8 Safety instructions The motor cable terminals of the drive are at a dangerously high voltage when mains power is applied, regardless of motor operation. There can be dangerous voltages inside the drive from external control circuits even when the drive mains power is shut off. Exercise appropriate care when working on the unit.
Intended audience The manual is intended for the people who are responsible for commissioning and using the FEN-21. The reader is expected to have a basic knowledge of electrical fundamentals, electrical wiring practices and how to operate the drive. Before you start It is assumed that the drive is installed and the drive power supply is switched off before starting the installation of the extension module.
Hardware description 11 Hardware description Contents of this chapter This chapter contains a short description of the FEN-21 Resolver Interface and a delivery checklist.
12 Hardware description The FEN-21 Resolver Interface The FEN-21 offers an interface for a resolver with PTC/KTY support and TTL encoder connection and a TTL encoder emulation output. It also supports two digital inputs for position latching. 2 digital latch inputs (X54)
Hardware description 13 FEN-21 connections ■ The following figure shows an overview of the connections of the FEN-21. ACSXXX ACSXXX FEN-21 Sensor (optional) Encoder...
Resolvers ■ The FEN-21 is compatible with resolvers, which are excited by sinusoidal voltage (to the rotor winding), and which generate sine and cosine signals proportional to the rotor angle (to stator windings). Amplitude and frequency of the excitation signal can be adjusted in range 4...12 V...
Installation 15 Installation Contents of this chapter This chapter contains instructions on installing the Resolver Interface module. WARNING! Follow the safety instructions given in this guide and in the drive hardware manual.
16 Installation Setting the supply voltage WARNING! Selecting the wrong supply voltage may damage or break the encoder. A selectable supply voltage is provided for the TTL encoders input. A +5.5 V or a +24 V voltage for a TTL encoder can be selected by a jumper as described by the following figure.
Installation 17 Mounting WARNING! Before installation, do the electrical safety precautions given in section Safety instructions. Note: Before mounting the option module, set the supply voltage jumpers as described above. The option module is to be inserted into the option slot of the drive. See the drive hardware manual for more information.

Installation 21 General encoder wiring guidelines The encoders should be connected to the encoder interface module with a shielded instrumentation cable, preferably with twisted pairs. See the encoder manual for additional requirements. To prevent the encoder inputs from being disturbed, the cable shield must be connected to the chassis.
22 Installation TTL Encoder input (X51) ■ The cable should have minimum 4 cable pairs. A fifth cable pair shared between Vcc an 0V pins allows for a longer cable. VCC_ENC_1 COM_C VCC_ENC_1 OPTIONAL COM_C Cable pair Connecting plug pin number Signals name Notes number...
Installation 23 Resolver input (X52) ■ The cable should have 4 twisted pairs. Additional 0V and GND pins are reserved for connecting cable shields. The shields should be connected either to 0V or to GND (chassis). Connection of the shields to GND (chassis) can also be made through the D-connector hood cable clamping.

24 Installation WARNING! You can connect a motor temperature sensor to the encoder module only if there is double or reinforced insulation between the live parts of the motor and the sensor. The module does not provide a safe isolation from the drive. Refer to the drive manuals for more information.
The encoder output channel that leads when the drive runs Forward should be connected to FEN-21 input A, the output channel that trails to FEN-21 input B. The zero reference output channel (usually marked 0, N or Z) needs to be connected...
28 Installation Excitation signal ■ The FEN-21 feeds the resolver differentially with an excitation signal. The amplitude and the frequency are adjustable by software in the following boundaries Excitation Signal Amplitude Frequency Current, max. 4...12 V 1...20 kHz 100 mA The following figure shows the SIN and COS outputs and the excitation signal.
This chapter contains instructions on starting up the Encoder Interface module. Programming The FEN-21 is programmed through drive parameters. These parameters must be checked and adjusted according to the encoder data sheet. For further information, see the drive Firmware Manual.
Diagnostic LEDs The FEN-21 is equipped with two diagnostic LEDs. The STATUS LED describes the status of the FEN-21 and the ENC ST LED the status of the encoders. Description of the LED signals is presented below. Colour Description...
