We have several documented cases showing the SEW motors with resolvers use this standard alignment: +U-V=60E+U-W=120E-V+W=0EHere are some motor datasheet references: SEW CMP63M/BK/KY/RH1M/SB1 with ...

We're happy to announce the release of our newest PC software, Athena. We've spent the past couple years transitioning our old WinTI5000JX software into this new environment that will allow for mo...

IDENTIFICATION AND CABLING It is important to know exactly which model of encoder you are testing. Using the incorrect serial Yaskawa test selection will often provide poor results. The current Ath...

Yaskawa serial encoders come in several bit types and can be "Incremental" (INC), meaning singleturn with no battery backup, or "Absolute" (ABS), meaning multiturn with battery backup. Unfortunatel...

REQUIRED HARDWARE TI-5924 resolver test cable, TI-5040 (rev C) digital board test cable, and TI-5104 8VDC adapter module.   BACKGROUND While many motor brands have a standard alignment, there is no...

There are several types of encoders used on the Indramat MDD/MHD series motors. Please see the section for the encoder type you are working on.  The removal procedure is very much the same across a...

Many German serial encoders (mainly SICK Stegmann Hiperface and Heidenhain EnDat) use incremental sine wave signals in addition to the serial data lines. It is important to check that these signals...

SICK Stegmann Hiperface encoders produce a serial count for positioning that can be read in the serial Position Count section of the Data Display. The A and B channels are 1Vp-p cosine and sine wav...

Kollmorgen's SFD feedback is basically a resolver which is fed into a PCB (see below) which converts the signals into a proprietary absolute serial data stream. We do not have support for the 4-wir...

Festo motors have become more popular in recent years. They typically come with Heidenhain ECI1118 or EQI1130 serial EnDat 2.2 encoders without any incremental lines. Do to the lack of incremental ...
