1.1 Warnings, Cautions and Notes
A Warning contains information which is essential for avoiding a safety
hazard.
WARNING
A Caution contains information which is necessary for avoiding a risk of
damage to the product or other equipment.
CAUT ION
NOTE
A Note contains information which helps to ensure correct operation of the
product.
1.2 Important safety information. Hazards. Competence of designers and
installers
This guide applies to products which control electric motors either directly
(drives) or indirectly (controllers, option modules and other auxiliary
equipment and accessories). In all cases the hazards associated with powerful
electrical drives are present, and all safety information relating to drives
and associated equipment must be observed. Specific warnings are given at the
relevant places in this guide. Drives and controllers are intended as
components for professional incorporation into complete systems. If installed
incorrectly they may present a safety hazard. The drive uses high voltages and
currents, carries a high level of stored electrical energy, and is used to
control equipment which can cause injury. Close attention is required to the
electrical installation and the system design to avoid hazards either in
normal operation or in the event of equipment malfunction. System design,
installation, commissioning/start-up and maintenance must be carried out by
personnel who have the necessary training and competence. They must read this
safety information and this guide carefully.
1.3 Responsibility
It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the equipment is
installed correctly with regard to all instructions given in this guide. They
must give due consideration to the safety of the complete system, so as to
avoid the risk of injury both in normal operation and in the event of a fault
or of reasonably foreseeable misuse. The manufacturer accepts no liability for
any consequences resulting from inappropriate, negligent or incorrect
installation of the equipment.
1.4 Compliance with regulations
The installer is responsible for complying with all relevant regulations, such
as national wiring regulations, accident prevention regulations and
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) regulations. Particular attention must be
given to the cross-sectional areas of conductors, the selection of fuses or
other protection, and protective ground (earth) connections. This guide
contains instructions for achieving compliance with specific EMC standards.
All machinery to be supplied within the European Union in which this product
is used must comply with the following directives: 2006/42/EC Safety of
machinery. 2014/30/EU: Electromagnetic Compatibility.
1.5 Electrical hazards
The voltages used in the drive can cause severe electrical shock and/or burns,
and could be lethal. Extreme care is necessary at all times when working with
or adjacent to the drive. Hazardous voltage may be present in any of the
following locations:
· AC and DC supply cables and connections · Output cables and connections ·
Many internal parts of the drive, and external option units
Unless otherwise indicated, control terminals are single insulated and must
not be touched.
The supply must be disconnected by an approved electrical isolation device
before gaining access to the electrical connections.
The STOP and Safe Torque Off functions of the drive do not isolate dangerous
voltages from the output of the drive or from any external option unit.
The drive must be installed in accordance with the instructions given in this
guide. Failure to observe the instructions could result in a fire hazard.
1.6 Stored electrical charge
The drive contains capacitors that remain charged to a potentially lethal
voltage after the AC supply has been disconnected. If the drive has been
energized, the AC supply must be isolated at least ten minutes before work may
continue.
1.7 Mechanical hazards
Careful consideration must be given to the functions of the drive or
controller which might result in a hazard, either through their intended
behaviour or through incorrect operation due to a fault. In any application
where a malfunction of the drive or its control system could lead to or allow
damage, loss or injury, a risk analysis must be carried out, and where
necessary, further measures taken to reduce the risk – for example, an over-
speed protection device in case of failure of the speed control, or a fail-
safe mechanical brake in case of loss of motor braking.
With the sole exception of the Safe Torque Off function, none of the drive
functions must be used to ensure safety of personnel, i.e. they must not be
used for safety-related functions.
The Safe Torque Off function may be used in a safety-related application. The
system designer is responsible for ensuring that the complete system is safe
and designed correctly according to the relevant safety standards.
The design of safety-related control systems must only be done by personnel
with the required training and experience. The Safe Torque Off function will
only ensure the safety of a machine if it is correctly incorporated into a
complete safety system. The system must be subject to a risk assessment to
confirm that the residual risk of an unsafe event is at an acceptable level
for the application.
1.8 Access to equipment
Access must be restricted to authorized personnel only. Safety regulations
which apply at the place of use must be complied with.
1.9 Environmental limits
Instructions in this guide regarding transport, storage, installation and use
of the equipment must be complied with, including the specified environmental
limits. This includes temperature, humidity, contamination, shock and
vibration. Drives must not be subjected to excessive physical force.

