1. RESOLVER OPTION BOARD OPT- BC
This manual is valid for board versions VB00339i or later. The Resolver option board OPT-BC provides the user with an interface to use resolvers as feedback device to VACON® NXP Drive. The inter face pr ovides speed and position data. The OPT- BC includes also encoder simulation output (HTL level) and secondary encoder input (HTL-level).

1.1 Note about absol ute angl e and differ ent HW and SW ver sions
Due to differences in hardware and software, the angle given by OPTBC resolver board to application can differ by 180 degrees in the same system. When replacing OPTBC resolver option board in existing installations, care must be taken that angle value does not change accidentally. To prevent this, it is r ecommended that encoder ID run is always executed when r eplacing OPTBC resolver option boards in existing installations. This will automatically correct the possible 180 degrees difference that might be induced when replacing OPTBC option boar d.

Following table shows which OPTBC resolver hardwar e and software combinations are compatible. For example, if you replace OPTBC with HW version G and software version V005 with OPTBC with hardware version K and software version V013 the angle does not change by 180 degrees. In this case, encoder ID run is not needed but still recommended.

HW & SW ver sion
HW: G or prior, SW: V005 or prior HW: H or later, SW: V010, V011, V012 HW: H or later, SW: V013

WARNING

Not per for ming encoder ID run after replacing OPTBC r esolver option boar d pr ior to any other use of the AC dr ive may result in severe harm or injury to equipment and/or persons.

1.2 Resol ver basics
A resolver is a rotary transfor mer where the magnitude of the ener gy through the resol ver windings varies sinusoidal as the shaft rotates. A resolver contains one primary winding and two secondary windings, the SIN and COS windings. Primary winding is in the rotor of the resolver and secondary windings are in the stator. Secondary windings are mechanically displaced 90 degrees from each other. The pr imar y winding is excited by an AC voltage called the r eference voltage (Vr ). The induced voltages in the SIN and COS Windings are equal to the value of the Reference Voltage multiplied by the SIN or COS of the angle of the input shaft from a fixed zero point.

Why r esol ver s?

Resolver signals

When a Motion control application exists in a hot, humid, dusty, oily, or mechanically demanding environment, a resolver-based system is the preferred choice.

1.3 Resol ver to digital conver sion basics
The OPT- BC boar d sends the Excitation signal to the resolver , and resolver sends sin and cos signals back to the boar d. In the OPT- BC boar d, sin and cos signals ar e converted to incremental encoder pulses by the ASIC cir cuitr y (see picture 1). The incremental pulses are used for calculating rotation speed in the VACON® NXP control card. The conversion from resolver sin/cos signals to digital pulses is called RTD (Resolver To Digital conver sion).

2.2.2 X21 (C- Pulse sour ce selection)

Incremental C-pulse (Zero pulse) to control board is read from the resolver attached to the option board (Default).

C-pulse is External. Read from FRZ input. This feature can be used with special applications for marking position data. Not supported in Standard VACON® NXP applications.

2.2.3 X10 and X13 (Gain selection)
SIN and COS feedback signals fr om the r esolver should be in the r ange of 1.8 4Vrms (between SINHI - SINLO and COSHI - COSLO). To scale the input signals to an acceptable level we can select 1/3,  or 1/4 attenuation for the input lines. Following equation can be used to calculate output signal level. Transformation for the corresponding resolver is told in resolver datasheets.

EXC_OUT

= excitation output voltage

SIN Feedback voltage = EXC_OUT * Transformation ratio

1/4 gain for SIN / COS feedback signals from 3.25 Vrms to 4Vrms
Local contacts: http://drives.danfoss.com/danfoss-drives/local-contacts/

