1. Introduction

The BY 150 synchronisers have been designed to tackle the high performance synchronisation
and registration applications between two independant drives, were the speed and accuracy
characteristics of other synchronisers are exceeded. The units are suitable for any kind of
drives (AC, DC, Servo etc.), that are variable in speed under control of a 0-10 volts speed
reference. The 300 kHz counting frequency allows use of high-resolution encoders even with
high operation speeds. Due to the extremely short response time of 100 µsec only, the unit also
provides a proper synchronisation under highly dynamic conditions with servo drives.

As a matter of course, full ratio control and other functions like index pulse tracking, print mark
registration, remote phase control and reversal facilities are included in the wide set of standard
functions.
All settings are fully digital and no potentiometer adjustments are necessary. Programming of
parameters is accomplished by a small keypad with LCD display, or by PC/Laptop, using our
operator software OS 3.0 (included on disc). The most important parameters are also
accessible via parallel interface and can easily be changed "on the fly", with use of a remote
thumbwheel switch or a PLC control. All variables are accessible by serial RS232/RS485
communication. CAN interface is available as an option, providing full communication facilities
in a CANopen network.

For special applications like control of Rotating Cutters, Flying shears or Positioning Systems,
the same hardware can operate with software versions specially designed for these
applications. Information is available on request.

The mechanical construction uses a closed 19" aluminium cassette with all connections on it`s
front. Rack mounting of the cassette therefore does not require use of a swivel frame.
Use of our SM 150 back plane (option) also allows easy DIN rail mounting.

The BY 150 operates from an unstabilised 24 VDC supply (18 V... 30V) via front power
connector ( included with delivery ) and is fully in line with other series 150 models, thus
accomplishing the range of various useful modules for solutions with drive applications.

2. Principle of operation

All operation is based on setting an "analogue synchronisation" between the drives first. This
can be achieved by feeding a common speed reference voltage to the drives and tuning the
drive speeds in order to get them into an approximate synchronism. A ratio adaptation may be
necessary for the Slave drive, as shown in figure 1. This analogue pre-synchronisation can
match the two speeds within an error range of a few percent.

The digital synchronsation now has to compensate for the analogue speed errors in order to get
an absolute, angular and positional synchronisation with no drift and no cummulative
displacement of the motor shafts. This needs a digital feedback of the angular shaft position of
the drives. In general, incremental shaft encoders or equivalent signals. ( i. e. encoder
simulation from a resolver system) are used.

The synchroniser continuously checks the two shaft positions and immediately responds by an
analogue correction signal when an angular error starts to appear. This analogue correction,
added to the slave`s reference with the correct polarity, will keep the shaft positions of Master
and Slave in line. As the synchroniser responds within only microseconds to each individual
encoder pulse, the slave will practically have no chance to drift away.

Fig. 3 shows that a feed forward signal ”Vin” is needed to run the drives, and a correction
voltage is added to receive the total slave speed reference ”Vout”. It is easy to understand that
the feed forward signal must be proportional to the master speed. There are two ways to
generate Vin:

a) Use of the master speed reference voltage, like shown in Fig. 3. This presumes the master
drive does not use any remarkable internal ramps, because otherwise Vin would not
represent the real master speed upon acceleration or deceleration. As a result, procedure a)
must only be used when the master speed reference already includes the ramp (generated
by a PLC output etc.) and the drive’s internal ramp is set to zero or it’s minimum value.
However, a real speed analogue signal from a tacho generator can be used at any time.
Analogue feed forward should only be used when replacing older existing BY150
units against a new one.

4
 b) Use of the ultra high speed frequency- to- voltage converter installed in the BY150 units.
This procedure can be used for most of all applications.

The feed forward signal now is generated internally from the frequency of the master
encoder and no external voltage must be applied to the analogue input. This allows the
master drive to use internal ramps, because the encoder frequency always represents the
real actual speed of the master.
Also, procedure b) allows the ”Master” to be just a measuring wheel with encoder, instead of
really a drive.

3. Impulse Scaling

For easy adaption of the synchroniser to operational and physical conditions (gear ratios,
encoder resolution, roll diameters etc.), both, Master and Slave impulses can be scaled
separately. The scaling factor "Factor 1" provides impulse scaling for the Master channel and
the scaling factor "Factor 2" does the same for the slave.
Both factors are 5 decade and operate in a range from 0.0001 to 9.9999. Setting them both to
1.0000 will result in a 1:1 speed and phase synchronisation. The factors can be set remotely via
parallel interface, using a simple BCD thumbwheel switch or a PLC parallel output. Of course,
remote setting is also possible from a PC with RS232/RS485 communication or with a
CANopen network.
Independent of the way of factor setting, the slave always changes it`s shaft position with
respect to the master according to the following formula:

Factor 1
s Slave = s Master
Factor 2
( Proportional operation )

1 1
s Slave = s Master
Factor 1 Factor 2
( Reciprocal operation )

Proportional or reciprocal operation can be selected by the parameter "LV-Calc " in the
Setup menu.

Remarks to previous formulae:

When positional and angular synchronisation is required, we recommend to set S master and
S slave to a number of encoder pulses received from the encoders when both drives move a
defined synchronous distance or one defined machine cycle forward. When only speed
synchronisation is needed (i.e. speed errors in a range of 10-5 can be accepted), S master
and S slave can also be set to the encoder frequencies at synchronous speed.

For a normal, proportional operation, under consideration of all geometrical machine data, one
would try to fix up the value of Factor 2 in a way to have Factor 1 directly in "User units".
(Factor1 is the parameter that could be changed during production, and Factor2 is a "machine
constant" that normally will never be changed).

The following example should explain the calculations for Factor 1 and Factor 2 with a feed roll
system, where the tension of the material should be varied remotely by adapting the slave
speed:

d=300 d=100

tension
control
i=5 i=2

Slave
Master

1024 Imp/rev. 500 Imp/rev.

Fig. 5

With one full revolution of the master roll, we receive 5 x 1024 = 5120 impulses from the master
encoder. If the material must pass the roll without any tension, the slave roll would exactly
need 3 revolutions at the same time. So we will get 3 x 2 x 500 = 3000 impulses from the slave
encoder. This means, we need 3000 slave pulses for every 5120 master pulses to operate
synchronously.

We subsequently have to set up Factor 1 and Factor 2 so, that the relation

5120 x Factor 1 = 3000 X Factor 2

becomes true. The simplest way to do this , is to set the factors exactly to the digital value of the
impulse numbers from the opposite side, i. e. Factor 1 = 0.3000 and Factor 2 = 0.5120. Then,
the synchronous condition will absolutely match the formula, but there could be little
comprehension from the operator, that he needs to set a value of 0.3000 on his terminal to have
tension-free synchronism. He would understand more clearly, if the setting was 1.0000.

