X-Y
(2 axes) Position Controller
The X-Y Position Controller is designed for Positioner Stop and Feeder
applications. The
control can automatically position to different lengths, under two
types of program control. It
can also be operated in Manual mode where the desired position is
simply entered on the console.
This is a true CNC controller which can be programmed and operated
using industry standard ISO code (G & M codes), or by using the
Position List Table programming feature. Each Position List table can have up to 10 line entries, and
50 of these tables can be stored in the controller. Each line entry in the table consists of Position and
Quantity.
Result?
Accuracy and speed of material positioning in both directions
for punching or drilling steel or other materials. Time is not wasted having to
manually measure and line up. It all adds up to much faster
production and a large reduction in cost.
Description
and Features
 |
Operator
Console is machined out of solid aluminum and features a
durable, user friendly membrane keypad.
|
|
Controller
is programmed either by using the industry standard ISO code
(G & M codes), or by using the Position List programming
feature.
|
|
Controller
uses standard 120 VAC single phase power.
|
|
Controller
functions in English (inches) or Metric (mm) units.
|
|
The
Console provides full program Editing functions.
Dry Run and Optional Stop features are provided as well
as Single Step mode.
|
|
There
are two displays: One large 8 digit 7-segment display and one
4x20 character backlit LCD display.
|
|
Three
I/O ports can be directly controlled from Console keys (F1,
F2, F3) as well as by the programs.
|
|
Four
different Counters are maintained. These Counters can be reset
from the Console, or from the programs. The Part counter is continuously displayed on the Console for
availability to the Operator.
The Total Actuation counter (cut, drill, punch, etc.),
the List Counter (number of times the Position List has been
executed), and the Program Cycle counter (number of times the
G & M code programs have been executed) are accessible and
maintained by the Supervisor.
|
|
Counter
functions are accessible in manual increment mode as well as
from all program modes.
|
|
There
is an -10VDC to +10VDC industry standard interface analog
output port used to control the servo motor for the linear
axis.
|
| There
are 3 communication ports: One RS-232 and two RS-485.
|
|
Output
I/O: There are 14 relay contact outputs
(7 assigned, 7 free, 10 under M code control)
|
|
Input
I/O: There are 22 opto-isolated inputs
(10 assigned, 12 free, 15 under M code control)
|
|
Industry
standard Quadrature encoder ports: One is provided as standard
and three are optionally available.
|
|
Write
and download programs from any PC to the controller's PC port
(RS-232). The IBM
PC host download program is included with the unit.
|
| Program
memory is stored in EEPROM circuits.
Optionally, additional EEPROM circuits can be added for
additional program storage space.
Standard capacity is configurable; such as 55 programs
of 25 lines or 11 programs of 125 lines, etc.
This capacity can be increased.
|
|
The
supervisor mode, protected by a physical key lock, is used for
modifying traverse speeds and acceleration parameters.
|
|
Parameter
settings are provided for specifying system values such as
zero position, offsets and left hand or right hand operation
as related to the workstation.
|
|
Parameters
for offsets are automatically calculated in the distance that
the stop or the material is to be moved.
|
| Several
other parameters are provided for at installation time and are
automatically calculated, where required, when the material or
the Stop is to be moved.
|
|
An
Emergency Stop (E Stop) switch is located on the Console as
well as an "I/O" input port to permit the
installation of additional E Stop switches.
|
|
Remote
synchronization of the Position Controller with another
controller is possible through three I/O ports allowing for Remote
Start, Remote Stop, and Operation Complete. |
