15 Description of Product

The MTL4544S Two Channel Repeater Power Supply, 4/20mA for ‘Smart’ Transmitters is designed to provide floating

d.c. supplies for energising two ‘Smart’ 4/20mA Transmitters located in the hazardous area and repeat these currents in the

non-hazardous area, whilst restricting the transfer of energy from the unspecified non-hazardous area apparatus to the

intrinsically safe circuits by means of limitation of current and voltage. The apparatus also allows bi-directional signal

communication between the hazardous and non-hazardous area by the connection of a hand-held communicator (HHC).

The MTL4544S Two Channel Repeater Power Supply, 4/20mA for ‘Smart’ Transmitters comprises four isolating

transformers that provide galvanic isolation between the hazardous and non-hazardous area circuitry, zener diode chains

and resistors providing voltage and current limitation. The above, together with other electronic components are mounted

on a single printed circuit board (PCB) and housed in a moulded plastic enclosure. Polarised plugs and sockets are

provided for hazardous and non-hazardous area connections. LED indication is fitted to indicate power-on.

The MTL454IS Single Channel Repeater Power Supply, 4/20mA for ‘Smart’ Transmitters is a depopulated version ofthe

MTL4544S and has only one channel populated.

The MTL4544D Repeater Power Supply, 4/20mA for 2 or 3 Wire Transmitters with two outputs is designed to provide a

floating d.c. supplies for energising a 2 or 3-Wire 4/20mA Transmitter located in the hazardous area and repeat the current

on two channels in the non-hazardous area, whilst restricting the transfer of energy from the unspecified non-hazardous

area apparatus to the intrinsically safe circuits by means of limitation of current and voltage. The apparatus also allows bidirectional signal communication between the hazardous and non-hazardous area by the connection of a hand-held

communicator (HHC). The apparatus uses the same printed circuit board and enclosure as the MTL4544S but is populated

with only one hazardous area transmitter connection and two non-hazardous area outputs fitted.

The MTL454IT Single Channel Repeater Power Supply, 4/20mA for 2 or 3-Wire Transmitters is similar to the

MTL454I S but is fitted with different voltage and current limitation components and therefore has different output

parameters.

15 Description of Product

The MTL4544S Two Channel Repeater Power Supply, 4/20mA for ‘Smart’ Transmitters is designed to provide floating

d.c. supplies for energising two ‘Smart’ 4/20mA Transmitters located in the hazardous area and repeat these currents in the

non-hazardous area, whilst restricting the transfer of energy from the unspecified non-hazardous area apparatus to the

intrinsically safe circuits by means of limitation of current and voltage. The apparatus also allows bi-directional signal

communication between the hazardous and non-hazardous area by the connection of a hand-held communicator (HHC).

The MTL4544S Two Channel Repeater Power Supply, 4/20mA for ‘Smart’ Transmitters comprises four isolating

transformers that provide galvanic isolation between the hazardous and non-hazardous area circuitry, zener diode chains

and resistors providing voltage and current limitation. The above, together with other electronic components are mounted

on a single printed circuit board (PCB) and housed in a moulded plastic enclosure. Polarised plugs and sockets are

provided for hazardous and non-hazardous area connections. LED indication is fitted to indicate power-on.

The MTL454IS Single Channel Repeater Power Supply, 4/20mA for ‘Smart’ Transmitters is a depopulated version ofthe

MTL4544S and has only one channel populated.

The MTL4544D Repeater Power Supply, 4/20mA for 2 or 3 Wire Transmitters with two outputs is designed to provide a

floating d.c. supplies for energising a 2 or 3-Wire 4/20mA Transmitter located in the hazardous area and repeat the current

on two channels in the non-hazardous area, whilst restricting the transfer of energy from the unspecified non-hazardous

area apparatus to the intrinsically safe circuits by means of limitation of current and voltage. The apparatus also allows bidirectional signal communication between the hazardous and non-hazardous area by the connection of a hand-held

communicator (HHC). The apparatus uses the same printed circuit board and enclosure as the MTL4544S but is populated

with only one hazardous area transmitter connection and two non-hazardous area outputs fitted.

