In case of unexpected problems, failures or malfunctions the device must be shipped for back to the manufacturer for checking, adjustment and reparation (if necessary). Unauthorized opening and repairing can have negative effects or failures to the protection-measures of the unit.


2. Compatibility Hint

This product is a successor model of the thousandfold proven converter type FU251. The new product is suitable for a 100% replacement of the previous model, however some differences must be observed with DIL switch settings and parameter settings.

Some essential advantages of FU252 compared to FU251 are:



Maximum frequency 1 MHz (instead of 500 kHz)



Total conversion time in-out = 1 ms (this was no more assured with

FU251 after the modifications necessary for RoHS conformity)



Capability to accept even single-ended TTL input signals

(i.e. TTL input A only without inverted TTL signal /A)



The setting of the analog format (+/-10 V, 0 … 10 V or 0/4 … 20 mA) can be done by a supplementary DIL switch (no more PC required)



Enhanced auxiliary output 5 V / 250 mA for encoder supply


3. Introduction

FU 252 is a small and low-cost, but highly performing converter for industrial applications, where one frequency or two different frequencies need to be converted into an Analog signal or a serial data format. The unit has been designed as a compact module with 12 screw terminals and a 9-position SUB-D connector (female). The housing is suitable for standard DIN rail mounting.

3.1. Impulse input formats and input levels

The input site provides channels A and B and also the inverted lines /A and /B. All inputs are designed for use with either HTL level or TTL level, with either single-ended format or differential format (RS422).

The unit can convert the following formats to Analog and serial: a. Quadrature signals with a 90



phase displacement. Polarity of the Analog output and sign of the serial data depend on the direction given by the A/B phase. b. Single channel impulses on channel A. Input B sets the polarity of the output (LOW = negative, HIGH = positive). In case of open (unconnected) inputs, please note:



Open NPN inputs are evaluated as HIGH state



Open PNP inputs are evaluated as LOW state

Open RS422 inputs may cause problems, therefore please set unused inputs to HTL by

means of the appropriate DIL switch c. Fully independent frequencies on both channels A and B. The output signal can represent the sum, the difference, the product or the ratio of the two input frequencies.

3.2. Operating range

The full scale frequency (i.e. the input frequency where the Analog output reaches 10 V or

20 mA) can be set in a range from –1 MHz to +1 MHz. The operating range of the unit can be assigned to any frequency window inside this frequency range.

A “zero output frequency” can be set to guarantee defined operation of the converter with low input frequencies.

For applications with unstable input frequencies, the unit provides programmable digital filters for smoothing of the output signal.

3.3. Suitable encoders and sensors

The FU252 converter can accept the following impulse sources:



Quadrature encoders with HTL level output (10 – 30 V) and either PNP or NPN or Push-

Pull or NAMUR characteristics, using A and B outputs wit 90° displacement



Single channel impulse sources like proximity switches or photocells, providing HTL level at PNP or NPN or Namur characteristics



TTL / RS422 quadrature encoders with output lines A, /A ,B and /B



Symmetric single channel sources with TTL / RS422 output, providing differential signals (e.g. A and /A)



Asymmetric single channel sources wit TTL level (without inverted signals, e.g. A only)

In general, HTL encoders will be supplied from the same source as the converter itself.

For supply of TTL encoders, the unit provides an auxiliary output of 5.5 volts

(stabilized, max. 250 mA).


4. Terminal Assignments and Connections

We recommend connecting the Minus wire of the power supply to earth potential.

Please observe that, under poor earthing and grounding conditions, multiple earth connections of screens and GND terminals may cause severe problems. In such cases it may be better to have only one central earthing point for the whole system.

GND terminals 4, 6 and 12 are connected internally.

Under nominal conditions the current consumption of the unit is approx. 70 mA (aux. output

unloaded, see section 13 “Technical Specifications”). Lower input voltage and load of the aux.

output will increase the consumption accordingly.

Current output 0-20mA / 4-20mA Voltage output +/-10V

4.1. Example for use of TTL encoders

If applicable, the encoder can be supplied from the FU252 converter. Where the encoder is already supplied from a remote source, we recommend fully differential operation, with no

GND connection between encoder and converter (see figures a. and b.)

4.3. Proximity switches, photocells etc.

These connections are fully similar to a HTL incremental encoder. With single channel operation, input B remains unconnected or can be used to select the output polarity. With use of two independent frequencies for forming sum, difference or ratio, input B is used for the second input frequency.