10

I nst al l at i on

1/3 gain for SIN / COS feedback signals from 2.4 Vrms to 3.24Vrms
1/2 gain for SIN / COS feedback signals from 1.8 Vrms to 2.39Vrms
X13 sets SIN attenuation and X10 sets COS attenuation. SIN and COS input pair s should all have the same attenuation to keep signals symmetrical.
For example, a resolver that is rated for 5.6Vrms excitation and has a transformation ratio of 0.485 gives output voltage of 2.72Vrms. Excitation voltage and corresponding settings are selected from the table 1 in chapter 2.2.4. In this case exact match is found. Resolver output voltage of 2.72V Vrms fits to the signal range of 1/3 attenuation.
2.2.4 X3 and X4 Excitation Voltage Contr ol Resolver option board has an amplifier for adjusting excitation voltage. Jumpers X3-1-4 and X4-1-3 set the amplifier gain and consequently the excitation voltage. Excitation voltage can be set in the range of 1.3Vrms to 7.5Vrms. To get the best possible accuracy, excitation voltage should be selected to be as high as the used resolver allows AND so that the output voltage fits to the given range. Excitation frequency is set from the control panel and it should be set prior to connecting the resolver to the option board. To set the excitation voltage accurately, measure the excitation voltage when resolver is connected. Notice that measurement device must be capable of measuring high frequency RMS voltage.
Typical excitation voltage for each jumper setting can be checked from the table, usable values are highl ight ed.
EXC_OUT = target excitation output voltage. This is specified in resolver datasheets (Excitation Vol t age)

Now, set the calculated gain with X3 and X4 jumpers. Jumper settings for the desired gain can be found from table. All jumpers attached gives minimum gain and all jumpers open gives maximum gain. Maximum output voltage is limited to the boards internal voltages and is approximately 7.5Vrms. Recommended voltage range is highlighted with blue.

3. INSTALLATION Internal components and circuit boards are at high potential when the AC drive is connected to the power source. This voltage is extremely dangerous and may cause death or severe injury if you come into contact with it.
WARNING!
3.1 Instal l ing the option boar d
Following installation guidelines should be followed carefully to get the best performance of the system. Improper installation of the system might cause to disturbances which may in RTD conversion generate extra encoder pulses or jitter to the pulse lengths.
Since the board supports large variation of resolvers, the used resolver should always be verified before installation.
The option boar d OPT- BC can only be used with VACON® NXP dr ives.
The option boar d OPT- BC can be connected to sl ot C. Disconnect the drive from the mains before starting the installation.

D Install the option board in slot C on the control board of the AC drive. Make sure
that the grounding plate fits tightly in the clamp. Strip the cable at such distance from the terminal that you can fix it to the enclosure with the grounding clamp. Note! We recommend to use always shielded twisted pair cables with resolvers. Use cables that are recommended for encoder and resolver feedback. Do not mix signals in twisted pairs.
Always make grounding contact throughout the full circumference of the cable (360° ) r equir ed. The cable is weakened where the shield is removed

E Make a sufficiently wide opening for your cable by
cutting the grid as wide as necessary.

3.2 Instal l ing the r esol ver Connect the resolver after setting the jumpers. Use cable clamp in the lower part of the VACON® NXP drive to connect cable shield. Strip the cable so that the shield is exposed only from the part that is fitted to the clamp.
3.3 Additional cabling instr uctions
The resolver and other control cables should not be in parallel with power cables (supply and motor cabl e).

The feedback signals might also suffer from the noise coming fr om motor and supply cables. Use shielded symmetrical motor cables. It is recommended to connect the motor cable shield with 360° emc bushing. The motor and supply cables should not be in parallel with resolver signal cable.

- Incorrect settings for resolver - Resolver failure - Cabling failure
In case of fail ur e, check the jumper settings, cabl ing and r esol ver assembl ing.
4.3 OPTBC Resol ver er r or r egister bits Analog input variables ANIN5 and ANIN6 shows error registers of OPTBC Resolver option board. These variables can be seen as 7.3.2.6 AnIN:C.5 and 7.3.2.7 AnIN:C.6 monitor values. Application developers can also use this information in application if needed.
ANIN5 shows currently active error register bits.
ANIN6 shows cumulative er r or r egister bits after AC dr ive boot.