So, we need to use the formula with different figures:

5120 x 1,0000 = 3000 X Factor 2

6
 As a result we find that Factor 2 must be 5120 : 3000 = 1.7067. This setting calibrates the
Factor 1 to comprehensible "user units" ( 1.0000 = no tension, 1.0375 = 3,75% tension ). The
same result can be achieved when using the parameter "F1-Scaling Factor" to scale the values
transmitted from the operator terminal.

Hint 1: It is best, whenever possible, to have Factor 1 and Factor 2 in a numeric range of
0.1000 - 2.0000. This allows the BY to use the full 12 Bit resolution of all D/A converters. When,
for example, the factor calculation results in figures like 4.5000 and 7.8000, it is better to set
0.4500 and 0.7800 ( or 0.9000 and 1.5600 or any other proportional values within the
recommended range) to ensure best operation.

Hint 2: Whenever a positional synchronisation is needed, cummulative errors must be

avoided by proper factor setting (factors can only be set with 4 digits to the right of decimal
point).
If, i.e., a ratio of 16 : 17 would be required, never use the decimal expression of
0.94117647....as Factor 1, because the non-entered digits will accummulate to give positional
errors after a short time. This can be completely avoided when using factors like 1.6000 and
1.7000 (or also 0.8000 : 0.8500 etc.).
This hint need not be observed with speed synchronisation alone, because speed errors will
remain undetectably small.

Hint 3: It is best to choose the ppr number of the encoders to receive frequencies in approx. the
same range on both sides. It can i.e. become difficult to synchronise 100 Hz on one side with
80kHz on the other side.

4. Ratio Change during Operation

The speed ratio can be changed at any time by changing Fact1. Changing Fact1 from 1.0000 to
2.0000 will result in double slave speed.
The speed transition can be sudden or soft. The slave approaches it`s new speed via an
adjustable S-shape ramp. See parameter "Ramp 1" on page 23 of this manual.

With some applications, the numerical value of the speed ratio is unknown and the operator
has to find it out by his own observation and feeling. For these applications, the BY 150
provides a "Factor-Tuning" function. Starting from the programmed basic value, Fact1 can be
incremented or decremented via external pushbuttons "+" and "-". While keeping the button
down, Fact 1 will increase or decrease with an adjustable tuning speed. When releasing the
button, the actual ratio will be active to keep the drive speeds with digital accuracy.

To avoid wrong operator settings, the remotely accessible range of Fact1 can be limited
by the parameters Fact1-min and Fact1-max.

5. Change of Phase and Relative Position

The relative phase situation between Master and Slave is normally set by the state upon power-
up or with the last Reset signal (in index modes, the index edges and the programmed phase
displacement define the relative position, see chapter 6.)

During all the operation, this inital phase condition is held without any errors, unless the
operator uses one of three available phase adjustment facilities:

5.1. Phase Adjustment by Timer Trimming

This function, activated by the "Trim +" and "Trim -" inputs, provides a temporary higher or lower
slave speed which will result in a phase displacement between the motor shafts. When
releasing the trim buttons, the drives will synchronise again in their new relative position.

7
 The differential trim speed is adjustable and operates as a speed addition or a subtraction to
the slave, without consideration of the actual absolute speed. This is why the trim function
can also be used at standstill, to move the slave into a convenient start-up position.
As an example, the trim function is ideal for a multi colour print machine, to adjust the register
marks.

5.2. Phase Adjustment by External Impulse Stepping

In this operation mode, the trim inputs operate as edge triggered impulse inputs and each
positive transition will displace the slave shaft position exactly by one encoder impulse (Trim+ =
forward, Trim- = reverse). This function allows, for example, a PLC control to step the phase to
different, fully repeatable positions during operation or standstill, in accordance with different
product dimensions on a machine. Also is it possible to operate the BY 150 like a differential
gearbox, because the slave can move according to the sum or difference of two other drive
speeds.

5.3. Phase Adjustment by Digital Phase Offset

The unit provides an Offset register which can be set to a desired number of encoder impulses.
Every rising edge at the ”Index Master” input will displace the actual phase forward by the
number of offset impulses, and every rising edge at the ”Index Slave” input will do the same to
the other direction. By this function, the phase situation can be stepped forward or reverse by
the pitch set to the offset register.

6. Index Registration and Control

Index or marker pulses are used to automatically set the drives or the material into a correct
relative position. It is possible to either use the zero pulse inputs on the encoder terminals
( Z and Z , 5V TTL) or the index inputs on the PI/PO- connector (10...30V), and register
”Index Mode” selects which inputs are in use.
It is possible to enter the phase displacement between the marker pulses by BCD parallel input
or by PC or host computer, and to change it at any time, at standstill or on the fly ( Register
"Phase offset" ).

Fig.
6

The parameter Factor 1 is used to adapt different impulse numbers K and N on both encoders.
The number of slave impulses N must be set to register ”Impulse Index”.
The formula Fig. 6 shows how to calculate Factor 1. The offset needs to be set directly as
"number of slave impulses" and has a setting range from -N to +N which means -360° to +360°
of displacement.

Between two marker signals, the drives operate in a normal digital synchronism. The master
impulses are scaled with Factor 1, but the slave impulses count with a fixed factor of 1,0000 in
Index mode.

A positive edge on the slave index input starts a phase comparison with the previous master
index and a correction, if not coincident to the offset M. Additional phase adjustment, as
described under sections 5.1 and 5.2, is also possible in index mode, i. e., starting from an inital

8
 phase position, the final phase can be easily tuned, by pushbuttons or PLC, if applicable. The
new phase can be restored to the phase offset register by a store command..
As a special, the BY 150 can even operate with different numbers of marker pulses on both
sides. This is possible due to the following features:

a. The master index input is equipped with a programmable index divider , which, for
example, allows sampling of only each 5th marker pulse.

b. The slave index input is locked in a way, that it is active only once after each valid master
marker pulse.

This enables the user, in terms of one machine cycle, to have for example 5 master markers
and 3 slave markers. Upon start up, the BY 150 checks for the nearest marker couple and sets
them in line. Subsequently, each 5th master index will be checked with each 3rd slave index.

Operation mode 8 provides a fully unlocked function of the index inputs and every couple of
marker impulses will cause a correction, no matter if the master leads the slave index or vice-
versa.
This mode needs setting of a ”maximum index error” to the ”Impulse Index” register ( setting in
slave encoder increments ). The differential speed to correct for the index error can be set by
register ”Trimm speed”.
Mode 8 is perfectly suitable for compensation of wheel slip with large cranes ( reference marks
on the rails, see special description ”Version B25” ) and to equalise different distance between
products when passing from one conveyor to another.

For reasons of proper screening, it is a must to follow the subsequent instructions.

Where you don’t exactly observe these grounding and screening rules, it is
almost for sure that you will have problems later!

a. The minus wire of the power supply must be connected to the grounding screw on the front
plate of the BY150 controller with a short wire of at least 0.75 mm².