The MTL454IT Single Channel Repeater Power Supply, 4/20mA for 2 or 3-Wire Transmitters is similar to the

MTL454I S but is fitted with different voltage and current limitation components and therefore has different output

parameters.

NI 9505 Hardware Overview

The NI 9505 provides unique flexibility and customization. The 

NI 9505 works together with the LabVIEW FPGA Module to 

create a highly customizable motor drive or actuator amplifier. 

Figure 1 illustrates the functionality of the NI 9505 working in 

conjunction with the LabVIEW FPGA Module in a typical motion 

control application. Figures 2 and 3 show more detailed versions 

of the position, velocity, and current loops implemented in the

LabVIEW FPGA Module. A typical application contains a 

position loop, velocity loop, and current loop, implemented in 

the LabVIEW FPGA Module block diagram. Depending on the 

application, you may not need to use all three loops. The examples 

installed in the labviewexamplesCompactRIOModule

SpecificNI 9505 directory illustrate methods for implementing 

each of these loops.

The NI 9505 returns the motor or actuator current data to the 

LabVIEW FPGA Module for use in a current loop or for 

monitoring. The NI 9505 also returns status information such as 

drive fault status, VSUP presence, and emergency stop status to the 

LabVIEW FPGA Module for use in system monitoring. Refer 

to the NI 9505 Reference Help book in the LabVIEW Help, 

available by selecting Help»Search the LabVIEW Help, for 

more information about the available status information.

The LabVIEW FPGA Module generates a PWM signal and sends 

the signal to the NI 9505. The PWM signal is proportional to the 

desired current or torque you want to provide to the motor or 

actuator. Increasing the PWM duty cycle results in increased 

current and thus increased torque. 

Quadrature encoder signals pass through the NI 9505 and are 

processed in the LabVIEW FPGA Module for use in the position 

Hot-Swap Behavior

The NI 9505 is always disabled when it is inserted in the chassis, 

regardless of whether VSUP is present or not. You can enable the 

drive using the Enable Drive method in software. Refer to the 

NI 9505 Reference Help book in the LabVIEW Help, available 

by selecting Help»Search the LabVIEW Help, for more 

information about enabling the drive.

When the NI 9505 is removed from the chassis while it is enabled, 

the power to the motor is removed and the motor decelerates to a 

stop based on its own friction.

Power

The Power LED (green) illuminates when the NI 9505 is properly 

inserted into a powered chassis.

Note The Power LED does not illuminate when the 

chassis is in sleep mode. 

VSUP

The VSUP LED (green) illuminates when the motor DC power 

supply is properly connected and powering the drive.

Disable

The Disable LED (yellow) illuminates when the drive is disabled. 

The drive is disabled by default at power-on. You can enable the 

drive using the Enable Drive method in software. Refer to the 

NI 9505 Reference Help book in the LabVIEW Help, available 

by selecting Help»Search the LabVIEW Help, for more 

information about this method.

Fault

Caution If the Fault LED is lit, determine the cause of the 

fault and correct it before enabling the drive.

The Fault LED (red) illuminates when a fault occurs. A fault 

disables the drive. Causes for fault are the following:

Caution VSUP greater than 40 V will result in damage to 

the NI 9505.

• Overvoltage

• Undervoltage

• Motor terminal (MOTOR±) short to VSUP

• Motor terminal (MOTOR±) short to COM

• Module temperature exceeds 115 ºC

• Sending commands to the motor before enabling the drive

Note Do not command motor movement until the drive is 

enabled with the Enable Drive method. Attempting to 

control the motor before it is enabled will result in a fault.

• Violating PWM minimum pulse width requirements. Refer to 

the Specifications section for more information about PWM.

Sleep Mode

This module supports a low-power sleep mode. Support for sleep 

mode at the system level depends on the chassis that the module is 

plugged into. Refer to the chassis manual for information about 

support for sleep mode. If the chassis supports sleep mode, refer 

to the software help for information about enabling sleep mode. 

