MagForce motor system installation: Difference between revisions

Line 41:

If you use a cable with other colors to extend these wires, make note of the colors you splice together, so the connections to the control computer circuit board are correct.

=== Precision rotary motion sensor ===

This option is ~~only~~ used with a MagForce motor ~~if the bell has definite limits to its swing angle that would result in a catastrophic failure~~. The rotary encoder is mounted to a non-moving part (like an A-stand) with pulleys and belt to sense the precise angular movement of the swinging bell axle.

This option is used with a MagForce motor improved motion feedback. The rotary encoder is mounted to a non-moving part (like an A-stand) with pulleys and belt to sense the precise angular movement of the swinging bell axle. A separate logic translator is supplied in a weatherproof box and may be used as a junction box at the bell location.

A separate logic translation board is supplied in a weatherproof box and may be used as a junction box at the bell location. A value to enter for the Transmission parameter in the program will be provided based on the pulley and spindle diameters.

There are four wires used in the encoder cable that connect to the translator:

There are four wires used in the encoder cable:

Green to quadrature input '''A''' on the translator

Gray to quadrature input '''B''' on the translator

Line 52:

The translator outputs connect one to one to the motion controller sensor inputs: '''P''' (pulse), '''D''' (direction), '''+''' (positive power, +12VDC), '''-''' (negative power).

For rotary encoder systems, verify that the label on the CPU chip of the motor control system says "SENSOR." Use the [[IntelliSwing_Rotary_installation#Programming_the_controller|rotary motor programming procedure]].

For rotary encoder systems, verify that the label on the CPU chip of the motor control system says "SENSOR." Use the [[IntelliSwing_Rotary_installation#Programming_the_controller|rotary motor programming procedure]] and set the Transmission value to 22.8.