On site of the power supply, the minus output must be earthed.

Where the wires between power unit and BY150 controllers are longer than e.g. 1 meter, it is
advisable to ground the front plate of the controller again by a separate wire, on the shortest
way possible.

b. All screens on the controller side must be connected to the housing of the corresponding
Sub-D-connector. This is valid for encoder cables, analogue output and PI or PO lines.
Where you use Sub-D-connectors with a plastic housing, you must solder the screen to the
metallic frame of the connector. At any time you must be sure the screen gets a proper
contact to the front facia of the unit when connected to the controller.

types of encoder connections:

front plate of the unit!

All cables connected to the BY150 should be separated from motor cables and other
powers lines. It is indispensable to use screened motor cables.

7.1 Encoders

The unit only accepts TTL impulse signals ( 5V, RS 422 ) or similar from an encoder simulation
(resolver). It is essential to connect the channels A, A, B, B . The Z and Z marker inputs must
only be connected when you use one of the index operation modes.

Where you find you are working with existing 10 - 30 Volt encoder signals which feature only
A / B / Z signals, the PU 202 converter should be used to gain full complementary signals in line
with RS 422 standards.

An auxiliary voltage of 5,0 V ( max. 400 mA ) is available on the connector plugs “Master“ and
“Slave“, for easy supply of the encoders. This voltage uses the same GND as the power
supply, the digital inputs and the analogue output. Both encoder connectors on the unit are Sub
- D - 9 pin, male.

Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 show the encoder connections and the principle of the input circuit. All impulse
inputs are driven by high speed optocouplers.

When connecting the encoders it is not important to wire the A and B signals to produce the
correct counting direction. The direction can be determined in the setup menu.

Important

• With encoders, supplied by the BY 150:

Connector pins 4 and 5 provide the encoder supply.

• With encoders, supplied by an external source, or when an encoder simulation

from the drive is used (Common GND operation)
Use connector pin 5 as common zero Volt potential.

• For fully potential-free operation:

Connect only A, A and B, B and leave terminal 5 ( Common ) unconnected.

For reason of best noise immunity, we recommend to use potential- free operation
wherever you have line driver signals with remote supply.

Warnings:

• Pin 4 of the Master and Slave encoder connectors is a supply output and you must
never apply external voltage to this pin. Serious damage of the controller would be
the result!

• Where you use one common encoder for feedback of the drive and feedback for the
BY150 at the same time, there may come up interference problems. You can use a GV150
impulse splitter to eliminate any kind of problems. In most applications, the common
encoder would also work fine when it is supplied by the drive and the BY150 operates in
fully differential mode like shown.

 DIL switches S1 / 5 - 8 provide the selection of the encoder edge counting. It is possible
with complementary signals to count with times 1, 2, or 4 without any fear of miscounting.
The selection always applies separately to the master and the slave input signals.

Please note, that

• the maximum frequency of the BY 150 refers to the total number of edges counted, i.e.
300 kHz ( x1 ) or 150 kHz ( x2 ) or 75 kHz ( x4 ).
• impulse numbers, to be entered upon setup, also refer to the total number of edges
counted, i. e. the entry data must be doubled with ( x2 ) etc.
• When possible, you should set the switches in a way to produce approximately similar
impulse numbers on Master and Slave side to achieve best operation. i.e. 4096 impulses x
1 on the Masterside and 1000 impulses x 4 on the Slave side.

7.2 Analogue Connections

All the analogue input and output signals can be found on the 9-Pin Sub-D connector (female)
marked as "Analog" on the front plate. The Analogue common GND is internally connected
to the minus of the 24 VDC supply. All analogue levels are in range +/- 10 Volts.

When you use the digital feed- forward mode, you must only connect pin 7 which is the
analogue output for the slave drive speed reference.
When you use the analogue feed- forward mode, you must apply a 0 - 10 V analogue signal
proportional to the Master speed to pin 6.

Pin 4, 5, 8 and 9 are for special purpose and must normally remain unconnected.

This type of operation is ideally suited to synchronisation of drives with vastly differing loads. It
is also useful for index pulse tracking when both drives move in the opposite direction to the
synchronisation position. It also has advantages in hydraulic applications, when servo valves
are used instead of electric drives.

7.3 Power Supply

The BY150 operates from an unstabilised 24 VDC supply (+/- 25%), however, the voltage
including ripple should not exceed the following limits (18 V...30 V). The supply of the BY150 is
both electrically and mechanically protected against wrong polarity misconnection by protection
diodes and a special plug.

Warning:
At pin 1 of the "PI" connector and pin 1 of the "PI/PO" connector, a +24V output is available for
easier wiring of input and output supplies. This voltage is taken from behind of a current limiting
resistor. Short circuiting these outputs to GND can burn the resistor or internal printed lines.

7.4 Parallel Interface

The interface provides remote setting of operational and configuration registers. It receives BCD
or binary data (selectable) from a remote thumbwheel switch or PLC control. There are four
binary coded select lines which provide up to 16 addresses being accessible, via 20 data lines.
The register parameters are stored in the following manner:

a. Store the parallel data upon a strobe pulse. The data is then latched into the internal buffer,
without affecting the synchrocontrol operation at this point.

b. Activate data upon an input pulse. All the data stored in the buffer is loaded and executed.

It is easy to see how 16 external registers may be easily loaded into the BY 150.

The connection of the parallel interface is a 25 pin Sub-D connector (male) which is marked as
"PI" on the front facia.

Important Advice
Upon power up, the unit loads the full register set stored in its EEProm. Data transmitted from
the parallel and/or serial interface will overwrite the operational RAM-data, but not the
corresponding EEProm registers. As a result, when powering up, any parallel or serial data will
be replaced by EEProm data, until it is overwritten again.

The RAM data however can be restored to the EEProm at any time by parallel or serial
command.
Parallel interface operations must keep the following timing conditions:

Data valid BCD data

Read pulse
T1 T2 T1min = 5 msec.
T2min = 5 msec.
Fig. 22

Data latch occurs with the positive transition of the strobe pulse. Data lines must be in a valid
state at least 5 msec prior to the strobe, and remain present for an additional 5 msec while the
data is read. There is no upper limit for T1 and T2.

7.5 Control IN/OUT Port

There are 12 control input lines and 8 control output lines available on the 25 Pin Sub-D
connector (female). This is marked on the facia PI/PO. All the inputs are the same as the
parallel inputs. All the outputs are opto-isolated transistor outputs which are PLC compatible.

Inputs:

Reset (13):
Sets the internal differential counter and the analogue correction signal to zero and holds the
LED bar graph in it`s green centre position. Both drives run solely in analogue synchronisation
whilst held. This is an operational reset, different from the general master reset on the front
(see 21.)

