ENDAT/SSI, SIN-COS OPTION BOARD OPTBE
OPTBE layout and description
- Description: Encoder board for VACON® NXP with input for EnDat/551 absolute encoder and Sin/Cos type encoder.
- Allowed slots: C, D, E [Sin/Cos signals can only be used in slot Cl Type ID 16965
- Terminals: One terminal block; Screw terminals IM2.6l: No coding.
- Jumpers: X1 and X2 see ]
- Board parameters: Yes
An absolute encoder is a type of encoder capable of specifying its absolute position. The position data is retained even during a power failure or breakdown. The position data carried by the absolute encoder can be used by the AC drive in motor control and position control applications. Sin/Cos encoder produces a pair of analog sinusoidal signals. There are several sine cycles (for example 1024 or 2048) per mechanical revolution.
EnDat is a bidirectional synchronous serial interface for encoders. For example, the absolute encoder position data can be read and encoder parameters can be set via the EnDat connection. It also forwards the messages related to the encoder functions. All EnDat connections are available in terminal X6. The board uses EnDat version 2.1. 551 [Synchronous Serial Interface) is a single directional interface for transmitting absolute position value. The absolute position value beginning with the Most Significant Bit (MSB first] is transferred on the DATA lines in synchronism with a CLOCK signal transmitted by the control. The SSI standard data word length for single turn absolute encoders is 13 bits and for multiturn absolute encoders 25 bits. More information on EnDat/SSI: http://www.heidenhain.com.
OPTBE jumpers
NOTE! It is recommended to use a 12 V or 15 V supply voltage instead of 5 V. OPTBE interface does not support the “sense” function to compensate for voltage drop with long cabling. Therefore with 5 V supply voltage the cable length limit is about 60 meters with 0.5 mm2 wire section. With 5 V supply voltage, it is recommended to use two or more wires in parallel for the supply connection. Jumper X1 selects encoder supply voltage on the OPTBE board, see jumper settings below:
Jumper X2 selects Sin/Cos signals connection on the OPTBE board, see jumper settings below:
NOTE! Be careful with the jumper settings, wrong settings may damage the encoder.
OPTBE LEDs
There are two LEDs on the OPTBE board:
- Yellow LED (Board Status LED)
- Slow blinking-> Board state is ready
- Fast blinking-> Board state is faulted
- Green LED [Encoder LED]
- ON-> Encoder serial communication is OK
- OFF-> No serial connection to encoder
1/0 terminals on OPTBE, encoder terminal X6
Analog Sin/Cos signals deserve some more precautions for noise immunity than pulse encoders. It is recommended to use a cable that contains an individual shield for each twisted pair. Use one pair for SIN+/SIN- signals, another pair for COS+/COS- signals, another pair for DATA+/DATA- signals and another pair for CLOCK+/CLOCK- signals.
OPTBE Parameters
Notes for selecting Operating Mode: In modes “EnDat + Sin/Cos” and
“SSl+Sin/Cos” Sin/Cos signals and absolute serial information are used:
- Modes can be used in VACON® NXP option board slot C.
- Closed loop motor control mode can be used.
- Jumper X2 is installed into the OPTBE board because Sin/Cos signals are used.
In modes “Endat Only” and “SSI Only”, only the absolute serial information is used:
- Modes can be used in VACON® NXP option board slots C, D and E.
- Closed loop motor control mode cannot be used. Usage of closed-loop in these modes causes
- Fault 43 [Encoder fault] with Subcode 10.
- Jumper X2 is removed from the OPTBE board because Sin/Cos signals are not used.

OPTAK jumper settings
NOTE! It is recommended to use a 12 V or 15 V supply voltage instead of 5 V.
OPT AK interface does not support the “sense” function to compensate for
voltage drop with long cabling. Therefore with 5 V supply voltage the cable
length limit is about 60 meters with 0.5 mm2 wire section. With 5 V supply
voltage, it is recommended to use two or more wires in parallel for the supply
connection. Jumper X1 selects encoder supply voltage on the OPT AK board, see
jumper settings below:
NOTE! Be careful with the jumper setting, wrong voltage may damage the encoder.

INSTALLATION
WARNING
Internal components and circuit boards are at high potential when the AC
drive is connected to the power source. This voltage is extremely dangerous
and may cause death or severe injury if you come into contact with it.
Installing option boards
Option boards OPTBE, OPTAK and OPTAR can only be used with VACON® NXP drives.
OPTAK and OPTAR can be connected to slot C. OPTBE board can be connected to
slots C, and Dor E, but Sin/Cos signals can only be used in slot C. If OPTBE
board is connected to slots Dor E, the Sin/Cos signals have to be disconnected
using the jumpers (see chapter 1.21. Disconnect the drive from the mains
before starting the installation.
