7.11.8 Gear factor
7.11.8.1 Definition
The gear factor (ratio drive speed tooutput speed) is defined by two parameters: gear factor numerator and
gear factor denominator
Counter
––––––––
Numerator
Gear factor =
For every encoder channel, a gear factor can be given
. Ec.04 / 05 or Ec.56 / 57 defines the gear factor for
channel 1. Ec.14 / 15 or Ec.58 / 59 defines the gear factor for channel 2.
The gear factor can be preset with a higher resolution and a higher value range in the second parameter pair
(Ec.56 / 57 or Ec.58 / 59).
Parameter "gear factor counter long" (Ec.56 for channel 1 or Ec.58 for channel 2) determines the parameter
pair that defines the gear
factor.
If this parameter contains a value not equal to "0:off" for the respective channel, the "long" gear factors apply.
Overview of the parameters for gear factor setting:

Setting a gear factor is necessary in the following applications:
•
Motor encoder connection via a gear
If the speed sensor for the motor speed cannot be connected directly to the motor shaft, the gear ratio
between motor and speed sensor must be set.
•
Use of a resolver with a pole-pair number greater than 1
By default, the use of resolvers with pole-pair number 1 is assumed. If other types are to be used, the
different pole-pair number is treated like a gear factor. The ratio of gear factor denominator to gear factor
numerator must be set equal to the pole-pair number. If different synchronous motor are to be used in this
set-up, it must be ascertained that the value pole-pair number x gear factor is integer (see example 1).
•
Synchronous running
For synchronous control, the gear ratio between master and slave drive must be known to the inverter
(see chapter 7.12.3.3 synchronous mode / position normalisation)
•
positioning
The gear factor is needed if control is not directly by motor position, but the position encoder is connected
with a gear (see chapter 7.12.4.3 position normalisation).