Introduction
Mechanical Installation Electrical Installation Getting Started
1.10 Hazardous environments
The equipment must not be installed in a hazardous environment (i.e. a
potentially explosive environment).
1.11 Motor
The safety of the motor under variable speed conditions must be ensured.
To avoid the risk of physical injury, do not exceed the maximum specified
speed of the motor.
Low speeds may cause the motor to overheat because the cooling fan becomes
less effective, causing a fire hazard. The motor should be installed with a
protection thermistor. If necessary, an electric forced vent fan should be
used.
The values of the motor parameters set in the drive affect the protection of
the motor. The default values in the drive must not be relied upon. It is
essential that the correct value is entered in the Motor Rated Current
parameter.
1.12 Mechanical brake control
Any brake control functions are provided to allow well co-ordinated operation
of an external brake with the drive. While both hardware and software are
designed to high standards of quality and robustness, they are not intended
for use as safety functions, i.e. where a fault or failure would result in a
risk of injury. In any application where the incorrect operation of the brake
release mechanism could result in injury, independent protection devices of
proven integrity must also be incorporated.
1.13 Adjusting parameters
Some parameters have a profound effect on the operation of the drive. They
must not be altered without careful consideration of the impact on the
controlled system. Measures must be taken to prevent unwanted changes due to
error or tampering.
1.14 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
Installation instructions for a range of EMC environments are provided in the
relevant Power Installation Guide. If the installation is poorly designed or
other equipment does not comply with suitable standards for EMC, the product
might cause or suffer from disturbance due to electromagnetic interaction with
other equipment. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the
equipment or system into which the product is incorporated complies with the
relevant EMC legislation in the place of use.

2.1 Module information
The SI-Encoder V2 module provides a position feedback interface for the
following feedback device types: · Quadrature AB incremental encoder without
marker pulse · Tamagawa SMART-ABS/SMART-INC absolute multi-turn and single
turn encoders · Sankyo absolute multi-turn and single turn encoders
2.2 Compatible drive models
The SI-Encoder V2 module provides an encoder interface for the following
drives.

Drive Model Recommended firmware
High performance drives
Unidrive M600 & M70x Digitax HD V01.08.00 or later (V01.22.00 or later
recommended if the electronic nameplate is used)
General purpose drives
Commander C200/C300 Unidrive M200 to M400
V01.05.06 or later
2.3 Set-up parameters
All parameters associated with the option module can be found in either menu
15, 16, or 17 depending on which option slot on the drive the module is fitted
to.

In this user guide parameter references contain “mm” as a reference to the menu number. “mm” can be replaced by the menu number based on the option slot the module is fitted in. For example, a reference to Device Type (mm.038) for the module fitted in slot 3 would refer to parameter Device Type (17.038).
2.4 Compatible encoders
The following encoder types are supported
Device Type (mm.038) Encoder features
AB (0) SMART-ABS (1) Sankyo (2)
Incremental encoders with no marker connection giving incremental position
feedback which is initialised to zero at power-up and when the position
feedback interface is initialised.
Tamagawa SMART-ABS encoders which give multi-turn absolute position feedback
using a battery to retain the multiturn position. These encoders can be used
without a battery, but the multi-turn position will not be retained after
powerdown.
This option should also be selected for Tamagawa SMART-INC which give single
turn absolute position feedback. Throughout this user guide these encoders are
include in the descriptions related to SMART-ABS encoders unless any
difference is specifically mentioned.
Example devices: TS5700N8401 – SMART-ABS (16 bit turns, 23 bit position within
one turn) TS5711N240 – SMART-INC (17 bit position within one turn)
Tamagawa SMART-ABS/INC encoders support an electronic nameplate for up to 124
drive parameters.
Sankyo AP05001 multi-turn absolute encoder as used on the S-Flag 2 range of
servo motors, which gives multi-turn position feedback using a battery to
retain the multi-turn position. This encoder can be used without a battery,
but the multi-turn position will not be retained after power-down.
Sankyo encoders support an electronic nameplate for up to 16 drive parameters.
When the module is fitted to a General Purpose drive only the incremental AB
encoder is supported, for use as a reference encoder input only.
When the module is fitted to a High Performance drive any of the supported
encoder types can be used for motor control feedback in RFC-A and RFC-S modes,
or as a reference encoder input. If an incremental AB encoder is used for
motor control feedback in RFC-S mode then a phasing test must be performed
each time the encoder initialised such as at power-up, after the configuration
is changed, or after a module trip has been reset.
It should be noted that the position returned by SMART-ABS and Sankyo encoders
increases when the encoder rotates in the counter-clockwise direction, unlike
other position feedback devices supported by Control Techniques drives. The
SI-Encoder V2 module reverses the direction of rotation of these encoders so
that with default settings, the motor on which the encoder is fitted will
rotate in the clockwise direction when viewed from the motor shaft end with a
positive (forward) speed reference.

