Understanding 8720MC
Feedback Devices
The 8720MC supports a motor feedback port, an auxiliary feedback
port (SERCOS interface only), and an A quad B motion controller
position feedback output port (analog interface only).
The table below includes the feedback devices that were tested for
compatibility with the 8720MC. There are a variety of other feedback
devices which follow standard encoder interface practices which will
interface successfully to the 8720MC. Standard A quad B differential
TTL encoders and scales, as well as 1 volt peak-to-peak scales and
encoders, are examples. Check with your local A-B technical support
personnel to assure compatibility with devices not listed.
1
The SNS Device is supported on the motor feedback port only when the 8720MC is used in analog mode.
2
The SRS and SRM are supported on the motor feedback port only when the 8720MC is used in SERCOS mode.
3
The auxiliary feedback port is only available when the 8720MC is used in SERCOS mode.
4
See the Encoder Power section for further information.
The Stegmann SNS-60 device is an incremental sine/cosine encoder
used for spindle and power servo applications where an analog
velocity command is the required motion controller interface. The
Stegmann output signals include a marker pulse. This device is
required if the 8720MC encoder output signals are interfaced with a
motion controller for position feedback.
The Stegmann SRS-660 is a single-turn feedback device used in
spindle applications, as well as power servo applications. This is only
available in the SERCOS version.