Trim- (25):
Adjusts the angular position of the slave to lag the master, in the chosen direction. Provides
static or dynamic operation (see 9. "Mode")

Trim+ (12):
As above but adjusts the slave to lead the master.

Read Data (24):

Reads values of BCD or Binary code on parallel input. These values are stored in 16 separate
buffer memories, as selected. This data is not activated until the following input is made.

Activate Data (11):

A rising edge of this input transfers the data from the buffer memory to the operating memory.

N.B It is permissible to activate both "Read" and "Activate" inputs at the same time. Thus
for instance, a common input can be used to enter a new F1 factor.

17
Integrator Stop (23):
This input sets the phase integrator to 0. This prevents the integrator from building up error
when the drives are stopped, but not in a perfect synchronous position. This prevents any leap
in speed on restart.

Restore data to EEProm (10):

A rising edge on this input will restore all actual operating data to the EEProm and upon next
power-up the data set will be available again. The BY 150 is out of operation for a time of
100 msec after activation of the restore command.

Stop (22):
When going "High", the slave will leave the synchronous state and decelerate to standstill,
following an adjustable S-shape ramp. When going "low" again, the motor uses the same
ramp to restart and to synchronise again with the master. See parameter "Stop-Rmp.".

Master for/rev (9), Slave for/rev (21):

These inputs must remain open, when no reversals are scheduled. They also remain
unconnected, when both master and slave are 4-quadrant drives with common reversal at a
time (Both forward or both reverse). All other applications require to set these inputs in
accordance to the actual direction of rotation and the BY 150 will automatically respect
analogue polarity and digital counting sense.

Forward = Input "Low"

Reverse = Input "High"

This function needs a correct specification of the drive types in use (4- quadrant or switch
reversal, see parameter "D-Config"). The drives then can individually operate in any direction of
rotation.
After changing the signal state on inputs 9 and 21, the Reset input 13 must be cycled.

Index Slave (8), Index Master (20):

These 10-30 V inputs allow the use of marker pulses from proximity switches or photocells,
when the encoder index pulses are not suitable. Depending on the "Mode" selected, they
provide functions like index registration, phase offset actuation and factor tuning (increment
or decrement Fact 1).

The inputs are edge-triggered (positive transition) and must be activated by setting the Index
Mode register.

Control Outputs

Ready (5):
This announces that the unit is ready to run. On power up, this output is "Low" for about three
seconds to allow the power supply to settle, and then switches to "High".

Warning:
When "High", the unit could not detect a system fault itself, but this is not a guarantee
for fault-free operation!

Master Motion (4):

Indicates that the Master moves (High) or stands still (Low), according to the standstill definition
of the “MCFrequency“ register.

Index o. k. (16):
When High the Slave index pulses are inside the window set by parameter “Index Window“,
with respect to the Master index pulse and the phase displacement set to “Phase Offset“.

18
 Alarm 1- (3), Alarm 1+(14):
The alarm output signals that the preset tolerance band has been exceeded in one direction or
the other, as specified by the parameter "Alarm1".

Alarm 2- (15), Alarm 2+ (2):

As above, but with respect to the "Alarm2" preset. In general. Alarm 1 is used to indicate slight
temporary phase errors, while the synchronsiation is still fully active and Alarm 2 is used to
signal "out of synchronisation". The reason for Alarm outputs can be sudden load changes,
current limits or serious electrical, mechanical or peripheral problems.

If it is required to have isolated outputs, it is necessary to connect an external supply

(+5...+30V) to one of the "Com +" inputs. For non-isolated outputs, it is possible to use the
internal +24V supply (Pin 1) and connect this to "Com +" (Pin 6).

8. The Serial Port

The RS 232 serial link can be used for two purposes:

The unit includes a serial RS232 and a RS485 interface, both accessible by the Sub-D-9
connector marked „RS232“.

not work.

When using the RS485 interface, you can serve up to 32 different bus participants in either 2-

Fig.27

To access the operator PCB, remove right hand side plate.

The on board setting controls comprise an LCD display, 4 small buttons and a sliding switch.
When the switch is selected to "Run", the LCD permanently displays the software version of the
program and the buttons A, B, C and P have no function.

Programming by the on board setting controls requires the sliding switch to be slid to "PRG".
For external PC setting it must however be in the „Run“ position.

20
The buttons have the following control functions (Cursor highlights the register):

Button A: Scrolls register down; scrolls menu forward and also increments the highlighted
digit.

Button B: Scrolls registers up; scrolls menu backward and also decrements the highlighted
digit.

Button C. Returns from register to menu titles; increments highlighted digits to the right, (or
from full right to full left).

Button P: Enters from menu to registers; changes register from text to value and back to text
again. Stores actual data to the EEprom.

The following example shows how to set the “Trim“ register of the Data In menu (see register
table).

Action LCD

• Slide the switch to “PRG Data IN

• Select the Data IN Menu by pressing “P“ Fact 1

• Press “A“ several times until the LCD shows “Trimm“ Trimm

• Select the Trim register by P and read the actual setting

(e.g.100)

• Change setting to e.g. 50 msec like shown:

• Key B decrements digit highlighted by cursor 0 0 0

• Key C shifts cursor right 0 0 0

• Key A increments highlighted digit. Press A 5 times. 0 5 0

• Press P to store the new value Int-Time

When you slide the switch back to “RUN“, you read again “BY15012A“ and the unit is ready to
operate.

When you press “C“ instead, you come back to “DATA IN“ etc.

10. Modes of Operation

Prior to explaining details about the registers and their functions, the various modes of
operation are described first for better comprehension. There are eight modes selectable by the
mode register, which specifically set up the function of the trim inputs and the index inputs.

General instructions have already been given in sections 5 and 6. The mode also allows scaling
of the ratio setting in a +/- 99,99% format. All modes are listed in the table below:

Mode Trim inputs Index inputs Impulse scaling

11 Data In Menu

Fact 1:
Pulse multiplication for the master encoder. Range 0.0001 - 9.9999 (In mode 7: +/- 99.99%,
referring to a basic ratio of 1.0000 = 0%)

Fact 2:
Pulse multiplication for the slave encoder. Range 0.0001 - 9.9999. In modes 2 and 6, the setting
is automatically replaced by a fixed 1.0000 scaling.

Trim:
Rate of change, to be entered as a number of software cycles ( 1 cycle = 100 µsec), for

a. phase trimming, when the +/- trim inputs are activated in modes 1 - 4 and 7 – 8.

b. factor tuning, i.e. speed for incrementing/decrementing Fact1 ( mode 4)

c. offset displacement, i.e. additional speed to change from previous to new phase position
(mode 3).

Range of setting: 001 - 999 cycles per increment.

Example:
In mode 1, with Trim set to 001, each 100 µsec the phase will be displaced by one encoder
increment ( = 10.000 increments each second ), and with Trim set to 050, the processor will
take 50 cycles for one increment.

