Rotary encoder TRT manual

Product catalog summary
Safety Instructions
  • Scope: Applicable to specific absolute encoders with PROFINET interface.
  • Documentation: Includes system-specific instructions, this manual, data sheet TRT 12887, connection assignment, and assembly instructions.
  • Proper Use: Designed for registering angular or linear positions, to be connected to downstream electronics.
  • Commissioning: Must be performed by a specialist electrician, ensuring protection against mechanical damage and adherence to specified limit values.
General Information
  • The TRT encoders are designed for direct connection to PROFINET, supporting a 16-bit velocity signal and slew ring functionality for converting sensor shaft position into slewing ring position.
Installation
  • General Information: Follow PROFINET assembly guidelines, use certified cables, and ensure cable length does not exceed 100m.
  • Electrical Connection: Separate connectors for supply and PROFINET system, with integrated switch allowing flexible port use.
  • Status LEDs: Indicate operating voltage, network connection, data exchange, and errors through specific flashing codes.
  • Project Planning: GSD file and bitmap available online for integration into project planning tools.
Project Planning with Simatic Step7
  • Details the integration of the TWK TRT encoder into a Siemens S7 control system using Step7 version 5.5.
Data Format
  • Includes position data, velocity, and reference value settings with various coding formats.
Parameterisation
  • Describes standard and slew ring encoder parameters.
Diagnosis
  • Overview of PROFINET alarms and diagnostic data for Encoder Class 2 Profile.
Scope of Delivery
  • Includes terms related to absolute encoders.
Installation of the GSD File
  • Download the GSD file and encoder symbol from www.twk.de. Different files are available for single- and multiturn encoders and various code types.
  • In the hardware configuration, select 'Install GSD files' under Extras, set the directory, and install the file. The encoder symbol installs automatically.
  • After installation, the hardware catalogue updates, and the TRT absolute encoder appears under PROFINET, Further FIELD DEVICES, Encoders, TWK T series, TRT.
Installing the Absolute Encoder
  • Drag the TRT encoder onto your PROFINET system. The encoder's PROFINET interface installs with default values, and the corresponding module must be installed.
Installing the Module
  • Modules with different resolutions and data formats are available, defined by the encoder type. The network data and I/O address can be set by double-clicking the encoder symbol and 'Slot 1'.
Setting the Network Data
  • Assign a unique name to the device for network identification. The controller can automatically assign an IP address if 'IP address assignment by IO controller' is checked.
Setting the Absolute Encoder
  • Set the I/O address for position, velocity, and preset values. Parameters can be adjusted in the 'Parameters' tab.
Real-Time Mode and Updating Time
  • Set the transmission cycle and updating time via the PROFINET system's context menu. The default updating time is 2 ms, with a minimum of 250 µs.
Device Exchange and Automatic Commissioning
  • For device exchange without a programming device, ensure the controller and devices support this function. Use the topology editor to define PROFINET connections.
Assignment of the Device Name
  • If automatic commissioning prerequisites are unmet, assign the encoder name manually. The device logs onto the controller with its name and receives an IP address.
Resetting to Default Settings
  • Reset the encoder to delivery condition using the 'Reset' button. This clears the device name and IP parameters.
TIA-Portal Integration
  • Integrate the TWK TRT absolute encoder into a Siemens S7 control system using Step 7 Professional V13 in the TIA portal. Follow similar steps for GSD file installation and encoder setup.
Device Exchange and Commissioning
The document outlines the process for assigning a new device name or IP address when replacing an absolute encoder. It emphasizes the importance of planning for this during project setup. Automatic commissioning can avoid manual device name assignment if certain prerequisites are met, such as support for 'Device exchange without interchangeable medium' by the controller and devices, and devices being in delivery condition without a device name.
Manual Device Name Assignment
If automatic commissioning prerequisites are not met, the device name must be assigned manually using the PROFINET system's context menu. The absolute encoder must be connected, and the correct online connection selected to display accessible devices.
Resetting to Factory Settings
The document describes how to reset encoder data to factory settings, which includes clearing the device name and IP parameters. After resetting, the connection to the PROFINET controller is closed and must be re-established.
Application Program
Examples of program modules for reading position values, setting presets, and reading diagnostic data are provided. The document notes that TWK-ELEKTRONIK GmbH does not guarantee the correct functioning of these examples.
Data Format
The document details the data format for position and velocity values, including coding for different encoder types (R, W, S). Position data is output as a 32-bit unsigned integer, and velocity as a 16-bit signed integer. The document also explains how to set reference values and the importance of ensuring the encoder shaft is stationary during this process.
Parameterisation
Parameterisation is carried out using PROFINET services and should not be changed during system operation. The document provides details on standard encoder parameters, including operating mode, scaling function, resolution, and gate time. It also describes parameters specific to slew ring encoders.
Specifications
The document outlines the specifications for an encoder pinion that gears into a slew ring. The resolution position can range from 1 to 8192 steps multiplied by the gear ratio, with a maximum resolution of 32768 steps for a 1:4 gear ratio. The gate time for speed measurement is adjustable between 10 to 1000 ms. The resolution for speed calculation is also adjustable, independent of the resolution position.
Procedures
To achieve a desired resolution in degrees, parameters can be set to specific step values (e.g., 360 steps for 1° resolution). The speed can be calculated using the formula u = v x 60000 / t, where v is the encoder output, t is the gate time, and r is the resolution for speed calculation.
Diagnosis
The encoder provides diagnostic information through LEDs, PROFINET alarms, and diagnosis records. Common errors include sensor errors, preset errors, velocity range exceeded, and parameter errors. Each error has a specific LED indication and suggested remedies.
Diagnosis Data
Diagnosis data is available in various records, including operating status, encoder type, maximum resolution, and software version. Manufacturer-specific diagnostic data includes flash memory errors and parameter errors.
Scope of Delivery
The delivery includes an absolute encoder with a PROFINET interface and connection assignment. Additional resources such as datasheets, user manuals, and example programs are available for download.
Annex A - Absolute Encoder Terms
This section explains key terms such as resolution, measuring range, total number of steps, code path, and reference value/preset.
