MagForce motor system installation: Difference between revisions

Line 28:

The motor control circuit needs some motion feedback from the bell to determine that it is swinging properly. We offer two types of feedback devices to accomplish this. The wiring requirements are the same for both. Four conductors of a telco or CAT5 cable usually suffice for this low current 12V signaling.

=== ~~Proximity~~ sensor (standard) ===

=== Precision rotary motion sensor (standard) ===

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.

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

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

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

Brown to input '''+V''' on the translator (+5VDC)

White to input '''0V''' on the translator

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]]''' and set the Transmission value to 22.8.

=== Proximity sensor ===

These sensors are not used in recent installations.

A three wire (60 inch cable) proximity sensor provides output when a bolt head or metal flag is about 1/4 inch away. Typically, a bolt is mounted to protrude from the bell wheel or head stock assembly. A stainless steel sheet metal flag is also supplied that can be mounted with dual adhesive foam tape or epoxy to the wheel or head stock.

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.
