- Compact plug‑in form factor for sub‑rack installation inside Unitrol excitation or large‑drive cabinets.
- Receives multi‑bit parallel position signal from shaft encoder, transfers decoded position data to host controller via internal bus.
- Continuous self‑diagnosis for input signal loss and hardware fault, fault status available via controller diagnostics.
- Critical for excitation system rotor‑position dependent functions such as field‑current commutation and synchronisation logic.
- Terminal‑block wiring for encoder field connection, easy maintenance and commissioning.
- Manufactured in Sweden/Germany; EOL obsolete, only NOS or fully‑tested refurbished spare‑parts available.
Main Functions
- Receive parallel gray‑code signals from shaft‑mounted gray‑code encoder, decode to real‑time rotor angle / position digital values.
- Transmit decoded shaft‑position data to AC800PEC (PPD113Bxx) excitation controller for excitation commutation and synchronisation control.
- Signal conditioning and galvanic isolation for encoder input signals, suppress cabinet‑borne EMI interference.
- Detect encoder signal loss / hardware fault and report diagnostic alarms to host controller.
- Provide accurate rotor‑position feedback essential for proper operation of synchronous‑generator static‑excitation control.
- Cooperate with shaft encoder, excitation controller and thyristor power stack to complete generator excitation closed‑loop regulation.
- Serve as gray‑code position‑feedback interface unit inside ABB Unitrol excitation cabinet.
