Hall Effect Sensors for Sinusoidal Commutation
Configuration
The feedback connectors for axes 1 and 2 of the UMI-7774/7772 have
additional signal connections for digital Hall effect sensors to
accommodate brushless servo drives without onboard sinusoidal
commutation. For these types of drives, you must use a National
Instruments motion controller that provides the sinusoidal commutation.
When you set up the UMI-7774/7772 for sinusoidal commutation, you
connect the axis 1 feedback connector to the set of Hall effect sensors for
one brushless motor and the axis 2 feedback connector to the set of Hall
effect sensors for another brushless motor. When you use the feedback
connectors for axes 1 and 2 in this manner, you do not need to use the
feedback connectors for the other two axes on the UMI-7774.
All of the Hall effect sensor signals are pass-through signals to the National
Instruments motion controller general-purpose digital inputs.