To use sensors with 2-wire NAMUR characteristics:



set the inputs to HTL and NPN



connect the positive wire of the sensor to the corresponding input and the negative wire to GND.

4.4. Analog output

The unit provides a +/-10V voltage output and a 0 - 20mA / 4 – 20 mA current output at a resolution of 14 bits, i.e. the voltage output operates in steps of 1.25 mV and the current output operates in steps of 2.5 µA.

The nominal load of the voltage output is 2 mA and the current output accepts loads between zero and 270 ohms.

The Analog ground uses a separate terminal, which however internally is connected to the GND potential of the power supply.

4.5. Serial interface

The unit provides selectively a RS232 resp. RS485 interface, however only one of the two can be used at a time. Serial communication allows to read out conversion results and to set parameters and variables by PC, according to need.

5. DIL Switch Settings

There is one 8-position switch located on the top side (DIL1), and another 8-position switch is located on the bottom side of the unit (DIL2). These switches provide major settings of the desired properties of the unit.



Changes of switch settings will become active only after cycling the power supply of the unit!



Positions 7 and 8 of switch DIL2 are for internal factory use only and must both be set to OFF at any time during normal operation

5.1. Basic mode of operation

Positions 2, 3 and 4 of switch DIL1 on the top side allow setting the following operation modes:

5.2. Impulse levels and symmetric / asymmetric input formats

Positions 5 and 7 of DIL1 together with positions 3 to 6 of DIL2 allow setting of all imaginable combinations of levels and formats.



All subsequent tables use the following definitions:

„0“ = switch OFF, „1“ = switch ON and

„x“ = position not important



Switch settings refer to impulse inputs A / B only, but the

Control Input (terminal 10) provides always HTL / PNP format, i.e. you must apply a positive voltage 10 – 30 volts to activate the function



Where you use 2-wire sensors with NAMUR characteristics, connect the positive pole of the sensor to the corresponding input terminal, and the negative pole to GND



Where subsequently you read (A) or (B), this indicates that the inputs expect asymmetric signals and you will not need the corresponding inverted signals



Where however you read (A and /A) or (B and /B), this indicates that the inputs expect symmetric differential signals according to RS422 standard, i.e. it is mandatory to apply also the inverted signals

5.2.1. Standard settings

If you just use encoders or sensors according to common industrial standards, and if also all input signals should have the same level, you just can use one of the following three standard settings and do not need to consider all further alternatives of switch settings.

5.3. Analog output format

The desired output format of the Analog output can be set by positions 1 and 2 of switch DIL2.

With this setting the format depends on the parameter „Analog

Mode“ which can be set by PC. Since the factory default setting of parameter “Analog Mode” is “1”, the format will be a 0 …

+10 V output under default conditions.


5.4. Selecting the RS232 or the RS485 serial interface

Position 1 of switch DIL1 selects between the RS232 interface and the RS485 interface. All

connection details have already been explained in section 4.5

.

DIL1 / 1 Serial Interface

0

RS232 interface is active (RS485 is switched off)

1

RS485 interface is active (RS232 is switched off)

5.5. Teach function, Test function, loading of default settings

Positions 6 and 8 of switch DIL1 allow to set the following functions:

DIL1 Function

6 8

x 0

Unit returns to the factory default parameters after power-down

x 1

Unit always keeps the parameters according to customer setting

0 x

Push button and yellow LED operate in TEACH mode (see chapter 7 )

1 x

Push button and yellow LED operate in TEST mode, Teach is disabled (see chapter 7 )

After successful commissioning, please make sure to set positions

6 and 8 to “ON”. Otherwise, cycling of the power supply or touching the push button inadvertently would result in overwriting your parameter settings.


6. Commissioning

With all basic applications, you can use the Teach feature for commissioning of the unit.

Extended functions need a PC for setup and are described under section 7.

As a first step it is advisable to check the input frequencies by means of the LED marked

“Status”. DIL switch 6 must be set to ON for this test.

When you press the TEACH button one time, the yellow LED will be lit when the unit detects a frequency on input A. The LED will be OFF when no input frequency can be detected.

When you press the TEACH button once more, you can also check input B (if applicable). With all operation modes using two independent frequencies, again the yellow LED will be lit when a frequency has been detected on input B.

With operation modes using input B to define the direction and polarity (quadrature or static), the yellow LED will indicate that the actual input signals provide positive output (LED on) or negative output (LED off). Where you like to get the other polarity, you must change the information of direction on A/B inputs



The TEACH function can only be used when the DIL switches are set for operations with one input frequency only (i.e. A only, B only, quadrature A/B or A = impulse and B = direction).



