HIPERFACE interface for installation in ACOPOS servo drives

Encoder monitoring

ACOPOS plug-in module, HIPERFACE interface

Specifications

General information

Power consumption – With encoder current consumption of 0 mA	0.35 W
Power consumption – With encoder current consumption of 100 mA	1.4 W
Power consumption – With encoder current consumption of 170 mA	2.1 W
Certifications – CE	Yes
Certifications – UKCA	Yes
Certifications – CRA (Cyber Resilience Act)	Non-compliant
Certifications – UL	cULus E225616; Power conversion equipment
Certifications – KC	Yes
Module type	ACOPOS plug-in module
B&R ID code	0x1558
Slot	Slots 2, 3 and 4 (note: The AC121 is an encoder module. It is also possible to connect multiple encoder modules. In this case, the module in the smallest slot automatically serves as motor feedback.)

Encoder inputs

Electrical isolation – Encoder - ACOPOS	No
Encoder power supply – Output voltage	8 to 9 V
Encoder power supply – Load capacity	170 mA
Encoder power supply – Sense lines	- (note: No sense lines are present since the supply voltage for the HIPERFACE encoder is permitted to be between 7 and 12 V.)
Sine/Cosine inputs – Signal transmission	Differential signal, asymmetrical
Sine/Cosine inputs – Signal frequency	DC up to 200 kHz
Sine/Cosine inputs – Differential voltage	0.5 to 1.25 V ss
Sine/Cosine inputs – Common-mode voltage	Max. ±7 V
Sine/Cosine inputs – Terminating resistor	120 Ω
Sine/Cosine inputs – Resolution	16384 * Number of encoder lines (note: Noise on the encoder signal reduces the resolution that can be used by approx. 5 bits (factor of 32).)
Sine/Cosine inputs – Accuracy	- (note: In practice, the accuracy is limited by the encoder.)
Serial interface – Signal transmission	Asynchronous
Serial interface – Protocol	RS485
Serial interface – Baud rate	9600 baud
Quantity	1
Module-side connection	15-pin female DSUB, 2 pins closed
Status indicators	UP/DN LEDs
Encoder monitoring	Yes
Max. encoder cable length	50 m (note: Requirement: Wiring of the encoder takes place with a shielded cable with a wire cross section of min. 0.14 mm² for all signal lines and a wire cross section of min. 0.5 mm² for all encoder power supply lines. The sense lines must be used.)

Ambient conditions

Temperature – Nominal	5 to 40°C
Temperature – Maximum	55°C
Temperature – Storage	-25 to 55°C
Temperature – Transport	-25 to 70°C
Relative humidity – Operation	5 to 85%
Relative humidity – Storage	5 to 95%
Relative humidity – Transport	Max. 95% at 40°C