2.5 Electronic Nameplate
Tamagawa and Sankyo encoders provide some internal memory that can be used for
storing drive parameter data as an electronic nameplate. If the encoder
contains electronic nameplate data, this can be read from the encoder into the
drive by setting Parameter mm.000 to 110S1 and resetting the drive, where S
defines the slot number in which the SI-Encoder V2 module is fitted.
2.6 Position Freeze
The SI-Encoder V2 module does not have a freeze input terminal but the
position of the connected feedback device can be captured by a freeze input on
the drive or another option module (i.e. SI-Applications Plus/Compact or SI-
Universal Encoder modules). The position of the connected feedback device can
be captured on a rising or falling edge of the freeze signals and the delay of
the sensor used to trigger the freeze can also be compensated for.

Shield connection (not connected to 0V)
Multi-turn SMART-ABS and Sankyo encoders have battery connections. These are not connected to the option module but should be connected to an external battery if required.
For best noise immunity the grounding tab should be connected to ground using the minimum length of cable with the largest cross-sectional area possible, and the encoder cable shield should be connected to the dedicated shield connection (terminal 7).
For Unidrive M and Commander C drives the control circuits are isolated from the power circuits in the drive by basic insulation only, as specified in IEC60664-1. The installer must ensure that the external control circuits are insulated from human contact by at least one layer of insulation rated for use at the AC supply voltage.
If the module is to be used with Unidrive M or Commander C drives and the
control circuits are to be connected to other circuits classified WARNING as
Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) (e.g. to a personal computer), then an
additional isolating barrier must be included in order to maintain
the SELV classification.

Parameters
Diagnostics
The maximum input frequency for an AB encoder is 500 kHz. The maximum speed in
rpm for an AB encoder is given by, Maximum speed = 500kHz x 60 / Lines per
revolution
For example, the maximum speed for a 4096 line encoder would be 7324 rpm. For
details of the maximum speed of a SMART-ABS or Sankyo encoder, refer to the
relevant encoder datasheet.
4.3 Wiring, Shield connections
Shielding considerations are important for PWM drive installations due to the
high voltages and currents present in the output circuit with a very wide
frequency spectrum, typically from 0 to 20 MHz. Encoder inputs are liable to
be disturbed if careful attention is not given to managing the cable shields.
A grounding tab is present on the module and in the following cases this must
be connected to the closest possible grounding point (for example, the drive’s
heatsink) using the minimum length of cable with the largest cross-sectional
area possible.
· A communications encoder (Tamagawa SMART-ABS or Sankyo) is used · The module
is fitted to a Commander C200/300 or Unidrive M200-M400
This improves the noise immunity of the module.
To ensure correct operation, observe the following
· Use a cable with the correct impedance · Use a cable with an overall shield
· For the SI-Encoder V2 module do not connect the cable shields to 0V at the
module/drive nor at the encoder. · Directly clamp the shield to the encoder
body (no pigtail) and to the drive grounding bracket. The shield can be
terminated at terminal 7 at the
module if required. Terminal 7 is not connected to 0V. · The cable should
preferably not be interrupted. If interruptions are unavoidable, ensure the
absolute minimum length of “pigtail” in the shield
connections at each interruption. Preferably, use a connection method which
provides substantial metallic clamps for the cable shield terminations. ·
Clamp the overall shield to grounded metallic surfaces at both the encoder and
the drive, as illustrated in Figure 4-2.
NOTE
The recommendations of the encoder manufacturer must also be adhered to for
the encoder connections.
Figure 4-2 illustrates the preferred method of clamping. The outer sheath of
the cable should be stripped back enough to allow the clamp to be installed.
The shield must not be broken or opened at this point. The clamps should be
installed close to the drive or encoder, with the ground connections made to a
ground plate or similar metallic ground surface.

