2-16 Ultra1500 Connector Data
Thermostat
Input
The Ultra1500 can monitor a thermostat or thermistor signal from a motor 
and generates a fault if the motor overheats. Figure 2.13 shows the 
configuration of this drive input. Figure 2.14 on page 2-16 shows a typical 
connection to a motor with a normally closed thermostat. The logic is 
designed so that an open or high-impedance condition will generate a fault. If 
the motor does not have this signal, the drive can be configured through 
Ultraware software to ignore the input.

Encoder Phasing
For proper motor commutation and control, it is important that the motor 
feedback signals are phased properly. The drive has been designed so that a 
positive current applied to a motor will produce a positive velocity and 
increasing position readings, as interpreted by the drive. Additionally, if Hall 
signals are used to initialize the commutation angle, the Hall signals must 
sequence properly and the phase relationship to the motor back-EMF signals 
must be understood. Figure 2.15 shows the proper sequencing of the Hall 
signals when positive current is applied to the motor. If the Hall signals are out 
of phase with the back-EMF signals, the drive can be configured through 
software to compensate for the phase offset, as long as the sequencing of the 
Hall signals is correct. Figure 2.16 shows an example where the Hall signals 
have an offset of 60 degrees.