INT-Time:
Time constant for the phase integrator, which avoids positional errors, is also to be entered as a
number of software cycles. Range 000 - 999
Setting 000: No integration, proportional control only Setting 020: Integrator needs 20 cycles
(=2 msec ) to compensate for one increment etc.
In mode 2, 6 and 8 (index control), the integrator is automatically switched off.

Imp-Ind:
For marker synchronisation only. Number N of pulses between slave markers ( see 6. ). Range
1 – 999.999. In mode 8, the maximum occurring index error must be set here.

Offset:
Number of slave encoder pulses that the slave should displace with respect to the master. With
modes 2 and 6, this is equivalent to the phase displacement M, in mode 3 it defines the
distance of displacement upon external command. Range: -999.999 ... +999.999.

Alarm 1:
Set tolerance window. Can be set between 0000 - 9999 bits of difference. Typical setting 30.
Affects the Alarm 1 outputs when out of tolerance.

Alarm 2:
Normally used as "out of synchronisation" limit. Can be set between 0000 - 9999 and affects the
Alarm 2 outputs: Typical setting at 1024, at which point the correction signal is saturated.

Ramp:
Ramp time for changes of speed ratio. Range 0 - 99,9 sec.. Setting Ramp to zero results in
abrupt change of the slave speed. All other settings provide a sin² transition from one ratio to
next within the preset time, independant of the difference between initial and final speed.

Stop-Ramp:
Ramp time when using the Stop input. Range 0 - 99.9 sec. Setting Stop-Ramp to zero results in
abrupt deceleration or acceleration upon change of the stop signal. All other settings provide a
sin² - transition from operating speed to zero or vice versa within the preset time.

24
Cor-Divi:
This setting function is active in all operation modes. Setting range 1-9. This provides a digital
attenuation of the phase correction signal that is produced, when the drive on mechanical
grounds (deadband or backlash) cannot respond. In such a case, it is not desirable to make
corrections immediately. The "Cor-Divi" provides a window for the drive "backlash", within which
the controller produces no correction, and a division of the incremental error count.

Value 1 = No window, Reaction to 1 error increment, no division.

Value 2 = Window +/- 1 Encoder increment, division :2
Value 3 = Window +/- 3 Encoder increments, division :4
Value 4 = Window +/- 7 Encoder increments, division :8
Value 5 = Window +/- 15 Encoder increments, division :16 etc.

Please note that parameters Alarm 1 and Alarm 2 refer to the reduced phase error resulting
from the division by your Cor-Divi setting. This must be considered when setting the alarm
thresholds.

Phase Adj:
Only for index operation. Digital attenuation of the response upon marker pulse errors.
1 = full correction with each index check, i.e. 100%
2 = correction by several steps with 50% of the residual error
3 = correction by several steps with 33% of the residual error
4 = correction by several steps with 25% of the residual error
5 = correction by several steps with 20% of the residual error etc.

Clarification:
The setting depends on the dynamics of the drive and the maximum speed.
Example: If a marker pulse arrives every 20 msec but the drive cannot correct the largest error
in 20msec, then it will lead to instability if the next correction is executed before the previous is
completed. In such a case the phase correction percentage must be reduced.

Ind-Divi:
Only for index operation. This is a programmable index divider for the master marker pulses,
permitting different numbers of marker pulses from the master and the slave. See Section 6.
Range 1 - 99. For the same reason as clarified above, we also recommend to use the divider
with marker pulse frequencies higher than 10Hz..

F1-Scal:
This factor allows scaling of the remote Fact1 entry to "user units" resp. to adapt the numeric
value of Fact1 to the application.
It is essential, for all steps of setup, to programm F1-Scal to 10000 first in order to avoid
confusions with factor calculations.
(Only with this value, the setting corresponds to the real operative Fact1)!

Once the setup procedure is terminated, set F1-Scal to the numeric value that later should
correspond to an operative value of 1.0000 for Fact1. Example: if the operator desires to set
3.5000 instead of 1.0000, set F1-Scal to 35000. For all factor calculations, please be aware if
you operate with a proportional or a reciprocal characteristics of Fact1!

Fac1-min, Fac1-max:
These are limitations of the setting range of Fact1 and out of range settings will be overwritten
by the appropriate min or max value. With Fac1-min set to 0.9500 and Fac1-max set to 1.0500,
the operator is limited to a +/- 5% variation of the speed ratio.

Ind-Wind:
This parameter sets a window, where the master and slave index pulses should be within
during operation. It is possible to set the value in a range from 1 to 9999 encoder increments. It
affects the output “Index o.k.“, when master and slave index pulses are out of range.

25
 Mast-MC:
Defines “Standstill” of the Master drive by a minimum master encoder frequency (Hz). The
master motion output is high when the feedback frequency exceeds this setting and goes low
when underpassed.

Ind Mode:
This register selects the index source ( i. e. the cutting pulse and the print mark pulse ). You are
free to use either the TTL inputs on the encoder connectors, or the HTL inputs at the control
IN / OUT port PI / PO.

Index Mode Slave index Master index

Fig.30

Max Corr:
With index applications it may be desirable that corrections of index errors are limited to a
certain amount (i.e. to avoid damage of the material). Set this register to the maximum number
of encoder increments that should be corrected in one correction in several steps with limited
pitch. Set the register to 000 to receive full correction at a time.

SampTime:
Provides digital filtering of the feed forward signal generated from the master encoder. Range
0001 - 1000 msec. Normal setting 1 msec recommended.
In applications where the master speed is very unsteady, settings like 10 or even 100 msec can
be advantageous for smoother motion of the slave. Please note that higher setting results in
lower response with changes of the master speed.

12. Setup Menu

Mode:
There are 8 modes of operation as shown in Fig. 19. Setting range 1 - 8.

LV-Calculation:
This parameter determines the relationship between the factor settings and the resulting slave
speed. Also it selects analogue or digital feed forward operation.
With settings 1 - 4, an analogue signal proportional to the master speed must be applied to pin
6 of the analogue connector.
Settings 5 - 8 are similar to 1 - 4, but the feed forward signal is generated by the internal f/V
converter and pin 6 of the analogue connector must remain unconnected.

LV-Calc = 1 or 5:
The slave speed changes proportionally to the Factor 1 setting, i. e. doubles motor speed
when changing Factor 1 from 1.0000 to 2.0000. This setting is suitable for the majority of all
synchronising applications.

26
LV-Calc = 2 or 6:
The slave speed is reciprocal to the Factor 1 setting, i. e. halves the motor speed when
changing Factor 1 from 1.0000 to 2.0000. This setting is suitable for rotating cutter applications
(Factor 1 represents the length preset) and all other applications where the engineering units
are recipocal to the motor speed.

