How to select and program an Encoder Option Card on an Altivar 900 Process Drive?
Issue:
How do you select and configure an Encoder Option Card on an Altivar 900
Product Line:
Altivar 900 Process Drive (ATV930, ATV950, ATV960, ATV980, VW3A3420, VW3A3422, VW3A3423, VW3A3424)
Environment:
All serial numbers for Altivar 900 Process Drive
Cause:
N/A
Resolution:
Installation:
3 modules are available depending on the encoder technology:
Wiring:
Use Slot B, for encoder interface, and I/O relay module (Left)
Reference attached manual for wiring instructions.
All wiring should match from encoder to encoder card pin-outs (A+, A-, B+, B-, Z, Z- ,V+)
Programming:
*Key Notes:
- Make sure wiring from encoder to encoder cards matches or else Encoder Check will not change to done.
- If drive faults on SPF then check Encoder Card voltage pin-outs wiring and check [Encoder supply volt.] UeCv setting.
- [Encoder check] ENC may stay stuck on yes unless you run the motor for a few seconds, minimum speed 10%, to synchronize the encoder card.
- Encoder cards may use 9 or 15 pin adapter connections. Adapter connectors are not included with encoder cards. May need to contact a 3rd party vendor. DigiKey is one commonly used manufacturer.
- Only available with the Altivar 900 and ATV340. Encoder cards are not compatible with the ATV600 series drives.

Wiring:
Use Slot B, for encoder interface, and I/O relay module (Left)
Reference attached manual for wiring instructions.
All wiring should match from encoder to encoder card pin-outs (A+, A-, B+, B-, Z, Z- ,V+)
Programming:
- Configure the parameters of the encoder used
- Configure the motor parameters.
- Set Encoder usage [EnU] to [No] nO.
- Perform auto-tuning.
- Set Encoder check [EnC] to [Yes] YES
- Run motor for a few seconds (Encoder check should change to done)
- Set [Ctt] Motor control type to [FVC] Flux Vector Control
*Key Notes:
- Make sure wiring from encoder to encoder cards matches or else Encoder Check will not change to done.
- If drive faults on SPF then check Encoder Card voltage pin-outs wiring and check [Encoder supply volt.] UeCv setting.
- [Encoder check] ENC may stay stuck on yes unless you run the motor for a few seconds, minimum speed 10%, to synchronize the encoder card.
