 Basics

• Controlling an AC Drive with Preset Speed and Direction

(Position Feedback with A/B Encoder)
• Definitions:
– Output O/4 --> Speed reference (OFF = high, ON = low Speed)
– Output O/5 --> Direction (OFF = forward, ON = reverse)
– Input I/2 --> Reset HSCNT Accumulator

• Timing Diagram:

low
Speed high

Direction forward reverse

Encoder Pulses 0 1700 2000 300 0

 Configure the HSC Function File

6.HSC Parameters
– Enterthe following Values to
define the HSC0 signals.
– Program File Number: 10, this
defines the subroutine that will be
called (executed) when the HSC0
counts to High/Low preset or
Over/underflow
– Auto start: 1, This defines if the
HSC function automatically starts 6
whenever the controller enters the
run mode
– Counting Enabled: 1, Used to
enable or disable HSC
– HSC Mode: 2, sets mode to counter
w/external direction
– Output Mask: 48h, defines the
HSC control of outputs 5 and 6
– High/Low presets values
– High preset = 17
– Low preset = 0
– Over/Under flow values
– Overflow = 21
– Underflow= -21

 Creating a Program File

The High Speed Counter

requires a program file to
be executed on any HSC
interrupt

7.New Program File

– Right click on the Program File
Folder in the Project Tree and select
“New”

8.HSCNT File #10

– Enter the file number “10”
– Enter the file name “HSCNT”
– Accept the edits with OK

 Adjust Input Filter Settings

In order for the High

Speed Counter Inputs to
recognize the short
impulses of the encoder,
the input filter time must
be properly configured

9.Configure Embedded I/Os

– Double click on the I/O Configuration
in the project tree
– Double click on the Bul. 1763
MicroLogix 1100 in the I/O
Configuration window
– Select the Embedded I/O
Configuration tab
– Change Input 0+1 from “default”
to “100us”
– Accept edits with OK
– Exit the I/O configuration window

 Test & Monitor the Program
17. With the controller in “Remote
Run”, you can monitor or edit data
within the controller. This allows:
– Program debugging
– Change data variables while in run
18. Push Button I:0/0 to see any
changes of the accumulator

19.Functional Test
With input I:0/1(external direction) off, Push
button I:0/0 (high speed input) on. Verify the
HSC accumulator is counting up.
At 17 --> output O/4 turns ON
At 20 --> output O/5 turns ON, output O/4
turns OFF
Push on I:0/1(external direction), with I:0/0
(high speed input) off. Verify the HSC
accumulator is counting down.
At 3 --> output O/4 and O/5 turns ON
At 0 --> output O/4 and O/5 turns OFF
