VAC / Encoder Interface Option Board

The encoder interface can easily serve as one of the inputs to the X5’s Keeper Function (data logging). See the X5
User’s Manual for more information.
Both the Vmet and Imet output from the drive can be configured to indicate the status of the encoder. Parameters
700 (Vmet) and 702 (Imet) that relate to the setup and calibration of the Vmet and Imet outputs, both have selections
related to the status of the encoder input.
The Program Sequencer function can also key off the encoder’s home pulse. To make use of this function, the
encoder’s home pulse (1 pulse per revolution) must be connected to the C- input of the encoder board.
Encoder Interface Troubleshooting
Any problem with the encoder interface will result in an F37 fault. Four advanced fault codes are available to help
you determine whether you have an encoder calibration problem, or a defect. For more information on
troubleshooting, refer to the Troubleshooting chapter in the X5 User’s Manual.
Using Ethernet Connections
Following are the specifications for Modbus / TCP connections:
To communicate with the drive over Ethernet, the drive’s IP address must be set. This is done with parameters 922-
925. After setting the IP address, be sure to cycle power off and back on for the new address to take effect.
LED Indications
The Ethernet / IP Option Board includes two LED status indicators: Network Status and Module Status. See
Figure
1 on page 4
for the location of these LEDs on the board. Network status provides information on the network
connection status and Module status provides information on the Ethernet / IP module itself. The following tables
explain the meaning of the status LEDs:
