A-B 1746-QS Synchronized Axes Control Module Output Polarity

Output Polarity

In most hydraulic systems, the actuator extends (with increasing

LDT counts) when a positive voltage is sent to the output. The

extend direction is defined as the direction that causes the LDT to

return increasing counts moving away from the head.

You can make these selections in the Config word that affect output:

• To generate a positive drive output (0-10V dc) regardless of move

direction, you can select Absolute Mode.

• To extend the actuator by sending a negative voltage to the

output, you can select Reverse Drive Mode.

For additional information on the Configuration word, select that

subject in Help Topics.

Checking Out the Wiring and Grounding

Repeat this procedure to check out each of the four axis loops

connected to the IFM terminal block.

ATTENTION: Be sure to remove all power to the SLC processor,

LDT, valve and pump beforehand.

1. Disconnect the LDT connector at the head end.

2. Disconnect the connector to the IFM terminal block.

3. Turn ON the power supplies for the LDT and SLC processor, and

check the LDT connector and IFM terminal block for:

• +15V dc

• PS common

• –15V dc

4. Observe that the module’s fault LED indicates Green.

5. Verify continuity between IFM COM terminal (50) and each of:

• shield of the amplifier output cable to the valve

• output common on
