7.4 Sensor Module Cabinet-Mounted SMC20
7.4.1

Description

The Sensor Module Cabinet-Mounted SMC20 evaluates encoder signals and transmits the
speed, actual position value, rotor position and, if necessary, the motor temperature and
reference point via DRIVE-CLiQ to the Control Unit.
The SMC20 can be operated from Firmware 2.2 onwards
Encoders that can be connected are incremental SIN/COS (1 Vpp) and absolute encoders
with EnDat and SSI (with 5 V operating voltage, from firmware 2.4).
The maximum sensor cable length is 100 m.
The component is snapped on to a mounting rail according to DIN EN 60715.

Safety information

The 50 mm clearances above and below the components must be observed.
NOTICE
Only one measuring system can be connected to each Sensor Module.
Note
There may be no electrical connection between the measuring system housing and the
measuring system electronics (this requirement is fulfilled for most encoder systems). If this
is not carefully observed, then under certain circumstances the system will not be able to
reach the required noise immunity (there is then a danger of equalization currents flowing
through the electronics ground).
CAUTION
Connecting cables to temperature sensors must always be installed with shielding. The
cable shield must be connected to the chassis potential at both ends over a large surface
area. Temperature sensor cables that are routed together with the motor cable must be
twisted in pairs and shielded separately.
