Ls Is7 Encoder Setup 21

This document provides instructions for installing an encoder option card in an iS7 VFD and setting up parameters to utilize encoder feedback. The card is installed by removing the front cover, sliding the card into the option slot, and securing it with a screw. Encoder wires are connected to the card's terminals. The switch must be set for the encoder type. Key parameters like encoder mode, type, pulses, and motor details must be configured. Autotuning will calibrate the setup but may require reversing encoder wiring if direction is incorrect. Troubleshooting tips address issues with speed or high amps.

iS7 Encoder Setup

Purpose
This document serves as a supplement to the complete iS7 User Manual. It shows how to install and setup the iS7 VFD to
utilize an encoder option board (P/N: 64110002). This option card supports line driver and open collector type encoders.

Card Installation
1. Remove the front cover of the iS7 to expose the option slot highlighted below.

2. The encoder option card is installed by lining the card up with the option connector and sliding to the right. Ensure
that the pins are lined up properly; the card should slide in easily and fit flush with the plastic cover.

3. Tighten the included screw to hold the card in place.

Slide into place

Wiring
Wire the motors encoder wires to the encoder card using the below reference table.

Terminal Function
S Shield connection
A+ Positive A channel pulse (A)
A- Negative A channel pulse (/A)
B+ Positive B channel pulse (B)
B- Negative B channel pulse (/B)
G Ground connection, common for DC supplies below.
5V 5VDC supply to encoder
12V 12VDC supply to encoder
15V 15VDC supply to encoder
RTA/RTB Return Pulse for channel A and B (open collector
output)

The encoder card supports line driver type and open collector type encoders. Be sure to set the switch pictured below to
the correct setting depending on the applied encoder.

LD 12V = Line Driver 12VDC


COMP, OC = Complementary/ Open collector
LD 5V = Line Driver 5VDC

Parameter Setup
It is imperative to setup the below parameters and conduct and autotune to ensure proper operation of the iS7 with
encoder feedback.

Parameter Parameter Name Recommended Setting


Code
APO-01 Encoder Option Mode 1 – Feedback
APO-04 Encoder Type Selection Set to line driver or open collector based on installed encoder
APO-05 Encoder Pulse Selection Leave at A+B if using both channels
APO-06 Encoder Pulse # Set to PPR of encoder
DRV-09 Control Mode 5 - Vector
DRV-14 Motor Capacity Set to motor kW
BAS-11 Motor Poles Set to # of motor poles
BAS-12 Rated Slip Set to rated motor slip
BAS-13 Rated Current Set to motor FLA
BAS-15 Rated Voltage Set to rated motor voltage
BAS-20 Auto Tuning 1-All **This will rotate the motor, ensure motor is uncoupled from the
load**

Troubleshooting

Encoder direction error


If during the auto tuning process an encoder direction message is received.
• Is motor direction correct? Verify the motor direction is correct; FWD on keypad should match forward running for
the application. If it is incorrect, swap the U and W motor wires and run the tune again. If the motor direction is
correct set APO-05=- (A + B) and run the tune again.
• Parameter APO-08 will display the encoder’s frequency. While running FWD this should display a positive
frequency close to the commanded reference. While running REV it will go negative. You can also turn the motor
by hand while stopped and view the feedback.

Motor is not getting up to speed or is pulling high amperage


If the VFDs output speed is not matching the command reference or the motor is pulling high amps.
• Check the encoder wiring. If B+ and B- are swapped, for example, this symptom can occur.
• Confirm that encoder PPR set in APO-06 matches the encoder’s nameplate.
