4.9. Feedback and Analog Input
The Gold Solo Hornet has two configurable motion sensor input ports and one output port:
Port A and port B are input ports, port C is the feedback output port. Motion sensors from the
controlled motor and from other sources can be connected to any of the available inputs on
either port A or B. Software configuration designates each input a role, e.g., the incremental
encoder on port B is the controlled motor position feedback, the Hall sensors on port A are
commutation feedback, and the incremental encoder on port A is follower input.
For more information about sensors and their use refer to the Gold Line Software Manual.
4.9.1. Feedback Port A (J2)
Port A supports the following sensor inputs:
• Digital Hall sensors
• Incremental encoder or absolute serial encoder, depending on the specific model
Differential pulse-width modulation (PWM) signal input can be connected to port A in the
models that support input from an incremental encoder. The PWM signal can be connected to
the applicable pair of matching + and – encoder channels and is configurable by software.
Differential Pulse & Direction signal inputs can be connected to port A in the models that
support input from an incremental encoder. The signals can be connected to the applicable pair
of matching + and – encoder channels and are configurable by software.
A cable kit containing a cable that connects to port A is available, see Section 2.2.19.
