Safety instructions Overview This chapter states the general safety instructions that must be followed when installing and operating the FEN-31 HTL Encoder Interface. In addition to the safety instructions given below, read the complete safety instructions of the specific drive you are working These warnings are intended for all who work on the drive.
Intended audience The manual is intended for the people who are responsible for commissioning and using the FEN-31 HTL Encoder Interface. The reader is expected to have a basic knowledge of electrical fundamentals, electrical wiring practices and how to operate the drive.
This chapter contains a short description of the FEN-31 HTL Encoder Interface. FEN-31 HTL Encoder Interface FEN-31 is an interface between the control board and an HTL encoder. It supports various types of HTL encoders. A PTC or KTY temperature sensor can be attached to one of the connections of the FEN-31 interface.
The shields of connectors X81 and X82 and plug X83 are connected to chassis. The fixing screw connects the chassis to ground. Compatibility FEN-31 is compatible with the following encoders: • Differential push-pull HTL encoders • Single-ended push-pull HTL encoders • Open collector HTL encoders •...
Installation Warning! Follow the safety instructions given in this guide and in the drive’s hardware manual. Setting the supply voltage Warning! Selecting the wrong supply voltage may damage or break the encoder. Two supply voltages are available on pins 4 and 5 in connector X81.
Note: Before mounting the module, set the supply voltage jumpers as described above. FEN-31 is inserted into the option slot of the drive. See the drive hardware manual for more information. The module is held in place with plastic retaining clips and one screw.

Encoder wiring The allocation of cable pairs for each encoder type is described in this section. The encoders should be connected to FEN-31 with a shielded instrumentation cable, preferably with twisted pairs. See also the encoder manual for additional requirements. To prevent the encoder inputs from being disturbed the cable shield must be connected to the chassis.

When transistor opens the circuits the signal line is passively pulled high by the 1.5 kilo-ohm load resistor in FEN-31. Resistor configuration for open emitter HTL encoder For open emitter HTL encoder, the OUT+ channel (A+/B+/Z+) is actively driven high when the transistor closes the circuit.

Configuring the internal pull-up resistor dip switches In FEN-31, a 1.55 kΩ resistor is connected to each signal line (A+, B+, Z+) from one end and the other end is, by default, floating. These floating ends can be connected via DIP switches between connectors X81 and X82.
Page 25
Note: The DIP switches are OFF by default. Turn them ON only if an encoder that specifically needs a pull-up or pull-down resistor is used. The configuration of the DIP switches is shown in the table below: Encoder type Resistors Notes connected Differential push-pull...

Power consumption and cable length The power consumption of the module depends on many factors, eg, max. speed of the motor, encoder pulse number per revolution, encoder cable length and leakage capacitance. The following figure shows the approximate power consumption of an encoder with differential outputs, based on actual measurements.
Z- or Z or 0 The encoder output channel that leads when the drive runs Forward should be connected to FEN-31 input A, the output channel that trails to FEN-31 input B. The zero reference output channel (usually marked 0, N or Z) needs to be connected in positioning applications only.
Fault tracing Diagnostic LEDs FEN-31 is equipped with two diagnostic LEDs. The STATUS LED describes the status of the FEN-31 and the ENC ST LED the status of the encoders. Description of the LED signals is presented below. Colour Description...
