About This Product
The PG-F3 Option allows the user to connect certain rotary encoders to applicable Yaskawa
drives. Suitable rotary encoders include either EnDat 2.1/01, EnDat 2.2/01, or EnDat 2.2/22
by HEIDENHAIN, or HIPERFACE by SICK STEGMANN.
The PG-F3 Option facilitates motor speed feedback to the drive and takes advantage of
Closed Loop Vector control for PM Motors. The option increases control accuracy and
performance.
An encoder signal allows the drive to compensate for subtle variations in the load, while
providing the drive with the necessary data to control the output frequency and maintain an
accurate constant speed.
The PG-F3 Option reads a maximum input frequency from the encoder of 20 kHz when
using EnDat 2.1/01, EnDat 2.2/01, or HIPERFACE. Be sure to select an encoder with an
output of maximum of 20 kHz when operating at maximum speed.
The maximum input frequency is not a concern when using EnDat 2.2/22 because
compatible encoder models utilize serial communication.
Set the drive motor control mode to operate in the Closed Loop Vector Control for PM
Motors when using the PG-F3 Option. Refer to the drive Technical Manual for details.
