OverviewThe 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 u...

Overview The TI-5000JX is a complete solution for testing, debugging, and aligning feedback devices typically found on modern brushless permanent magnet servo motors. It offers users the ability to...

BACKGROUND The Drive Test utility will help determine whether an AMC drive has a faulty phase or some other problem by analyzing the behavior of the RED/GRN LED on the drive. This utility is includ...

The main difference in servicing permanent magnet brushless (PMBL) motors versus other kinds of motors comes down to correctly aligning the position of the feedback devices relative to the rotor ma...

The few setup requirements for the TI-3000JX can be taken care of in the TI-3000JX utility menu. This menu is accessed by pressing the MENU key. The menu may be exited at any time by pressing the M...

This device has various modes of operation. The Main Menu is used to select the desired mode. When connecting an encoder to the TI-5000JX, go to the Main Menu and switch off the power (using the sl...

The steps in running a supported motor are simple and quick. The following sections describe in detail the steps involved. Drive ConsiderationsThe AMC drives will last a long time if care is take w...

Serial Encoder General Information Serial encoders are encoders which provide the position count and/or other information (such as error detection bits, overheat bits, etc.) as a serial data stream...

Generic brush type permanent magnet motors can be run using the TI-3000JX system. There is no setup entry required to run them. Since they are brush motors, there is no feedback type to be selected...

Overview Quadrature pulse encoders generate an A and B pulse which are 90 degrees out of phase with each other. These encoders are usually used with external counting circuitry which counts either ...
