3. Matching principle between motor and driver
Power matching: The output capacity of the driver needs to cover the rated power of the motor (such as a 300W motor matched with HR03 series driver).
Voltage matching: 100V motor (R series DS model) matches HR □□ BAB11 driver, 200V motor matches HR □□ BAB12/BB driver.
Encoder matching: The absolute encoder motor requires the driver to support battery backup (the HR series panel comes with a 3.6V battery).

Connection and wiring
1. Typical connection circuit
Main circuit connection: three-phase/single-phase power supply → circuit breaker (MCCB) → noise filter → servo driver (R/S/T) → motor (U/V/W).
Control circuit connection:
I/O signals: 2CN (servo enable SVON, start AST), 5CN (manual operation MCW/MCCW);
Encoder: 3CN (A/B/C phase signals,+5V power supply);
Serial communication: 4CN (TXD/RXD, RS422 protocol).
2. Definition of Key Terminals (Taking 2CN as an Example)
Terminal number, signal name, type, and function
8 SVON input servo enable, main circuit transistor unlocked when ON, motor powered on
Automatic operation/zeroing start with 16 AST inputs, valid rising edge, must be maintained for ≥ 5ms
15 STOP input temporarily stops, when ON, the motor decelerates and stops according to the parameter settings
11 ALM output fault alarm, transistor cutoff during fault (normally ON)
12 BK output brake release, when servo ON, ON, release motor brake
3. Wiring specifications
Cable selection:
Main circuit: 1.25-8mm ² copper core wire (e.g. 8mm ² for HR60BB);
Signal circuit: 0.2mm ² shielded twisted pair (DP8409123 and other dedicated wires are used for encoder lines).
Grounding requirements:
Driver FG terminal → grounding electrode (Class 3 grounding, resistance ≤ 100 Ω);
Motor frame ground → driver FG terminal to avoid common ground interference.
Noise control:
Install a noise filter on the power side (such as HR03BAB with LF-205A);
The distance between power lines and signal lines should be ≥ 30cm, and wiring in the same conduit is prohibited.

Functional operations (I/O, communication, parameters)
1. I/O signal operation
Input signal timing: SVON, AST and other signals need to maintain a stable level of ≥ 5ms to avoid false triggering;
Output signal status:
POS1 (positioning completed): ON when the deviation between the current position and the target position is ≤ P6 (positioning completed width, 1-250 units);
NEAR (positioning proximity): ON when the deviation is ≤ P45 (positioning proximity width, 0-3000 units).
2. Serial communication (RS422)
Communication specifications:
Baud rate: 9600/4800/2400/1200Baud (default 9600);
Data format: 1 start bit+7 data bits+1 even check bit+1 stop bit.
Core command:
SVON: Servo Enable;
MOV ± nnnnnn: Absolute positioning (± 8-bit position data);
ZRN: Start back to zero;
PRMpp=± nnnnnnnn: Set parameters (pp=parameter number).
Multi axis control: Supports 16 axes and specifies the control object through axis addresses (1-16).
3. Parameter Setting (Example of Core Parameters)
Parameter Number, Parameter Name, Unit Range, Function Description
P1 position loop gain Kp s ⁻¹ 0-200 adjusts position control response speed, the larger the value, the faster the response (prone to oscillation)
P2 speed loop gain Kv × 2.5Hz 1-200 adjustment speed control response speed, matching system rigidity
P4 1st feed rate x 1000 units/minute 1-240000 reference speed in automatic/manual mode
When the deviation of the width unit 1-250 after P6 positioning is ≤ this value, the POS1 signal is ON
P7 motor selection -0-79 matching motor model (e.g. 32=USAREM-A5CS)
P8 encoder pulse P/R (× 4) 4096-32768 encoder pulse per revolution (absolute 8192P/R set to 32768)
Display/Monitoring and Maintenance
1. Display function
LED indicator light:
MAIN (red): residual voltage in the main circuit (slowly extinguishes after power failure);
RUN (green): Control power supply is normal (+5V normal);
ALM (red): Fault alarm (check the 7-segment digital tube code when it lights up).
7-segment digital tube:
Normal state: Display current position (PUN) and speed (NFB);
Fault status: Display code (such as OC=overcurrent, OL=overload, BAT=low battery).
2. Trial operation process
Preparation stage:
Check the wiring (main circuit/control circuit is not loose) and parameters (P7/P8/P9 matching motor and encoder);
Absolute encoder reset: Short circuit the specific pin of the encoder and release it after powering on for ≥ 2 minutes.
Test operation:
Servo Enable: Send SVON command, confirm that RUN light is on and ALM light is off;
Jogging test: Send JOG+1000 command (1000 units/minute) to confirm that the motor rotates smoothly;
Positioning test: Send MOV+10000 command and confirm that POS1 signal is ON after positioning is completed.
3. Maintenance and troubleshooting
Battery replacement: Replace the absolute encoder battery (3.6V) when the voltage is ≤ 3.3V, and replace it after power failure (to avoid data loss).
Common troubleshooting:
|Alarm code | Fault cause | Handling measures|
|OC (overcurrent) | Main circuit overcurrent (≥ 1.2 times peak current) | Check if the motor wiring and load are stuck|
|OL (overload) | Motor overload (exceeding allowable load inertia) | Reduce load inertia and acceleration rate|
|PG (Encoder Disconnected) | Encoder Cable Loose/Disconnected | Check 3CN Wiring and Encoder for Damage|
|BAT (low battery) | Absolute encoder battery voltage low | Replace 3.6V lithium battery (such as CR2450)|