Visit ni.com/info and enter cseriesdoc for information about 

C Series documentation.

Typically, when a system is in sleep mode, you cannot 

communicate with the modules. In sleep mode, the system 

consumes minimal power and may dissipate less heat than it does 

in normal mode. Refer to the Specifications section for more 

information about power consumption and thermal dissipation.

Wiring the NI 9505

The NI 9505 has a 9-pin female DSUB connector that provides 

connections for the encoder inputs, a +5 V connection for encoder 

power, a connection for an emergency stop input, and a connection 

to COM. Refer to Table 1 for the pin assignments.

The NI 9505 also has a screw terminal connector that provides 

connections to a motor DC power supply and a DC brushed servo 

motor. Connect the positive lead of the power supply to terminal 4, 

VSUP, and the negative lead to terminal 3, COM. Refer to Table 2 

for the terminal assignments.

Note You must use 2-wire ferrules to create a secure 

connection when connecting more than one wire to a 

single terminal on the NI 9505 screw terminal.

Caution Do not turn on or plug in the motor DC power 

supply until the screw terminal connector is fully inserted.

Optional Screw Terminal Accessory

Use the NI 9931 Screw Terminal Accessory instead of the 

detachable screw terminal connector to increase the output power 

of the module at temperatures below 70 ºC. The NI 9931 is 

available from ni.com (NI part number 780571-01) or by calling 

your National Instruments sales representative. Refer to the 

Specifications section for more information. Refer to Figure 5 for 

an illustration.

Figure 5. NI 9505 Module with Optional Screw Terminal Accessory

Wiring for High Vibration Applications

National Instruments recommends using ferrules to terminate 

wires to the detachable screw terminal connector or the NI 9931 

Screw Terminal Accessory when you use the NI 9505 in high 

vibration applications. Refer to Figure 6 for an illustration.

Figure 6. 4-Terminal Screw Terminal Connector or 

Accessory with a Ferrule

Motor Power Signals

The MOTOR+ and MOTOR- signals power the servo motor. 

Motor direction is as follows:

• Forward—Clockwise (CW) facing motor shaft

• Reverse—Counterclockwise (CCW) facing motor shaf

Encoder Signals

The encoder signals consist of a Phase A, Phase B, and Index 

(Phase Z) input. The NI 9505 supports differential and 

single-ended inputs for Phase A, Phase B, and Index (Phase Z) 

signals. Figures 8 and 9 show simplified schematic diagrams of the 

encoder input circuit connected to differential and single-ended 

inputs. You can also accommodate open-collector output encoders

by using a 1 kΩ pull-up resistor on each line to +5 VDC. Refer to 

the Specifications section for more information about the encoder 

inputs. 

The encoder signals are raw digital input signals. These signals are 

used in the LabVIEW FPGA Module for position and/or velocity 

feedback. Figures 8 and 9 illustrate the use of the encoder signals 

in a position and velocity loop in the LabVIEW FPGA Module. 

Refer to the examples installed at labviewexamples

CompactRIOModule SpecificNI 9505 for examples of using 

the encoder signals. Refer to the NI 9505 Reference Help book 

in the LabVIEW Help, available by selecting Help»Search the 

LabVIEW Help, for more information. 

If the encoder cable length is greater than 3.05 m (10 ft), use 

encoders with differential line driver outputs for your applications. 

Power for a +5 V encoder—generated by a power supply inside the 

NI 9505—is available on pin 5 of the DSUB connector.

Note The internal power supply is powered through the 

Vsup pin. 

Closed-loop servo applications require consistent directional 

polarity between the motor and encoder for correct operation. 

One industry-standard directional polarity is as follows:

• Positive = forward = clockwise (CW) facing motor shaft

• Negative = reverse = counterclockwise (CCW) facing motor 

shaft

Refer to Figure 7 for a depiction of clockwise and 

counterclockwise rotation. If encoder counting does not behave as 

expected, change the encoder polarity in the FPGA or swap the 

Phase A and Phase B connections.

