S200 Position Node Installation Guide
Motors using incremental encoders used with the S200 Position Node must provide hall emulation commutation
tracks in with open collector drive circuits. The alignment of the commutation tracks to the motor’s back EMF
(magnetic alignment) is critical. The following phase diagram will indicate the proper alignment. S200 OC Tools
and the S200 PN support a phase offset adjustment when the hall tracks cannot be properly aligned but the
actual determination of the correct offset is by trial and error. The basic procedure is not discussed other than to
say that the phase is correct when the motor’s actual output torque is balanced in both directions for a given
command.
The following phasing diagram can be helpful when using motors other than Kollmorgen’s AKM Series with
encoder feedback.
