Selecting the Gearing Mode (GEARMODE)
Select the gearing mode (GEARMODE) based on the hardware used for the encoder input.
Currently, there are six choices:
GEARMODE
Encoder Input Voltage Levels and Format
0
Digital quadrature format with 0 to 24 VDC Inputs (Connector X3).
1
Step/direction format with 0 to 24 VDC Inputs (Connector X3).
2 Reserved
3
Digital quadrature format with 0 to 5 VDC Inputs (Connector X5). DO NOT USE
if the drive outputs encoder emulation signals.
4
Step/direction format with 0 to 5 VDC inputs (Connector X5). DO NOT USE if the
drive outputs encoder emulation signals.
5 Reserved
6
Sine encoder (Connector X1). DO NOT USE if a sine encoder is used for the
encoder primary feedback device.
7
SSI format (Connector X5).
You may enter the setting for GEARMODE directly in the
Gearing
dialog box (Figure 12). See
ascii.chm for details on more advanced settings of GEARMODE.