You must switch over to combined operations A + B, A - B, A x B or A : B only after you have successfully run the Teach function for both channels. Parameter „Teach-Mode“ will determine if or if not an automatic re-scaling will apply after switch-over.


6.1. Conversion of one only frequency

(single channel or dual channel with direction signal)

Make sure that the DIL switches are set according to the encoder you use, and that position 6 of switch DIL1 is OFF (Teach function active).

 Self-test: Upon power up, both front LED’s must be lit first, and the yellow status LED must switch off after the self-test has been concluded successfully (approx.1 s).

 Scaling of the Analog output with use of the Teach function:

Press the Teach button one time. The status LED will blink in a slow sequence while the unit waits for setting of the minimum frequency. Please make your encoder now generate the frequency where you expect your Analog output to be zero (in general this will be 0 Hz at standstill)

 Press the Teach button again. This stores your minimum frequency definition, the LED will blink in a fast sequence and the unit waits for setting of the maximum frequency. Please move your encoder now at a speed where you expect full scale Analog output.

 Press the teach button once more. This stores your maximum frequency definition and the

LED will switch off. After this Teach procedure, your Analog output is set to a 0 – 10 volts range between the minimum and the maximum input frequency.

6.2. Conversion and combination of two independent frequencies (A + B, A - B, A x B, A : B)

In principle, the Teach procedure is the same as described under 6.1. However, we must first teach every of the two channels A and B separately.

 Set the DIL switch to “Channel A only” (see

5.1

) and teach the minimum and the maximum

frequency for channel A like shown before.

 Now set the DIL switch to “Channel B only” and run the teach procedure for minimum and maximum frequency of channel B.

 Finally, set the DIL switch according to the combination of the frequencies that you desire.

The unit is able to automatically re-scale the output swing in a way that you receive full scale output when the result of the A/B calculation reaches the maximum

(see parameter “Teach Mode”).

Please observe that minimum and maximum frequency settings for inputs A and B must never be “0” when you intend to use the ratio function A : B !


7. PC Setup via Operator Software OS3.x

You can apply the full set of functions when you use a PC and our operator software OS3.x for setup of the unit (at this time the actual version is OS3.2).

You can download this software and full instructions, free of charge, from our homepage www.motrona.com

Connect your PC to the converter, using a serial RS232 cable like shown in section 4.5

of this

manual. Make sure, the cable only uses pins 2, 3 and 5. Pins 2 and 3 must be crossed.

Run the OS3.x software and you will see the following screen:

In case your text and color fields remain empty and the headline says „OFFLINE“, you must verify your DIL switch setting and the serial settings of the unit. To access serial settings, please select „COMMS“ from the menu bar.


Ex-factory, all motrona units use the following serial default settings:

Unit No. 11, Baud rate 9600, 1 start/ 7 data/ parity even/ 1 stop bit

If the serial settings of your unit should be unknown, you can run the „SCAN“ Function from the „TOOLS“ menu to find out.

On the left side of your screen you find the Edit window with all parameters.

Under „INPUTS“ you find some soft keys allowing to switch ON or OFF of the Control commands. Indicator boxes in the RS column signal if the corresponding command is set by serial communication. Indicator boxes in the PI/O column indicate if the same command is set by hardware input.

Under OUTPUTS you can get information about the state of the unit. The indicator boxes

„Status A“ and „Status B“ especially serve to check the input frequencies:



Status A will be lit while a frequency is detected on input A

(except with operating mode „B single“)



Status B will be lit while a frequency is detected on input B

(except with operating modes „A single“, „A/B_dir“ and „A/B_90“)

The color bar in the “Output Value” field indicates the actual percentage of the output signal in a range of +/- 100 %.

The Control keys allow Read-out, Transmission and saving of parameter settings.



For enduring memorization of parameters entered by keypad, you should press the ENTER key every time you have completed one line.



Optionally you can also use the soft keys „Transmit“ or „Transmit All“ for temporary storage of your last setting or all previous settings (storage until next power-down), and finally use the „Store EEProm“ key when you like to have an enduring storage of all settings transmitted before.

This conversion affects the numeric value for serial read out from register (:8) only, but not the scaling of the Analog output.

With settings Multiplier = 1,0000

Divisor = 1,0000

Offset = 00000 the readout from register < :8 > equals to the percental result

(xxx.xxx%) where 100,000% has been defined by the TEACH minimum and TEACH maximum settings

Divisor

When you set “Divisor” to 0, this will completely skip all calculations.

