first 150 electrical angle and than lock, and an other 250?

[@MitchellElectronicsInc]

Please watch the video at 0:30. The two lockup angles should be 60 electrical degrees apart. They are shown as 150E and 210E.

"We adjust the encoder until the angle is correct for the given motor" How do you know "the correct" angle for this motor?

[@MitchellElectronicsInc]

We have a large database of motors and their alignment angles. Our customers can contact us anytime for information.

Would it work with Rockwell's MPL series?

[@MitchellElectronicsInc]

The TI-3000 can run all the common Allen Bradley MPL motors which are seen with Rockwell drives. The TI-5000EX can test the common types of encoders found on the MPL series. The TI-5000EX can also be used to read the memory (including alignment angle) as well as program a new alignment angle, or change the values of the encoder memory to allow it to be used on a different motor part number in the MPL series.

Thanks for the video. I missed something. You have applied + voltage to the U phase and - voltage to the V phase to lock the rotor in its zero position? How many volts have you applied? Sorry if this is a stupid question. I'm just trying to understand things. Thanks

[@MitchellElectronicsInc]

The power supply that we sell with our lockup box actually allows adjustment of a constant current. We typically recommend half the rated max current of the motor to avoid damaging the windings. See this video for more information please. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKPcfmqXiLGYmJI

@@MitchellElectronicsInc Thanks.

is it possible to align an encoder of a generic brand? (not contained in mitchell software?)

[@MitchellElectronicsInc]

Hi Janderro, Thanks for watching our video. Yes you can align generic types of encoders without any additional software. The most basic TI-5000EX system has capability to align any incremental quadrature ABZ encoder as well as encoders with commutation tracks. These standard formats are used on hundreds of motor brands and models.
