 MS332 Introduction
The MS332 is a powerful and versatile speed-mode motor-drive controller for building closed-loop processes.
Capabilities include speed and phase control, electronic line-shaft and gearing, event synchronization and
bidirectional motion.
The MS332 receives a feedback quadrature pulse signal from an incremental shaft encoder while outputting an
analog control voltage signal to a variable-speed motor drive. For follower operating modes, the MS332 also
receives a lead (master) quadrature pulse signal from a second incremental shaft encoder. Depending on the follower
mode, the MS332 may also receive index/event pulse signals from sensors at both a lead and the follower processes.
Powerful user variables and numerous user-assignable switch-input and transistor-output functions are provided to
tailor the MS332 to both the motor-drive and application requirements. The internal 32-bit processor and 1024 per
second PID loop update rate make the controller precise and responsive.

 MS332 Description of Operating Modes Section
(bA02.XX)

Master Mode
Description:
Input hardware:
- Master mode uses a single quadrature-output incremental feedback encoder on the controlled shaft.
Operation:
- Master mode controls motor speed, causing the feedback encoder to rotate at the precise set-point speed.
- When using a bidirectional drive and motor, forward and reverse Master mode operation may be achieved by
utilizing the Reverse Switch Input Function.

Master mode utilizes only one encoder (connected to the MS332 feedback encoder channel inputs) as shown in the
following diagram:

ANALOG DRIVE PROCESS
GROUND C OUTPUT

FEEDBACK ENCODER SIGNAL

Control Theory:
Closed-loop pulse-counting algorithm:
- The feedback encoder speed is controlled by forcing the number of feedback encoder pulses received (in time T)
equal to the expected number determined by the master set-point and certain other variables.
- Since the MS332 time-base is controlled by an accurate, precise crystal-based clock, the speed does not
significantly drift over time or vary with environmental conditions.

Feedback speed and active set-point:

- The set-point to feedback RPM relationship is given by the equation:
FbRPM = Set-point * (Var01.00 / Var01.01)

- Var01.00 (Process Max Feedback Encoder RPM) sets the maximum feedback encoder RPM for the process. This
is the maximum steady state feedback encoder RPM at which the process runs (not accounting for overspeed
needed to close the loop at maximum set-point). It is the expected nominal feedback encoder RPM for Master
Mode when the set-point is maximum.
- Var01.01 (Process Max Feedback Encoder RPM in User Units) configures the user units of feedback encoder
RPM for Master Mode set-points, speed set-point scroll steps, feedback encoder velocity display and npn-output
speed threshold parameters. Set Var01.01 to Var01.00's value converted to user units. To use RPM user units, set
Var01.01 equal to Var01.00.
- During operation, the set-point may be set to any value from 0 to Var01.01.

Ratio-Follower Mode
Description:
Input Hardware:
- Ratio-Follower mode uses quadrature-output incremental encoders on both the lead and follower shafts.
Operation:
- Ratio-Follower mode controls follower motor speed, causing the feedback encoder to precisely follow the lead
encoder according to the (speed ratio) set-point. The set-point sets the proportionality between the lead and
follower shaft speeds.
- When using a bidirectional drive and motor, the feedback encoder follows the lead encoder in either direction
(forward or reverse). Normally, the feedback encoder follows in the same direction as the lead. When using the
Reverse Switch Input Function, the feedback may be switched to follow in the opposite direction.

Ratio-Follower mode utilizes one lead encoder and one feedback encoder (connected to the MS332 lead and
feedback encoder channel inputs) as shown in the following diagram:

Control Theory:
Closed-loop pulse-meshing algorithm:
- The feedback (follower) encoder speed is controlled by forcing the number of feedback encoder pulses received
(in time T) equal to the expected number determined by the lead encoder pulses received (in time T), the ratio
set-point and certain other variables. With this pulse-meshing algorithm the feedback encoder follows the lead
encoder as though mechanically geared, with zero slippage over time.

RPM ratio and active set-point:

- The (output) feedback follower RPM to (input) lead RPM relationship is given by the equation:
FbRPM / LdRPM = Set-point * [(Var01.00 / Var01.03) / Var01.04]

- Var01.03 (Process Max Lead Encoder RPM) must be set to the maximum expected lead encoder RPM of the lead
process.
- Var01.00 (Process Max Feedback Encoder RPM) sets the maximum feedback encoder RPM for the follower
process. This is the maximum steady state follower process feedback encoder RPM (not accounting for overspeed
to close the loop at maximum set-point). It is the expected nominal feedback encoder RPM when the lead encoder
is running at process maximum RPM (Var01.03) and the Ratio-Follower set-point is maximum.
- Var01.04 ([Process Max Feedback Encoder RPM / Process Max Lead Encoder RPM] in User Units) configures
the user units of the feedback/lead encoder RPM ratio for Ratio-Follower set-points, feedback/lead encoder
velocity ratio display and npn-output velocity ratio threshold parameters. Set Var01.04 to (Var01.00 / Var01.03)
converted to user units. To use "unitless" RPM ratio user units, set Var01.04 equal to Var01.00 / Var01.03.
- During operation, the Ratio Follower set-point may be set to any value from 0 to Var01.04.

Desc. Oper. Mode Sect. page - 2 (bA02.XX) (101801)

Index-Follower Mode
Description:
Input Hardware:
- Index-Follower mode uses lead and follower quadrature-output incremental encoders and lead and follower index
pulse devices. An Index pulse signal is usually triggered by an event such as an object passing by a proximity
sensor.
Operation:
- Index-follower mode controls follower motor speed, causing the feedback encoder to follow the lead encoder
according to the rpm ratio while simultaneously positioning feedback index pulses relative to lead index pulses
according to the index phase set-point.
- When using a bidirectional drive and motor, the feedback encoder follows the lead encoder in either direction
(forward or reverse).

The connections to the MS332 lead and feedback encoder inputs, and lead and feedback index inputs are as shown
in the following diagram:

Control Theory:
Index Phasing:
- Index phase corrections position the effective feedback index pulses relative to the effective lead index pulses
according to the Index Phase set-point. In this way, a periodic feedback-process event may be precisely phased to
precede, coincide with, or follow a periodic lead-process event by a desired number of feedback encoder pulses.
Index phase corrections occur immediately after each effective feedback index pulse.
RPM Ratio:
- Between index phase corrections, feedback encoder speed is controlled by forcing the number of feedback
encoder pulses received (in time T) equal to the expected number determined by the lead encoder pulses received
(in time T) and certain user variables (see formula below). No pulses are gained or lost between index phase
corrections: the cumulative error is zero. Therefore if either index pulse source were to fail, index phase
corrections would cease but the follower-to-lead phase relationship would not change.
- This closed-loop pulse-meshing algorithm is similar to that of Ratio-Follower mode. However, unlike
Ratio-Follower mode, the RPM ratio derives from a feedback to lead index pulse matching ratio
(Var01.10/Var01.11) and not from the set-point. The Index-Follower mode feedback/lead RPM ratio formula is
shown here:
FbRPM / LdRPM = (FbPPI / LdPPI) * (Var01.05 / Var01.02) * (Var01.10 / Var01.11)

Desc. Oper. Mode Sect. page - 3 (bA02.XX) (101801)

 Where FbPPI and LdPPI are the feedback and lead encoder-pulses per index-pulse, Var01.02 and Var01.05 are
the feedback and lead encoder pulses per revolution, Var01.10 and Var01.11 are the desired feedback and lead
index pulses per match.
Index-Follower Mode (cont.)
PPI Measurement and Averaging:
- Although it is necessary for an application to exhibit constant or near-constant feedback and lead encoder-pulse
per index-pulse counts, some variation is tolerable to the MS332. Possible causes of variation may include
slippage or stretching in the medium coupling the encoder shaft and index-pulse trigger, multiple (somewhat
unevenly-spaced) index-pulse triggers per mechanical cycle and multiple, irregularly shaped / oriented
index-pulse triggers. In such cases this PPI variation alone causes periodic index-phase corrections as the MS332
maintains the set-point mandated feedback-to-lead index-pulse phase relationship.
- To mitigate the size of such index-phase corrections, MS332 provides user-configurable feedback and lead
encoder PPI measurement and averaging functionality (controlled by Var01.09).
When enabled, averages of measured FbPPI and LdPPI values are used in determining the FbRPM/LdRPM ratio
(see the formula given above in the RPM Ratio discussion). When the RPM ratio runs on averages of measured
PPI values instead of constant values that differ from the actual PPI values, the magnitue of index-phase
corrections is reduced, resulting in smoother operation.
When not enabled, the constant PPI values of Var01.07 and Var01.08 are used.

Index Matching and effective Index Pulses:

- The ratio (Var01.10/Var01.11) defines an index match pattern: Var01.10 feedback index pulses get matched with
Var01.11 lead index pulses. For most applications, these two variables are each set to 1 (feedback and lead index
pulses occur 1:1). In these cases, each lead pulse is effective and each feedback pulse is effective. That is to say
each feedback pulse causes index phase measurement and (if necessary) correction, and each lead index pulse gets
corrected to.
- In some applications, it is necessary to match index pulses in a non 1:1 pattern. Var01.10 (Feedback index pulses
per match) and Var01.11 (Lead index pulse per match) accomidate these applications by accepting integer values
from 1 to 21474. Generally speaking, n (Var01.10) feedback index pulses get matched to m (Var01.11) lead
index pulses in a n:m pattern with every nth feedback index pulse and every mth lead index pulse effective.

Desc. Oper. Mode Sect. page - 4 (bA02.XX) (101801)

Jog Mode
Description:
Input hardware:
- Jog mode may use a single quadrature-output incremental encoder on the driven shaft.
Operation:
- Jog mode is a simple open-loop mode similar to a speed pot where the output voltage is proportional to the Jog
speed set-point. Although an encoder is generally connected for display purposes, Jog mode does not use encoder
pulses to drive the encoder RPM to the set-point determined RPM but instead outputs a set-point determined
voltage independent of actual encoder RPM.
- When using a bidirectional drive and motor, forward and reverse Jog mode operation may be achieved by utilizing
the Reverse Switch Input Function.

The basic connections necessary for Jog mode (including an optional feedback encoder) are as shown in the
following diagram:

Control Theory:
Open-loop analog output formula:
- The Jog mode analog output voltage obeys the following formula:
Vout = [V(90% DAC) - V(0% DAC)] * [(Jog set-point RPM) / (Var01.00)] + V(0% DAC)

Jog set-point:
- The Jog mode set-point should always be entered in feedback encoder RPM units.

Notes: This diagram shows proper wiring of signals, devices, d.c. power, commons and cable-shields for all types
of MS332 signal inputs and outputs. No specific MS332 Operating Mode or external device configuration
is intentionally suggested. For a given application, the actual devices utilized depend on both the selected
MS332 Operating Mode and the specific needs of the application.

Phys. Install. Sect. page - 4 (bA02.XX) (031301)

Wiring (cont.)
Wiring guidelines:
1) Use shielded cable for signals. Connect the shield to signal common at the receiving end only. See the wiring
diagram on the previous page.

2) Use separate cables for separate sensors. Don't run signals from multiple sensors/sources through a shared
multi-conductor cable. Each sensor/source should run its signal(s) through a dedicated cable. See the wiring
diagram on the previous page.

3) Never use signal cable with unused conductors. Unused conductors can induce noise onto the signal
conductors. Always use a shielded cable with the correct number of conductors.

4) Physically separate signal cables from power cables. Do not bundle signal and power cables together or
route them through the same conduit or wire trays. Power wiring includes any AC or DC with current greater
than 1 amp or voltage greater than 24 volts, such as 115 VAC, 230 VAC, 460 VAC, armatures, fields, and
ignition wires.

5) Do not run signal cables near high magnetic or electrostatic generators. This includes motors, fans, power-
switching devices, contactors and ignitors. Aluminum shielded cable does not stop magnetic noise and braided
shielded cable only partially reduces magnetic noise. Neither can stop all noise or eliminate the need for good
signal routing. Do not run signal cables (encoders, prox sensors, analog sensor or control signals, etc.) along a
motor case or in the same conduit as motor power.

6) Properly connect the input power earth ground. Use a proper earth ground. Earth ground is used by internal
noise rejection circuitry.

7) Use a series resistor-capacitor type noise supressor across the coils of contactors, solenoids and relays
sharing AC power with, or in the same enclosure (panel) as the controller. These devices greatly reduce
conducted noise on the power line. They are available in two terminal packages.

8) When stepping power down from a higher AC voltage, use a line filter at the transformer secondary.

9) Tighten the terminal plug screws to 2.2 lb-in (0.25 N-m) torque for all wired terminals.

 MS332 Set-up Section (bA02.XX)

Master Mode (Set-up Procedure)

Description:
See ‘Description of Operating Modes Section \Master Mode’ for a block diagram and discussion of Master
Mode Operation.

Set-up Procedure:
1) Motor-Drive adjustment settings:
- Adjust the drive settings to match the motor according to the drive instructions.
- Set the maximum motor-drive speed to approximately 10% higher than your process maximum speed. This
provides some over-speed capability to the MS332 so it can close the loop at your process maximum speed.
- Set the acceleration/deceleration settings to the minimum time settings (fastest).
These adjustments minimize limitations imposed on the control loop by the drive, thereby allowing the MS332
more control.

2) Electrical connections:
Note: Do not apply power to the MS332 yet.
Connect all necessary components for Master Mode Operation. (See ‘Description of Operating Modes Section
\Master Mode’ for a block diagram showing basic necessary components). For details about terminal
connections and terminal strips, see the following:
- See ‘Reference Section \Hardware Illustrations’ for a general Rear-View diagram, showing the MS332
terminal strips and the individual pin-outs.
- See ‘Reference Section \Encoder-Index Inputs, Power Supply Outputs \Terminal Connections’ for a further
detailed diagram, showing the Encoder connections.
- See ‘Reference Section \Switch Inputs \Terminal Connections’ for a further detailed diagram, showing the
connections available for the Run/Stop switch.
- See ‘Reference Section \Analog Output \Terminal Connections’ for a further detailed diagram, showing the
Analog Output connections.
- See ‘Physical Installation Section \Wiring’ for details on proper wiring, shielding, grounding, etc.

Enter the maximum process output RPM in user units into Var01.01. This sets the units and maximum
value for the Master Mode set-point. To use RPM units, enter your process maximum feedback encoder
rpm.
Note: Var01.01 sets the units for speed set-points, speed scroll step, certain NPN Output alarm thresholds,
as well as the decimal point position of the Feedback Encoder Speed In User Units display option
(Var05.00 option code 0).
c) Var01.00 – Process Maximum Feedback Encoder RPM
This variable must hold the encoder RPM corresponding to Var01.01 (the maximum process output). Enter
this value into Var01.00.
Note: Var01.01 must be set to the maximum process output RPM in user units for the application.
- Applications using RPM user units have Var01.00 set to the same value as Var01.01 (the user units are
RPM).
- Applications using non-RPM user units require entering Var01.01's value converted to RPM units into
Var01.00. This value will be numerically different from Var01.01's value but will represent the same
maximum process output. See the Example in - Setting up Var01.00 and Var01.01 for non-RPM User
Units at the end of this Master mode set-up section.