When connecting the encoder wiring to the NI 9505, use shielded 

wire of at least 24 AWG. You must use cables with twisted pairs 

and an overall shield for improved noise immunity. Refer to 

Figure 4 for a connection example.

Note Using an unshielded cable may produce noise, 

which can corrupt the encoder signals and cause lost 

counts, reduced accuracy, or other erroneous encoder and 

drive operation.

Emergency Stop Signal

The E-Stop signal is an input to the drive from an emergency stop 

switch. Figure 10 shows a simplified schematic of the emergency 

stop input circuit. When the emergency stop switch is closed, 

current flows through the circuit, and the drive is enabled. When 

an external event activates the emergency stop switch, the switch 

opens and current stops flowing, disabling the drive. The E-Stop 

functionality is disabled by default. Refer to the NI 9505 Reference 

Help book in the LabVIEW Help, available by selecting Help»

Search the LabVIEW Help, for information about how to enable 

this signal using the Enable E-Stop Property.

Figure 10. Emergency Stop Input Circuit

Cable Requirements for EMC Compliance

Use the following guidelines when selecting cables for the 

NI 9505:

• Use shielded cables with a low impedance connection to 

chassis ground to minimize noise and signal crosstalk.

• Tie the VSUP cable shield to chassis ground at the module side 

only.

• Tie the motor cable shield to chassis ground at the motor side 

only.

• Tie the encoder cable shield to COM at the encoder side only.

• Wire encoder signals and their ground connections separately 

from all other connections to prevent lost encoder counts.

• Route wires along the machine frame to reduce high frequency 

noise.

• Add clamp-on ferrites to cables to further reduce emissions.

• Add a balun to the power cable to attenuate conducted and 

radiated emissions

Introduction

The Unimotor range has been developed following extensive

research and testing of thermal dynamic theories and

practices.

This range is available in five frame sizes 75; 95; 115; 142

and 190mm, in a unique and instantly recognisable finned

design that offers extra strength, rigidity and thermal

performance. These are important features for high

performance servo systems.

Designed to operate from switched-mode three-phase AC

drive outputs with DC link volts up to 750V DC, this range

employs a registered UL approved insulation system.

There are four basic motor types, each for different drives.

UM, SL and DM motors are for 400/440V nominal AC

drive supply voltage.

EZ motors have identical mechanical construction and

feedback options, but support a different winding to suit

220V nominal AC drives such as Unidrive LV and Epsilon /EN

drives.

UM, SL and DM Motors

UM Motor

The UM motor has been primarily designed to operate with

the Unidrive and Unidrive SP, but can be used with any

suitable drive.

Feedback options include resolver; or incremental, sincos

single-turn, sincos multi-turn optical encoders.

SL Motor

The SL version is a UM motor fitted with special SLM

technology electronic feedback that operates with Control

Techniques’ M’Ax and MultiAx drives. This motor-drive

combination offers extremely high resolution, for superb

system speed control. High resolution is essential for many

system applications where speed and position errors must be

miniscule.

The feedback comprises of a special Sincos encoder and SLM

electronics, both contained within the standard UM outline.

The encoder has a memory programmed with all the

essential motor characteristics necessary to automatically set

all M’Ax parameters, giving an instant ‘Plug and Play’

capability

DM Motor

The DM motor is suitable for use with the DigitAx drive. The

stator connections to U and V are interchanged to match the

DigitAx.

Accessories

Other options

Gearboxes – motor torque can be extended by a good

selection of factory-fitted gearboxes, available to order in a

wide variety of options.

Forced air-cooling – customer-fitted fan blown boxes

specially designed to fit the range of motors, can directly

enhance motor performance. (Not suitable for SL).

Custom specials – a range of special adaptations e.g. shaft

or feedback type are already designed and may be available

where quantities justify.