5 Getting Started
When setting up the SI-Encoder V2 the host drive should be disabled by
removing the Safe Torque Off (STO) or enable signals to the drive.
5.1 Auto-identification and auto-configuration
When fitted to a high performance drive and with default parameter settings,
then at each power up the SI-Encoder V2 module will attempt to automatically
identify the connected encoder, and in the event of it detecting a Tamagawa
SMART-ABS/INC or Sankyo encoder, it will auto-configure the necessary module
parameters listed below and make the encoder ready for use without any further
action.
· Device Type (mm.038) · Additional Configuration (mm.074)
If a quadrature AB encoder is connected or auto-configuration fails then Device Type (mm.038) will be set to AB (0). Lines Per Revolution (mm.034) for an AB encoder cannot be determined automatically from the encoder and must be configured manually.
5.2 Manual setup
5.2.1 AB incremental encoder setup
Follow the steps below to manually setup a quadrature incremental encoder.

AB (0)
Supply Voltage (mm.036) Lines Per Revolution (mm.034)
5V (0), 8V (1) or 15V (2)
NOTE
If output voltage from the encoder is >5 V, then the termination resistors
must be disabled by setting Termination Select (mm.039) to 0 Set to the number
of lines or pulses per revolution of the encoder
Termination Select (mm.039) Auto-configuration Select (mm.041)
1 = Terminations enabled on both the A and B channels 0 = Terminations
disabled on both the A and B channels Unless there is a specific need to
disable termination resistors such as if the encoder output voltage is greater
than 5V or if the encoder signals are daisy chained to more than one encoder
input, then it is recommended to leave them in the default condition of
enabled.
It is not necessary to change this parameter, but it can be set Disabled (0)
to prevent the
module attempting to auto-identify a SMART-ABS or Sankyo encoder.
5.2.2 Tamagawa SMART-ABS and Sankyo encoder setup (high performance drives only)

All Tamagawa SMART-ABS/INC and Sankyo encoders require a 5V power supply
Disabled (0):Use this setting for full manual setup with no auto-
identification or autoconfiguration of the encoder (Device Type (mm.038) and
Additional Configuration (mm.074) must be set manually). Full (1):Use this
setting for full auto-identification of the encoder type and auto-
configuration of the encoder settings. This is the default setting. Partial
(2):Use this setting for auto-configuration of the encoder settings but no
autoidentification of the encoder type (Device Type (mm.038) must be set
manually).
This parameter includes 2 fields as shown below.
Decimal Digits Description
2 Single Turn
1-0 Position Padding
Additional Configuration (mm.074)
Position Padding The encoder position within a turn from the encoder is a 24
bit value, however the actual data may not completely fill all 24 bits. This
padding value gives the number of left (most significant) padding bits between
0 and 23
Single Turn Set this to 1 if the encoder is a single turn device, otherwise
set to 0.
Examples: A single turn encoder with position padding of 4 bits would have the
value of 104 A multi-turn encoder with a position padding of 1 bit would have
the value of 1.

Revolution Counter (mm.028), Position (mm.029) and Fine Position (mm.030) combined give the encoder position with a resolution of 1/232 of a

Provided the encoder set-up parameters are correct, the position is always converted to units of 1/232 of a revolution, but some parts of the value may not be relevant depending on the resolution of the feedback device. For example, a 1024 line quadrature encoder produces 4096 counts per revolution. This is represented by 12 bits of information shown in the shaded area below.

Device Type (mm.038): AB
At power-up and each time the encoder is subsequently initialised the whole position represented by these three parameters is reset to zero. When the position feedback moves by more than one revolution the Revolution Counter (mm.028) increments or decrements in the form of a sixteen bit rollover counter. If required the Revolution Counter (mm.028) can be masked to remove the most significant part by defining the number of turns with Turns Bits (mm.033).
Device Type (mm.038): SMART-ABS, Sankyo
At power-up, and each time the encoder is subsequently initialised, the whole
position represented by these three parameters is set to the absolute position
of the encoder. This will then change as the encoder position changes using
the difference between the position at each sample. This gives a full 48 bit
counter that will roll over the zero boundary without a discontinuity. If
required Turns Bits (mm.033) can be used to mask the most significant part of
the revolution counter, so that the maximum value is equal to the number of
turns from the encoder. For example, if a SMART-INC encoder is used, which
gives no turns information, Turns Bits (mm.033) can be set to zero so that
Revolution Counter (mm.028) is always zero.