5) Set-up for Motor-Drive Compatibility:

a) Non-Contactor Reversing Drives (input voltage alone controls both speed and direction of rotation):
Do not assign the Contactor Reverse NPN Output function (code 14 should not be entered into any of the
function assignment variables [Vars04.00 to 04.03]). This configures the MS332 analog output voltage to
swing bipolar (positive or negative voltage swing from the offset voltage).
b) Contactor Reversing Drives (a positive voltage controls speed, a contactor input determines direction of
rotation):
Assign the Contactor Reverse NPN Output function to an NPN Output (enter code 14 into one of the NPN
Output function assignment variables [Vars04.00 to 04.03]). This configures the MS332 analog output
voltage to swing unipolar (positive voltage swing from the offset voltage) for speed control and enables the
selected NPN Output to control rotation direction (NPN Output OFF = Fwd; ON = Rev).
Note: There are various contactor-input configurations and polarities among the various contactor
reversing type drives, so direct MS332 NPN Output to drive contact-input control may or may not be
possible. For drives incompatible with direct MS332 NPN Output control, a relay can be used between the
MS332 NPN Output and the drive contact-input(s) to achieve compatibility.
See ‘Set-up Section \NPN Outputs’ for details on how to set-up NPN Outputs.
See ‘Reference Section \NPN Outputs’ for more information on the Contactor Reverse Function.
See ‘Reference Section \Analog Output’ for more information on Drive Compatibility.

6) Encoder Test:
To avoid wasted set-up time, it is important to verify that the Feedback encoder channel A and B (quadrature)
lines are not improperly ordered (reversed).
a) Feedback Encoder A/B channel test
- Enter 2 into Var05.00 (display Feedback encoder frequency in Hz).
- With the MS332 Run/Stop switch OPEN (Stop), rotate the Feedback Encoder shaft in the forward
direction (relative to the process) while observing the MS332 display.
- The display should show a positive value. If the display shows a negative value, swap the Feedback
Encoder channel A and B wires at TB4 - 8 and TB4 - 9.

Set-up Sect. page - 3 (bA02.XX) (022301)

7) Analog Output Calibration:
a) Use the Analog Output Calibration Utility to set the Offset for no feedback encoder rotation (0 RPM) while
Pc Dac is 000.0.
b) Use the Analog Output Calibration Utility to set the Scale to turn the feedback encoder at Var01.00 Process
Maximum Feedback Encoder RPM while Pc Dac is 090.0.
See ‘Reference Section \Keypad \Keypad Menus \Diagnostic Menu \Analog Output Calibration Utility’ for
details on calibration.

8) Operational Variables:
a) Var03.00 - PID Tuning-Proportional Gain
Enter the default value of 32 for an initial value. Adjustments can be made later in step 9.
b) Var03.01 - PID Tuning-Integral Time Constant
Enter the default value of 2.0s for an initial value. Adjustments can be made later if needed.
c) Var03.02 - PID Tuning-Derivative Gain
Enter the default value of 0 to disable derivative compensation.
See ‘Reference Section \Operational Variables \PID Compensation’ for details on PID Vars.

d) Var07.13 - Master/Follower Mode Select

Enter 1 for Master mode operation.
e) Setting the Active Master Mode Speed Set-point:
Note: Master mode set-points must be entered in the same units as Var01.01.
Master mode set-points set the speed according to this formula:
desired Feedback RPM = (Set-point) * (Var01.00 / Var01.01)
Enter your desired value into the active set-point (the allowed range is from 0 to Var01.01).
Notes:
- The active set-point may be changed via the Change Set-point Menu or by Scrolling.
- The factory-default configuration selects SP00 (the first of the four Master mode set-points) as the active
set-point and sets its default value to 1000.
See ‘Reference Section \Keypad \Keypad Menus’ for details on the Change Set-point Menu.
See ‘Reference Section \Scrolling’ for details on Scrolling.
See ‘Reference Section \Operational Variables \Active Set-point Selection’ for details on using Var06.13
to select the active set-point.
See ‘Reference Section \Switch Inputs’ for details on using Switch Inputs to select the active set-point.

f) Acceleration/ Deceleration Ramp Times (Vars02.00 to 02.03)

Notes: Ramp times set the ramp rate and are entered in units of seconds. The time entered is the time to
ramp from 0 to Var01.00 MAX RPM (acceleration) or from Var01.00 MAX RPM to 0 (deceleration).
- Var02.00, Var02.01 are acceleration time variables.
- Var02.02, Var02.03 are deceleration time variables.
- Var02.00, Var02.02 form a pair and Var02.01, Var02.03 form a pair.
- The factory-default active pair is Var02.00, Var02.02.
Enter your desired acceleration and deceleration ramp times.
See ‘Reference Section \Operational Variables \Acceleration and Deceleration Ramps’ for details on using
Var02.05 to select the active Acceleration/Deceleration Ramp Pair using the keypad.
See ‘Reference Section \Switch Inputs’ for details on selecting the active Acceleration/Deceleration Ramp
Pair using a Switch Input.

Set-up Sect. page - 4 (bA02.XX) (022301)

9) PID Proportional Gain and Integral Time adjustments:
a) Var05.00 - Display Selection
Enter code 5 to choose closed-loop feedback error.
b) Close the Run/Stop switch. Observe the feedback behavior at the top of the acceleration ramp and while it
runs steady-state.
- If the feedback encoder response is unstable (large, erratic displayed error, motor jerking/oscillating), try
reducing Var03.00's value (proportional gain). If the feedback encoder response is sluggish (large, slow-
changing displayed error), try increasing Var03.00's value.
- If the Var03.00 changes don't significantly improve the feedback encoder response, or if they get to a
point of diminishing-return, try adjusting Var03.01 (integral time constant). Higher Var03.01 values will
improve loop-stability, lower Var03.01 values will increase loop-responsiveness.
- Generally speaking, it is desirable to have Var03.00 as large as possible and Var03.01 as small as
possible - this will result in the tightest, most responsive control. However if Var03.00 is set too high
and/or Var03.01 is set too low, the feedback loop will become unstable. Open the Run/Stop switch.
Repeat (b) several times.
Notes:
- Higher Proportional Gain (Var03.00) values make proportional compensation more aggressive (up to a
certain max value, then causing loop instability above that value).
- Lower Integral Time Constant (Var03.01) values make integral compensation more aggressive (down to
a certain min value, then causing loop instability below that value).
- With the PID properly adjusted, the displayed feedback error should drive towards zero at an acceptable
rate (determined by Var03.01) after the ramp. After that, the feedback error should stay zero (or small
and centered around zero).

10) Display Selection:

Var05.00 – Enter the selection code for the desired real-time display.
Note: Most Master mode applications use code 0 (Feedback Encoder Speed in User Units).
See ‘Reference Section \Display \Display Window Variables’ for details on Var05.00 selection codes.

11) Setting-up Var01.00 and Var01.01 for non-RPM User Units:

Applications using non-RPM user units (such as threads/min, gallons/hr) require entering Var01.01's value
converted to RPM units into Var01.00. This value will be numerically different from Var01.01's value but will
represent the same maximum process output.

Example (Master mode):

An MS332 is to control a water pump. We want to use gallons-per-hour (GPH) for both the set-point and
display units.
Known: The required process maximum flow is 90.0 GPH.
The pump is rated to deliver 100 GPH when its shaft is rotating 1500 RPM. Therefore, our
conversion factor is 1500 RPM / 100 GPH.
In this example, our user units are GPH and our application's maximum process output in user units is 90
GPH.
Steps:
1) The process output is flow (measured in GPH). The maximum process output is 90.0 GPH, so enter
90.0 into Var01.01.
2) Determine the process maximum feedback encoder RPM (Var01.00) from the maximum process
output:
Var01.00 value = (90 GPH) * (1500 RPM / 100 GPH) = 1350 RPM
Enter 1350 into Var01.00.

Now set-points between 0 and 90.0 GPH may be used and the display will read in units of GPH.

Ratio-Follower Mode (Set-up Procedure)
Description:
See ‘Description of Operating Modes Section \Ratio-Follower Mode’ for a block diagram and discussion of
Ratio-Follower Mode Operation.

Set-up Procedure:
1) Follower Motor-Drive adjustment settings:
- Adjust the drive settings to match the motor according to the drive instructions.
- Set the follower motor-drive's maximum motor speed to approximately 10% higher than your process
maximum speed. This provides some over-speed capability to the MS332 so it can close the loop at your
process maximum follower speed.
- Set the acceleration/deceleration settings to the minimum time settings (fastest).
These adjustments minimize limitations imposed on the control loop by the drive, thereby allowing the MS332
more control.

2) Electrical connections:
Note: Do not apply power to the MS332 yet.

Connect all necessary components for Ratio-Follower Mode Operation. (See ‘Description of Operating Modes
Section \Ratio-Follower Mode’ for a block diagram showing basic necessary components). For details about
terminal connections and terminal strips, see the following:

3) MS332 DIP Switch settings (bA02.XX):
Note: Do not apply power to the MS332 until the DIP Switches have been set.

This diagram shows the MS332 DIP switches (looking down on top of the MS332, front-panel on the left).
Do steps (a) and (b) to set all of the MS332 DIP Switches:
a) DIP switches corresponding to unused inputs (Indexes, Aux 0, Aux 1) are shown in this diagram in their
default ON/OFF positions. Set these DIP switches to their default positions.
b) DIP switches corresponding to inputs used by Ratio-Follower mode are shown in this diagram with an

4) Encoder PPRs, Max RPMs and Max set-point value:
a) Var01.05 - Lead Encoder PPR
Enter the lead encoder's pulses per revolution value into Var01.05.
b) Var01.03 – Process Maximum Lead Encoder RPM
Enter the maximum expected lead encoder RPM for the process into Var01.03. This value may be known
or it may have to be converted from lead process units into lead RPM. See example at end of this Ratio-
Follower mode set-up section.
c) Var01.04 – (Process Max Feedback Encoder RPM / Process Max Lead Encoder RPM) in User Units
The (output) feedback follower RPM to (input) lead RPM relationship is given by the equation:
FbRPM / LdRPM = Set-point * [(Var01.00 / Var01.03) / Var01.04].
This shows FbRPM/LdRPM to be the Feedback/Lead ratio of process max encoder RPMs (Var01.00 /
Var01.03) scaled by the factor (Set-point/Var01.04).
Var01.04 configures the units in which speed ratio set-points are entered and sets the max set-point value.
To use "unitless" RPM ratio user units, set Var01.04 equal to Var01.00 / Var01.03. The set-point value may
range from 0 to Var01.04.
Notes:
- Var01.04 also determines the units of Ratio-Follower set-point scroll steps and NPN Output speed ratio
alarm threshold parameters.
- The decimal pt. position entered into Var01.04 determines the decimal pt. position for the Follower Ratio
in User Units display option (Var05.00 option code 1).

Enter the [Process Max Feedback Encoder RPM / Process Max Lead Encoder RPM] in User Units into
Var01.04.
d) Var01.02 - Feedback (follower) Encoder PPR
Enter the feedback encoder's pulses per revolution value into Var01.02.
e) Var01.00 – Process Maximum Feedback (follower) Encoder RPM
Generally speaking, this value must be calculated from known information. The feedback encoder will turn
at the Process Maximum Feedback Encoder RPM when the lead encoder is running at its Process
Maximum Lead Encoder RPM (Var01.03's value) and the ratio set-point is set to its maximum (Var01.04's
value).
Enter the process maximum feedback encoder RPM into Var01.00.
Note: See example at end of this Ratio-Follower mode set-up section.

f) Var01.01 - Process Max Feedback Encoder RPM in User Units

For Ratio-Follower applications, enter the same value into Var01.01 that was entered into Var01.00.

5) Set-up for Motor-Drive Compatibility:

a) Non-Contactor Reversing Drives (input voltage alone controls both speed and direction of rotation):
Do not assign the Contactor Reverse NPN Output function (code 14 should not be entered into any of the
function assignment variables [Vars04.00 to 04.03]). This configures the MS332 analog output voltage to
swing bipolar (positive or negative voltage swing from the offset voltage).
b) Contactor Reversing Drives (a positive voltage controls speed, a contactor input determines direction of
rotation):
Assign the Contactor Reverse NPN Output function to an NPN Output (enter code 14 into one of the NPN
Output function assignment variables [Vars04.00 to 04.03]). This configures the MS332 analog output
voltage to swing unipolar (positive voltage swing from the offset voltage) for speed control and enables the
selected NPN Output to control rotation direction (NPN Output OFF = Fwd; ON = Rev).
Note: There are various contactor-input configurations and polarities among the various contactor-
reversing type drives, so direct MS332 NPN Output to drive contact-input control may or may not be
possible. For drives incompatible with direct MS332 NPN Output control, a relay can be used between the
MS332 NPN Output and the drive contact-input(s) to achieve compatibility.
See ‘Set-up Section \NPN Outputs’ for details on how to set-up NPN Outputs.
See ‘Reference Section \NPN Outputs’ for more information on the Contactor Reverse Function.
See ‘Reference Section \Analog Output’ for more information on Drive Compatibility.

Set-up Sect. page - 8 (bA02.XX) (022301)

6) Encoder Test:
To avoid wasted set-up time, it is important to verify that both the Feedback and Lead encoder channel A and B
(quadrature) lines are not improperly ordered (reversed).
a) Feedback Encoder A/B channel test
- Enter 2 into Var05.00 (display Feedback encoder frequency in Hz).
- With the MS332 Run/Stop switch OPEN (Stop), rotate the Feedback Encoder shaft in the forward
direction (relative to the process) while observing the MS332 display.
- The display should show a positive value. If the display shows a negative value, swap the Feedback
Encoder channel A and B wires at TB4 - 8 and TB4 - 9.
b) Lead Encoder A/B channel test
- Enter 3 into Var05.00 (display Lead encoder frequency in Hz).
- With the MS332 Run/Stop switch OPEN (Stop), rotate the Lead Encoder shaft in the forward direction
(relative to the process) while observing the MS332 display.
- The display should show a positive value. If the display shows a negative value, swap the Lead Encoder
channel A and B wires at TB4 - 3 and TB4 - 4.

7) Analog Output Calibration:

a) Use the Analog Output Calibration Utility to set the Offset for no feedback encoder rotation (0 RPM) while
Pc Dac is 000.0.
b) Use the Analog Output Calibration Utility to set the Scale to turn the feedback encoder at Var01.00 Process
Maximum Feedback Encoder RPM while Pc Dac is 090.0.
See ‘Reference Section \Keypad \Keypad Menus \Diagnostic Menu \Analog Output Calibration Utility’ for
details on calibration.

