NOTES FOR SAFE OPERATION
Before installation, operation, maintenance or inspection of this option, a technically quali-
fied individual who is familiar with this type of equipment and the hazards involved should
read this entire manual thoroughly. In this manual, the NOTES FOR SAFE OPERATION
are classified as “CAUTION”.
CAUTION
NOTE
NOTE
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, may result in minor
or moderate injury to personnel and damage equipment.
Failure to heed notices labeled with may result in dangerous situations or
equipment damage.
Steps to be taken to insure proper operation and to avoid malfunctions.
CAUTION
CAUTION
• The option card uses a CMOS IC chip. It may break if touched by bare fingers because of static
electricity. Be careful when handling.
• When removing the option card from the drive for transportation or storage, the card should be
placed in the anti-static package it was received in.
• DO NOT alter wiring or connect or disconnect connectors while equipment power is ON.
Failure to observe these cautions may re sult in injury or equipment damage!
Before use,
1. Before installing the Encoder (PG) Feedback Card (the PG-B2 card), read this manual and the man-
ual for the installation of the drive.
2. Before connecting the PG-B2 card or external terminals, turn OFF the main power to the drive and
verify that the CHARGE indicator lamp of the Drive is OFF.
3. When ordering the PG-B2 card, specify the product type and code number.

3.1Before Installation
Remove contents from package and verify that a mounting spacer (code number
SRNT41028-9) is included with the PG-B2 card (see Fig. 2).

0.197 in. (5 mm)
3.2Drive Installation Procedure
1. Turn OFF the main power and wait for the time specified on the cover of the Drive for
voltage to bleed off the DC bus capacitors. Remove the cover and verify that the
CHARGE indicator lamp is OFF.
2. Insert the spacer (SRNT41028-9) into the spacer mounting hole in the mounting base of
the Drive (see Fig. 3). Drive models of 3.7 kW or smaller capacities have two closely
spaced mounting holes. Insert the spacer into the hole closest to the 7CN connector on
the control board. Insertion of the spacer into the incorrect hole will stack the spacer. Be
careful to insert in the proper hole in the proper inserting direction.
3. Align the two holes of the PG-B2 card and projections as shown in the detailed side
view, first at location (a) and then at (b), and precisely place the card on the option A
connector. Insert the spacer mounted at 2 above into the PG-B2 spacer mounting hole.
(See part A of the side view on the next page.)
4. Rotate the top edge of the card down into place, carefully aligning connector 4CN on
the back of the card with connector 4CN on the control board.
5. Gently press the card into place until 4CN and the spacer click into place.
6. Connect the grounding lead wire of the PG-B2 card to the grounding terminal (G5: 12
(G), G7 or F7: E (G)) on the control board.

PG Signal Output
The PG signal output (phases A and B) may vary according to installation location on the
motor. Refer to Fig. 4 for correct wiring.
In general, motor forward direction is counterclockwise (CCW) as viewed from the load
shaft. For YASKAWA’s motor, phase A of PG output leads phase B by a phase angle of 90°
in clockwise (CW) rotation. According to PG, phase A lags phase B by a phase angle of 90°
in clockwise (CW) rotation. In this case, when PG is installed at the opposite drive end, con-
nect phases A and B output from PG to the option card as it is.
For YASKAWA’s Inverter motor with PG, PG is installed at the opposite drive end. Then,
phase A lags phase B by a phase angle of 90° at motor forward run. (Motor runs CCW as
viewed from PG.) Therefore, when using this motor or similar motors, connect phases A
and B to the option card after replacing phase output. The pulse monitor on this option
shows phase A leading phase B by a phase angle of 90°.

5 Wiring
NOTE
• Separate the control signal wires (terminal blocks TA1 and TA2) of the PG-B2 card from the main
circuit wires and other power cables.
• Use a shielded wire to connect the encoder (PG). Connect the wires as shown in Fig. 5 to prevent
noise interference. The wire distance must be 328 ft. (100 m) or less. Provide an exclusive cable.
(Refer to the table below.)

• To prevent noise, use shielded wire and separate from heavy current circuits (200 VAC or greater)
or relay drive circuits. (Wire length to the PG connector must be 328 ft. (100 m) or less.)
• If the PG signal is affected by noise, disconnect the grounding lead wire (E) from the grounding
terminal (G5: 12 (G), G7 or F7: E (G)) of the control board of the Inverter.
• The recommended tightening torque is 0.22 to 0.25 Nxm.

• The thicker a cable is, the greater the pressure on the option card and the greater the possibility of
a failure occurring will be.
• The thinner a cable is, the poorer the electrical contact and the greater the possibility of the con-
ductor breaking will be.
• The longer the cable is, the more likely a voltage drop in the PG power supply or PG signal will
occur.

6Application of Encoder (PG)
The maximum frequency of the encoder (PG) output pulses that can be detected is
32,767 Hz.
Therefore, select a PG that outputs about 20 kHz at the motor rotation speed at maximum
frequency output.
