Wiring Use twisted pair shield cables (0.2 mm or larger) to connect the FR-A8AP and position detector. For the wiring to the terminals PG and SD, use several cables in parallel or use a thick cable, according to the wiring length.
Page 18
When differential driver is set and a wiring length is 30 m or more The wiring length can be extended to 100 m by slightly increasing the 5 V power supply (approx. 5.5 V) and using six or more cables with gauge size of 0.2 mm in parallel or a cable with gauge size of 1.25 mm or more.
Page 19
Wire the shielded twisted pair cable after stripping its sheath to make its cables loose. Also, protect the shielded cable of the shielded twisted pair cable to ensure that it will not make contact with the conductive area. Shield (perform protective treatment) Sheath Shielded twisted pair cable Strip the signal wires as follows.

Parameter settings for the motor under Vector control Using the control terminal option FR-A8TP together with the FR-A8AP enables Vector control or machine end orientation control by switching between two encoder-equipped motors. Use Pr.862 to set the combination of the motors (first/second) and the options (FR-A8TP/FR-A8AP).

For the fan of the 7.5 kW or less dedicated motor, the power supply is single phase (200 V/50 Hz, 200 to 230 V/ 60 Hz). The pin number differs according to the encoder used. Use Pr. 178 to Pr. 189 (input terminal function selection) to assign the function to any of terminal. Refer to the Instruction Manual (Detailed) for details of Pr.

Specifications Item Description ±1.5° Repeated positioning Depends on the load torque, moment of inertia of the load or orientaion, creep speed, position loop switching accuracy position, etc. Encoder-mounted shaft speed (6000 r/min with 1024-pulse encoder). Permissible speed The drive shaft and encoder-mounted shaft must be coupled directly or via a belt without any slip. Gear changing shafts cannot be applied.
ENCODER FEEDBACK CONTROL Mount FR-A8AP to an FR-A800 series inverter to perform encoder feedback control under V/F control or Advanced magnetic flux vector control. This controls the inverter output frequency so that the motor speed is constant to the load variation by detecting the motor speed with the speed detector (encoder) to feed back to the inverter.
The pin number differs according to the encoder used. Connect the encoder so that there is no looseness between the motor and motor shaft. Speed ratio should be 1:1.