Cable assemblies – ready made power and signal cables in

lengths of 2-100 metres to connect motors to the

appropriate drive

Heat Transfer from Radially 

Finned Motor Housings

One of the most important features of an electric motor is its

rated torque value per unit of motor volume. To maximise this

value, the motor surface must lose heat as efficiently as

possible. Additionally, servo motors must provide full torque

at zero speed. It is not practical to use a shaft mounted fan for

cooling so the motor must keep cool through a combination of

natural convection, conduction through the front flange, and

radiation.

Figure 1. Naturally ventilated motors usually have a relatively smooth

frame surface. The frame is cylindrical or square, or a combination of the

two. The above illustrations show half cross sections of the various motor

types as used in the CFD model

Adding fins to a surface increases the convective cooling –

radiators are an everyday example. Axial fins are common in

forced ventilated motors. CT Dynamics has taken this concept

a stage further to develop the Unimotor range of servo motors.

For a motor to give a performance that requires minimal derating, it must be designed so that it can be mounted in a

number of orientations. The Unimotor’s finned design ensures

that the motors can be mounted horizontally or vertically

without significant effect on heat transfer. CT Dynamics’

engineers derived the optimal fin thickness and spacing using

a specially designed computational fluid dynamics (CFD)

model.

Finned Motors – Designed for Horizontal

and Vertical Orientation

Figures 2 and 3 show charts comparing the variation between

hC (heat transfer coefficient for convection) with ∆T for the

finned motor design against traditional types. The heat

transfer coefficient shows a massive 100% to 200%

improvement over conventional housings.

Figure 4 compares the rated torque of a range of motors with

and without radial finning. The figure takes account of the

effect of any additional conductive cooling through the front

flange and radiation. The additional convection cooling gives

a sizeable increase in torque for the finned motor range.

Powerful, colour HMI

in a compact format

The NQ series, Omron’s family of easy to use 

economic HMI terminals, offers you many 

useful features, with the best quality 

graphical display in even the smallest touch 

screen. This makes the NQ family ideal for 

many different applications, from a simple 

semi-automatic packaging machine up to a 

bigger in-line packaging or filling machine.

More functionality and flexibility

at no extra cost

The smallest version of the NQ series is ideal in places 

where operators are currently using pushbuttons and 

lamps, or text based function-key terminals, by offering 

more functionality and flexibility without increasing 

overall costs. The NQ touch screen gives you the 

functionality to create intuitive screens for the operator 

with ready-to-use buttons and lamps from the library, 

alarm handling and even trending and logging of 

historical data. 

The colour displays ensure you get the full benefits of 

the NQ HMI series’ functionality, as the clarity and 

brightness of the screen make the coloured status 

alarms ‘jump out’ to clearly inform the operator.

As well as the use of the touch screen, the operator can use 

the 5 or 6 function keys for commonly used functions 

throughout the HMI application. 

Updating the HMI application or uploading historical data 

from the NQ can be done easily and quickly with a standard 

USB stick. This means that you can supply the new HMI 

application to the end user for on-site updating.

All the NQ HMI family models come with many features for fast 

creation of modern looking applications. The USB ports allow 

easy connection and data transfer between the HMI and PC, 

while the serial communication ports enable connection to 

many popular devices for the exchange and display of data.

As well as the large family of Omron PLCs, the NQ HMI can also 

interface with a wide range of non-Omron devices by 

supporting dedicated and open communication protocols.

Create modern applications easier and faster

Texts can be defined in nine different languages with support 

for Latin, Cyrillic, and Asian characters. Furthermore, the real 

time clock and the graphical features, like analogue meters 

and bar graphs, mean that you can upgrade the functionality 

of machines with ordinary switches or buttons. 

Alarms are shown in real time and can be printed, while 

historical data can be displayed as a trend, or uploaded in

CSV format.

Diversity for flexibility

The NQ series comes in different display sizes and in a colour 

and monochrome version. All of them display clear and sharp 

pictures, buttons, text and graphs on a modern touch screen.

All versions have two USB ports and in addition to the touch 

screen, a minimum of five function keys on the right side, 

which enable quick activation of the most commonly used 

functions. 

