This article will help you identify the type of Yaskawa serial encoder equipped on your motor. If you already know and are looking for testing information, please reference this article instead: ht...

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...

The B&R 8LS series motors are starting to come equipped with a new hybrid power/feedback connector. These motor models can be identified by these feedback types in their model code: S0, S1, S2, S3,...

GENERAL DESCRIPTION Perform these simple steps to determine if your JX tester's resolver hardware is working correctly. You will need the TI-3015 and TI-3016 resolver test plugs to complete this se...

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...

German serial encoders like SICK Stegmann, Heidenhain, and Hengstler can output incremental sine wave pulses in addition to the serial data. It is important to check the signal quality of these inc...

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 analog signals are 1Vp-p sine waves that will ...

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 EMMS motors have become more popular in recent years. They typically come with Heidenhain EnDat 2.1/2.2 serial encoders without any incremental lines. Do to the lack of incremental lines, we ...

The Rexroth KSM series of motors come with drive components built onto the top of the motor, as shown below. We currently do not offer support testing through the drive directly, however, the drive...
