WARNING
DISCHARGE TIME
The frequency converter contains DC-link capacitors, which
can remain charged even when the frequency converter is
not powered. High voltage can be present even when the
warning LED indicator lights are
specied time after power has been removed before
performing service or repair work can result in death or
serious injury.
Stop the motor.
•
Disconnect AC mains and remote DC-link power
•
supplies, including battery back-ups, UPS, and DClink connections to other frequency converters.
Disconnect or lock PM motor.
•
Wait for the capacitors to discharge fully. The
•
minimum duration of waiting time is specied in
Tabl e 1.4 and is also visible on the product label on
top of the frequency converter.
Before performing any service or repair work, use
•
an appropriate voltage measuring device to make
sure that the capacitors are fully discharged.
Supply the encoder through the VLT® Encoder Option MCB 102. Avoid using external supply for the encoder.
Encoder monitor
The 4 encoder channels (A, B, Z, and D) are monitored, open, and short circuits can be detected. There is a green LED for each
channel which lights up when the channel is OK.
NOTICE
To view the LEDs on the option, remove the cover. Select response to encoder errors in parameter 17-61 Feedback Signal
Monitoring.
NOTICE
Maximum cable length for incremental encoder 150 m [492 ft].
VLT® AutomationDrive FC 301/FC 302 with VLT® Encoder Option MCB 102 supports multiple encoder
congurations
which can be
used as speed and/or position feedback for closed-loop ux motor control, closed-loop speed control, and closed-loop position
control:

Incremental Encoders
With TTL and SinCos Incremental encoder, the actual position is 0 after power-up and encoder pulses are counted to increment/
decrement actual position. For improved resolution with TTL encoders, both the positive and negative edges of A and B pulses are
detected giving 4 quad counts per encoder pulse. With SinCos encoders, the signal is sampled 1024 times per sine-cosine period
meaning that the resulting resolution is 1024 times periods per revolution.
ConnectionParameterDescription
Parameter 17-10 Signal TypeSelect the signal type for the encoder:
Absolute position is read from the encoder and used to set the actual position after power-up. Thereafter, the absolute position is
read every 1 ms and used to track any movements. If the absolute position read from the encoder changes more than half an
encoder revolution from the previous position, it is considered to be invalid and the position value is not used. Up to 4 consecutive
invalid positions are skipped, 5 consecutive invalid positions trigger an error, the reaction to this error depends on the setting of
parameter 17-61 Feedback Signal Monitoring. If no reaction or only warning is selected, up to 10 consecutive invalid positions are
skipped where after the position is considered valid and thus used.
When an incremental track is added, it is used for tracking movements while the absolute position readings are used to monitor,
and if needed, correct any deviations between the 2 tracks. A warning is issued when the actual position based on the incremental
track deviates more than 3 qc from the absolute position.
