Q-Drive Installation Manual Issue 1.5Page 56 Copyright © 1996 Quin Systems Ltd.9.4 Encoder SimulatorThe operation of the encoder simulator can be checked using a control system such asa Quin Systems PTS unit. Connect the encoder output of the drive to the encoder inputon a PTS system and switch on both the drive and PTS system. Using a terminalconnected to the PTS type the command “DM” and then turn the shaft of the motor.Whilst monitoring the second column of data turn the shaft in one direction, this shouldproduce positional data climbing in a positive or negative direction, turning the shaft inthe opposite direction should take the data back to zero and then climbing in theopposite direction.If the encoder position counts up and down by only one count, then one of the twophases of the encoder signals is not being detected. If the encoder position value doesnot change at all, then either or both phase signals are missing. If the position tends tocount either up or down whichever direction the shaft is turned, then the track A and Bsignals are mixed up with their complementary signals, such that instead of the systemreceiving two signals in quadrature, it always receives two signals in opposite phaseregardless of the shaft direction. These problems can be confirmed by monitoring theencoder signals with an oscilloscope. |
