This instruction manual contains information about the interfaces of the PMC-2, its operation, the main parameters and a description of available diagnosis messages and system variables.
This instruction is aimed exclusively at technically qualified staff with detailed knowledge in the sector of automation technology, for only qualified staff have the necessary expertise to interpret and implement safety instructions correctly.
For the sake of clarity, the instruction manual does not contain all details on all versions of the PMC-2 and cannot cover any feasible case of installation, operation or maintenance. In case of specific problems not sufficiently explained here, please contact ELAU.
2 The PMC-2 in an overview
The PMC-2 digital positioning motor controller is the cost optimal and complete solution in futureoriented technology for your positioning and synchro tasks.
2.1 Introduction
Until now a servo positioning has been realized by means of a positioning control and a separate motor controller.
Now there is the PMC-2, where you will find these two components integrated in one single unit.
The advantages of this conception are as follows:
– no difficulties in adapting positioning control <-> motor controller
– deep system view until down to the motor current via system variables
– one software for positioning and synchro procedures
– one interface for setting parameters and programming of both components
– highly flexible process language
All applications requiring a high dynamic, flexible, and precise positioning of brushless AC servo motors.
Typical applications are in tact and angle-synchronous machines:
– food and packaging machines
e. g. measurers, foil transport, cut into sections referred to labels, rotating blades
– printing and paper machines
e. g. book binding
– textile machines
e. g. sewing, weaving, thread transfers
– plastics machines
e. g. foil transport, cutting
– hosting engines and mounting techniques
e. g. round tables, pallets, feeding, removing
– special purpose machines
e. g. flying shear, perforating installations
The PMC-2 positioning motor controller provides the following performance features:
· flexible positioning control and digital motor controller in one case
· direct electric mains with integrated mains filter (600 Volt technology)
· T1-operation according to VDI 2853
· dc-circuits of several PMC-2 are parallelly switchable (power compensation)
· completely digital concept
· multiple processor technology (32 bit processor plus VECON chips)
· one programming interface for POS and MC
· unit exchange without PC (Memory Module)
· highly dynamic brushless AC servo motors SB-056…205 in high-voltage technology with resolver or SINCOS encoder
· extensive cross linkage abilities
· own input and output level (digital and analog I/Os)
· independent operation
· modular extension possibilities via option modules
· connection of absolute or incremental encoders possible
· matured diagnosis
· simple and flexible programming language ECL-3 with multitasking functions
· system variable conception with deep system view until down to the motor current
· realization of positioning and/or synchro functions (electrical gear, disk cam function) with one software
· sampling rate position controller 0,33 ms
· CE in conformity