This step is advisable when you need very fast response with the shortest conversion time possible.

This parameter allows inversion of the polarity of the Analog output.

(Important only with operating modes A/B (2x90



) or A = Impulse and B

= direction.

0 = no inversion

1 = output inverted

(calculations from A and B)

00 = Filter off (immediate response to changes of the input signal)

01 = Filter with time constant 1,563 ms

02 = Filter with time constant 3,125 ms

03 = Filter with time constant 6,250 ms etc.

12 = Filter with time constant 3200 ms (slow response)

Please note:

These time constants are valid for sampling time settings of 1 ms. and higher sampling times will correspondingly increase the time constant

0 = Linearisation OFF, parameters P1 to P16 are irrelevant.

1 = Linearisation in a range from 0% to 100 %

2 = Linearisation over full range –100% to +100%

Input B will be overwritten by this simulated frequency value, if the control input is active and the “Reset B” function has been assigned to the control input.

These two couples of settings define your minimum and maximum input frequency for input A and input B (if applicable), where your Analog output moves between 0 V and 10 V.

This is how you can enter your minimum and maximum settings:



either by operating the Teach pushbutton, like described already in

section 6.1



or by entering the frequency settings directly by keyboard to the parameter field of your screen, without using the TEACH function


Parameter

Teach Mode

Description

This parameter is only important when your application provides a combination of the two inputs (e.g. A + B). The setting determines how to scale the total result of the selected A/B calculation

Teach Mode = 0: The unit will automatically calculate a new “full scale” output, resulting from the expected maximum values that can come up with the combined result from A and B *)

Teach Mode = 1: The total result will use the same scaling as applied to

input channel A *)

Teach Mode = 2: Before calculating the combination result, the channel B frequency will be pre-scaled using the conversion parameters „Multiplier“ and „Divisor“ , so that a direct compare between two frequencies of different scaling can take place.

Analog Mode:

Analog Offset: Parameter to shift the zero position of the Analog output over the full range of +/- 9999 mV resp. +/-19,998 mA (if applicable). Normal setting is 0.

Analog Gain: Allows setting the maximum swing of the Analog output.

Setting 1000 results in a full scale signal of 10 volts or 20 mA, setting 500 will reduce the signal to 5 volts etc.

*) Example: Provided you have set both inputs A and B to a range of 0 … 10 kHz for a 0 … 10 volts output, and after this you switch over to the sum mode A + B:

Teach Mode = 0 would allow to apply the full frequency range of 10 kHz to each of the inputs at the same time, because the automatic re-scaling function has set a full range scale of 20 kHz for the expected maximum of the sum A + B.

Teach Mode = 1 would reach the full-scale output already with a sum of A + B = 10 kHz, because only the 10 kHz / 10 volts scaling of input A will apply

Parameter

Serial Timer:

Serial Value:

Description

This register determines the cycle time in seconds for cyclic transmission when the Printer Mode is switched on.

Range 0.001 to 99.999 seconds.

With setting “0” all cyclic transmission is switched off and the unit will only send data upon request (PC mode *)

Sets the code of the register of which the content should be sent with cyclic transmission.

Setting range 00 – 09 (corresponds to register codes :0 to :9) and 10 - 19 (corresponds to register codes ;0 to ;9)

For clarification of register codes see sections 10

and 11 .

Input Setting:

Input Configuration:

Input Function:

*) The serial port of the unit can operate in either “PC-Mode“ or in

“Printer Mode“.

With “PC-Mode“, the unit receives a request string and responds with a corresponding data string. For details of the protocol see separate description

“SERPRO“.

With “Printer Mode“ the unit sends data without any request and under Timer control as described subsequently.

As soon as the unit receives a character, it automatically switches over to PC

Mode and operates according to protocol. When for a period of 20 s no character has been received, the unit switches automatically back to

“Printer Mode“ and starts cyclic data transmission again.

Sets the switching characteristics of the „Control“ input (terminal 10):

0 = function „active HIGH“, 1 = function „active LOW“

Selects the function of the “Control” input (terminal 10):

0 = no control function

1 = Replaces the frequency applied to input A by a fixed frequency value as set under parameter „Reset Value A“

2 = Replaces the frequency applied to input B by a fixed frequency value as set under parameter „Reset Value B“

3 = Replaces the result of the combination A / B by a fixed value as set under parameter „Reset Value A/B“

4 = Freezes the actual frequency value of input A

5 = Freezes the actual frequency value of input B

6 Freezes both frequencies A and B

7 = Starts a serial transmission of the defined register value

9. Free Programmable Linearization

This programmable feature allows the user to convert a linear input signal to a non- linear

Analog output. There are 16 programmable x/y coordinates available, which can be set in any desired distance over the full conversion range. Between two coordinates, the unit uses linear interpolation. Therefore it is advisable to use more coordinates in a range with strong curves and only a few coordinates where the curvature is less.