Roll A d = Factor 1

When increasing diameter of roll A, rotational speed must

decrease for same line speed.
Fig. 31

LV-Calc = 3 or 7:
The slave speed changes proportionally to Factor 1 and reciprocally to Factor 2. Suitable
for various applications which need remote setting of both scaling factors.

LV-Calc = 4 or 8:
The slave reference voltage remains constant, independent of Factor 1 and Factor 2 settings.

D-config:
Only with reversals of the master/slave rotation direction. See direction control inputs on page
19. As a definition of the drive types, the following table uses 4Q for 4 quadrant drives, +/- 10V
reference input, reversal by polarity of speed reference and CONT for switch reversal drive
types, which always operate with a positive reference and the direction is selected by external
contacts.

Add-Cor:
Switches the internal summation of the analogue correction signal on/off.
0 = off, no correction added to the analogue output.
1 = on, correction superimposed on the slave reference.
Must always be set to 1 for normal operation.

For serial operation only. Allows entry of a device address between 11 and 99. It is not
allowed to use addresses containing a "0" ( i. e. 20, 30, 40 etc.) as these are reserved for
collective addressing of several units.

Bus-Add, Bus-Baud, Bus-Config, BusTxPar, BusRxPar:

Only relevant for units with option „field bus interface“ (CAN-Bus or PROFI-Bus DP). See
supplementary instructions for further information.

Mast Dir:
Direction of phase of the master encoder. Settings can be changed from "0" to "1". When the
master encoder is rotated "forward", the front LED`s go up. If incorrect, change the A+B
channels or this direction bit to get correct counting sense.

Slav Dir:
Direction of phase of the slave encoder. When the slave encoder is rotated "forward", the front
LED`s go down. If incorrect, change A+B channels or this direction bit to get correct counting
sense.

Hint: The phase direction bits can also be easily set in the Testprog-Menu. When you select
Master direction or Slave direction, the LCD display operates as an up/down counter. The LCD
must always count up when you move the Master or the Slave forward. Counting sense can be
inverted by pressing Key “A”.

Off-Cor:
Digital setting of analogue offset on correction signal. Setting range +/- 99. Normal setting "0" *)

Gain-Cor:
Digital setting of gain control (proportional control) Range 0 - 9999. Setting to 9999 results in a
response of 100 mV per error bit. Recommended setting: 30....300 ( i. e. 0,3 mV....3mV per
error bit).

28
 Offs-Tot:
Digital setting of the offset on the slave speed reference output.
Range +/- 99. Normal setting "0" *)

Gain-Tot:
Digital setting of multiplication of analogue voltage signal. Range 0 - 400000.

*) Remark: BY 150 uses precision instrumental amplifiers which do not need an offset
adjustment. In larger drive plants however, by balance currents between several devices, an
external offset can build up, which can be compensated by the offset adjust. Also, offset
settings different from zero may be used to compensate for deadbands which some inverter
drives have with very low speed reference voltage.

13. Adjust Menu

There are only the parameters Gain-Cor and Gain-Tot accessible ( the same as described
above ), but in this menu they can be changed continuously with the motors running. This
allows easy adjustment of the analogue synchronisation and the intensitiy of correction while
observing the LED bar graph and the drives. Keeping down key A continously increments the
values and key B decrements, while the LCD displays the current state. The PRG key stores
the setting to the EEProm and key C resets the LED bar graph to it`s green centre position.

14. Testprg - Menu

This menu contains a couple of useful tests for the synchroniser itself and it`s peripheral
devices (encoders, remote lines etc.)

Mast-Dir: This is the same register as in the setup menu, but the LCD display operates as an
up/down counter for the master encoder pulses, permitting full check of the encoder functions.
When the encoder is rotated "forward", the counter counts up. If incorrect, press "A" to change
the counting direction. Key "B" operates as a counter reset button. Key "PRG" automatically
stores the direction in the Mast-Dir register.

Slave-Dir: Similar to Mast-Dir, but slave encoder. Counter must also count up with forward
rotation.

Off-Cor: Similar to the setup menu, but continuous scroll up/down by keys "A" and "B" and
100x increased resolution (100 mV output correspond to 1 mV in reality) for better measuring.

Gain-Cor: Similar to the setup menu, but continuous scroll up/down by "A" and "B" and full
scale correction output (1024 error bits are simulated).

Offs-Tot: Similar to setup menu, but scroll function with "A" and "B"

Gain-Tot: Similar to setup menu, but scroll function with "A" and "B"

LED+PO: Test for front LED`s and Control outputs PI/PO. Switches on and off all LED`s and
outputs, one after the other.

Cont-In: Checks and displays the state of the PI/PO control inputs. The LCD display shows
the inputs in hexadeciamal code (0...9, a,b,c,d,e,f). Touching key "A" changes the code to "1 of
12" and the high state pin numbers of the connector appear in the display. In this code, only
one pin can be displayed.

PI-IN: Displays the state of all data and select lines in a BCD or hexadecimal code. Suited
best to check data transmission from a remote switch or a PLC.

Factory: Hidden registers, factory accessible only.

15. The LED Display

The 8 LED`s mounted on front of the module indicate the instantaneous angular difference
between the two drives. The display provides information for commissioning and fault
monitoring, in a very simple form.

When both green LED`s in the centre are lit, the phase error is absolutely zero.

When either of the green LED`s is lit alone, the error lies between 1 to 7 bits. When one green
and one yellow LED is lit, the phase error lies between 8 to 15 bits, etc.

When the lights are up, this indicates positive correction (Master is ahead, increase Gain-Tot).
When the lights are down, this indicates negative correction (Slave ahead, decrease Gain-Tot).

The above notes hold for positive reference giving forward rotation. Everything is reversed for
negative reference giving forward rotation.

An analogue saturation comes up with 1024 error bits, but the counter itself will memorise and

18. Remarks about Drives, Encoders, Cables, Installation

18.1 The drives in use must be dimensioned correctly with respect to power and dynamics required.
The BY 150 can never provide synchronisation outside the physical limits of the drives.
Prior to connecting the master and the slave to the synchroniser, they must be adjusted for a
proper stand-alone operation with no oscillation, by means of a remote speed reference
voltage. The reference inputs must be potential free. The slave must be set to a maximum
dynamic operation. You must set all internal ramps to zero or minimum. Where your slave drive
allows to adjust the proportional gain, use the highest settings possible with regard to a stable
operation.

Avoid ground loops, i. e. between the power supply source and the minus potential of the speed
reference input which might be grounded also.

31
18.2 The resolution of the TTL-encoders, in principle, should be as high as possible, in order to
keep the mechanical phase error as small as possible when the synchroniser "plays" a few
encoder increments around the zero error position. However it would be nonsense to choose
the number of ppr much higher than needed or reasonable. If, for example, a gear box with
several 0.1 mm of clearance is installed, a 0.01 mm resolution of the encoder could cause
stability problems, which needed to be removed by the "Corr-Div" error divider again.

