Supported Feedback Type - ABB MicroFlex e190 User Manual

86 Electrical installation: input / output

Supported feedback type

Various feedback types are offered as options on linear and rotary servo motors, the
feedback types supported by MicroFlex e190 include the incremental encoder, EnDat
2.1, SinCos, BiSS-B, SSI, EnDat 2.2, Smart Abs absolute encoder, Hiperface
encoder and resolvers (supported by using the optional resolver adapter, see page
85).
When selecting an encoder, you need to determine which type of encoder feedback
is required in order to be compatible with the drive that will be receiving the encoder
signals. Choosing the wrong encoder type will result in a non-functional system and
possibly hardware damage.
The right feedback type for your application is automatically set when the motor is
selected in Mint WorkBench.The Mint keyword ENCODERTYPE can also be used to
define the feedback type of encoder input. Moreover, MicroFlex e190 supports two
different types of incremental encoder signal inputs, see more details below.
