The encoder interface can easily serve as one of the inputs to the X5’s Keeper Function (data logging). More
information on this feature is in the X5 User’s Manual.
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.
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.