It is sometimes desirable to mask off the most significant bits of Revolution Counter (mm.028), but this does not have to be done for the drive to function correctly. If Turns Bits (mm.033) = 0 the whole of Revolution Counter (mm.028) is held at zero. If Turns Bits (mm.033) has any other value it indicates the number of bits in Revolution Counter (mm.028) that are not held at zero. For example, if Turns Bits (mm.033) = 5, then Revolution Counter (mm.028) counts up to 31 before being reset.

This parameter sets the level for the encoder power supply output voltage on terminal 5. To ensure that the maximum voltage for the position feedback device is not accidentally exceeded, the device should be disconnected from the module when the level is being adjusted.
If the output voltage is set to greater than 5 V and the signals from the encoder are also greater than 5V then the input terminations should be disabled, by setting Termination Select (mm.039) to 0, to prevent PSU Overload (102) trips or overloading of the termination resistors. If standby mode is enabled in the drive, i.e. Standby Mode Enable (06.060) = 1 and the appropriate mask bit set in Standby Mode Mask (06.061), the power supply output is turned off when standby mode becomes active.

This parameter should be set up to match the device connected to the option module. If Auto-configuration Select (mm.041) = Full (1) an attempt will be made to automatically detect the encoder that is connected to this option module. See Auto-configuration Select (mm.041) for more details.
NOTE
If this option module is fitted to a general purpose drive it can only be used
with an AB type encoder. If a SMART-ABS or Sanko encoder is selected then a
Compatibility (117) trip is initiated and the interface for an AB type encoder
will remain active.
AB
This is an incremental encoder, and only the A and B quadrature signals can be
connected. The position is zero at power-up (or encoder reinitialisation) and
accumulates the change of position from that point on, and so the position is
incremental and not absolute. These devices are suitable for motor control in
RFC-A mode. They can also be used for RFC-S mode, but some form of phasing
auto-tune is required each time the position feedback is initialised.
SMART-ABS
This setting should be used for both Tamagawa SMART-ABS and SMART-INC
encoders. SMART-ABS encoders use digital communications to provide absolute
multi-turn position feedback using a back-up battery to retain the turns
information. SMART-INC encoders operate in the same way, but do not use
battery back-up and only provide absolute position within one turn. These
encoders use an identification byte (ENID) so that the option module can
automatically detect which device is connected during auto-configuration. The
table below gives the identification bytes that can be recognised and the
format of the device.

For these encoders to function correctly Additional Configuration (mm.074) must be set up to indicate if the encoder is single or multi-turn, and to give the position padding related to the resolution. If Auto-configuration Select (mm.041) is left at its default value of Full (1) or set to Partial (2) then this parameter is set-up automatically for a supported device on power-up and each time the device is re-initialised when one of the supported devices is connected.
Sankyo Sankyo AP05001 communication encoder provides absolute multi-turn position feedback using battery back-up to retain the turns information. The ENID value for this device is 0x00. Additional Configuration (mm.074) must be set up to indicate this is a multi-turn device, and to give the position padding related to the resolution. If Auto-configuration Select (mm.041) is left at its default value of Full (1) or set to Partial (2) then this parameter is set-up automatically if an AP05001 encoder is connected on power- up and each time the device is re-initialised.

*Each bit is only active for the range of encoder types shown.
Bit 0: Enable wire break detection (1 as default) It may be important to
detect a break in the connections between the module and the encoder. This is
accomplished with hardware detectors on the A and B signals that detect a wire
break. This is enabled by setting Bit 0 to 1. NOTE: if the termination
resistors are not enabled in Termination Select (mm.039), the wire break
system will not operate.
Bit 1: Disable multi-turn counter overflow detection (1 as default) Multi-turn
counter overflow detection occurs if the multi-turn position crosses the 32767
-32768 boundary and initiates a Counter Overflow trip. This trip can be
disabled by setting Bit 1 to 1.
Bit 2: Disable encoder over-temperature detection (1 as default) If the
internal encoder temperature rises above the detection threshold defined
within the encoder then an Encoder Temp trip is initiated. This trip can be
disabled by setting Bit 2 to 1.
Bit 3: Disable multi-turn error detection If the encoder detects a multi-turn
error a Multi-turn Error trip is initiated. This trip can be disabled by
setting Bit 3 to 1.
Bit 4: Disable low battery detection If the battery voltage falls below the
detection threshold of the encoder when the encoder is powered down then a Low
Battery trip is initiated when the drive powers up again. This trip can be
disabled by setting Bit 4 to 1. Setting this bit to 1 also disables the alarm
that indicates the battery is below the allowed threshold when the encoder is
powered up.
Bit 5: Disable over-speed detection (1 as default) If this bit is set then the
over-speed detection from the encoder is ignored, and Over-Speed trip is
disabled. This is disabled as default in case the encoder is being operated
with no battery as this can result in incorrect detection of over-speed.
During over-speed conditions the multi-turn data can become incorrect. If a
battery is being used then this trip can be enabled if required.
Bit 6: Disable low resolution indication (1 as default) If this bit is set
then the low resolution indication from the encoder is ignored, and Low
Resolution trip is disabled.
See section 7 Diagnostics on page 27 on page for a list of the trips that can
be initiated by this option module.

