Note: If completed 578-0957 Mounting Bracket Gp is not received, perform procedure to assemble 578-0957 Mounting Bracket Gp.

Note: The retaining ring should be towards the sheave shoulder.

Note: To press the bearing onto the sheave shaft only apply force to the internal ring of the bearing. Continue to press until the bearing contacts the sheave shoulder

Note: Apply Blue Loctite on both sides of threaded rod (4) (Loctite 242) and hand tighten threaded rod (4) and position sensor (5).

1. Install sheave (7) with bearing (2), shim packs (1), position sensor (3), threaded rod (4)( 40 ± 1.5 mm (1.6 ± 0.06 inch)), position sensor (5), and spacer (6) to 578-0957 Mounting Bracket Gp.

   Connect the hoist cable.

New Encoder Calibration and Troubleshooting

Depth Measurement

The normal process for depth processing is as follows:

1. At key-ON we read from memory the last known head position to use as the start point.

2. The rotary encoder reads the position of one top cable sheave and calculates the motion of the rotary head.

3. After the rotary head passes each proximity switch the position is adjusted to be more accurate.

4. At key-OFF the position will be saved into memory.

The proximity switches are placed before the head reaches important locations:

• Pipe in the hole for two pipe masts (optional switch).

• Head clear of carousel and pipe in the hole for one pipe masts.

• Head near deck wrench.

Diagnostics

The sheave encoder has diagnostics for open and short to ground diagnostics. If there is a failure, all interlocks that use head position are activated and they will need to be manually overridden.

• If a failure is detected with duty cycle (raw input from sensor), head above carousel, head cleared to positioner and pipe not in hole interlocks will be activated. The operator will need to override these to perform related operations.

• If a failure is detected with all the proximity switches (that are part of the depth system based on machine configuration), head above carousel, head cleared to positioner and pipe not in hole interlocks will be activated. The operator will need to override these to perform related operations.

• If a failure is detected with one (any) proximity switch (that is part of the depth system based on machine configuration), automatic pipe handling will not work.

The proximity switches have short to ground diagnostics to avoid improper position corrections.

Component Detail

The sheave sensor uses hall effect technology that senses a magnet that is attached to the sheave.

The proximity switches are typical proximity switches that are mounted on the mast and will read the target mounted on the rotary head guides.

1^st Time Calibration

To calibrate the head position the rotary head needs to be moved up or down past one of the proximity switches. Once the proximity switch is flagged the calibration is complete. There is no longer a need to calibrate through the operator display. Those buttons may be present in current software but will be removed shortly. You may have an event stating that top of mast calibration is required, this will be removed from software as well in a future release.

Verify ET settings

• It is important to verify mast length and pipe length settings in ET are correct for the machine’s configuration. These are critical for the new software.

3. Mast Configuration

   • Set mast length to 13.6 m (44.62 ft).

   • Set pipe length configuration to 6096 mm (20.0 ft).

Electrical Troubleshooting

Illustration 58	g06420279

• Connect the M906-ED9-BU(Blue)wire to PIN43 of EL-C175 - signal from proximity switch, should read 5V when target not detected and 1.3V when target is detected.

• Connect the M908-ED10-YL(Yellow)wire to PIN49 of EL-C175 - signal from proximity switch, should read 5V when target not detected and 1.3V when target is detected.

• Connect the M909-ED11-GN(Green)wire to PIN50 of EL-C175 - signal from proximity switch, should read 5V when target not detected and 1.3V when target is detected.

• Connect the N997-ED12-WH(White)wire to PIN41 of EL-C175 Pin 3 on Encoder Sig 1 (This should see 5 to 95% duty Cycle when head is moving) against the ground).

• Connect the N998-ED13-OR(Orange)wire to PIN42 of EL-C175 Pin 4 on Encoder Sig 2(This should see 5 to 95% duty Cycle when head is moving) against the ground).

Note: Mast that are 13.6 m (44.62 ft) with 35ft carousel should use only M906 and M908.

• Connect the T997-ED7-OR(Orange)wire to PIN11 of EL-C172 - Pin 1 on Encoder vs (needs to read 5V).

• Connect the T998-ED8-BR(Brown)wire to PIN21 of EL-C172 - Pin 2 on Encoder ground.