8) Operational Variables:
a) Var03.00 - PID Tuning-Proportional Gain
Enter the default value of 32 for an initial value. Adjustments will be made later in step 9.
b) Var03.01 - PID Tuning-Integral Time Constant
Enter the default value of 2.0s for an initial value. Adjustments will be made later in step 9.
c) Var03.02 - PID Tuning-Derivative Gain
Enter the default value of 0 to disable derivative compensation.
d) Var03.04 – Zero Lead Speed PID Control
Enter the code to select desired zero lead speed PID operation. The factory-default is code 0.
See ‘Reference Section \Operational Variables \PID Compensation’ for details on PID Vars.

e) Var07.13 - Master/Follower Mode Select

Enter 0 for follower mode operation.
f) Var01.06 - Follower Mode Configuration
Enter 0, for Ratio-Follower mode.
g) Setting the Active Ratio-Follower Speed Ratio Set-point:
Note: Ratio-Follower mode set-points must be entered using the user units determined by Var01.04.
Ratio-Follower mode set-points set the Feedback/Lead speed ratio according to this formula:
Feedback RPM / Lead RPM =
(Process Max Feedback RPM / Process Max Lead RPM) * (Ratio Set-point / Var01.04)
Therefore:
Ratio Set-point =
(desired Feedback RPM / Lead RPM) * (Process Max Lead RPM / Process Max Feedback RPM) * (Var01.04)
Enter your desired value into the active set-point (the allowed range is from 0 to Var01.04).
Notes:
- The active set-point may be changed via the Change Set-point Menu or by Scrolling.
- The factory-default configuration selects SP04 (the first of the four Ratio-Follower mode set-points) as
the active set-point and sets its default value to 1.000.
- See example at end of this Ratio-Follower mode set-up section.
See ‘Reference Section \Keypad \Keypad Menus’ for details on the Change Set-point Menu.
See ‘Reference Section \Scrolling’ for details on Scrolling.

Set-up Sect. page - 9 (bA02.XX) (022301)

 See ‘Reference Section \Operational Variables \Active Set-point Selection’ for details on using Var06.14
to select the active set-point.
See ‘Reference Section \Switch Inputs’ for details on using Switch Inputs to select the active set-point.

h) Acceleration/ Deceleration Ramp Times (Vars02.00 to 02.03).

Notes: Ramp times set the ramp rate and are entered in units of seconds. The time entered is the time to
ramp from 0 to Var01.00 MAX RPM (acceleration) or from Var01.00 MAX RPM to 0 (deceleration).
- Var02.00, Var02.01 are acceleration time variables.
- Var02.02, Var02.03 are deceleration time variables.
- Var02.00, Var02.02 form a pair and Var02.01, Var02.03 form a pair.
- The factory-default active pair is Var02.00, Var02.02.
Enter your desired acceleration and deceleration ramp times.
See ‘Reference Section \Operational Variables \Acceleration and Deceleration Ramps’ for details on using
Var02.05 to select the active Acceleration/Deceleration Ramp Pair using the keypad.
See ‘Reference Section \Switch Inputs’ for details on selecting the active Acceleration/Deceleration Ramp
Pair using a Switch Input.

9) PID Proportional Gain and Integral Time adjustments:

a) Var05.00 - Display Selection
Enter code 5 to choose closed-loop follower error.
b) Run the lead encoder at the process maximum value (Var01.03 RPM).
c) Close the Run/Stop switch (with the lead running). Observe the follower behavior at the top of the
acceleration ramp and while it runs steady-state.
- If the feedback (follower) encoder response is unstable (large, erratic displayed error, motor
jerking/oscillating), try reducing Var03.00's value (proportional gain). If the feedback (follower) encoder
response is sluggish (large, slow-changing displayed error), try increasing Var03.00.
- If the Var03.00 changes don't significantly improve the feedback (follower) encoder response, or if they
get to a point of diminishing-return, try adjusting Var03.01 (integral time constant). Higher Var03.01
values will improve loop-stability, lower Var03.01 values increase loop-responsiveness.
- Generally speaking, it is desirable to have Var03.00 as large as possible and Var03.01 as small as
possible - this will result in the tightest, most responsive following. However if Var03.00 is set too high
and/or Var03.01 is set too low, the follower loop will become unstable. Open the Run/Stop switch.
Repeat (c) several times.
Notes:
- Higher Proportional Gain (Var03.00) values make proportional compensation more aggressive (up to a
certain max value, then causing loop instability above that value).
- Lower Integral Time Constant (Var03.01) values make integral compensation more aggressive (down to
a certain min value, then causing loop instability below that value).
- With the PID properly adjusted, the displayed following error should drive towards zero at an acceptable
rate (determined by Var03.01) after the ramp. After that, the following error should stay zero (or small
and centered around zero).

10) Display selection

Var05.00 - Enter the selection code for the desired real-time display.
Note: Most Ratio-Follower mode applications use code 1 (Follower Ratio in User Units) or code 5
(Closed-loop Error in feedback encoder pulses).
See ‘Reference Section \Display \Display Window Variables’ for details on Var05.00 selection codes.

Set-up Sect. page - 10 (bA02.XX) (022301)

11) Example (Ratio-Follower mode):
A continuous-duty wastewater treatment system requires that neutralizer solution be precisely dispensed in
proportion to incoming wastewater flow. The maximum dispensing ratio will be 12.0 mL per L of wastewater.
The incoming wastewater flow is controlled by a motor-driven pump with an encoder on the motor shaft.
The neutralizer flow is also controlled by a motor-driven pump with an encoder on its motor shaft.
The MS332 will control the neutralizer pump with a set-point value entered in units of mL neutralizer per L
wastewater.
Known:
Lead (wastewater) motor/encoder/pump:
Motor rated max speed: 1800 RPM
Encoder: 60 PPR
Pump characteristic: 0.5 L per shaft revolution.
The lead pump will run at a maximum flow of 800 L/min
Follower (neutralizer) motor/encoder/pump:
Motor rated max speed: 1800 RPM
Encoder: 60 PPR
Pump characteristic: 10 mL per shaft revolution.
The follower pump motor runs at an RPM determined by both the lead RPM and the
selected (mL neutralizer / L wastewater) set-point.

The Encoder PPRs, Max set-point value, and Max RPMs are set as follows for this example:
Var01.05 - Lead Encoder PPR
Enter 60 (lead encoder PPR) into Var01.05.
Var01.03 – Process Maximum Lead Encoder RPM
We must convert the wastewater maximum flow of 800 L/min into lead RPM:
(800 L/min)*(1 shaft revolution / 0.5 L) = 1600 RPM.
Enter 1600 into Var01.03.
Note that this value is less than the lead motor's rated max of 1800 RPM.
Var01.04 - Max Ratio Set-point Value in User Units
We want to program the flow ratio in units of mL neutralizer per L wastewater, so we enter the required
maximum of 12.0 mL neutralizer per L wastewater.
Enter 12.0 into Var01.04.
Var01.02 - Feedback (follower) Encoder PPR
Enter 60 (feedback encoder PPR) into Var01.02.
Var01.00 – Process Maximum Feedback Encoder RPM
This value must be calculated from known information. The feedback encoder will rotate at its process
maximum RPM when the lead encoder rotates at its process maximum lead RPM and the set-point is at its
maximum.
Process Max Feedback Encoder RPM =
(800 L wastewater / min) * (12.0 mL neutralizer / L wastewater) * (1 follower rev / 10 mL neutralizer)
= 960 follower rev / min.
Enter 960 into Var01.00.
Note that this value is less than the follower motor's rated max of 1800 RPM.
Var01.01 – Maximum Master Mode Set-point Value in User Units
Enter the same value into Var01.01 that was entered into Var01.00.

Now any setpoint value between 0.0 and 12.0 may be entered to set the follower pump's mL neutralizer per L
wastewater dispensing ratio.

Index-Follower Mode (Set-up Procedure)
Description:
See ‘Description of Operating Modes Section \Index-Follower Mode’ for a block diagram and discussion of
Index-Follower Mode Operation.

Set-up Procedure:
1) Follower Motor-Drive adjustment settings:
- Adjust the drive settings to match the motor according to the drive instructions.
- Set the follower motor-drive's maximum motor speed to approximately 10% higher than your process
maximum speed. This provides some over-speed capability to the MS332 so it can close the loop at your
process maximum follower speed.
- Set the acceleration/deceleration settings to the minimum time settings (fastest).
These adjustments minimize limitations imposed on the control loop by the drive, thereby allowing the MS332
more control.

2) Electrical connections:
Note: Do not apply power to the MS332 yet.

Connect all necessary components for Index-Follower Mode Operation. Connect a small wire from the rear-
panel TB3-3 (Switch Input 1) to TB3-5 (Ground C). This will serve as a closed switch to the Closed-
loop/Open-loop Switch Input Function (more on this in step 7). (See ‘Description of Operating Modes Section
\Index-Follower Mode’ for a block diagram showing basic necessary components).

terminal strips and the individual pin-outs.
- See ‘Reference Section \Encoder-Index Inputs, Power Supply Outputs \Terminal Connections’ for a further

4) Encoder, Index Averaging and Index Matching Variables:
a) Var01.02 – Feedback (follower) Encoder PPR
Enter the feedback encoder's pulses per revolution.
b) Var01.05 - Lead Encoder PPR
Enter the lead encoder's pulses per revolution.
c) Var01.09 – Pulses per Index Measurement and Averaging Control
Enter 0.
d) Var01.07 - Feedback PPI
Enter the number of feedback encoder pulses per feedback index pulse.
e) Var01.08 - Lead PPI
Enter the number of lead encoder pulses per lead index pulse.
Note: If either (or both) the Var01.07 or 01.08 values are unknown, use the Encoder Pulses-Per-Index Learn
utility to determine and enter the variable values. See ‘Reference Section \Keypad \Keypad Menus \Diagnostics
Menu \Encoder Pulses-Per-Index Learn Utility’ for details.
f) Var01.10 - Feedback Index Pulses per Match
Enter the desired number of feedback index pulses per match.
g) Var01.11 - Lead Index Pulses per Match
Enter the desired number of lead index pulses per match.
Note: For 1:1 index matching, enter 1 into Var01.10, 1 into Var01.11;
For 3:2 index matching, enter 3 into Var01.10, 2 into Var01.11; etc.
See ‘Description of Operating Modes Section \Index-Follower Mode \Control Theory’ for information on Index
Matching.
h) Var01.03 - Process Maximum Lead Encoder RPM
Enter the maximum lead encoder RPM for your process.
Note: If this value is unknown, enter code 3 into Display Selection Var05.00 (display lead encoder speed
in Hz), run the lead at the process maximum speed and record the lead frequency. Use the following
formula to calculate the Var01.03 process maximum lead RPM:
Var01.03 value = (measured max lead frequency in Hz) * (60 / Var01.05)
i) Var01.00 - Process Maximum Feedback (follower) Encoder RPM
Note: This is the feedback (follower) encoder RPM corresponding to the Process Maximum Lead Encoder
RPM (Var01.03). If unknown, it can be calculated from the following formula:
Var01.00 value = (Var01.03) * (Var01.07/Var01.02) * (Var01.05/Var01.08) * (Var01.10/Var01.11)
Enter this value into Var01.00.
j) Var01.01 - Process Max Feedback Encoder RPM in User Units
For Index-Follower applications, enter the same value into Var01.01 that was entered into Var01.00.

5) Set-up for Motor-Drive Compatibility:

a) Non-Contactor Reversing Drives (control voltage determines both speed and direction of motor rotation):
For these drives, a positive control voltage rotates the motor in one direction while a negative control
voltage rotates the motor in the opposite direction.
Do not assign the Contactor Reverse NPN Output function (code 14 should not be entered into any of the
function assignment variables [Vars04.00 to 04.03]). Leaving this function unassigned configures the
MS332 analog output voltage to swing bipolar (positive or negative voltage swing from the offset voltage).
b) Contactor Reversing Drives (positive control voltage determines speed, contactor input determines
direction of motor rotation):
Assign the Contactor Reverse NPN Output function to an NPN Output (enter code 14 into one of the NPN
Output function assignment variables [Vars04.00 to 04.03]). This configures the MS332 analog output
voltage to swing unipolar (positive voltage swing from the offset voltage) for speed control and enables the
selected NPN Output to control rotation direction (NPN Output OFF = Fwd; ON = Rev).
Note: There are various contactor-input configurations and polarities among the various contactor-
reversing type drives, so direct MS332 NPN Output to drive contact-input control may or may not be
possible. For drives incompatible with direct MS332 NPN Output control, a relay can be used between the
MS332 NPN Output and the drive contact-input(s) to achieve compatibility.
See ‘Set-up Section \NPN Outputs’ for details on how to set-up NPN Outputs.

Set-up Sect. page - 14 (bA02.XX) (022301)

 See ‘Reference Section \NPN Outputs’ for more information on the Contactor Reverse Function.
See ‘Reference Section \Analog Output’ for more information on Drive Compatibility.

6) Encoder Test:
To avoid wasted set-up time, it is important to verify that both the Feedback and Lead encoder channel A and B
(quadrature) lines are not improperly ordered (reversed).
a) Feedback Encoder A/B channel test
- Enter 2 into Var05.00 (display Feedback encoder frequency in Hz).
- With the MS332 Run/Stop switch OPEN (Stop), rotate the Feedback Encoder shaft in the forward
direction (relative to the process) while observing the MS332 display.
- The display should show a positive value. If the display shows a negative value, swap the Feedback
Encoder channel A and B wires at TB4 - 8 and TB4 - 9.
b) Lead Encoder A/B channel test
- Enter 3 into Var05.00 (display Lead encoder frequency in Hz).
- With the MS332 Run/Stop switch OPEN (Stop), rotate the Lead Encoder shaft in the forward direction
(relative to the process) while observing the MS332 display.
- The display should show a positive value. If the display shows a negative value, swap the Lead Encoder
channel A and B wires at TB4 - 3 and TB4 - 4.

7) Analog Output Calibration:

a) Use the Analog Output Calibration Utility to set the Offset for no feedback encoder rotation (0 RPM) while
Pc Dac is 000.0.
b) Use the Analog Output Calibration Utility to set the Scale to turn the feedback encoder at Var01.00 Process
Maximum Feedback Encoder RPM while Pc Dac is 090.0.
See ‘Reference Section \Keypad \Keypad Menus \Diagnostic Menu \Analog Output Calibration Utility’ for
details on calibration.

8) Operational Variables:
a) Var03.00 - PID Tuning-Proportional Gain
Enter the default value of 32 for an initial value. Adjustments will be made later in step 9.
b) Var03.01 - PID Tuning-Integral Time Constant
Enter the default value of 2.0s for an initial value. Adjustments will be made later in step 9.
c) Var03.02 - PID Tuning-Derivative Gain
Enter the default value of 0 to disable derivative compensation.
d) Var03.04 – Zero Lead Speed PID Control
Enter the code to select desired zero lead speed PID operation. The factory-default is code 0.
See ‘Reference Section \Operational Variables \PID Compensation’ for details on PID Vars.
e) Var07.00- Switch Input 1 Function Assignment Variable
Enter code 8 to assign the Closed-loop/Open-loop Switch Input Function to Switch Input 1.
f) Var07.12 - Open-loop Configuration
Enter 2 to configure the Closed-loop/Open-loop Switch Input Function to open only the index loop.
Note: The Closed-loop/Open-loop Switch Input Function is used here to temporarily disable index correction
during set-up (PID adjustments) and troubleshooting. This switch input assignment and configuration, along
with the closed-switch wire installed back in step 2 disables index correction.
g) Var07.13 - Master/Follower Mode Select
Enter 0 for follower mode operation.
h) Var01.06 - Follower Mode Configuration
Enter 1, for Index-Follower mode.