The BY 150 loads each encoder channel with a current of 12 mA. For this reason, one encoder
could be unable to supply the impulse inputs of several synchronisers at a time, as needed with
some multi drive systems. In such applications, our impulse distributor type GV 150 must be
used to feed several synchronisers from one encoder.

Please note, that not all types of cables are suited to transmit frequencies as high as 300 kHz!
However, with proper installation and screening, the RS 422 lines provide perfect transmission
even over long distances.

The cross section of encoder cables must be chosen with consideration of voltage drop on the
line. The BY 150 provides a 5.5 V encoder supply and at the other end the encoder must at
least receive it`s minimum supply voltage! (See encoder specifications).

18.4 All cables should be installed separately from motor cables and other power lines! Use
normal filtering methods for all inductive equipment installed close to the synchroniser ( i. e. RC
filters for AC contactors and diodes for DC inductive circuits). Observe all standards and
precautions usual for wiring and environment conditions with industrial electronic equipment.

18.5 If you need to switch electronic signals by relay contacts, it is necessary to use relays with gold
contacts. For impulse or analogue switching, we recommend the use of our electronic matrix
switch type GV 155.

19. Steps for Commissioning when using a PC and the OS3.2 software

This section describes, step by step how to set up the BY150 synchro controller with a PC. We
recommend to use a PC because it makes everything much easier where you do not have a
PC, please follow the subsequent steps by using the LCD and the keys for entry of data.

Make sure that the drives are properly adjusted to run the speeds needed for later
synchronisation. When using analogue feed forward, the internal acceleration ramps of Master
and Slave must be set to minimum. With digital feed forward, the Master may use internal
ramps, but the Slave ramps must be set to zero or minimum.
Observe all remarks and hints given in this manual and the drive’s manual. In case of any
problems, a digital multimeter and an oscilloscope should be available.

19.1 Remove right hand side plate and adjust carefully DIL switch S1, as shown in section 4.

19.2 Verify that all connections are correct. Disconnect first all connectors from the front, except the
power supply connector. Switch power on. After a short delay, both LED´s on the front will begin
to blink.

19.3 Connect your PC to the BY150 unit like shown previously.

32
19.4 Start the OS3.2 operator software.
You must see the following main screen now.

Where you find an empty mask with the indication ”OFFLINE”. click to the Comms menu and
verify the serial settings.

Ex factory, the BY150 is set like shown on the screen and you must set the COM number of
your PC which you use for communication. Where you do not know the actual settings of your
BY150 unit, you can use the SCAN function in the T ools menu to find out.

19.5 When serial communication is o.k., enter all variables according to your application. The
following registers must be set to fixed values for the first steps of commissioning, like shown in
table. (You can change these settings later when the first steps have been completed
successfully.

Fig. 40

With digital feed forward, the initial ”Gain Total” setting depends on the master encoder
frequency at maximum master speed.

10 kHz 25000
30 kHz 8300
100 kHz 2500 Fig. 41

Settings shown are approximate and values between can be interpolated.

Some other settings are unknown and not important at this time (e.g. Master direction)

When you have entered all variables, click the Transmit All button and then the Store EEprom key
to transmit and store data to the BY150 synchroniser.
Remark: Where you find letters undersigned, you can get the same function also by keypad,
pressing ALT and the corresponding key (ex. ALT + S = Store EEprom).

19.6 It is recommendable to check the correct function of the external control signals you have
connected to the unit. When you switch ON and OFF the remote signals, you can see the input
state in the corresponding indicator box of the ”external” column of the INPUTS field on your
screen.

19.7 With the next step we need to find out the direction bits of Master and Slave.
At this time we must be absolutely sure about the direction of rotation and our forward/reverse
definition.

a) Where we use analogue feed forward system

(LV-Calcualtion = 1...4), the forward direction for both, Master and Slave, is the direction
which the drives take when positive speed reference (o...+10V) is applied.

b) Where we use digital feed forward system

(LV-Calculation = 5...8), the polarity assignment is not important for the Master. But at any
time, the forward definition for the Slave is again the direction it moves with positive
speed reference.

c) When in later operation no reversals are planned, set up your drives in a way that you
always use positive speed reference. Where you later need to operate the drives in both
directions, make sure you use always the ”forward” direction for the following steps (like
defined by a) and b).

34
 The subsequent steps will fail upon non-observance!

Select the Test function of the Tools menue

• Click to the ”Master Direction” box and you will find an up/down counter for the master
encoder. This counter must count up (increment) when you rotate the master encoder
forward. If it counts down, click ”Change direction” to reverse the counting sense. If it
counts up, change over to the ”Direction Slave” box.

• The ”Direction Slave” counter again must count up when you rotate the Slave encoder
forward. If necessary, change direction. If it counts up, click to any other box to exit the
direction settings.

This procedure has automatically set our Master and Slave direction bits to either 0 or 1
according to need.

Hint: You can use the previous procedure also to check the proper function of your encoders
and wiring. While you rotate the encoder forward by exactly one or several turns, we must find
the ppr number (or multiple) in our display window. When we rotate back by the same amount,
our counter must again have reached zero. Any other result would indicate a problem like
wrong wiring of encoder channels or slip of the coupling or interference due to bad screening
etc.

19.8 When you use the parallel interface (PI), click to the Parallel Interface box and verify that your
parallel data appear correctly on the screen. You can easily detect wiring faults or transmission
problems when the figures shown in the indicator box do not match the data transmit.

19.9 When, in final operation, we do not use one of the Index operation modes, we can exit the Test
Menu now. Where Index functions will be needed later, click to the ”Master Index” and the
”Slave Index” boxes to execute the following tests:

• When you move the corresponding axis forward, you will find the number of encoder
pulses between two index pulses in the display window. Where the index comes from the
encoder itself, this is the ppr number of the encoder. Many times, when using external
index pulses from a proximity, the accurate number of pulses between two markers is not
exactly known and you can find it out by this test (see ”N”, ”K” and ”Factor1” in section 6.
which is important for successful index operation!).

35
 • When we move slow enough, we can also see the index pulses blinking in one of the
indicator boxes (Upper = HTL-index, Lower = TTL-index).
• When we rotate to reverse direction, the display will not show our impulse number, but it’s
16 bit complement which is ”65536 - impulse number”.
After performing the index tests, exit the test menu and get back to the main screen.

19.10 We must now adjust our Gain Total setting. This is to ensure the Slave drive receives the
correct speed reference voltage for the speeds it should run.
Select the Adjust function of the Tools menu.

The subsequent procedure assumes our Gain Correction is set to 100 and you do not touch
Gain correction before we have set Gain Total.