If this parameter is left at its default value of Full (1) then the following procedure is carried out to detect the type of position feedback device connected to the module.
1. If this option module is fitted to a general purpose drive Device Type
(mm.038) is set to AB (0) and the detection process is terminated. 2. If the
terminations are disabled (i.e. Termination Select (mm.039) = 0) then Device
Type (mm.038) is set to AB (0) and the detection process is
terminated. 3. The wire break detection on both the A and B inputs for an AB
incremental encoder is checked and if this shows that either input is
connected to
an encoder output it is assumed an AB encoder is connected. Therefore, Device
Type (mm.038) is set to AB (0) and the detection process is terminated. (If
only one input is connected the drive will initiate a Wire break A or Wire
break B trip because the drive will be set up for an AB encoder, but one input
is not connected.) 4. The drive will wait for the time defined by Additional
Power-up Delay (mm.049) plus 1.5s. 5. The auto-detection system attempts to
communicate with a SMART-ABS and then a Sankyo encoder connected to the A
input of the option module. If this is not successful Device Type (mm.038) is
set to AB (0) and the detection process is terminated. Otherwise, Device Type
(mm.038) is set to SMART-ABS (1) or Sankyo (2) depending on the type of
encoder detected. 6. If the encoder is a SMART-ABS or Sankyo encoder the drive
attempts to read the identifier and uses this information to set up Additional
Configuration (mm.074). If the identifier cannot be obtained these parameters
are left at their default values and an Encoder ID Error trip is initiated.
The action for each of the values of this parameter is given below.

This parameter defines the time period for a sliding window filter that can be applied to the feedback. This is particularly useful in applications where the encoder is used to give speed feedback for the speed controller and where the load includes a high inertia, and so the speed controller gains are very high. Under these conditions, without a filter on the feedback, it is possible for the speed loop output to change constantly from one current limit to the other and lock the integral term of the speed controller.

The speed feedback from the position feedback interface can be used as a source to control a parameter. The speed feedback is scaled to give a value as a percentage of Maximum Reference (mm.043) in 0.1 % units which is displayed in Reference (mm.045). The value is then scaled by Reference Scaling (mm.044) and routed to the destination defined by Reference Destination (mm.046). The destination target parameter is updated every 250µs in a high performance drive, or every 20ms in a general purpose drive. Although Reference Destination (mm.046) can be changed at any time, the destination target is only updated on drive reset. In a general purpose drive the speed feedback is filtered over 16ms before being used and the resolution applied to the destination parameter is 0.1% of the maximum value. In a high performance drive the output of the speed feedback filter defined by Feedback Filter (mm.042) is used so that the filter time constant can be defined. The resolution is limited by the resolution of the destination parameter or the internal representation of speed (55.9×10-6 rpm) whichever is the larger.

This position cannot be read atomically without locking the position feedback (Position Feedback Lock (mm.050) = 1) and it cannot be used directly by the Advanced Motion Controller in the drive. It is useful to be able to create 32 bit position values that can be held by a single parameter as this value can be accessed atomically and can be used directly by the Advanced Motion Controller. This parameter defines the number of turns bits included in the Normalised Position (mm.058).

there is no data.
Device Type (mm.038): SMART-ABS, Sankyo If this parameter is set to one it is
possible to use User Comms Transmit Register (mm.068) and User Comms Receive
Register (mm.069) to communicate with the encoder. The following should be
noted:
1. The user comms system is disabled if the position feedback device is not
initialised. 2. The user comms system exchange will replace a message that is
used to obtain position feedback, and so the position feedback from the
previous exchange will be used for two samples. To minimise the disturbance
the user comms system exchange will not be placed in the exchange that is
carried out every 250 µs to obtain the position used to derive the speed
feedback and Normalised Position (mm.058). However, if the encoder is being
used as feedback for motor control there could be a disturbance in the
position used to align the current controllers. This could give a small
transient in the torque applied to the motor and will become worse as the
drive output frequency increases. Although the user comms system can be used
when the drive is enabled, to avoid any possible transients the user comms
system should be used when the drive is disabled.