Set-up Sect. page - 15 (bA02.XX) (022301)

8) Operational Variables (cont.):
i) Acceleration/ Deceleration Ramp Times (Vars02.00 to 02.03).
Notes: Ramp times set the ramp rate and are entered in units of seconds. The time entered is the time to
ramp from 0 to Var01.00 MAX RPM (acceleration) or from Var01.00 MAX RPM to 0 (deceleration).
- Var02.00, Var02.01 are acceleration time variables.
- Var02.02, Var02.03 are deceleration time variables.
- Var02.00, Var02.02 form a pair and Var02.01, Var02.03 form a pair.
- The factory-default active pair is Var02.00, Var02.02.
Enter your desired acceleration and deceleration ramp times.
See ‘Reference Section \Operational Variables \Acceleration and Deceleration Ramps’ for details on using
Var02.05 to select the active Acceleration/Deceleration Ramp Pair using the keypad.
See ‘Reference Section \Switch Inputs’ for details on selecting the active Acceleration/Deceleration Ramp
Pair using a Switch Input.

9) PID Proportional Gain and Integral Time adjustments (index phase correction disabled):
a) Var05.00 - Display Selection
Enter code 5 to choose closed-loop follower error.
b) Run the lead encoder at the process maximum value (Var01.03 RPM).
c) Close the Run/Stop switch (with the lead running). Observe the follower behavior at the top of the
acceleration ramp and while it runs steady-state.
- If the feedback (follower) encoder response is unstable (large, erratic displayed error, motor
jerking/oscillating), try reducing Var03.00's value (proportional gain). If the feedback (follower) encoder
response is sluggish (large, slow-changing displayed error), try increasing Var03.00's value.
- If the Var03.00 changes don't significantly improve the feedback (follower) encoder response, or if they
get to a point of diminishing-return, try adjusting Var03.01 (integral time constant). Higher Var03.01
values will improve loop-stability, lower Var03.01 values will increase loop-responsiveness.
- Generally speaking, it is desirable to have Var03.00 as large as possible and Var03.01 as small as
possible - this will result in the tightest, most responsive following. However if Var03.00 is set too high
and/or Var03.01 is set too low, the follower loop will become unstable. Open the Run/Stop switch.
Repeat (c) several times.
Notes:
- Higher Proportional Gain (Var03.00) values make proportional compensation more aggressive (up to a
certain max value, then causing loop instability above that value).
- Lower Integral Time Constant (Var03.01) values make integral compensation more aggressive (down to
a certain min value, then causing loop instability below that value).
- With the PID properly adjusted, the displayed following error should drive towards zero at an acceptable
rate (determined by Var03.01) after the ramp. After that, the following error should stay zero (or small
and centered around zero).

Set-up Sect. page - 16 (bA02.XX) (022301)

10) Enabling and adjusting index phase correction:
a) Var05.00 - Display Selection
Enter code 6 to display Index Phase Error.
b) Var07.12 - Open-loop Configuration
Enter code 0 to disable the Closed-loop/Open-loop Switch Input Function from opening either the index or
encoder feedback loops.
c) Var07.14 - Phase Change Release Time
This variable sets the time over which index phase errors are introduced into the PID loop for correction.
Longer time values cause slower (and smoother) corrections, shorter values cause faster (more abrupt)
corrections. If not already set to the factory-default value of 1.0s, enter 1.0 into Var07.14. If necessary,
this value may be changed later in step (e).
d) Run the lead encoder at the process maximum value (Var01.03 RPM).
e) Close the Run/Stop switch (with the lead running), observing the initial index phase correction that occurs
after the follower ramp.
- Index phase correction can be observed at the display. The display shows zero during and immediately
after the follower ramp, then the display changes from zero to some nonzero value. This value is the
index phase error and it should immediately begin shrinking towards zero as the follower motor under-
speeds or over-speeds to correct the phase.
- If the default Var07.14 value causes index phase correction to take too long, try decreasing Var07.14 to
less than 1.0s. If excessive overshoot/undershoot is observed or if the follower appears to be "hunting" to
get into phase, try increasing the value of Var07.14.
When properly adjusted, the displayed error should shrink towards zero with minimal over/under-shoot
and then stay zero (or small and centered around zero).
f) Open the Run/Stop switch (the follower will ramp down to a stop).
g) Repeat (e) and (f) several times until acceptable performance is achieved.
Notes:
- Index phase correction does not occur during follower ramps. Index pulses occurring during the follower
ramp are ignored.
- Index phase correction first occurs after the follower motor has ramped up to speed, at the first feedback
index pulse after the first lead index pulse.

11) Setting the Active Index-Follower Phase Set-point

Index-follower mode set-points are entered in units of feedback (follower) encoder pulses. This sets the relative
phase of the effective feedback (follower) index pulses to the effective lead index pulses.
- A positive set-point causes the effective feedback index pulses to occur before the effective lead index pulses.
- A zero set-point causes the effective feedback index pulses to occur concurrently with the effective lead index
pulses.
- A negative set-point causes the effective feedback index pulses to occur after the effective lead index pulses.
Depending on your process and the physical position of your index pulse sources, a nonzero set-point may be
needed. If known, enter the desired set-point value. If unknown, try different values (by active Set-point
up/down scroll or Change Set-point Menu) until the desired process phase relationship is found.
Notes:
- In 1:1 index pulse matching, every feedback index pulse and every lead index pulse is effective.
- In 3:2 index pulse matching, every third feedback index pulse and every second lead index pulse are
effective. See ‘Description of Operating Modes Section \Index-Follower Mode \Control Theory’ for
information on Index Matching.
- The active set-point is changed via the Change Set-point Menu or by Scrolling.
- The factory-default configuration selects SP08 (the first of the four phase set-points) as the active set-point
and sets its default value to zero.
See ‘Reference Section \Keypad \Keypad Menus’ for details on the Change Set-point Menu.
See ‘Reference Section \Scrolling’ for details on Scrolling.
See ‘Reference Section \Operational Variables \Active Set-point Selection’ for details on using Var06.15 to
select the active set-point.
See ‘Reference Section \Switch Inputs’ for details on using Switch Inputs to select the active set-point.

Index phase is the feedback encoder position when the lead index pulse arrives minus the feedback encoder
position when the feedback index pulse arrives.
Index phase error is the difference between the actual index phase and the index phase set-point.
Index phase error is calculated upon receipt of a feedback index pulse.
Display value = (Index phase set-point – Index phase)
Code 7: Displays the feedback index phase in feedback encoder pulse units (Index-follower mode only).
Index phase is the feedback encoder position when the lead index pulse arrives minus the feedback encoder
position when the feedback index pulse arrives.
Display value = (Fdbk encoder pulse count at Lead index – Fdbk encoder pulse count at Fdbk index)
Note: A positive value indicates the feedback index pulse leads (arrives before) the lead index pulse. A
negative value indicates the feedback index pulse lags (arrives after) the lead index pulse.

Analog Output Calibration Utility:
This utility facilitates changing the Analog Output's offset voltage and DAC code voltage sensitivity. When
invoked, the analog output voltage (Vout) obeys the following formula:
Vout = oFFSET volts + (SCALE volts) * (Pc dAC / 100)
- Pc dAC sets a temporary DAC code for the duration of this utility. The units of Pc dAC are +/– % of full-scale
DAC (4095 for the 12-bit DAC). Pc dAC may range from -100.0 to 100.0%.
- oFFSET sets the Vout component that is independent of DAC code. It is the Vout present when Pc dAC is 000.0
(DAC code 0). oFFSET is typically adjusted to produce no feedback encoder rotation when Pc dAC is 000.0.
Once changed, this calibration setting will remain until explicitly changed again.
- SCALE sets the sensitivity of the DAC-code-dependent Vout component. SCALE should be adjusted to turn the
feedback encoder at (+/–) Var01.00 Process Max Feedback Encoder RPM when Pc dAC is (+/–) 090.0 (DAC
code 3686). Once changed, this calibration setting will remain until explicitly changed again.
Notes:
- Usually, the Analog Output is calibrated in the feedback encoder's forward direction (the direction produced
by a positive Pc dAC). However, it can be calibrated in the reverse direction (the direction produced by a
negative Pc dAC). Although the MS332 can run the feedback encoder/motor in both directions regardless of
the direction in which it was calibrated, it is recommended that the Analog Output be calibrated in the
direction produced in your application.
- In order to run your motor in the reverse direction, the MS332 must first be properly configured and wired to
your drive according to your drive’s reversing method (negative voltage input or contact closure). See the
‘Set-up for Motor-Drive Compatibility’ step, in your selected operating mode’s set-up procedure for details
(‘Set-up Section \your mode \Set-up for Motor-Drive Compatibility’).
- The variables Var01.00 (Process Max Feedback Encoder RPM) and Var01.02 (Feedback Encoder PPR) must
both be written with correct values before running this Analog Output Calibration Utility.

Level Two – Select Analog Output calibration characteristic: Use this level to select from among Pc dAC,
oFFSET, and SCALE. This is on the second level of the Diagnostic Menu.
Note: Enter level two by selecting “Anou” in the display window from level one of the Diagnostic Menu. (See
Keypad Menus \Diagnostics Menu \ Level One for a discussion of level one).
LED’s / Display Window:
- All of the status led’s are lit except for the ERR led.
- Display Window initially shows the last-changed Analog Output
characteristic, with all the display characters flashing.
(Ex. Showing “Pc dAC” for temporary Percent of DAC code).

adjustments may be observed.
- When the desired adjustment is achieved, press to save the new setting
and return to level two. OR
Press to exit the Diagnostic Menu and return to level zero.
Note: Level three changes to Pc dAC, oFFSET and SCALE settings
take immediate effect at the Analog Output but remain temporary (for
the duration of this utility) until is pressed to store the new setting.
The effect of pressing for any one of the three selections is
described below:
- Pc dAC is stored, remaining in effect for the duration of the Analog
Output Calibration utility. This gives the user control over the DAC
for the purpose of setting SCALE.
- oFFSET is stored in non-volatile memory and remains in permanent
effect at the Analog Output until it is deliberately changed again.
- SCALE is stored in non-volatile memory and remains in permanent
effect at the Analog Output until it is deliberately changed again.

Encoder Pulses Per Index Learn Utility (Index-Follower mode applications only):
This utility determines your system's encoder pulses per index pulse (PPI) values and writes them into Var01.07
(Feedback PPI) and Var01.08 (Lead PPI). When invoked, the selected feedback or lead encoder is rotated while the
PPI value is automatically measured then written into the appropriate PPI variable. This utility is useful for setting
up applications where these values are not initially known.
Notes:
- To learn the Var01.08 (Lead PPI) value, the lead encoder must first be turning. Turning the lead motor and
encoder is accomplished at the lead drive control, apart from the MS332.
- To learn the Var01.07 (Feedback PPI) value, the feedback (follower) encoder must first be turning. This is
accomplished with the FbSpd (Feedback Speed) selection from inside this utility (explained below).

Level Two - Select PPI learn operation: Use this level to select one of three PPI learn operations. The operations
and their mnemonics are described below. This is on the second level of the Diagnostic Menu.

PPI learn operations:

1) LdLrn (Lead Learn)
This operation measures the Lead PPI value and writes it into Var01.08.
2) FbLrn (Feedback Learn)
This operation measures the Feedback PPI value and writes it into Var01.07.
3) FbSPd (Feedback Speed)
This operation allows scrolling the DAC up or down, setting the feedback encoder speed for FbLrn.

Note: Enter level two by selecting “PPlLrn” in the display window while at level one of the Diagnostic Menu.
(See Keypad Menus \Diagnostics Menu \Level One for a discussion of level one).
LED’s / Display Window:

Keypad Security Menu:

Keypad Security allows selective disabling of keypad menu editing and level-zero scrolling when the keypad is
locked. The effect of each selected disable is as follows:

Keypad feature disabled: Effect when disabled:

Change Variable Menu editing Menu may be entered, variables may be observed but not changed.
Change Set-point Menu editing Menu may be entered, variables may be observed but not changed.
Diagnostic Menu Menu may not be entered.
Set-point Scroll Attempts to scroll the active set-point from the keypad have no effect.
Advance/Retard Scroll Attempts to Advance or Retard scroll from the keypad have no effect.

Keypad Security Variables:

Security is controlled by three Keypad Security Variables (found in the Keypad Security Menu):
1) PASIn (PASsword code Input):
This 6-digit variable is where a code is entered to lock or unlock the keypad. To unlock the keypad, enter the
password code value into PASln. Any other code locks the keypad. This variable may be thought of as a
keyhole for which only one key or code (the password code) will unlock the keypad.
2) PASdEF (PASsword dEFinition):
This 6-digit variable defines the password code for unlocking. To unlock the keypad, the numerical value of
PASdEF (the password code) must be entered into PASln.
This variable may be thought of as defining the key to the keypad. Therefore, changing this variable may be
thought of as changing the lock.
Note: When PASIn’s value is different from PASdEF's value, the keypad is locked.
Conversely, when PASIn’s value is identical to PASdEF's value, the keypad is unlocked.
3) SECdEF (keypad SECurity dEFinition):
This 6-digit variable defines the effect of keypad-lock. This is where the previously mentioned selective
disabling is defined. When the keypad is locked, SECdEF's five right-most digits define which (if any) keypad
features are lock-disabled.
SECdEF’s digit to keypad-lock-effect correspondence is as follows:
SECdEF digits
0 X X X X X

Change Variable Menu editing

Change Set-point Menu editing
Diagnostic Menu
Set-point Scroll
Advance/Retard Scroll
Unused (must be zero)

The allowed SECdEF digit values and their effects are as follows:
Digit value Effect on corresponding keypad feature when keypad is locked
1 Disabled
0 Enabled
Note: Each SECdEF digit will accept a 1 or a 0 only. The left-most digit is unused and must be 0.

Note: When the keypad is unlocked, each of the three keypad security variables may be observed and changed in
the Keypad Security Menu. The effects of keypad-lock on the security variables are as follows:
Keypad security variable: Effect of keypad-lock:
PASIn None (always observable and changeable).
PASdEF May not be observed or changed.
SECdEF May be observed but not changed.

Keypad Menus \Keypad Security Menu (cont.):

Using Keypad Security:

Note: The state of the keypad (locked or unlocked) may be observed by viewing the PASdEF variable:
- If unlocked, then the numerical password value is displayed.
- If locked, then the “HlddEn” mnemonic is displayed.

Unlocking:
1) Enter the password code into PASIn. An unlocked keypad can be verified by observing PASdEF's value.