• Enable both, Master and Slave drive and run the Master forward at slow speed (e.g. 10-
20% of max. speed). The Slave will follow the Master.
• Set the DIFFERENTIAL COUNTER to zero and the Colour bar graph to the green center
by switching Reset to ON.
• Watch the colour bar while you switch Reset OFF. It will deviate to right or left while the
DIFFERENTIAL COUNTER counts to positive or negative. Please note, with very wrong
initial setting we can swap over the opposite side after some time. Then please observe
only to where we deviate immediately after releasing RESET.
• When we deviate to right (positive), our Gain Total setting is too low and must be
increased.
• When we deviate to left (negative), our Gain Total setting is too high and must be reduced.
• Find the Gain Total setting that keeps the DIFFERENTIAL COUNTER around zero and the
colour bar around the green center zone.
• For rough adjusting, use the slide button in the Gain Total field. For fine tuning, use the
keys.

19.11 When Gain Total is set to keep the bar around zero, we adjust Gain Correction now. The
general rule is to increase the setting to values as high as possible, but still ensure stable
operation. Typical settings are between 300 and 2000. Depending on drive, inertia and gearing
you can get stability problems when Gain-Correction is too high (rough or noisy motion of the
drive and visible oscillation of the bar graph and the differential counter). If so, reduce Gain
Correction until we are stable again. When you have observed stability problems, you should
also try to suddenly stop and restart the master and ensure the slave does not tend to oscillate
after this action also.
To change the Gain Correction settings use again the slide button and the keys like with
Gain-Total.

36
19.12 Change the speed between standstill and maximum speed, observe the differential counter and
the colour bar and optimise the Gain settings if necessary. Exit the ADJUST MENU when you
feel your settings are o.k. This will automatically store your settings to the EEprom of the BY150
synchroniser.

This concludes the general setup procedure which needs to be done with every application. At
this time your drives operate in a closed loop digital synchronisation and the next section will
show you some hints how you could still improve performance with some applications.

20. Hints for Final Operation

20.1 Integrator
When, for stability reasons, you needed to keep your ”Gain Correction” value low, any important
non linearity in your drive system could cause changing phase errors* with changing speed
(e.g. colour bar deviates to down at low speed, stays in center at medium speed and deviates to
up at maximum, speed).

* Please note that a deviation of the colour bar does not indicate a speed error at all, unless the
differential counter shows figures outside a +/- 1024 error increment range. Inside this range, the
speed always is error-free and deviations only refer to the constant number of encoder increments
that the Master leads or lags the Slave position.

Where your differential counter remains in an acceptable range around zero (e.g. -5....0....+5) at
any speed, there is no need to use the Integrator and you can leave the ”Integration Time”” at
000.
Where you feel your phase accuracy should be better, set Integration Time to 50....40....30
20....10 or even lower. The Integrator will move the phase error always into a +/- 6 increments
error window and the lower the setting, the faster the speed of compensation. Too low settings
(= too high integration speeds) can result in oscillation, depending on individual inertia/friction/
dynamic conditions of your system.

With Index operation, the Integrator is automatically switched off, because the marker pulses
will compensate for phase errors.

20.2 Correction Divider

Where you find your colour bar oscillates quickly around zero over several fields, this indicates
your encoder resolution is high with respect to mechanical clearance and backlash. Set the
correction divider to 2 or 3 to get more stable operation.

20.3 Offset voltage

Some low cost AC inverter drives have a deadband around zero. e.g. they would not respond to
small speed references like 50mV. This can cause the slave to lag the Master with very low
speed. You are free to use the Offset Correction register and set it to a negative value like “”-
50”. This will result in a small positive output voltage like +50mV at standstill and the drive is
kept at the threshold of it’s deadband from where it can break off immediately.

20.4 Other settings

Up to now, we have operated in mode 1 with a couple of initial settings, in order to make
commissioning easier. You are free now to set all variables to their final values, like required for
your application.

37
20.5 It can be useful to observe the performance of synchronising by the oscilloscope function, which
you can find in the Tools menu. You can record all the variables and registers by entering their
serial access codes.
The following supplementary codes are available for readout and record:

Synchronising error
:1
(Differential Counter)

:7 Integration register

:6 Index error: Difference between actual and desired

position of the slave-index. Unit: slave encoder
increments (register is only in use when index
operation is activated).

:9 actual Master speed

(1Bit = 5 Hz of master encoder frequency)
Fig 42

The following example shows the error register (channel 1) and the line speed (channel 2) while
we accelerate the drives, an the peak shows how the unit corrected the position after an index
check.

38
21. Serial Codes

Beside the serial access codes shown in this manual, the subsequent codes are available to
execute the same commands that can be activated by the hardware inputs also:

Ser. Code Bit of control word (C86) Function Type

55 14 Slave F/R S
56 4 Read PI D
57 2 Integrator Stop S
58 0 Stop S
59 15 Master F/R S

61 13 Index Slave S
62 12 Index Master S
65 6 Trim - S
66 5 Trim + S
67 3 Activate Data D
68 1 Store EEPROM D
S = Static command, must be set to 1 to activate command and
must be reset to 0 to deactivate command.
D = Dynamic command, must be set to 1 to activate command.
Is automatically reset to 0 after execution.
Fig 43

All commands can be activated either by its serial access code or by setting the corresponding
bit of the control word (Ser. Access code 86).
Please note that all serial commands are logical ORed to hardware commands (control inputs)
and hence a command is ON whenever set by serial command or hardware input or both at a
time.
The state of the control outputs can be read out by the status word (Ser. Access code 85) via
serial interface. Bit 7, 6, 5, …, 1, 0 of the status word correspond to control outputs PI/PO pin 5,
17, 4, 16, 3, 15, 2, 14.
For more details please refer to the manual of the Drivecom protocol which is available on
request.

22. General Master Reset and Erase of EEProm

The unit carefully checks all entry data for validity and correctness within their permitted
numeric range. If, as an extreme exception, invalid data should intrude into the register range,
bad function or even a full hang-up could be the result. If this should ever happen
• push the Reset button on the unit`s front (accessible by a small screw driver only)
or
• power down the unit and power up again after a few seconds.
Both measures result in a complete reconfiguration of all ports and registers. RAM and buffer
data will be lost and the unit restores all data from the EEProm.
If, however, invalid data should have penetrated to the EEProm, even the previous steps will not
help. In this case:
• switch off the unit
• set the slide switch PRG/RUN to the PRG position
• keep key A down while powering on the unit and keep it down for at least another 5 sec.
This will clear up all the EEProm to it`s minimum values, and all registers need to be setup once
more.
Above steps represent an emergency procedure that you will never have to apply under
regular conditions. In an extreme case however ( i. e. lightening-strike in the factory etc. ) they
could help to get the unit working again.
Please note that you must always use the EEProm Erase Procedure when you have changed
the processor for reasons of firmware upgrade !