Connectivity

The NQ HMI can connect in many different ways using Serial 

connection, Ethernet connections and USB. With these 

physical connections and the many protocol drivers 

available, you can communicate to many different Omron and 

non-Omron devices, like PLCs, inverters and temperature 

controllers. The NQ HMI collects all the data and can quickly 

visualize it graphically. Data stored in the NQ HMI can be 

easily transferred to a memory stick or PC.

With all these possibilities the NQ HMI gives you the choice 

to create from where and how you want to gather data, so 

that operation of your machine is easy and intuitive.

Ethernet

The NQ TFT colour models are equipped with an Ethernet port 

that support communication to several Omron PLCs and can 

also be used for up-/downloading of project data. Using the 

default settings like the IP-address, you can immediately 

connect with Ethernet to quickly download your created 

project.

The Omron Ethernet FINS protocol even makes it possible to 

read and write data memory inside the NQ HMI from PC 

applications so that any data can be shared easily.

Language support

Texts can be defined in nine different 

languages with support for Latin, Cyrillic, and 

Asian characters.

Quality display

With the NQ software you can easily design 

beautiful screens, showing buttons and sharp 

colour graphics. 

Easy project updates

All NQ versions have two USB ports for easy 

project updates using a simple USB stick or 

USB cable. 

Quickly accessible functions 

In addition to the touch screen, a minimum of 

five function keys on the right side enable 

quick activation of the most frequently used 

functions. 

Landscape and portrait model

The NQ 5.7 inch version, both colour and 

monochrome, is available in a portrait and 

landscape model and can therefore be 

installed in places where space is limited. 

Trending and logging

Plotted trend graphs can be displayed for a 

graphical representation of data. The trend 

can show real time and historical (logged) 

data with a time-based axis. 

Alarm handling

Alarms are shown on the screen with their 

actual status and text message. For each 

alarm you can define the condition, priority 

and whether it needs to be logged, so that 

you can create a history of occurred alarms. 

Conversion

It is always possible to convert your NQ 

project to any model within the NQ series

Simple software that has it all

The NQ Series has all the features needed for creating modern 

looking applications. Mastering the software requires little 

training and the library includes all the basic HMI functions 

plus extra buttons, lamps, graphics, and meters, including 

real-time and historical trending and logging.

NQ-Designer configuration software makes it easy to create 

your HMI application. It guides you from start to setup of your 

HMI project, creating nodes, tags and screens. For screens, 

you can create pop-up, template and keypad screens. Per 

screen, you can define the function keys and perform certain 

tasks, like calculations or read/write actions. Your project can 

also be tested directly on the PC with this easy to use

ServoWire Drive Network

ORMEC’s AC brushless servomotors 

and ServoWire digital ServoDrives

offer tested and guaranteed 

performance with the SMLC. The 

result is maximum performance from a 

tightly integrated, pre-engineered 

package that simplifies everything 

from system integration to 

maintenance.

Fully digital control offers compelling 

benefits eliminating manual 

ServoDrive setup and providing realtime software access to all 

parameters. In an SMLC system, the 

position, velocity and torque loops are 

all closed by the digital signal 

processors (DSPs) in the ServoWire 

Drives. Position update commands

are sent from the SMLC. Velocity 

observer software eliminates the need 

for analog tachometers, and 

potentiometers are eliminated since all 

gain and compensation parameters 

are set in software.

All loop adjustments are automatically

computed when a motor and its load 

inertia are specified in ServoWire Pro

greatly simplifying servo system 

tuning.

Function

This signal conditioner provides the isolation for nonintrinsically safe applications.

The device is a universal frequency converter that changes a 

digital input signal into a proportional free adjustable 

0/4 mA … 20 mA analog output signal and functions as a 

switch amplifier and a trip alarm.

The functions of the switch outputs (2 relay outputs and 

1 potential free transistor output) are easily adjustable [trip 

value display (min/max alarm), serially switched output, pulse 

divider output, error signal output].

The device is easily configured by the use of keypad or with 

the PACTware configuration software.

A fault is signalized by LEDs acc. to NAMUR NE44 and a 

separate collective error message output.