Defining the effect of keypad-lock:

1) Unlock the keypad by entering the password code into PASIn.
2) Enter the SECdEF settings (digit values for desired disables during keypad-lock).

Locking:
1) Enter a number other than the password code into PASIn. A locked keypad can be verified by attempting to
observe PASdEF's value.

Changing the password code:

1) Unlock the keypad by entering the current password code into PASIn.
2) Enter the new password code into PASdEF.

Important note regarding Keypad Security:

In any environment where tampering is a concern, it is strongly suggested that the keypad be kept locked with
knowledge of the password code limited to the intended individuals. This is suggested even if no keypad features
are set for lock-disable in SECdEF (i.e., when SECdEF is set to 000000). This is because anyone who changes the
"lock" also changes the "key". When the keypad is unlocked (i.e., PASIn and PASdEF hold the same values)
anyone can change PASdEF, thereby changing the lock with a new and unknown (to you) password code.

Leaving the keypad unlocked is simlar to removing the lock from a door: Anyone can put on a new lock (change
PASdEF), and unless the individual is thoughtful enough to leave the new key in the new lock (enter PASdEF's new
value into PASIn), you are locked out!

Keypad Menu Access:

The Keypad Security, Change Variable and Change Set-point Menus can be entered at any time - even when the
MS332 is running (i.e., when the Run/Stop Switch is closed and the Fast Stop Switch is open, if assigned).
However, the selective keypad security determines if variables or set-points are changeable or not, once inside the
respective menus. The MS332 continues all real-time control operations when in the Keypad Security, Change
Variable and Change Set-point Menus. Changed security variables, changed program variables and changed set-
points take immediate effect.

Assuming the selective keypad security is disabled, the Diagnostic Menu can be entered only if the Run/Stop Switch
is open and the DAC is at zero. Therefore, no real-time control operations occur while in the Diagnostic Menu.

Ref. Sect. page - 26 (bA02.XX) (101701)

Switch Inputs (Terminal Connections, Device Compatibility,
Functions, Switch Input Vars [07.00 to 07.06])
The MS332 has eight Switch Inputs. One (Switch Input 0) is dedicated to the Run/Stop Function. Each of the other
seven Switch Inputs may have one of twelve different Switch Input Functions assigned to them by the user or they
may be left with no functions assigned to them. For ON/OFF type functions, the function is turned ON (or active)
by connecting the Switch Input to Ground C, and turned OFF (or inactive) by disconnecting the Switch Input from
Ground C. MS332 Switch Inputs are compatible with mechanical ON/OFF switches, relays and open-collector NPN
transistors. (See ‘Device Compatibility’ diagram below).

Switch Inputs \Functions:
Run/Stop Function:
The Run/Stop function is permanently assigned to Switch Input 0. When Switch Input 0 is closed, the MS332 will
drive its Analog Output to the set-point/calibration/lead-speed (if follower) determined voltage and then begin
decoding encoder inputs. When Switch Input 0 is opened, the MS332 will cease decoding encoder inputs and drive
the Analog Output to the zero DAC (offset) voltage.
If the Run/Stop switch is: Then the command is:
Open STOP
Closed RUN
Note: In Master or Follower modes, the Analog Output will ramp. In Jog mode, the Analog Output will ramp or
step, depending on the Jog Mode Configuration Var07.11.

Jog Mode Function:

Selects Jog mode when the assigned Switch Input is closed. The feedback encoder then runs at the Jog mode set-
point when the Run/Stop switch is closed. Var06.12 sets the Jog mode speed. (See ‘Reference Section \Operational
Variables \Set-points and Set-point Units’ for details on Var06.12).
Note: Selecting Jog mode (by closing the Jog mode function-assigned Switch Input) overrides the Master/Follower
operating mode selection.

Set-point Scroll-down Function:

Accesses the Set-point Scroll-down feature when the assigned Switch Input is closed, and de-accesses this feature
when the Switch is opened. (See ‘Reference Section \Scrolling’ for details on Set-point Scroll).

Set-point Scroll-up Function:

Accesses the Set-point Scroll-up feature when the assigned Switch Input is closed, and de-accesses this feature when
the Switch is opened. (See ‘Reference Section \Scrolling’ for details on Set-point Scroll).

Active Set-point Select Function(s):

Selects different set-points when assigned Switch Input(s) are open/closed. If only one of the set-point select
functions is assigned to a Switch Input, then that function selects from only two mode-determined set-points, as
shown in the top half of the table. If both set-point select functions are assigned to Switch Inputs, then both
functions work together to select from all four mode-determined set-points, as shown in the bottom half of the table:
(Note: Code ‘4’ and ‘5’ refer to Switch Input function codes).
If the code 4-assigned And if the code 5-assigned Then the selected mode-
Switch Input is: Switch Input is: determined Active Set-point is:
Open (not assigned) setpt 0
Closed (not assigned) setpt 1
(not assigned) Open setpt 0
(not assigned) Closed setpt 2
Open Open setpt 0
Closed Open setpt 1
Open Closed setpt 2
Closed Closed setpt 3
Note: Assigning codes 4 and/or 5 to Switch Inputs overrides the Master mode set-point select Var06.13, the Ratio-
Follower mode set-point select Var06.14 and the Index-Follower mode set-point select Var06.15. (Vars
06.13, 06.14 and 06.15 have no effect when codes 4 and/or 5 are assigned to Switch Inputs).

Advance Scroll Function:

Accesses the Advance Scroll feature when the assigned Switch Input is closed, and de-accesses this feature when the
Switch is opened. (See ‘Reference Section \Scrolling’ for details on Advance Scroll).

Retard Scroll Function:

Accesses the Retard Scroll feature when the assigned Switch Input is closed, and de-accesses this feature when the
Switch is opened. (See ‘Reference Section \Scrolling’ for details on Retard Scroll).

Ref. Sect. page - 28 (bA02.XX) (101701)

Switch Inputs \Functions (cont.):
Closed-loop/Open-loop Select Function:
Selects operating mode to run closed-loop or open-loop when the assigned Switch Input is open/closed:
If the assigned Switch Input is: Then the Master/Follower operating mode runs in:
Open Closed-loop
Closed Open-loop (per Var07.12)
Note: See ‘Reference Section \Operational Variables \Open-loop Configuration’ for details on Var07.12.

Master/Follower Mode Select Function:

Selects Follower or Master operating mode when the assigned Switch Input is open/closed:
If the assigned Switch Input is: Then the selected operating mode is:
Open Follower mode
Closed Master mode
Notes:
1) Assigning this function to a Switch Input overrides the Master/Follower Mode Select Var07.13. (Var07.13
then has no effect).
2) When using this function to select Follower mode, you must further configure which Follower mode is
actually desired (Ratio-Follower or Index-Follower). See ‘Reference Section \Encoder-Index Inputs, Power
Supply Outputs \Encoder Variables \Variable 01.06’ for details on Follower Mode Configuration.
3) This Master/Follower Mode Select Function is overridden if Jog mode is selected (by closing a Jog mode
function-assigned Switch Input).

Active Ramp Pair Select Function:

Selects the active ramp pair when the assigned Switch Input is open/closed:
If the assigned Switch Input is: Then the selected Active Ramp Pair is:
Open Accel 0 and Decel 0
Closed Accel 1 and Decel 1
Note: Assigning this function to a Switch Input overrides the Active Ramp Pair Select Var02.05. (Var02.05 then
has no effect).

Fast Stop Function:

Fast Stops the feedback motor/encoder when the assigned Switch Input is closed. The Fast Stop Decel Ramp
Var02.04 determines how quickly to ramp down the Analog Output under this condition.
Note: The Fast Stop function (when enabled) overrides and disables the Run/Stop Switch Input function.
- If the feedback motor/encoder is running or jogging, closing the Fast Stop switch overrides the Run/Stop
switch and ramps the encoder to a stop using the Var02.04 ramp.
- The Run/Stop Switch Input will remain disabled as long as the Fast Stop switch is closed. To re-enable the
Run/Stop Switch Input, open up the Fast Stop switch.

Reverse Function:
Selects the feedback encoder’s reverse (or opposite) direction when the assigned Switch Input is closed. The
feedback encoder then runs in the reverse (or opposite) direction when the Run/Stop switch is closed:
If the assigned Then the Jog or Master mode Then the Follower mode (Ratio or Index)
Switch Input is: direction is: direction is:
Open Forward (Chan A leads Chan B) Same as lead encoder direction
Closed Reverse (Chan A lags Chan B) Opposite of lead encoder direction
Notes:
1) The Reverse function requires using a bidirectional motor/drive. See ‘Reference Section \Analog Output’,
and ‘Reference Section \NPN Outputs \Contactor Reverse Function’ for related information.
2) If the Reverse function is not assigned to a Switch Input, then the direction is always Forward in Jog or
Master modes, and Same as lead encoder direction in the Follower modes.
3) If the Reverse function-assigned Switch Input changes state while the feedback encoder is running, then the
feedback encoder speed ramps through zero to the same speed in the opposite direction.

Ref. Sect. page - 29 (bA02.XX) (101701)

Switch Inputs \Function Assignment Variables:
Function Assignment Variables 07.00 -> 07.06: Each Switch Input has a Function Assignment Variable for
selecting the desired function. These variables correspond to the Switch Inputs as shown in this table:
Switch Input Function Assignment Variable
0 None (Reserved for Run/Stop)
1 Variable 07.00
2 Variable 07.01
3 Variable 07.02
4 Variable 07.03
5 Variable 07.04
6 Variable 07.05
7 Variable 07.06

To assign a certain Switch Input function to a certain Switch Input:

- First find the desired Switch Input function from the table below.
- Then enter the corresponding function code into the Switch Input’s Function Assignment Variable.

To un-assign a Switch Input function from a certain Switch Input:

- Enter code 0 into the Switch Input’s Function Assignment Variable.

The Switch Input Functions and their corresponding Codes are shown in this table:
Switch Input Function Function Code
Run/Stop None (permanently assigned to Switch Input 0)
Unused Switch Input 0
Jog mode 1
Set-point Scroll-down 2
Set-point Scroll-up 3
Active Set-point select 0 or 1 4
Active Set-point select 0 or 2 5
Advance 6
Retard 7
Closed-loop or Open-loop select 8
Follower mode or Master mode select 9
Active Ramp Pair select 0 or 1 10
Fast Stop 11
Reverse 12
Note: Each function code (except code 0) can be assigned to only one Switch Input at a time. If you attempt to
assign a function code that is already assigned to another Switch Input, the front-panel ERR led lights up and
your code is not accepted. To proceed with the change, the desired function code must first be un-assigned
from the other Switch Input.

Note: The statuses of the Switch Inputs 0 through 7 can be displayed on the Display Window.
(See ‘Reference Section \Display \Display Window Variable’ for details).

Ref. Sect. page - 30 (bA02.XX) (101701)

Scrolling (Scroll Vars 07.07 to 07.10, Set-point Scroll, Advance/Retard
Scroll)
Scrolling allows the user to continuously increment or decrement certain quantities in real-time without entering the
Change Variable/Change Set-point Menus. Scrolled quantities take immediate effect: when the MS332 is running
(Run/Stop switch closed, Fast Stop switch open [if assigned]), the Analog Output responds as the quantity changes.

When Scroll is accessed, the display window changes from displaying real-time information (as selected by
Var05.00) to the scrollable quantity’s value. This quantity then begins to periodically increase or decrease by the
appropriate mode-determined scroll step. For the first 2 seconds of scroll the quantity is ‘stepped’ once per 250
msec. After the first 2 seconds the quantity is ‘stepped’ once per 20 msec. The quantity continues to scroll for as
long as Scroll is accessed or until it reaches its limit. When Scroll is de-accessed, the display window reverts back
to real-time information (as selected by Var05.00).

Scroll Variables:
Variable 07.07 – Master Speed Scroll Step – Enter the desired scroll step for scrolling the active Master mode
speed set-point. (Var07.07 values must be entered in the same units as Var01.01).

Variable 07.08 – Ratio-Follower Speed Ratio Scroll Step – Enter the desired scroll step for scrolling the active
Ratio-Follower mode ratio set-point. (Var07.08 values must be entered in the same units as Var01.04).

Variable 07.09 – Phase Scroll Step – Enter the desired scroll step for scrolling either the current phase-offset or the
active Index-Follower mode phase set-point. (Var07.09 values must be entered in units of feedback encoder pulses).

Variable 07.10 – Jog Speed Scroll Step – Enter the desired scroll step for scrolling the Jog mode speed set-point.
(Var07.10 values must be entered in units of RPM).

Set-point Scroll:
Set-point Scroll-up/down changes only the active set-point (i.e. the selected set-point from the current operating
mode): Master mode Speed, Ratio-Follower mode Ratio, Index-Follower mode Phase, or Jog mode Speed.

There are two ways to access Set-point Scroll-up or Scroll-down:

1) From the Keypad; by pressing the UP or DOWN arrow keys (if not security-locked) when at Keypad Level Zero.

2) From a remote switch; by remotely closing a Switch Input that has the Set-point Scroll-up or Set-point Scroll-
down Switch Input function assigned to it.

Advance/Retard Scroll:
Use Advance to speed up - and Retard to slow down - the feedback encoder when running closed-loop without index
phase correction.

There are two ways to access Advance Scroll or Retard Scroll:

1) From the Keypad; by pressing the RIGHT(Advance) or LEFT(Retard) arrow keys (if not security-locked) when
at Keypad Level Zero.

2) From a remote switch; by remotely closing a Switch Input that has the Advance Scroll or Retard Scroll Switch
Input function assigned to it.

When either Advance/Retard Scroll is accessed, the current *phase-offset is displayed (expressed in feedback
pulses) and is then scrolled up or down in Phase Scroll Step (Var07.09) increments. As the phase-offset changes,
the feedback motor speed increases or decreases accordingly, effecting the displayed phase-offset.

Ref. Sect. page - 31 (bA02.XX) (101701)

Scrolling \Advance-Retard Scroll (cont.):
When Advance/Retard Scroll is de-accessed, scrolling terminates and the motor speed returns to the mode-
determined active speed or ratio set-point (as the case may be). At this point, everything is as it would otherwise
have been, except that the feedback encoder has advanced a certain number (= current phase-offset - previous
phase-offset) of feedback pulses more or less than would have been the case if the advance or retard had not
occurred.

Advance/Retard Scroll is enabled for Master, Ratio-Follower, or Index-Follower modes if both of the following
requirements are met (Advance/Retard Scroll is never enabled for Jog mode):
1) The feedback encoder loop is closed (applies to all three modes).
2) The feedback index loop is open (applies to Index-Follower mode only).