This system only allows reading or writing the internal memory within the encoder. The messages sent and received are processed by the option module before they are sent to the encoder and the response is processed before it is put into the receive buffer. This allows the option module to prevent access to areas of memory that are not allowed. To send a message to the encoder the required message must be written to the transmit register (User Comms Transmit Register (mm.068)). The message is stored into an internal buffer by writing a series of 16 bit values into User Comms Transmit Register (mm.068). The least significant byte of each value contains the message, and the most significant byte contains control bits described in the table below. When the option module sees a non-zero value in User Comms Transmit Register (mm.068) it reads it and then clears User Comms Transmit Register (mm.068) to zero.
Bit Function
15 Should always be written as one to indicate data to be read by the option module.
14 This should be one when the last byte of the message is written.
13
This should be one when the first byte of the message is written to the transmit register. Setting this bit will reset the pointer to the start of the internal buffer.
Once the message is sent to the encoder (triggered by setting bit 14 in the transmit message) the option module stores the response in an internal buffer. The response can be read from User Comms Receive Register (mm.069). This parameter can be read at any time. The least significant byte of the value contains the message bytes and the most significant byte contains the status bits described in the table below. When User Comms Receive Register (mm.069) has been read it should be written as zero, so that the option module knows to write to this parameter again.
Bit Function
15 There is still data in the receive buffer.
14 This is the last byte from the receive message.
13
There is no data in the receive buffer and the LS byte is the comms system status. This bits in the comms status remains set until a new exchange is started by writing to User Comms Transmit Register (mm.068).
The table below gives the meaning of the system status bits. Unlike the continuous message exchange that is used to give the position feedback the message exchanges via the user comms system do not initiate a trip if an error occurs.
Bit Function
0
An attempt has been made to send a message with the incorrect number of bytes.
1
Not used.
2
An attempt has been made to send a message with an unsupported control field.
3
Cannot communicate because the encoder is not initialised or the encoder does not support communications.
4
An attempt has been made to access an address that is not allowed. This includes trying to write to a read-only address.
5
The encoder continued to indicate it was in the busy state (i.e. writing) after the 100ms allowed timeout.
The following sequence should always be followed to ensure that the received
data is read correctly.
1. Check that User Comms Receive Register (mm.069) is not zero. 2. Check that
User Comms Transmit Register (mm.068) is zero. 3. Write each word of the
transmit message to User Comms Transmit Register (mm.068) in turn, waiting
each time for the drive to return
User Comms Transmit Register (mm.068) back to zero before writing the next
word. 4. Once the whole transmit message has been written, write zero to User
Comms Receive Register (mm.069). 5. Read User Comms Receive Register (mm.069).
When it is non-zero this parameter has been updated with a value from the
internal receive
buffer. 6. Store the non-zero value and then write zero to User Comms Receive
Register (mm.069) and if the end of the receive message has not been
reached go to step 5 above to wait for this parameter to be updated again.
The above sequence must be followed to obtain the correct data in the receive message. It is not essential that any or all of the receive message is read before sending a new transmit message, and so steps 4 to 6 can be omitted if required provided step 1 is not ignored.
To read a memory address the transmit and receive messages contain the following bytes:
Transmit: Receive:
0x0D 0x0D
Page Page
Address Address
Any value Data
To write a memory address the transmit and receive messages contain the following bytes:
Transmit: Receive:
0x06 0x06
Page Page
Address Address
Data Data
If an error occurs there will still be a receive message in the buffer. In response to a read command the data will be zero. When the message has been read User Comms Receive Register (mm.069) will show the status and the status bits will indicate the reason for the error.

Errors detected by the encoder are shown in Position Feedback Signals (mm.070). Most of these errors are latched and require a special reset to remove them. It is important that these errors are not simply removed by a normal drive reset without further user intervention because the multi-turn position may be incorrect. To remove the detected error indication from within the encoder and clear the trip this parameter must be set to either 1 or 2 and the drive should be reset to clear the trip and re-initialise the encoder. Alternatively, this parameter can be set to 1 or 2 and the encoder can be initialised with Initialise Position Feedback Devices (03.075), but this will only internally reset the encoder and initialise it, and not clear the trip. The type of reset performed is given in the table below.

