Figure 16: Feedback Ports on J2
The Gold Trombone has two configurable motion sensor input ports, namely, Port A and Port B,
and the emulated buffered output Port C. Motion sensors from the motor being controlled and
from other sources can be connected to any of the available inputs on Port A or Port B.
Software configuration designates each input a role, e.g., the incremental encoder on Port B is
the controlled motor position feedback, the Hall sensors on Port A are commutation feedback,
and the incremental encoder on Port A is follower input.
For more information about sensors and their use refer to the Gold Line Software Manual.
4.9.1.
Port A (J2, J1)
Port A supports the following sensor inputs:
•
Digital Hall sensors
•
Incremental encoder or absolute serial encoder, depending on the specific model
Differential PWM signal input can be connected to Port A in the models that support input
from an incremental encoder. The PWM signal can be connected to the applicable pair of
matching + and - encoder channels and is configurable by software.
Differential pulse and direction signal inputs can be connected to Port A in the models that
support input from an incremental encoder. The signals can be connected to the applicable pair
of matching + and - encoder channels and are configurable by software.
