The UVW channels generate square waves that are configured based on the number of poles in the brushless motor. A motor controller reads the UVW pulses and vectors current to the stator windings accordingly. In order to properly time the incidence of current to the stator windings correctly, the encoder and motor must both begin at the zero point. Most brushless motors have a feature that locks the rotor in the zero position. Usually the commutation encoder must be aligned manually by sight. This can be a tedious and time-consuming process. The AMT31 and AMT33 Series eliminate this procedure. When the motor rotor is in the zero position, the AMT31 and AMT33 Series are mounted and the zero position is instantly established via serial communication using Same Sky's AMT Viewpoint™ graphical user interface or the OTZ “One Touch Zero” module.
