Parameter 30 – Signal Input 1 (S1) Display Reference
This is the number to be displayed when at the user-specified motor Reference RPM. In Rate
Mode, this value represents rate units such as feet, ounces, or revolutions. In Time Mode, this
value represents the reference time measured in seconds or minutes. If the desired display is
HH:MM, then all values should be entered in minutes. If MM:SS is desired, then all values should
be entered in seconds. In Follower Mode, this value is the percentage of the master rate in 0.1%
units. For example, 1000 equates to 100%. See applications for more examples.
Parameter 31 – Signal Input 1 (S1) Reference RPM
This is the reference RPM at which the Display Reference value should be displayed.
In Rate
and Time Modes, this value represents the RPM of the encoder to which the Display Reference
corresponds. In Follower Modes, this value is not used. See applications for examples.
Parameter 32 – Signal Input 1 (S1) Pulses per Revolution
This is the number of pulses per revolution for the signal input 1 (S1). The MDP supports pickups
and encoders from 1 to 2048 pulses per revolution.
Parameter 33 – Signal Input 1 (S1) Deadband (Follower Mode Only)
When in Follower Mode, it is often desirable for the follower unit to continue to slowly make-up
the small pickup pulse differential between the master and follower's position. In some
applications, it is not necessary for the follower to continue to slowly seek the master's exact
pulse position when the master rate is at zero. In these cases, the Deadband parameter can
be set above zero to force the MDP to stop driving the motor slowly and cause it to inhibit until
the master starts rotating again. At that point, the follower will automatically make-up the pulse
differential as it starts to rotate. The deadband is disabled by setting it to zero seconds.
Parameter 35 – Signal Input 2 (S2) Input Configuration
This parameter determines the operating mode of signal input 2 (S2).
Mode 1: Disabled (Follower Mode)
The S2 input is inactive. This is the required setting for Follower Mode.
Mode 2: Emergency Stop When S2 High (Not Wired To Common)
When the S2 input is at an electrically high (+5V) state or allowed to float disconnected,
the MDP will enter emergency-stop mode. While in this mode, the armature output will
immediately be turned off. Once the S2 input returns to an electrically low state or wired
to the unit's common, the output will become active.
Mode 3: Emergency Stop When S2 Low (Wired To Common)
When the S2 input is at an electrically low state or wired to the unit's common, the MDP
will enter emergency-stop mode. While in this mode, the armature output will immediately
be turned off. Once the S2 input returns to an electrically high (+5V) state or allowed to
float disconnected, the output will become active.
Mode 4: Inhibit When S2 High (Not Wired To Common)
When the S2 input is at an electrically high (+5V) state or allowed to float disconnected,
the MDP will enter inhibit mode. While inhibited, the armature output will decrease
according to the decel setting until zero output is reached. Once the S2 input returns to
an electrically low state or is wired to the unit's common, the output will start to accelerate
toward the previous running value.
Mode 5: Inhibit When S2 Low (Wired To Common)
When the S2 input is at an electrically low state or wired to the unit's common, the MDP
will enter inhibit mode. While inhibited, the armature output will decrease according to the
decel setting until zero output is reached. Once the S2 input returns to an electrically high
(+5V) state or allowed to float disconnected, the output will start to accelerate toward the
previous running value.