The conditions for meeting these requirements are listed in the rows of this table:
Operating Var01.06 Code Any Var07.00->.06 Open-loop switch: Var07.12 Code
Mode (Fol Mod Config) Code 8 (Open-loop)? (Open-loop Config)
Master --- No --- ---
Master --- Yes Open ---

Follower 0: (NoIndex) Yes Open ---
Follower 0: (NoIndex) Yes Closed 0 or 2 (enable encoder loop)

Follower 1: (Index) Yes Closed 2 (enable encoder loop

disable index loop)

*Note: The term “phase-offset” is not to be confused with the term “Phase Set-point”.
- Phase Set-point: In Index-Follower mode (with index loop closed), the absolute position of the feedback
encoder relative to the lead encoder is measured and corrected per the active Phase Set-point each time
the selected pair (lead and feedback) of index pulses is received. In between such index pulse pairs, the
phase from the previous correction is maintained. In Index-Follower mode (with index loop closed)
there is no phase-offset or Advance/Retard Scroll feature: phase changes in this mode are accomplished
by changing the active phase set-point. (Advance/Retard Scroll has no effect on Phase Set-points and is
not enabled in Index-Follower mode unless the feedback index loop is open).
- Phase-offset: In Master and Ratio-Follower modes (i.e., closed-loop modes without index phase
correction), the position of the feedback encoder is dictated solely by its starting position, phase-offset,
Master speed set-point or Follower (ratio set-point)*(lead speed), and time. The phase-offset may be
changed only through the Advance/Retard mechanism. Unlike Phase Set-points, the phase-offset
defaults to zero at power-up and mode changes.

Encoder-Index Inputs \Dip Switches (cont.):
Encoder, Index and Aux input DIP Switches:
Each used input must have its pull-up and pull-down DIP switches configured for the type of device driving it. Each
unused input must also be properly configured. Configure each Encoder, Index and Aux input DIP switch according
to the following table:

Special notes on DIP Switches:

1) The DIP switches should be changed only while the MS332 is powered down.
2) Pull-up/pull-down DIP switch pairs should never be configured both ON while the MS332 is powered-up. If
any pull-up/pull-down switch pair is configured both ON while the MS332 is powered-up, the internal
protective device (reset-able fuse) may trip, disconnecting all pull-up switches from the internal +12Vdc
supply. If this happens, the protective device may be reset by powering-down the MS332 for a few seconds.

Analog Output (Terminal Connections, Calibration Vars [OFFSET,
SCALE], Drive Compatibility)
The standard MS332 provides one Analog Output signal. This is the analog speed reference voltage signal sent to
the motor-drive. The Analog Output voltage swings positive or negative as needed.
Functionally, the Analog Output behaves like a 12-bit plus sign DAC with adjustable offset and scale voltage. The
Analog Output voltage obeys the following relationship:
Analog Output voltage = OFFSET volts + SCALE volts * (DAC code / 4095)
OFFSET volts range: -2.1Vdc to +2.1Vdc,
SCALE volts range: 0 to 11Vdc
DAC code range: -4095 to +4095
Note: The Analog Output voltage is limited to a maximum possible range of –11.0 to +11.0 Vdc.

MS332 Rear-View
See ‘Reference Section \Hardware Illustrations \Rear-View’ for a complete diagram showing the details of terminal
strip TB1 (containing the Analog Output) on the back of the MS332 package.

Calibration Variables:
The OFFSET and SCALE volts are adjusted with the OFFSET and SCALE calibration variables. The MS332 has
no pots: all calibration is done from the keypad.
OFFSET:
The OFFSET variable adjusts the OFFSET volts. This sets the Analog Output voltage component that is
insensitive to the DAC code. The OFFSET volts are the Analog Output volts when DAC code is zero. Offset
adjustment is sometimes called "Zero" adjustment.
SCALE:
The SCALE variable adjusts the SCALE volts. This sets the Analog Output voltage sensitivity to nonzero DAC
codes. Scale adjustment is sometimes called "Span" adjustment.

Drive Compatibility:
Non-Contactor Reversing Drive: This type of drive uses an analog speed reference where voltage controls both
speed and direction (+ Vdc = Fwd; – Vdc = Rev). By default, the MS332 is programmed for this type of drive. In
this case, the MS332 Analog Output has a possible bipolar range from the OFFSET voltage to –11.0 and +11.0 Vdc.
Contactor Reversing Drive: This type of drive uses an analog speed reference where a positive voltage controls
the speed and a contactor input determines direction of rotation. The MS332 may be programmed for this type of
drive by assigning the Contactor Reverse Function to one of the NPN Outputs. The state of the Contactor Reverse
function-assigned NPN Output sets the encoder/motor direction (NPN Output OFF = Fwd; ON = Rev). In this case,
the MS332 Analog Output is restricted to a possible unipolar range from the OFFSET voltage to +11.0 Vdc.

See ‘Ref. Section \Keypad \Keypad Menus \Diagnostic Menu’ for details on the Analog Output Calibration Utility.
See ‘Reference Section \NPN Outputs’ for details on assigning/using the Contactor Reverse NPN Output Function.

Master/Follower Mode Selection from the keypad:

Variable 07.13 - Master/Follower Mode Select - Enter the code to select between Master and Follower operating
modes:
Var07.13 CODE Selected operating mode
0 Follower mode
1 Master mode
Notes:
1) Var07.13 is overridden (has no effect) when the Master/Follower Mode Select Switch Input Function is
assigned to a Switch Input. See ‘Reference Section \Switch Inputs’ for details on this method.
2) Var07.13 is also overridden if a Jog mode function-assigned Switch Input is closed. (Jog mode over-rides
Master or Follower modes). See ‘Reference Section \Switch Inputs \Functions’ for details on the Jog mode
function.
3) When Var07.13 is set to select Follower mode, it is necessary to further configure which of the two Follower
modes is actually desired (Ratio-Follower or Index-Follower). See ‘Reference Section \Encoder-Index

Follower or Index-Follower mode.

Ref. Sect. page - 37 (bA02.XX) (101701)

Operational Variables (cont.):
Phase Change Release Time:
The MS332 accomplishes phase changes by introducing externally-determined phase difference errors into the
closed-loop PID algorithm*. To ensure smooth phase difference error correction, the error is not introduced to the
PID all at once, but is instead time-released (spread out over time). This is accomplished by dividing the error into
(1024)*(Var07.14) pieces and adding the pieces, one-per-loop-update, into the PID’s phase difference error (PID
loop is updated 1024 times per second).

Externally-determined phase difference errors arise by two mechanisms:

1) Index-Follower mode index phase measurement.
2) Master and Ratio-Follower mode Advance/Retard Scroll mechanism.

Variable 07.14 - Phase Change Release Time – Enter the time over which the phase difference error is introduced
into the PID. The allowed range for Var07.14 values is 0.01->100.0 (in seconds).

Note: The Phase Change Release Time is not the same as Var03.01 (Integral Time Constant):
- Var07.14 (Phase Change Release Time) sets the time over which an externally-determined phase difference
error is smoothly introduced into the PID.
- Var03.01 (Integral Time Constant) determines the PID's phase difference error correction rate.

*Note: In this context, phase changes refers to changes apart from the corrections made in the normal course of
maintaining correct speed and phase. Similarly, externally-determined phase difference error refers to
mechanisms of determining error apart from the normal cumulative mechanism based on encoder quadrature
phases. The closed-loop PID performs its normal phase error measurements and corrections 1024 times per
second.

Operational Variables (cont.):
Active Set-point Selection:
The Master, Ratio-Follower, and Index-Follower modes each have four set-points. The Jog mode has only one set-
point. For the Master, Ratio-Follower, and Index-Follower modes, the active set-point is selected by remote switch
or from the keypad.

Active Set-point Selection by remote switch:

See ‘Reference Section \Switch Inputs’ for details on assigning and using the Active Set-point Select Switch Input
Function(s).

Active Set-point Selection from the keypad:

If the Active Set-point Select Switch Input Function(s) are not assigned to any Switch Inputs, then Var06.13 selects
the Master mode speed set-point. Similarly, Var06.14 selects the Ratio-Follower mode ratio set-point, and Var06.15
selects the Index-Follower mode phase set-point.

Set-points and Set-point Units:
The MS332 has four Master mode speed set-points, four Ratio-Follower mode speed ratio set-points, four Index-

Note: All set-points can be set and changed by using either the Change Variable or the Change Set-point Menus.
Also, the active set-point can be changed directly (without entering a menu) by using the Set-point Scroll
feature. (See ‘Reference Section \Scrolling’ for details on the Scroll feature. See ‘Reference Section \Keypad
\Keypad Menus’ for details on the Change Variable and Change Set-point Menus. See ‘Reference Section

Set-point Units: Master mode speed set-points are in units set by Var01.01. Ratio-Follower mode speed ratio set-
points are in units set by Var01.04. Index-Follower mode phase set-points are in units of Feedback Encoder Pulses.
Jog speed set-point is in units of RPM.
Variable 01.01 - Process Max Feedback Encoder RPM in User Units – This variable configures the units in
which speed set-points are entered and sets the max speed set-point value. Set-points may be entered in (your) user
units or entered as RPM user units. In either case, the set-point value may range from 0 to the Var01.01 value:
- To configure for set-points given in non-RPM user units, set Var01.01 to the maximum process output value in
(your) user units. See ‘Set-up Section \Master Mode \Setting up Var01.00, Var01.01 for non-RPM User Units’
for an example.
- To configure for set-points given in RPM user units, set Var01.01 equal to the Process Max Feedback Encoder
RPM (same numerical value as Var01.00).
Note: Var01.01 sets the units for Master mode speed set-points, Master mode speed scroll step, certain NPN Output
alarm thresholds, as well as the decimal point position of the Feedback Encoder Speed In User Units display
option (Var05.00 option code 0).

Operational Variables \Set-points and Set-point Units (cont.):
Variable 01.04 - [Process Max Feedback Encoder RPM / Process Max Lead Encoder RPM] in User Units
This variable configures the user units of the feedback/lead encoder RPM ratio for Ratio-Follower set-points,
feedback/lead encoder velocity ratio display and npn-output velocity ratio threshold parameters.
- To configure for set-points given in user units, set Var01.04 to (Var01.00 / Var01.03) converted to user units. See
‘Set-up Section \Ratio-Follower Mode \Step 10’ for an example that includes setting up Var01.04 for user defined
user units.
- To use "unitless" RPM ratio user units, set Var01.04 equal to (Var01.00 / Var01.03).
Note: Var01.04 also sets the decimal point position of the Follower Ratio In User Units display option (Var05.00
option code 1).

Index-Follower Phase Set-point Units: Index-Follower mode phase set-points set the position/phase relationship
between each effective feedback index pulse and each effective lead index pulse. Index-Follower mode phase set-
points must be entered in units of Feedback (follower) Encoder Pulses.
Note: See ‘Description of Operating Modes Section \Index-Follower Mode’ for a more complete description of
index phase set-points, index phasing and effective index pulses.

Ref. Sect. page - 41 (bA02.XX) (101701)

Operational Variables (cont.):

Acceleration and Deceleration Ramps:

Under certain circumstances, the MS332 uses linear volts-verses-time ramp functions to transition the analog output
to a new voltage. This linear voltage transition produces a corresponding motor speed transition.
It is important to understand what is (and isn't) meant by ramps in this manual. Ramps in the context of this manual
are linear volts-verses-time functions executed by the MS332, apart from the normal closed-loop speed, speed-ratio
and phase control mechanisms.
For example, a follower-mode scenario where the lead encoder speed transitions from one speed to another while
the MS332 follows is not a ramp in the sense of the MS332's ramp mechanisms and variables. Here the MS332
follows the lead, never suspending its normal following mechanism.
Similarly, a scenario invoking a motor-drive's independent speed control / ramping functionality is also not a ramp
in the sense of the MS332's ramp mechanisms and variables because speed control is taken away from the drive's
analog input (and therefore away from the MS332).

Ramp time variables (Var02.00 - Var02.04)

Time values are entered into the ramp variables Var02.00 - Var02.04. These ramp variables work together with
Var01.00 (Process Max Feedback Encoder RPM) to determine the ramp rates (RPMs per second). The acceleration
and deceleration ramp rates are (Var01.00/Var02.0X).

Acceleration Ramp Variables:

Enter the desired time (in seconds) to ramp the feedback encoder RPM from 0 to Var01.00. The value may range
from 0.1 to 3600.0 seconds.
Variable 02.00 - Accel Ramp 0
Variable 02.01 - Accel Ramp 1

Deceleration Ramp Variables:

Enter the desired time (in seconds) to ramp the feedback encoder RPM from Var01.00 to 0. The value may range
from 0.1 to 3600.0 seconds.
Variable 02.02 - Decel Ramp 0
Variable 02.03 - Decel Ramp 1
Variable 02.04 – Fast Stop Decel Ramp - (See ‘Reference Section \Switch Inputs \Functions’ for details on the
Fast Stop Switch Input Function).

Note: The time values entered into Var02.00 - Var02.04 define ramp rates of RPM change per second (slopes).
The time the feedback encoder speed spends ramping depends on the initial (pre-ramp) RPM, the ramp rate
and the final (post-ramp) RPM. Speed changes less than the maximum 0 RPM to Var01.00 ramp-up or
Var01.00 to 0 RPM ramp-down spend less time ramping but still ramp at the same rate as these maximum
speed changes.

Ramp selection
Accel/Decel ramps are selected together. Ramp pairs may be selected by either Var02.05 (Active Ramp Pair Select)
or by a Switch Input.

Enter the code to select the desired active ramp pair.
Var02.05 CODE Selected Active Ramp Pair

to a Switch Input. See ‘Reference Section \Switch Inputs’ for details on this method.

See ‘Reference Section \Switch Inputs’ for details on assigning and using the Active Ramp Pair Select Switch Input
Function.

Causes and Criterion for Ramping

In a given operating mode, certain events enable ramping in the MS332.
When one such enabling event occurs, the MS332 checks the ramp criterion to decide whether or not to ramp. If the
ramp criterion is true, the MS332 ramps to the Target Feedback RPM; otherwise the MS332 achieves the Target
Feedback RPM by normal means.
In most cases, the ramp criterion is whether the Current Feedback RPM to Target Feedback RPM difference is
greater than 10% of the process maximum Feedback RPM.
Current Enabling Event Ramp Criterion
Operating Mode
All Run/Stop Switch Input |Current RPM - Target RPM| > (0.1*Var01.00)
Change (open or close)
All Fast Stop Switch Input |Current RPM - Target RPM| > (0.1*Var01.00)
Change(open or close)
Jog, Master, Setpoint (value or selection) |Current RPM - Target RPM| > (0.1*Var01.00)
Ratio-Follower Change
All Operating Mode Change |Current RPM - Target RPM| > (0.1*Var01.00)

All Fwd/Rev Switch Input Always ramp

Change (open or close) (change direction by ramping through zero RPM)
Note: In Jog mode, acceleration or deceleration ramps are further qualified by Var07.11 (Jog Mode Ramp
Configuration). If Var07.11 disables acceleration ramps, the Analog Output voltage will step up to the new
voltage. Similarly, if Var07.11 disables deceleration ramps, the Analog Output voltage will step down to the
new voltage.