This parameter contains a flag that represents the initialisation state of the encoder connected to the option module. When this parameter is “On” it indicates that any power-up sequence for the device has been completed and the device is operating normally and providing position feedback. This is also reflected in parameter Position Feedback Initialised (03.076) in the drive which shows the initialisation state of all available position feedback devices in the drive and option modules. The encoder is initialised at power- up, when the drive is reset and the encoder is uninitialised and when position feedback initialisation is specifically requested.

This parameter defines the edges of the freeze signal used to trigger freeze events. 0: Rising 1st Freeze events are produced on the rising edge of the freeze signal.

When a freeze event occurs the encoder position is stored and can be accessed as a 32 bit normalised value in Normalised Freeze Position (mm.103). This position is normalised in the same way as Normalised Position (mm.058). For AB encoders the position is captured at the freeze event using a hardware system. For SMART-ABS or Sankyo encoders the time of the freeze event is captured with hardware and then interpolation, based on the change of position during the previous 250 µs period, is used to estimate the position at the freeze event.

Any delay in the sensor used to trigger a freeze event will cause the freeze
position to advance (giving a larger freeze position) in the forward direction
or retard (giving a smaller freeze position) in the reverse direction compared
to the actual physical position. This effect becomes worse as the speed is
increased. The error is given by:
Freeze Error = (Speed (rpm) / 60) x 2Normalised Position Bits x Sensor Time
Delay
Normalised Position Bits is the number of bits representing one turn given by: Normalised Position Bits = 32 Normalisation Turns (mm.057)
The time delay due to the drive and option module electronics is less than 500
ns for either the digital I/O or the marker inputs. However, external sensors
can significantly increase the delay. Freeze Sensor Delay (mm.114) can be used
to cancel the effect of the sensor delay and prevent unwanted advancing or
retarding to the freeze position at higher speeds.

This alarm is only applicable to SMART-ABS and Sankyo encoders.
Solution Check that the backup battery supply to the encoder is connected and

The external encoder battery voltage to a SMART-ABS or Sankyo encoder has
fallen below the allowed threshold when the encoder power from the drive was
off. The battery is used to maintain the multi-turn position while the encoder
is not powered. Therefore, the multi-turn position may be incorrect if this
trip occurs.
This trip is disabled by default but can be enabled if required by clearing
Bit 1 in Error Detection Level (mm.040).
The encoder is indicating a fault and may need to be replaced.
If the encoder identifier cannot be recognised disable auto-configuration and
set up the drive parameters manually. The internal temperature detector level
can be changed by modifying a parameter in the encoder. To prevent this trip
either modify the threshold or disable the trip by setting Bit 2 in Error
Detection Level (mm.040).
If this trip occurs the battery voltage was below the allowed threshold when
the encoder power was not present. If a battery is being used then replace the

A SMART-INC single turn encoder may give a low resolution indication on power- up depending on the initial position. After some encoder movement the encoder resolution is automatically increased to the required level and the indication is removed.
Single turn encoder: The trip associated with this indication is disabled by default. Low resolution only occurs for the first small movement, and so this trip does not need to be enabled.
A SMART-ABS multi-turn encoder will give this indication if the encoder was
rotating above 100rpm at power-up because this causes the position resolution
to be reduced. If the speed is reduced below 100rpm the encoder resolution is
automatically increased to the required level and the indication is removed
Indicated by Bit 1 of Position Feedback Signals (mm.070).
Multi-turn encoder: The trip associated with this indication is disabled by default as it is only required when there is a possibility that the encoder could be rotating above 100rpm at power-up.

The maximum allowed speed for SMART-ABS and Sankyo encoders when powered up or operating with battery back-up is 6000rpm. In RFC-A and RFC-S modes the drive speed references are limited to 6000rpm if this option module is used for motor control and a SMART-ABS or Sankyo encoder is selected. However, if the encoder is operated at speeds in excess of 6000rpm this trip may be initiated indicating that the encoder position is unreliable.
Do not operate outside the allowed range for the encoder. Ensure that the encoder is stationary at power-up. This trip is disabled by setting Bit 5 in Error Detection Level (mm.040).
