value acquisition are presented below.
NORDAC SK 530E with PosiCon function 3.2.1.1 Reference point run via digital inputs or BUS I/O In Bits The reference point run is started via one of the 7 digital inputs or one of the Bus IO In Bits. To do this, a digital input must be programmed to the corresponding function (P420-P425 or P460 "Digital input function", setting 22).
NORDAC SK 530E with PosiCon funktion 3 Function description 3.2.1.2 Reset Position via digital inputs or BUS I/O In Bits Alternatively to the reference point run, one of the digital inputs can be programmed to the setting "Reset Position" (P420-P425 or P470, setting 61). Control via one of the Bus IO In Bits is correspondingly identical. In contrast to the function reference point , the input or the Bus IO In Bit is always effective and sets the actual position during a signal change from 0 →...
NORDAC SK 530E with PosiCon function 3.2.2.1 Resetting the CANopen absolute encoder Using the two functions "Reference point run" (see Chapter 3.2.1.1) and "Reset Position" (see Chapter 3.2.1.2), a CANopen absolute encoder can also be run to the value "0" or the value set in parameter P609 [02] "Offset actual position".
NORDAC SK 530E with PosiCon funktion 3 Function description 3.2.2.3 Parameterisation in the SK 530E The settings appropriate to the CANopen absolute encoder must be parameterised using the parameters P514 "CAN baud rate" and P515 "CAN address". ATTENTION Before the CANopen absolute encoder can be connected to the frequency inverter, the parameters P514 "CAN baud rate"...
NORDAC SK 530E with PosiCon function 3.2.2.5 Encoder error If a CANopen encoder is parameterised in SK 530E and the position control is switched on in parameter P600 "Position control", the function of the encoder is constantly monitored. If the "Position control" P600 is not switched on, the encoder is position is displayed but no error messages will be generated if there is a problem.
3 Function description 3.2.4 Positioning with absolute/incremental encoders in absolute mode 3.2.4.1 Optimal path position during an encoder revolution The problem with rotary tables where the individual positions are distributed around the circumference is that, generally, the optimal path travel should always be set from each position to another position. In standard positioning however, the drive would select the long travel path "around the edge"...
NORDAC SK 530E with PosiCon function 3.2.4.2 Optimal path position for any encoder revolution If more than one encoder revolution is required for the entire travel path, the overrun point must be determined. This is half of the entire travel path. The value must be entered in parameter P615 "Maximum position". It must be noted that the accuracy of the value may only be to a maximum of three decimal places.
NORDAC SK 530E with PosiCon function 3.3.2 Position increment array – relative setpoint position via digital inputs or BUS I/O In Bits The position setpoint mode "Position increment array" is particularly suitable for endless axes. The setting in parameter P610 "Setpoint mode" for function 1 = "Position increment array" must be parameterised for this. An input signal can be assigned to each of the 4 parameterisable position increment array elements for up to 4 digital inputs or Bus IO In Bits.
3 Function description 3.4 Teach-In function via digital inputs or BUS I/O In Bits The parameterisation of the absolute setpoint positions (position array) can be implemented via the function "Teach-In“" alternatively to direct input. Two inputs are required for "Teach-In" via digital inputs or Bus IO In Bits. One input or one of the parameters P420 –...
NORDAC SK 530E with PosiCon function 3.6 Position control functions (P600) There are four possible positioning variants. Linear ramp with maximum frequency (Setting (1)) The acceleration is linear. The speed of the constant run is always carried out with the "Maximum frequency" set in parameter P105.
3 Function description 3.7 Position control Position control works as a P-control circuit. Setpoint and actual positions are continuously compared with each other. The setpoint frequency is determined by the multiplication of this difference with the parameter P611 "P pos. control".
NORDAC SK 530E with PosiCon function 3.8 Output signals 3.8.1 Multifunction relays (P434, 441) and digital outputs (P450, P455) The SK 530E has two multifunction relays and two digital outputs where a function can be parameterised for each one. The following functions are available for the positioning function on both relays or outputs: Reference (setting (20)) The relay/output signals that a valid reference point is present.

5 Commissioning Commissioning When commissioning PosiCon applications, it is recommended that a specific sequence is followed. The individual steps are described below. Information about special error screens can also be found in Chapter 7, Troubleshooting. 1. step: Starting the axis without regulation After all parameters are input, the axis must be started up initially without position and speed control.
NORDAC SK 530E with PosiCon funktion Synchronous control 6.1 General Synchronous control with the SK 530E can be implemented by coupling the devices via CAN bus. The master device sends its "actual position" and "actual setpoint speed after frequency ramp" to the slave device(s). The slave devices use this speed as the lead and synchronise the rest via the position control.
6 Synchronous control The following settings are required for communication between master and slave via CANopen bus. Master device settings: P502[01] Setpoint frequency after frequency ramp P502[02] Actual position Inc. High Word P502[03] Actual position Inc. Low Word P503 CANopen P505 0.0 Hz P514...
NORDAC SK 530E with PosiCon funktion 6.5 Taking into account the ratio between master and slave A ratio between master and slave can be taken into account with the parameters P607 "Ratio" and P608 "Ratio reduction". The ratio is entered into the values of the encoder not being used. In general, in the absolute encoder (P607 [02] and P608 [02]).
6 Synchronous control 6.8 Comments regarding reference point runs during synchronisation If the slave axis is referenced independently from the master axis, the following must be noted: The slave obtains the setpoint speed as a lead from the master. If the master is not running, the slave would not receive the setpoint for the reference point run.
