Chapter Overview ESRS Description The Encoder Signal Reference Simulator (ESRS) generates a digital speed reference for a motor and encoder feedback combination. In practice the ESRS would be connected to the Master Encoder input of a drive. The ESRS then generates quadrature pulses with selectable index (i.e.

Chapter Installation The ESRS is designed to be mounted in an electrical cabinet via the mounting tabs on its back panel. For all applications, this installation method should be observed. Before powering up your ESRS, make sure it has been configured correctly and that all peripheral equipment has been correctly connected to it.
Installation Mounting the ESRS The ESRS must be properly grounded to the metal enclosure panel. The following diagram shows how to ground the ESRS to the panel. Figure 2.1 Mounting and Grounding Diagram #10 AWG to Ground Bus ESRS Mounting Tab Ground Size 1/4 - 20 or M6 Internal Star Washers...

Installation recommended minimum current capacity for the external power supply is 1 Amp. The ESRS does not contain reverse supply polarity ATTENTION protection. You must observe polarity when installing the unit. Reverse supply polarity can permanently damage the ESRS. This diagram shows how to connect the ESRS to a power supply adjacent to the ESRS.

Chapter Operation General Your ESRS is fitted with a range of indicators and controls to allow easy configuration and use. This chapter explains the function and operation of these and provides additional technical data where appropriate. Indicators There are two green LED indicators provided on the ESRS front panel: OK and Enable.
Operation When Set To Bi-directional When Bi-directional Mode is selected, zero speed occurs at the center of rotation. Maximum reverse speed occurs in the MIN position and maximum forward speed occurs in the MAX position. Acceleration The Acceleration control allows the user to set the rate of motor acceleration.
Operation EXT – This setting selects a customer supplied line speed input via the EXT LINE SPEED IN input. Inputs and Outputs The following analog and digital inputs and outputs are provided. Line Speed Ref Out The ESRS provides an analog indication of commanded speed after rounding and acceleration have been applied.
Operation The Strobe Out is a square wave. Its falling edge is centered between the consecutive rising edges of the Index Pulse. Figure 3.1 ESRS Strobe and Index Pulses INDEX STROBE Ext Line Speed In This is an analog input requiring a DC voltage within the range of -10V >...
Operation The following table shows the Pin number and its signal name. Table 3.A P1 Pin Functions Pin Number Signal Name Enable Voltage, +15V Enable Voltage, 0V Enable Input Enable Input Direction Input Direction Output, 0V Enable Voltage This provides a current limited supply to power the Enable input. Enable Input This input, which is opto-isolated, allows control of the ESRS via an applied voltage in the range of 5 to 24V DC.
Operation The P2 connector is a 15 way male high density D connector. It allows you to make connection to the quadrature pulse train and index plus power (+5 and +12V DC). The following table shows the Pin Number and the matching Signal name.
Operation Setting the Option Switch You must remove the side panel of the ESRS box to gain access to the DIP switches. Removal of the side panel and setting of DIP ATTENTION switches should be performed by authorized personnel only. Proper safety precautions must be followed to reduce the risk of damage to the unit, other equipment, and health of personnel.
Operation Index Division Ratio Selection Switch 3 and Switch 4 are used to create 4 patterns based on their ON/OFF combinations. The patterns determine the pulse ranges, the pulses per revolution, and the counts per revolution. Table 3.D Index Division Ratio Selection Switch Settings for Pulse Pulses Per...