Operational Variables (cont.):

PID Compensation:
Each of the MS332’s closed-loop control modes utilize PID compensation to help achieve and maintain precise,
accurate speed and phase control. The MS332 control-loop reads the encoders, recalculates the PID terms and
writes the Analog Output DAC 1024 times per second. Four user programmable PID variables are provided for
tuning the closed-loop system. When adjusting these variables, it is best to test the dynamic performance (start/stop,
load changes, set-point changes) in addition to the steady-state performance (running at set-point, constant load) of
the system. MS332 PID compensation and the four PID variables are described in the following:

MS332 Proportional Compensation

The MS332 proportional compensation maintains accurate speed control. In Master mode, the proportional
compensation drives the difference between the active speed set-point and the feedback encoder speed to zero. In
the Follower modes, the proportional compensation drives the difference between the *(ratio-scaled)lead encoder
and feedback encoder speeds to zero.
Variable 03.00 – Proportional Gain – Var03.00 controls how hard speed difference errors are driven to zero.
This is done by controlling the amount or "strength" of the proportional compensation. The allowed range is 1-
>1024. Generally speaking, larger values result in tighter, stiffer speed control over the motor's range of loads. If
the Proportional Gain is set too high for the drive/motor/load/encoder subsystem, instability will result (ranging
from small speed oscillations after a set-point or load change to continuous, violent jerking). Generally speaking, a
higher-resolution encoder will require less Proportional Gain than a lower-resolution encoder.

MS332 Integral Compensation

The MS332 Integral Compensation maintains an accurate average feedback encoder phase (or position). This is
particularly important in Follower mode applications such as electronic-gearing and event-synchronizing, where a
particular phase difference from the (ratio-scaled)lead encoder must be maintained. The phase (or position)
difference is the cumulative difference, in feedback encoder quadrature counts, between the (ratio-scaled)lead
encoder and the feedback encoder.
Proportional Compensation achieves and maintains speed accuracy by maintaining a stable (unchanging) phase (or
position) difference between the feedback encoder and the (ratio-scaled)lead encoder under steady-state conditions.
However, a stable phase difference cannot be maintained under dynamic conditions with Proportional Compensation
alone: if the set-point or load changes, a new phase difference will be established to maintain speed accuracy.
Integral Compensation maintains an accurate average phase difference by driving the average difference between
the desired and actual phase difference to zero. So while Proportional Compensation maintains accurate speed at the
expense of creating a certain phase difference to fit the set-point/drive/motor/load/encoder conditions, Integral
Compensation drives the average phase difference to the desired value by driving the average phase difference error
to zero.
Variable 03.01 – Integral Time Constant – Var03.01 controls how quickly any average phase difference errors are
driven to zero. Var03.01is the phase (or position) correction rate time constant. The allowed range is 0.0 to 100.0
seconds. A nonzero value is the time to reduce phase difference error to approximately 37% of its previous value
(exponential response). Phase difference error is reduced to less than 0.25% after six Var03.01 time spans have
passed. Generally speaking, smaller nonzero values result in faster phase correction over the motor's range of loads.
If the Integral Time Constant is set too low (i.e., too fast) for a system's drive/motor/load/encoder combination,
instability will result (ranging from small phase/speed oscillations after a set-point or load change to continuous,
violent jerking). A zero value disables (turns off) Integral Compensation.

Operational Variables \PID Compensation (cont.):
MS332 Derivative Compensation
The MS332 Derivative Compensation together with Integral Compensation, attempts to maintain an accurate
instantaneous feedback encoder phase (or position).
It was previously explained how Integral Compensation drives the average phase difference error to zero. This
means that with Proportional and Integral Compensation only, the Follower phase (or position) difference at any
given instant may not be the exact desired value, but on average the Follower phase difference will be the desired
value. Viewed over time, the phase difference error may be described as a sum of the average value plus an
instantaneous deviation (+ or -) from the average value.
It is this instantaneous error component that Derivative Compensation attempts to drive to zero. If Integral
Compensation is viewed as reducing "slow", cumulative errors, Derivative Compensation may be viewed as
reducing "fast", non-cumulative errors. In many systems, Proportional and Integral Compensation alone are fully
adequate to achieve the desired system performance and in many systems Derivative Compensation produces little
or no noticeable effect due to the response-time limitations of the drive/motor/load/encoder subsystem. For these
reasons Derivative Compensation is used less often than Proportional and Integral Compensation.
Variable 03.02 – Derivative Gain – Var03.02 controls how hard any instantaneous phase difference errors are
driven to zero. This is done by controlling the amount or "strength" of the Derivative Compensation. The allowed
range is 1->100. Generally speaking, larger values result in tighter, stiffer phase control. If the Derivative Gain is
set too high for the drive/motor/load/encoder subsystem, phase control will worsen (resulting in phase oscillations).
Generally, a higher-resolution encoder will require less Derivative Gain than a lower-resolution encoder. A zero
value disables (turns off) Derivative Compensation.
Variable 03.03 – Derivative Sample Period – This is the time between re-calculations of the Follower phase
difference error deviation for Derivative Compensation. The allowed range is 0.001->1.000 seconds. Generally
speaking, setting this variable to smaller values makes the Derivative more effective, but for any system that benefits
from Derivative Compensation there will be a point of diminishing (or even counterproductive) returns, below
which no more (or even less) phase difference accuracy is achieved.
* Note: (ratio-scaled)lead encoder is a lead encoder speed or count value multiplied by a ‘ratio’ factor. This ‘ratio’
factor is determined by the Follower mode used:
In Ratio-Follower mode, ratio = the selected Follower Speed Ratio Set-point.
In Index-Follower mode, ratio = (var01.10 / var01.11) i.e., the Index Match Ratio.

MS332 Zero Lead Speed PID Operation

The MS332 is factory-configured to control follower position (or phase) under all lead speed conditions: from a
dead-stop, up to the maximum lead RPM. When used with a bidirectional motor-drive, a factory-default MS332
will maintain the follower at the correct stopped position even against attempts to manually move it in either
direction (lead encoder stopped).
However, some follower applications have special requirements or restrictions for a stopped-lead situation. Some
systems may require that the follower never correct its position when the lead is stopped. Some may additionally
require that the follower position error be cleared to zero and not measured (accumulated) until the lead starts up
again. Others may not tolerate follower reversing for any reason, under any circumstances. Variable 03.04 is
included for these special cases.
Variable 03.04 – Zero Lead Speed PID Control – (Ratio-Follower and Index-Follower modes only). Enter the
code to select desired zero lead speed PID operation:
Var03.04 Measure Correct Forward only Notes:
CODE Position Error Position Error motion
0 Yes Yes No Factory-default (always correct)
1 Yes No No Correct when lead starts
2 Yes No Yes Same as 1, except forward only
3 No No No Same as 1, except zero out error
4 No No Yes Same as 3, except forward only

NPN Outputs (Terminal Connections, Device Compatibility,
Functions, NPN Output Vars [04.00 to 04.08])
The MS332 has four NPN Transistor Outputs. Each of the four NPN Outputs may have one of seventeen different
NPN Output Functions assigned to them by the user, or they may be left with no functions assigned to them. The
NPN Output Functions are ON/OFF type alarm/indicator functions. An alarm/indicator function is true when the
MS332 turns its assigned NPN Output ON, driving the output voltage down near Ground C. An alarm/indicator
function is false when the MS332 turns its NPN Output OFF. MS332 NPN Output compatibility includes relay
coils, diodes, DC lamps, and logic inputs. (See ‘Device Compatibility’ diagrams below).

Note 1: Active NPN functions are recalculated 51.2 times per second. Therefore, the maximum delay from an
event to an NPN Output change will be less than 19.6 mS.
Note 2: Assigning the Contactor Reverse Function to an NPN Output also changes the Analog Output signal from a
bipolar to a unipolar swing. See ‘Reference Section \Analog Output’ for details on Drive Compatibility.
See ‘Reference Section \Switch Inputs’ for details on assigning/using the Reverse Switch Input Function.
Note 3: Index Sync exists when the Index Phase Error between the appropriate lead and feedback indexes is within
± Threshold feedback encoder pulses. Index Sync ceases to exist when the Index Phase Error falls outside
the Threshold window. As long as the magnitude of the Index Phase Error is less than the Threshold
window the index pulses are said to be in sync, as seen according to this formula:
(| Index Phase Error |) <= (±± Threshold window)
See ‘Reference Section \Display \Display Window Variable \Variable 05.00 \Codes 6 and 7’ for details on
the Index Phase Error and Index Phase.

NPN Outputs \Function Variables:
Function Assignment Variables 04.00 -> 04.03: Each NPN Output has a Function Assignment Variable for
entering the desired function code. The code determines the:
1) Function
2) Operating mode in which the function will be active
3) Input to the function.

Function Parameter Variables 04.04 -> 04.07: Each NPN Output has a Function Parameter Variable for entering
a…. Threshold, Setpoint Deviation or Fraction (for threshold-type functions) or an option code (OpCode) for
selecting function options.
The Variables 04.00 -> 04.07 correspond to the NPN Outputs as shown in this table:
NPN Output Function Assignment Variable Function Parameter Variable
0 Var04.00 Var04.04
1 Var04.01 Var04.05
2 Var04.02 Var04.06

To assign a certain NPN function to a certain NPN Output:
- First find the desired function, active operating mode, and function input from the table below.
- Enter the corresponding function code into the NPN Output’s Function Assignment Variable.
- Enter a desired value (in the indicated units) into the NPN Output’s Function Parameter Variable.
To un-assign an NPN function from a certain NPN Output:
- Enter code 0 into the NPN Output’s Function Assignment Variable.

The NPN Output Functions and their corresponding Codes are shown in this table:

Note: Each function code (except code 0) can be assigned to only one NPN Output at a time. If you attempt to
assign a function code that is already assigned to another NPN Output, the front-panel ERR led lights up and
your code is not accepted. To proceed with the change, the desired function code must first be un-assigned
from the other NPN Output.

Ref. Sect. page - 48 (bA02.XX) (101701)

NPN Outputs \Function Variables (cont.):
Variable 04.08 – NPN Output %Hysteresis:
Threshold-type NPN Output functions have hysteresis to prevent the NPN Output from chattering ON/OFF when
the function input is at the threshold. Hysteresis breaks a threshold into two thresholds for changing function state:
one for the function input going high and one for the function input going low.

Low to High effective threshold = (Threshold) * (1 + [%Hysteresis / 100])

High to Low effective threshold = (Threshold) * (1 - [%Hysteresis / 100])

Hysteresis is entered in units of %, so the allowed range of Var04.08 is 0 -> 100. The %Hysteresis is always applied
to the threshold.

The %Hysteresis applies to all active threshold-type NPN Output functions (all NPN Output functions except for the
Contactor Reverse Function and the Drive Enable Function). See the table in the NPN Outputs \Functions
discussion for a mathematical description of each function with hysteresis.

Note: The statuses of the NPN Outputs 0 through 3 can be displayed on the Display Window.
(See ‘Reference Section \Display \Display Window Variable’ for details).

MS332 Serial Communications provide an alternative to the Front Panel Keypad/Display whereby User Variables
(including Setpoints), real-time Display Values, Switch Inputs, Keypad buttons, and NPN Outputs may be remotely
accessed.
Interface Port:
The Interface Port consists of one balanced EIA-485 tri-state driver, one balanced EIA-485 receiver and their
reference common (Ground B).
The Interface Port is electrically isolated from all other MS332 circuits and terminals. If desired, reference common
(Ground B) may be tied to an external reference potential.
Separate terminals are provided for the driver, receiver and reference common (Ground B).
The driver tri-state outputs (TX+, TX-) are transmitter-controlled, remaining in Hi-Z state when not transmitting.
The interface port is compatable with both "4-wire" (TX+, TX-, RX+, RX- all separate) and "2-wire" (TX+, RX+
connected; TX-, RX- connected) network configurations.
The interface port is multi-slave compatible in both "2-wire" and "4-wire" network configurations.

2) Supported Modbus Function Codes and their use

Function Code Use
01 (Read Coil Status) Read NPN Outputs
02 (Read Input Status) Read Switch Inputs
03 (Read Holding Registers) Read User Variable
04 (Read Input Registers) Read Display Value
05 (Force Single Coil) Write single NPN
06 (Preset Single Register) Write User Variable
15 (Force Multiple Coils) Write multiple NPNs
16 (Preset Multiple Registers) Write User Variable

Note on function codes 05 and 15:

- These function codes allow forcing NPN outputs ON or OFF, regardless of assigned NPN Output Functions.
- Outputs without an assigned NPN Output Function remain in their forced state until forced to the opposite
state.
- Outputs with an assigned NPN Output Function remain in their forced state only until the next function
execution (19.2 mS or less), after which each follows its function.

3) Supported Modbus Exception Responses
Code Name Meaning
01 ILLEGAL FUNCTION Function code received not supported by slave.
02 ILLEGAL DATA ADDRESS Data address received not supported by slave.
03 ILLEGAL DATA VALUE Data value received is not valid.

4) Response Message Delay

A maximum 30mS delay occurs from the end of Query Message reception to the start of Response Message
transmission. This time interval is independent of Baud Rate and is required for Query Message error-checking
and validation, task-processing synchronization, function execution and Response Message construction.
This delay time should be used in determining the Master's Receiver Timeout Period.
It is necessary that the Master's Receiver Timeout Period be set sufficiently long to ensure the Master does not
time-out and re-transmit a Query Message to an MS332 or query any other device before the MS332 has had
sufficient time to transmit the Response Message.

Data Types:
User Variables and Display Values
The Data Type for accessing User Variables and Display Values is selectable.
16-bit signed integer, 16-bit unsigned integer, 32-bit signed integer and 32-bit IEEE floating-point data types are
supported.
Integer types allow writing whole numbers (numbers with no fractional part) only. When real numbers (numbers
with a fractional part) are read using an integer type, only the whole number part is returned (the fractional part is
truncated).
IEEE floating-point allows reading and writing both whole numbers and real numbers.
Although IEEE floating-point is the most versatile data type for MS332 serial communications, it is usually
unecessary because most applications don't require User Variable and Set-Point values with fractional resolution.
Since the Master and Slave data types must match, only those data types supported by both Master and Slave may be
used.
See ‘Addendum - Accessing User Vars and Display Values’ at the end of this section for a complete discussion of
issues related to accessing MS332 data using the various Data Types.

Serial Communications (cont.)
Procedure: Remote Analog Output Calibration.
Notes:
- The MS332 Analog Output must be calibrated to the motor-drive and the process.
- This procedure provides a Serial Communications alternative to the Keypad method given in the 'Reference
Section \Keypad Menus \Diagnostic Menu \Analog Output Calibration Utility'.
- To execute this procedure, the MS332 must first be wired for optional Jog Mode operation.
Jog Mode is an open-loop speed control mode: the actual encoder speed has no effect on the Analog Output DAC,
only the Jog speed set-point determines the DAC value.
When the Analog Output is calibrated open-loop to your process, closed-loop performance is improved because
less compensation is required.

Connect an unused MS332 Switch-Input to Ground C either through a closed switch or a wire.
This Switch-Input will enable Jog Mode selection for calibrating the Analog Output.
Example: Connect TB3 pin 7 (Switch-Input 4) to TB3 pin 8 (Ground C).

