Information

Information

Overview Manuals Common Applications Product Precautions
ABB FEN-31 is an HTL encoder interface installed between a compatible ABB drive control board and an HTL encoder.
  • A, B and Z HTL encoder inputs, up to 300 kHz
  • Encoder supply: +15 V DC or +24 V DC, plus or minus 20%, 200 mA
  • Isolated A, B and Z encoder-emulation output over RS-422/485, up to 500 kHz
  • Two short-circuit-proof 24 V digital latch inputs

It receives speed, direction, position and reference-mark pulses, supplies this feedback to the drive, and can reproduce isolated encoder signals for compatible downstream equipment in closed-loop drive-controlled machinery.

Important Notice: ABB directly verifies current loose-item code 68978955; requested code 68978840 must be confirmed from the physical ABB nameplate or a direct ABB spare-parts record before it is treated as an exact legacy code.

Important Notice: The first link is the product-parameters PDF prepared only from the cited manufacturer information; the second link is the Apter Power product manual. Confirm the physical nameplate, current manufacturer documents, and host-system requirements before installation or replacement.

Closed-loop speed feedback
Supplies A and B pulse feedback to a compatible ABB drive for closed-loop speed control.
Position and reference feedback
Uses A, B and Z channels for position, direction and reference-mark information.
Encoder-based process control
Supports drive-controlled machinery whose configured control functions depend on HTL encoder feedback.
Isolated signal replication
Provides an isolated A, B and Z TTL encoder-emulation output to compatible downstream equipment.
Follow the applicable ABB drive and FEN-31 instructions, and confirm host-drive compatibility before installation or commissioning.
1
Installation and maintenance are for qualified electricians only.
2
Isolate every power source, prevent reconnection, wait five minutes and verify that the drive is discharged before work.
3
Earth the drive and module correctly because the grounding screw is important for EMC performance.
4
Use shielded instrumentation cable, preferably twisted pairs, and separate encoder wiring from motor and power cables.
5
Connect a supported motor-temperature sensor only when it has double or reinforced insulation from live motor parts.

Technical notes

Technical notes

Do not claim that 68978840 is the current ABB order code; the directly verified current code is 68978955. Confirm compatibility in the exact host drive's ordering information or hardware manual before installation. Maximum cable length depends on the encoder output circuit: 300 m differential push-pull, 200 m single-ended push-pull, and 100 m open-collector or open-emitter. The documented speed range is -32768 to +32767 rpm with 0.04 rpm resolution; position resolution is 24-bit. Installation and service are restricted to qualified electricians. Isolate all power sources, wait the required five minutes, verify discharge and follow ABB grounding, shielding and temperature-sensor isolation instructions. No single country of origin, product weight or customs tariff code is stated in the cited direct ABB sources.

FAQS

  • What is ABB FEN-31?
    It is an HTL encoder interface that connects a compatible ABB drive control board to an HTL encoder for speed and position feedback.
  • Is 68978840 the current ABB order code for FEN-31?
    No direct ABB source reviewed verifies 68978840 as the current code. ABB's current product page and ACS880 catalogue identify 68978955 as the loose-item code, so 68978840 requires nameplate or direct ABB spare-parts confirmation.
  • Which encoder output circuits does FEN-31 support?
    ABB lists differential push-pull, single-ended push-pull, open-collector and open-emitter HTL encoders.
  • What is the maximum encoder input frequency?
    The maximum A/B/Z encoder input frequency is 300 kHz.
  • How can the encoder be powered?
    The module offers +15 V DC or +24 V DC internal supplies rated 200 mA, and ABB also permits an external 10 to 24 V DC encoder supply.
  • What does the encoder-emulation output provide?
    It provides galvanically isolated A/B/Z TTL encoder-emulation signals over RS-422/485, up to 500 kHz, with 1 to 65535 programmable pulses per revolution.
  • Does FEN-31 have digital inputs?
    Yes. It has two short-circuit-proof 24 V digital latch inputs; ABB specifies below 5 V as logic 0 and above 15 V as logic 1.
  • Can a motor-temperature sensor be connected?
    A supported PTC, Pt1000 or KTY-84 sensor can be connected only under ABB's stated insulation conditions. The sensor must have double or reinforced insulation because the module does not provide safe isolation from the drive.
  • What cable routing does ABB require?
    ABB instructs users to use shielded instrumentation cable, preferably twisted pairs, and to keep encoder cables separate from motor and power cables.那个
