Lexium MDrive Absolute Encoder setup notes

Setup Procedure

an internal backup source powers the absolute position counter, keeping the counter circuitry active for 30 days in the absence of DC power.

When unboxing the product, consider the internal storage to be in a discharged state. To charge.

1. Connect DC power in accordance with the product manual.
2. Allow the unit to charge for 24-hours. During this time programming and commissioning the unit may be performed.
3. The internal storage level may be queried via the communications or network interface.
4. Consider the application. Will the machine in which the LMD product is going into be unpowered, with the requirement for position updates and retention, for more than 30 days?

If so the Encoder Backup Battery Pack ICP0531 is recommended.This accessory will extend the data retention and update time to five (5) years on up to six (6) Lexium MDrive absolute encoder products.

Note: If error 121, 122, or 123 occur during commissioning process, refer to FAQ or Lexium MCode programming and reference manual for additional information.
