Motor Temperature
Sensor Input
The resolver connector has two terminals through which the APEX615n can monitor motor
temperature. The terminals, labeled
MT+
and
MT–
, should be connected to the two leads of a
normally-closed temperature sensor mounted on the motor. When the motor is within its
temperature limits, the sensor will be closed, thus shorting together
MT+
and
MT–
. If the
motor overheats, the sensor will open. Circuit continuity will be broken, which triggers
protection circuitry in the APEX615n. It will shut down its power output, and illuminate the
red LED labeled
Motor Fault
.
For APEX Series motors, connect the yellow wire in the resolver cable to
MT+
. Connect the
orange wire to
MT–
. For SM Series motors, both wires are yellow; connect one to
MT+
and the
other to
MT-
.
For other motors with normally-closed temperature sensors, connect the sensor's two wires to
MT+
and
MT–
.
N O T E
If your motor has no temperature sensor, use a wire to short together
MT+
and
MT–
on the
resolver connector. The drive will not operate unless these two terminals are shorted together.
