  • Page 37: Square Wave Encoder (Primary)

    XL2e Hardware Manual 2.3.1.1. Square Wave Encoder (Primary) 2.3.1.1. Square Wave Encoder (Primary) The drive accepts RS-422 square wave encoder signals. The drive will generate a feedback fault if it detects an invalid signal state caused by an open or shorted signal connection. Use twisted-pair wiring for the highest performance and noise immunity.
  • Page 38: Absolute Encoder (Primary)

    2.3.1.2. Absolute Encoder (Primary) XL2e Hardware Manual 2.3.1.2. Absolute Encoder (Primary) The drive retrieves absolute position data along with encoder fault information through a serial data stream from the absolute encoder. Use twisted-pair wiring for the highest performance and noise immunity.

  • Page 41: Hall-Effect Inputs

    XL2e Hardware Manual 2.3.2. Hall-Effect Inputs 2.3.2. Hall-Effect Inputs The Hall-effect switch inputs are recommended for AC brushless motor commutation but not absolutely required. The Hall-effect inputs accept 5 VDC level signals. Hall states (0,0,0) or (1,1,1) are invalid and will generate a "Hall Fault" axis fault.
  • Page 42: Thermistor Input

    2.3.3. Thermistor Input XL2e Hardware Manual 2.3.3. Thermistor Input The thermistor input is used to detect a motor over temperature condition by using a positive temperature coefficient sensor. As the temperature of the sensor increases, so does the resistance. Under normal operating conditions, the resistance of the thermistor is low which will result in a low input signal.
  • Page 43: Encoder Fault Input

    XL2e Hardware Manual 2.3.4. Encoder Fault Input 2.3.4. Encoder Fault Input The encoder fault input is for use with encoders that have a fault output. This is provided by some manufacturers and indicates a loss of encoder function. The active state of this input is parameter configurable and the controller should be configured to disable the axis when the fault level is active.

  • Page 51: Sto Functional Description

    XL2e Hardware Manual 2.4. Safe Torque Off Input (STO) 2.4.2. STO Functional Description The motor can only be activated when voltage is applied to both STO 1 and STO 2 inputs. The STO state will be entered if power is removed from either the STO 1 or the STO 2 inputs. When the STO state is entered, the motor cannot generate torque or force and is therefore considered safe.
  • Page 52: Sto Startup Validation Testing

    2.4. Safe Torque Off Input (STO) XL2e Hardware Manual Non-standard STO delay times are provided by special factory order. In this case, the non-standard STO delay time is indicated by a label placed on the slice amplifier’s main connector (STO DELAY = xx sec).
  • Page 53: Sto Diagnostics

    XL2e Hardware Manual 2.4. Safe Torque Off Input (STO) 2.4.4. STO Diagnostics Activation of STO means removing power from the drive’s STO inputs. This is typically done by pressing the emergency stop switch. The drive initiates a diagnostic check every time the STO is activated after the Diagnostic Test Delay Time has elapsed.