Modbus addresses accessed

This procedure requires accessing certain MS332 Display Values and User Variables over Serial Communications.
The Modbus address, type of access (read/write) and description of each is listed below.
Address Access Description
31000 Read Feedback encoder speed (Display option 0)
41000 Read Process max. feedback encoder RPM (Var01.00)
41010 Write Process max. feedback encoder RPM in user units (Var01.01)
46120 Write Jog Mode speed set-point (Var06.12)
470X0 Write Switch-input function-assignment (X: 0...6, depending on input)
49000 Write Analog Output offset calibration (Var09.00)
49010 Write Analog Output scale calibration (Var09.01)

Configure Jog Mode

1) Open the MS332 Run switch.
2) Set the feedback speed user units to RPM by setting Var01.01 (address 41010) equal to Var01.00 (address
41000), your Process Maximum Feedback Encoder RPM.
3) Assign the Jog function to a Switch-Input (as mentioned above) by writing 1 (Jog) to the corresponding Switch-
Input function assignment variable.
Example: To use Switch-Input 4, write 1 to Var07.03 (address 47030).
4) Set the Jog Speed set-point to zero: Write zero (0) into Var06.12 (address 46120).
5) Close the MS332 Run Switch.

Offset adjustment
1) Slowly increase the Aout Offset by incrementing the Var09.00 (address 49000) value until the motor creeps
forward (if not already doing so).
2) Next, slowly decrease the Aout Offset by decrementing the value in Var09.00 (address 49000) by increments of
1 until it stops.
This sets the Analog Output base voltage (0 Dac) just below the voltage at which the motor creeps forward.

Scale adjustment
1) Set the Jog Speed set-point equal to your Process Maximum Feedback Encoder RPM by setting Var06.12
(address 46120) equal to Var01.00 (address 41000). The motor should turn.
2) Monitor Display Value 0 (address 31000). This is the real-time feedback encoder RPM.
3) Slowly adjust the Aout Scale (Var09.01 / address 49010) until the real-time feedback encoder RPM is equal (or
as close as possible) to the Jog Speed set-point.
If the displayed RPM is higher than setpoint, reduce Aout Scale (Var09.01 / address 49010).
If the displayed RPM is lower than setpoint, increase Aout Scale (Var09.01 / address 49010).
This sets the Analog Output's voltage-output / DAC-input sensitivity.

Serial Communications \Remote Analog Output Calibration Procedure (cont.)
Exit Jog Mode
1) Open the MS332 Run Switch
2) Un-assign the Jog Switch-Input function from the Switch-Input by writing 0 to the corresponding Switch-Input
function assignment variable.
Example: If you previously wrote 1 (Jog) to Var07.03 (address 47030) assigning Jog to Switch-Input 4,
write 0 to it now to un-assign Jog from it.

Ref. Sect. page - 57 (bA02.XX) (101701)

Procedure: Remote Encoder PPI Variable Determination and Initialization
(Index-Follower mode)
Notes:
- Index-Follower Mode setup requires determining values for and writing Var01.07 (Feedback PPI: Feedback
Encoder pulses per Feedback Index pulse) and Var01.08 (Lead PPI: Lead Encoder pulses per Lead Index pulse).
- This procedure provides a Serial Communications alternative to the Keypad method given in the 'Reference
Section \Keypad Menus \Diagnostic Menu \Encoder Pulses Per Index Learn Utility'.
- This procedure consists of measuring the average encoder pulses per index pulse values for both Feedback and
Lead and writing these values into Var01.07 and Var01.08 respectively.
- To execute this procedure, the MS332 must first be wired for optional Jog Mode operation.
Connect an unused MS332 Switch-Input to Ground C either through a closed switch or a wire.
This Switch-Input will enable Jog Mode selection.
Example: Connect TB3 pin 7 (Switch-Input 4) to TB3 pin 8 (Ground C).

Modbus addresses accessed

This procedure requires accessing certain MS332 Display Values and User Variables over Serial Communications.
The Modbus address, type of access (read/write) and description of each is listed below.
Address Access Description
31100 Read Average Lead PPI (Display option 10)
31110 Read Average Feedback PPI (Display option 11)
41000 Read Process max. feedback encoder RPM (Var01.00)
41010 Write Process max. feedback encoder RPM in User Units (Var01.01)
41070 Write Feedback PPI (Var01.07)
41080 Write Lead PPI (Var01.08)
41090 Write PPI Measurement and Averaging Control (Var01.09)
46120 Write Jog Mode speed set-point (Var06.12)
470X0 Write Switch-input function-assignment (X: 0...6, depending on input)

Configure Jog Mode, PPI measurement/averaging

1) Open the MS332 Run switch.
2) Set the feedback speed user units to RPM by setting Var01.01 (address 41010) equal to Var01.00 (address
41000), your Process Maximum Feedback Encoder RPM.
3) Assign the Jog function to a Switch-Input (as mentioned above) by writing 1 (Jog) to the corresponding Switch-
Input function assignment variable.
Example: To use Switch-Input 4, write 1 to Var07.03 (address 47030).
4) Set the Jog Speed set-point to zero: Write zero (0) into Var06.12 (address 46120).
5) Write 32 into Var01.09 (address 41090). This causes Display Options 10 (address 31100) and 11 (address
31110) to display real-time averages of the last 32 measured Lead PPI and Feedback PPI values respectively.
6) Close the MS332 Run Switch.

Measure Average Lead PPI, write Var01.08 (address 41080)

1) Rotate the Lead Encoder by starting the Lead process. Leave the Lead process running.
2) View the Average Lead PPI (address 31100). This is the average of the last 32 measured Lead PPI values.
The displayed Average Lead PPI will initially change as more measured Lead PPI values are included in the
running average (if the measured values are not equal to Var01.08).
Wait for at least 33 Lead Index pulses to occur. This ensures the Lead PPI averaging buffer contains only
measured Lead PPI values. At this point, the displayed Lead PPI value should have settled down to a stable
value.
3) Write the displayed Average Lead PPI value (address 31100) into Var01.08 (address 41080).
4) Stop the Lead process.

Ref. Sect. page - 58 (bA02.XX) (101701)

Serial Communications \Remote Encoder PPI Var Procedure (cont.)
Measure Average Feedback PPI, write Var01.07 (address 41070)
1) Write a nonzero Jog Mode speed setpoint value into Var06.12 (address 46120). The value is not important as
long as it is no larger than the Process Maximum Feedback Encoder RPM of Var01.00 (address 41000). The
Feedback Encoder should turn.
2) View the Average Feedback PPI (address 31110). This is the average of the last 32 measured Feedback PPI
values.
The displayed Average Feedback PPI will initially change as more measured Feedback PPI values are included
in the running average (if the measured values are not equal to Var01.07).
Wait for at least 33 Feedback Index pulses to occur. This ensures the Feedback PPI averaging buffer contains
only measured Feedback PPI values. At this point, the displayed Feedback PPI value should have settled down
to a stable value.
3) Write the displayed Average Feedback PPI value (address 31110) into Var01.07 (address 41070).

Un-configure Jog Mode, restore previous PPI measurement/averaging

1) Open the MS332 Run Switch
2) Un-assign the Jog Switch-Input function from the Switch-Input by writing 0 to the corresponding Switch-Input
function assignment variable.
Example: If you previously wrote 1 (Jog) to Var07.03 (address 47030) assigning Jog to Switch-Input 4,
write 0 to it now to un-assign Jog from it.
3) Restore the previous PPI measurement/averaging setting by writing the previous value into Var01.09 (address
41090).

Serial Communications (cont.)

Addendum: Accessing User Vars and Display Values (function codes, data
types and addressing)
MS332 - Modbus Master compatibility
Significant flexibility is built into the MS332 Serial Communications for compatibility with virtually all Modbus
RTU Masters.
One example is the MS332's ability to communicate using various 16-bit and 32-bit data types.
Although the Modbus standard is oriented towards 16-bit "registers" and does not explicitly support any data type,
widely used Modbus adaptations exist for supporting 32-bit types.
The following explains in detail how the MS332 utilizes these adaptations for supporting both 16-bit and 32-bit data
types.

Background
1) Although the MS332 User Variables and Display Values are stored internally using 32-bit floating-point format,
many (in most cases all) of them can be represented in 16-bit integer format because...
a) In most cases these values don't have a fractional part (nonzero value to the right of the decimal point).
b) In most cases, these values fall within the range -32768 -> 32767 (the range of 16-bit integers).
2) To provide both data-type flexibility and compatibility with various Modbus Masters, the data type for
accessing User Vars and Display Values using Serial Communications is selectable. The available data types
are 32-bit float, 32-bit long-int, 16-bit int and 16-bit unsigned int.
3) Modbus data is addressed in 16-bit increments, not by the more common 8-bit (byte) increments. For example,
address 41000 (holding register 1000) and address 41001 (holding register 1001) access separate 16-bit data
with no overlap.
4) The Modbus address of each MS332 User Var (4XXX0) or Display Value (3XXX0) refers to:
a) One 16-bit half for 32-bit data types.
b) The entire value for 16-bit data types.
The next higher address from each User Var (4XXX1) or Display Value (3XXX1) refers to:
c) The other 16-bit half for 32-bit data types.
d) Nothing (Illegal Data Address) for 16-bit data types.
Note: Var08.04 selects the data type (32 bit long int or float, 16-bit int or unsigned int) and the ordering of 16-
bit halves of 32-bit data types.

Accessing User Vars and Display Values

Function codes 03, 04 and 16 (multiple contiguous access):
Since the Modbus addresses for MS332 User Vars and Display Values are non-contiguous (they are separated by
increments of 10, not 1), function codes 03 and 16 cannot access multiple User Vars and function code 04 cannot
access multiple Display Values.
However, function codes 03, 04 and 16 are supported for accessing single User Vars and Display Values when using
32-bit data types:
a) Access 2 adjacent registers together starting at 4XXX0 or 3XXX0 (both 16-bit halves accessed together in one
query-response transaction):
User Vars One 16-bit half at 4XXX0, other 16-bit half at 4XXX1 (1 query-response cycle).
Display Values One 16-bit half at 3XXX0, other 16-bit half at 3XXX1 (1 query-response cycle).

Ref. Sect. page - 60 (bA02.XX) (101701)

Serial Communications \Addendum \Access User Vars and Display Values (cont.)
b) Access 2 adjacent registers separately at 4XXX0 and 4XXX1 or 3XXX0 and 3XXX1 (16-bit halves are
accessed separately, each in a separate query-response transaction):
User Vars First access one 16-bit half at one address (first query-response cycle).
Then access the other 16-bit half at the adjacent address (second query-response cycle).
Display Values First read one 16-bit half at one address (first query-response cycle).
Then read the other 16-bit half at the adjacent address (second query-response cycle).
Notes: Coherency of the two 16-bit halves is ensured if the two 16-bit transactions occur together with no
other transactions to that MS332 between them:
- User Variable writes do not take effect until the second half is written.
- Second 16-bit halves of User Variable or Display Value reads come from the same 32-bit values as
the first.
- The order in which the 16-bit halves are accessed does not matter.
- If the second 16-bit query contains a different function code, address the same 16-bit half or
addresses a different User Var or Display Value than the first, a new access is begun and the
previous access begun by the first 16-bit query is discontinued.

Function codes 03, 04 and 16 are also supported for accessing single User Vars and Display Values using 16-bit data
types as follows:
Access 1 register at 4XXX0 or 3XXX0.
User Vars All 16-bits at 4XXX0 (1 query-response cycle).
Display Values All 16-bits at 3XXX0 (1 query-response cycle).

Function code 06:

Function code 06 (Preset Single Register) is supported for writing User Variables using 32-bit data types as follows:
Two function code 06 write transactions. One each to the addresses 4XXX0 and 4XXX1:
First write one 16-bit half to one address (first query-response cycle).
Then write the other 16-bit half to the other address (second query-response cycle).
Notes: Coherency of the two 16-bit halves is ensured if the two 16-bit transactions occur together with no
other transactions to that MS332 between them:
- 32-bit User Variable writes do not take effect until the second half is written.
- The order in which the 16-bit halves are written does not matter.
- If the second 16-bit query contains a different function code, address the same 16-bit half or
addresses a different User Var than the first, a new access is begun and the previous write begun by
the first 16-bit query is discontinued.

Function code 06 (Preset Single Register) is also supported for writing User Variables using 16-bit data types as
follows:
One function code 06 write to address 4XXX0 (one query-response cycle).

Front-panel ERR led

The front-panel ERR status led is a general alarm alerting the user to errors and potential fault conditions. The
following lists the conditions under which the ERR status led is lit.

Invalid Keypress:
Invalid keypresses are those not supported at a given Keypad menu and level. An invalid keypress results in no
action other than lighting the front-panel ERR led.
See ‘Reference Section \Keypad \Keypad Level Zero and Keypad Menus’ for details on when keys are valid/invalid
for each menu and level.
Example: When in keypad level one of the Change Set-point Menu, pressing the VAR key is invalid and results
in no action other than lighting the ERR led.

Invalid Variable Values:

Each user program variable has a permitted range of values. Any attempt to enter a value outside a user program
variable's permitted range is rejected, resulting in no action other than lighting the front-panel ERR led.
See ‘Appendix Section \User Records \User Program Vars’ for details on ranges of variable values.
Example: Var05.00 (Display Selection) has a range of 0 to 15. If the user attempts to enter 16, the value is
rejected and the ERR led lights up.

Previously assigned Switch Input or NPN Output Function Codes:

Each Switch Input function is exclusive and may be assigned to only one Switch Input at a time. Attempts to assign
a Switch Input function code to a second Switch Input are rejected and result in no action other than lighting the
ERR led.
Each NPN Output function is exclusive and may be assigned to only one NPN Output at a time. Attempts to assign
an NPN Output function code to a second NPN Output are rejected and result in no action other than lighting the
ERR led.
See both ‘Reference Section \Switch Inputs \Function Assignment Variables’ and ‘Reference Section \NPN Outputs
\Function Variables’ for details.

Keypad Security Protection:

Keypad operations may be selectively disabled by Keypad Security. Attempts to change a user program variable or
set-point using a disabled keypad menu or execute a disabled keypad scroll will result in no action other than
lighting the ERR led.
See ‘Reference Section \Keypad \Keypad Menus \Keypad Security Menu’ for details on Keypad Security.
Example: When the front-panel Set-point Scroll is disabled by Keypad Security, pressing the scroll UP/DOWN
keys result in no action other than lighting the ERR led.

Loss of Feedback Encoder Signal (no-feedback condition):

When the feedback encoder signal fails (or stops) while the MS332 attempts to run closed-loop, the ERR led lights
and the display flashes “noFbAC” (no feedback). Restoring the feedback encoder signal, stopping the lead (if
follower mode) or opening the Run switch will clear the “noFbAC” message and turn off the ERR led.

Stopped Lead (Follower mode, Display option 1):

When in follower mode and displaying the follower speed ratio (code 1 in Var05.00), the ERR led lights and the
display flashes "LEAd = 0" when the lead encoder stops (or fails).
