PC60 Position Control

Position control plant, Motor,Sensors

By a three-phase synchronous drive, a toothed wheel and a toothed belt a cart is driven along a guiding bar. One sensor, a rotary incremental encoder, measures the position of the cart. The system is built on aluminium profiles and covered with a plastic container outside. The electrical signals are connected through multi-pin plugs.

Actuator with power supply and system control
Inside a 19"-case (length 470 mm x depth 370 mm x height 156 mm, weight 10 kg) there are a servo unit, a power supply and two system control units (System Status, User Control). The system status displays whether the plant is connected to actuator, the system is ready to operate, the plant type as well as manual/ PC/ external controller. The user control contains two keys (start manual or external controller), one potentiometer (manual control signal), two measurement outputs (control signals for servo amplifiers) and two signal inputs (external control signals for servo amplifiers) as well as a key to stop any controller. The servo amplifier for the system Loading Bridge is already included in the standard version.
Actuator mains supply (230 V, 50 Hz, 400 W, on request 110 V, 60 Hz)

Inputs servo unit:
  • 2 limit switches (left/right)
  • control signal -10 ... +10 V
  • servo amplifier enabled/disabled
Output servo unit:
  • control signal for the motor
