Introduction

Overview

The TI-3000JX provides a simple method for using a standard servo motor amplifier for running various motors not normally compatible with standard servo amplifiers. The basic model offers users the ability to:

1. Run a large variety of motors with serial encoders from encoder manufacturers including Fanuc, SICK Stegmann, Heidenhain, Indramat, Kawasaki, Mitsubishi, Tamagawa, MFE, BiSS, and many more. 

2. Run generic motors using 3 phase 6 step Hall effect or encoder generated commutation pulses of either 120 degree or 60 degree type under the Generic Pulse selection.

3. Run motors with incremental encoder feedback under the Generic Enc selection.

4. Run resolver based motors under the Generic Resolver selection.

5. Run brush type DC motors under the Generic Brush PM selection.

How to use this Manual

Section 2, of this manual describes the TI-3000JX Operation.

Always make certain that the software revision noted on the front of this manual agrees with the revision shown on the sign-on message when the unit is powered up.

Setup and Software Installation

The TI-3000JX system is self-contained complete with LCD display and keypad. The software is in FLASHRAM inside the unit, so no software installation is necessary except for upgrades. 

Hardware Connections


The TI-3000JX unit is powered by a wall mount power supply that is supplied with the system.

1. Plug the power supply cable into the TI-3000JX power jack, J3, and plug the power supply into a 110 VAC outlet.

2. Select the cable harness for the encoder to be tested. Plug the 14 pin terminal block into J1 of the TI-3000. If the cable also utilizes a 12 pin terminal block, plug it into J2. Connect the encoder into the mating connector on the other end of the harness. In the case of a resolver feedback, connect the resolver to the 7 pin terminal block that plugs into J12.

3. Connect the commutation harness to J10 on the TI-3000. Connect the other end to the commutation inputs on the servo amplifier. If you are using a supported amplifier, use the cable for that amplifier. If not, consult the pinout information for fabricating your own harness.

    

AMC B25A20AC / B30A40AC / B40A40AC / B60A40AC / B100A400AC SETUP

Pre-made cables for connecting the TI-3000JX to the amplifier (TI-3004A/B/C) and the potentiometer to the amplifier (TI-3006A/B/C) are provided for the various Advanced Motion Controls amplifiers that are supported by the TI-3000JX. These connections are shown below:

Pre-made cables for connecting the TI-3000 to the amplifier (TI-3004A/B/C) and the potentiometer to the amplifier (TI-3006A/B/C) are provided for the Advanced Motion Controls B25A20AC (A at end of number) or the Advanced Motion Controls B40A40AC (B at end of number).

The B25A20AC, B40A40AC and B100A40AC provide dipswitch settings for various amplifier configurations using a single 10 position dipswitch. It is recommended that you start with the following settings. You may determine other settings that are better for your particular situation, but these settings should get you started.

The B30A40AC and B60A40AC provide dipswitch settings for various amplifier configurations using two 6position dipswitches. It is recommended that you start with the following settings. You may determine other settings that are better for your particular situation, but these settings should get you started.

Connect the armature phases on the motor under test as follows:

Using Other Servo Amplifiers

Other servo amplifiers may be used with the TI-3000JX. It is necessary to read the technical information pertaining to the amplifier to determine how the armature phase outputs and the Hall effect inputs relate to each other. Due to differences in terminology, this is not always obvious. However, once it is determined which phases will be called U, V, and W, and which halls will relate to these line to line voltages as Huv, Hvw,and Hwv, the proper connections between the TI-3000JX and the amplifier can be made, and it should work fine.

The Huv, Hvw and Hwv amplifier inputs should connect to pins 1 through 3 of J10 (see the previous section for pin numbers). The Hall effect power supply common should connect to J10 pin 7. If the amplifier has a 5volt level Inhibit* line (disables the amplifier in the LO state) and it shares the same ground as the Hall effect inputs, then connect it to J10 pin 4. If the amplifier has a 5 volt level Enable* line (disables the amplifier in the HI state) and it shares the same ground as the Hall effect inputs, then connect it to J10 pin 5.

Other considerations in determining the applicability of a particular amplifier would be:

1. Encoder feedback should not be required for the amplifier to operate properly.

2. The amplifier should be able to operate in a velocity mode (ideally open loop).

3. Amplifier control signals should be isolated from the amplifier power and motor armature power (see below).

Important

Check the manual for the amplifier to verify that the Hall and Inhibit/Enable commons can be referenced to ground potential. If the amplifier commons operate at a potential above ground, serious damage to the amplifier and/or TI-3000JX may result!

Software Installation

The TI-3000JX software is in FLASH RAM inside the unit. There is no software installation required for a new unit.