To specify your desired linearization curve, you must first set the „Linearisation Mode“ register to either 1 or 2.

Use registers P1(x) to P16(x) to specify the coordinates on the x-axis. These are the Analog output values that the unit normally would generate according to the actual input frequency.

These settings must be in % of full scale.

Now enter the attached values to registers P1(y) to P16(y). These are the values that the Analog output will generate instead of the x- values, i.e. P2(y) will substitute P2(x) etc.



x-registers must use continuously increasing settings, i.e. P1(x) must have the lowest and P16(x) must have the highest setting



All entries use a percental format of xx.xxx% full scale.

Setting 000.000% means zero output and setting 100.000% means full scale output.



With Linearisation Mode set to 1, it is a must to set P1(x) to 0% and

P16(x) to 100%. Linearisation is defined in the positive range only and the negative range will be a mirror image of the positive range with reference to zero.



With Linearisation Mode set to 2, it is a must to set P1(x) to –100% and P16(x) to +100%. This enables the user to set curves which are not symmetric to the zero position. y y

P1(x)= -100%

P1(y)= 95%

*) Output mode = 0

P8(x)= 0%

P8(y)= 80%

P16(x)=+100%

P16(y)= -60%

Linearisation Mode = 1 Linearisation Mode = 2


You can visualize your curve on the PC screen or by means of an external oscilloscope.

For this, select TOOLS, then TEST and there „Analog Voltage Function“. The unit will now simulate a repeating frequency course over the full range and generate the Analog signal accordingly. When you use the Scope function of the operator software, you must set the serial code to „:1” to record the Analog output.


10. Monitor Functions

The monitor function of the OS3.2 PC software allows to display some important data on the PC screen with a continuous refresh cycle.

Select „Monitor“ from the „Tools“ menu to open the basic view of the monitor window. Click to

“Define” to open the definition window. You will find a list with all accessible parameters and actual values, where however the texts may be unfounded.

With FU252, only the following register codes make sense:

C1 C2 Description

: 8 Actual conversion result in % of full-scale, format xxx.xxx % *)

: 9 Actual frequency on input A in Hz, resolution 0.1 Hz, format xxx xxx.x Hz

; 1 Actual frequency on input B in Hz, resolution 0.1 Hz, format xxx xxx.x Hz

; 3 Actual output voltage of the Analog output, scaling 0 … 10 000 millivolts

*) In accordance to the applied conversion scaling see chapter 8 .


Click to the Status field, next to the desired register code (where you read ON or OFF). Now you can toggle this position between ON and OFF by touching any key.

Set all of the register codes to ON which you afterwards would like to trace on the monitor.

Switch all unused register codes to OFF.

To change the text shown with the register code, click to the corresponding text field. The same text will now appear in the “Text Editor” window below the parameter window. Rename the text according to your desire and press ENTER to store the new text in the corresponding monitor line.

When all desired codes have been set to ON and the texts have been renamed according to need, click OK. Where, besides the display data on the screen, you also like to record all data to a file on your hard disc, click first to „Store to File“ and set the corresponding check box.

After starting the monitor, you will see the following window where all values are updated continuously:


11. Data Readout via Serial Interface

All register codes from section 10 are also available for serial readout by PC or PLC. For

communication the FU252 converter uses the Drivecom Protocol according to ISO 1745. All protocol details can be found in our manual SERPRO_2a.doc which is available for download from our homepage www.motrona.com

To request for a data transmission you must send the following request string to the converter:

EOT AD1 AD2 C1 C2 ENQ

EOT = control character (Hex 04)

AD1 = unit address, High Byte

AD2 = unit address, Low Byte

C1 = register code, High Byte

C2 = register code, Low Byte

ENQ = control character (Hex 05)

The following example shows the request string for readout of the actual frequency of input A

(code :9) from a unit with unit address 11:

After a correct request, the unit will respond:

STX C1 C2 x x x x x x x ETX BCC

STX = control character (Hex 02)

C1 = register code, High Byte

C2 = register code, Low Byte xxxxx = readout data

ETX = control character (Hex 03)

BCC = block check character
