  • Page 9: Installation

    Installation Preparing for installation MTAC-01 module The MTAC-01 Pulse Encoder Interface module is an interface for connecting a digital pulse encoder to an ACS350 drive. A pulse encoder should be used if accurate speed or position (angle) feedback from the motor shaft is required.

    4. Ensure that the panel port adapter is attached to either the panel port of the drive or the mate part of the MTAC-01 module. 5. Gently and firmly install the MTAC-01 module to the drive’s panel slot directly from the front.
  • Page 11 Note: Correct insertion and tightening of the screw is essential for fulfilling the EMC requirements and proper operation of the module. 7. Install the possible control panel or panel cover on the MTAC-01 module. Installation...
  • Page 12 Wiring – General The pulse encoder should be connected to the MTAC-01 module with cables as specified below. 4 × (2+1) twisted pair cable with Cable construction individual and overall shields Conductor cross-sectional area 0.5 to 1.5 mm 20 to 16 AWG...
  • Page 13 Wiring – Encoder power The MTAC-01 module does not supply power for the encoder. An external power supply (as diagrammed below) is recommended. The drive’s 24 VDC supply from terminals X1A:9 (+24V) and X1A:10 (GND) can be used if the total draw on the supply does not exceed 200 mA.
  • Page 14 2. Refer to Wiring diagrams on page 16, select the appropriate diagram, and wire the encoder. Note: Normally, ground the cable shield only at the drive end. However, if the encoder is isolated from the motor and from the ground, connect the cable shields to both the MTAC module and the encoder housing.
  • Page 15 Option B: Functional test. For this test: • Temporarily, switch the drive to scalar mode [parameter 9904 MOTOR CTRL MODE = 3 (SCALAR:FREQ)], if not already there. • Run the drive in the forward direction. • Verify that parameter 0147 MECH REVS is increasing in the positive direction.

  • Page 20: Start-Up

    Start-up Configuration To configure the operation of the MTAC-01 module: 1. Power up the drive. 2. Use the control panel on the drive or the DriveWindow Light PC tool and set group 50 ENCODER parameters described on page 21. Encoder operating data The following actual signals, based on measurements or calculations, provide feedback from the encoder.

  • Page 22: Timer & Counter

    Counter The encoder pulses can be used as the signal source for the counter. For more information on the counter function, refer to chapter Program features in ACS350 User’s Manual [3AFE68462401 (English)]. Index Name/ Description Default Selection FbEq 19 TIMER & COUNTER 1906 COUNTER Selects the input signal source for the counter.

  • Page 23: Diagnostics

    Diagnostics Faults/Alarms If the ACS350 detects that the encoder signal is lost, the drive operation and the diagnostic message are both controlled by parameter 5003 ENCODER FAULT: • 5003 = 1 (FAULT) – The drive generates a fault (23 ENCODER ERR), and the motor coasts to a stop. •...
