3.4 The connection of ALM 、SPEED and PLC
The internal structure of ALM and SPEED ports is following as below, the connection with PLC depends on the input terminal
type. For example, the PLC input module AX40/741/42/50/60 and QX40/41/42 of Mitsubishi only support Sourcing Input, users
should connect according to the characteristics of this input type.

3.5 Speed port description
This port feeds motor rotate speed and outputs in form of frequency, 1000rpm=1000Hz, 500rpm=500Hz; Notice that the precision
of feedback depends on correct poles setting ：
1) Closed loop mode : accurate feedback;
2) Open loop mode : 4 poles motor rotate speed feedback in default which is underlying setting and cannot be modified by
customer.
4. Current limit adjustment P-sv
The current limit adjustment knob P-sv can limit the peak value of motor phase current, thereby limiting the calorific value of
wingding and protecting the motor.
Customers can use the current limit value between scale 3 and scale 10, when adjusting it to the maximum 10, the phase line limit
current is 13A.
Notice: If P-sv is adjusted to 0, the motor will not rotate, and if there is a speed adjustment value at this time, it will alarm
and be locked-rotor.
5. Speed setting via external signal
When switching to external analog control mode, the built-in potentiometer RV must be closed.(RV knob is rotated anticlockwise
to the limit position)
When multiple speed setting signal exist at the same time, the signal priority is as below :
Frequency > PWM > Internal Potentiometer > SV
Below pictures are linearity test curve of external signal speed setting :
（1KHz）duty ratio value range：2% ~ 95% ；(50%duty ratio) frequency speed setting：X Hz = X rpm

6. Status indicator and trouble shooting
6.1 Status indicator
When appearing locked-rotor, Hall fault, over-temperature and over voltage, driver will give an alarm signal and stop working.
6.2 Trouble shooting
When any of abnormal indicator in above table occurs, a reset command should be issued to driver to clear the alarm signal
off. If the alarm signal still exists, then proceed as below table.
*The reset command refers to one of the following commands :
Adjust all speed setting signals to 0, including built-in potentiometer, external analog signal, PWM and pulse frequency；
BRK connects to GND again；
Power-on again；

6.3 Alarm signal output
If any of alarm in 6.2 table happens, ALM terminal would output low level; if driver is normal, ALM would output high level.

Acceleration and deceleration time refers to the time required for the motor from 0 to the set speed. (Notice : the motor rotate
speed is not actual value)

Motor driver BLDH1500R adopts two-wire electrical interface according to EIA/TIA-485 standard, three wires need to be
connected for such interface : B,A and GND.RJ45 plug is equipped with these three wires, the detail wiring diagram can refer
to 7.3.2 section of national standard GB/T 19582.2-2008. Concerning the industry practice, RJ45 plug also leads out 3.3V
voltage, users can decide to connect it or not based on actual situation.

setting signals : built-in signal and signal from client);

Post-back function setting, which would affect communication rate,
but be convenient to adjust machine. If write 0, then data would be
post back.
For an example: 0x0040 wrote 0, every time the PLC sending 06
function code command to driver, the driver would execute and post
back data at once. 0x0040 write 1, driver would only execute but not
post back.
