  • Page 24: Io And Signal Wiring Requirements

    Installation and Configuration Ensemble LAB Hardware Manual 2.2.2. IO and Signal Wiring Requirements The I/O, communication, and encoder feedback connections are typically very low power connections. In some applications, especially when there are significant wire distances, a larger wire size may be required to reduce the voltage drop that occurs along the wire.
  • Page 25: Minimizing Conducted, Radiated, And System Noise

    5. The Ensemble LAB is a component designed to be integrated with other electronics. EMC testing must be conducted on the final product configuration. 6. Ferrite beads or Aerotech’s FBF-1 or FBF-2 filter adapters, may be used on the motor leads to reduce the effects of amplifier EMI/RFI, produced by PWM (pulse width modulation) amplifiers.

  • Page 27: Encoder Interface

    Installation and Configuration 2.3.1. Encoder Interface The Ensemble LAB is equipped with standard and auxiliary encoder feedback channels. The standard encoder interface is accessible through the feedback connector. The standard interface is a line driver encoder that will accept an RS-422 differential line driver signal. If the drive had been purchased with the - MXU or -MXR option, the standard encoder interface has been configured to accept an analog encoder.
  • Page 28: Rs-422 Line Driver Encoder (Standard)

    Installation and Configuration Ensemble LAB Hardware Manual 2.3.1.1. RS-422 Line Driver Encoder (Standard) The standard encoder interface accepts an RS-422 differential quadrature line driver signal. Invalid or missing signals will cause a feedback fault when the axis is enabled. An analog encoder is used with the -MXU or -MXR option (refer to Section 2.3.1.2.
  • Page 29: Analog Encoder Interface

    Ensemble LAB Hardware Manual Installation and Configuration 2.3.1.2.

  • Page 34: Thermistor Interface

    Installation and Configuration Ensemble LAB Hardware Manual 2.3.3. Thermistor Interface The thermistor input is used to detect an over temperature condition in a motor 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 (i.e., 100 ohms) which will result in a low input...
  • Page 35: End Of Travel Limit Input Interface

    Ensemble LAB Hardware Manual Installation and Configuration 2.3.4. End of Travel Limit Input Interface End of Travel (EOT) limits are required to define the end of the physical travel on linear axes. Positive or clockwise motion is stopped by the clockwise (CW) end of travel limit input. Negative or counterclockwise motion is stopped by the counterclockwise (CCW) end of travel limit input.
  • Page 36: End Of Travel Limit Phasing

    Installation and Configuration Ensemble LAB Hardware Manual 2.3.4.1. End of Travel Limit Phasing If the EOT limits are reversed, you will be able to move further into a limit but be unable to move out. To correct this, swap the connections to the CW and CCW inputs at the motor feedback connector. The logic level of the EOT limit inputs may be viewed in the diagnostic display.
