Ultra3000 Connector Data
High Resolution Encoder Output
When the incoming encoder feedback on CN2 is a high resolution
(SIN/COS) signal, the drive is capable of generating more than just 4
counts/cycle (as with incremental encoders). The Ultra3000 drive is
capable of breaking the SIN/COS encoder signals into as many as
1024 counts/cycle. So, for example, a 1024 cycle/rev SIN/COS
encoder can result in 1024 x 1024 (high resolution) counts/rev.

Absolute High Resolution Encoder Signals
The high resolution buffered outputs available from the drive (CN1-16
through -21) are software selectable as follows:
•
Buffered Outputs
are conditioned SIN/COS signals resulting in a
square wave (A quad B) signal (refer to Figure 2.51). This signal
will have the same number of cycles/rev as the incoming SIN/COS
encoder signals found on CN2.
•
Interpolated Outputs
are square wave (A quad B) signals
reflecting the interpolation value chosen in software. The
minimum interpolation value allowed is x4, which gives the same
output as selecting buffered (as described above).
•
Divided Outputs
are the result of a divisor (selected in software)
and an interpolation value (also selected in software). For
example, with an interpolation value of x8 and a divisor of 2, the
CN1 buffered output will be the (x4) square wave representation
of the original incoming SIN/COS signal from CN2.

The interpolation value selected in software is what
the drive uses internally to close the feedback loops
regardless of any divisor value chosen to condition
the signals present on CN1.
