(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Renishaw plc declares that the RLI20 interface complies with the This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits applicable directives, standards and regulations.
RLE laser interferometer encoder system into a position A-9926-0200 - RLI20P laser interface (Panasonic) reading, which is available over a serial bus. The followng accessories are available: The RLI20-P is specifically programmed to be compatible with A-9926-0204 - RLI connector kit Panasonic motor controllers.
Installation Installation The signals should be wired as shown in Table 1: Table 1 – Signal wiring between RLE or HS20 and RLI20 2.1 Analogue quadrature interface Signal Function 1st pair Sine and /Sine The RLI20 accepts the nominal 1 Vpp analogue quadrature 2nd pair Cosine and /Cosine from the RLE or HS20.

Installation Input connector pinout The analogue quadrature input connector pinout is shown in Table 2. All pins are protected to ±7 V. The connector on the RLI20 is a 15 way female D-type. Figure 1 shows the mating D-type connector. Table 2 –...
Installation 9 way D-type Serial interface The RLI20 outputs RS485 serial data at 2.5 Mbps. Cabling A screened twisted pair is recommended with SD+/SD- as one pair 0 V/5 V as second pair and outerscreen as chassis. The connection on the RLI20 is a 9 way male D-type, the mating Figure 2 –...
Installation Error output Power The RLI20 outputs on RS422 compatible error signal. The RLI20 power is supplied via a 4 way male M16 Binder, the mating connector is shown in Figure 4. Pinouts are shown Cabling in Table 5. This is identical to wiring requirements for RCU10 power connector.
Installation Mechanical installation For connector/cable clearance purposes, allow 100 mm (4 in) from the front face of the RLI20. The RLI20 is intended to be mounted in an electrical control cabinet or similar environment. It is constructed with IP40 Note: Using the fixings supplied with the unit (M4 x 5 cap protection and therefore needs to be protected from harsh head screws and 4 mm plain washers) ensures that earthing is environmental conditions.
Configuration 3 Configuration Note: The RLE will flag an error when the measurement velocity reaches a level at which the required output rate of the 3.1 RLE set-up – dip switches digital quadrature exceeds the digital bandwidth limit of the RLE. The digital bandwidth limit depends on the digital quadrature If the RLI20 is being used with an RLE system, care should be resolution and maximum output bandwidth selected with the...
Configuration 3.2 Position WARNING: It is important to check the direction sense correctly. If it is set incorrectly, the machine will move in the Position output is scaled for 1 nm/lsb for PMI and 2 nm/lsb opposite direction to that expected, and may accelerate until it for RRI.
Configuration 3.3 Error output Errors and warnings are cleared when the Panasonic controller is power cycled. RS422 compatible differential output. EEPROM CRC error can only be cleared by power cycling Indicates an error on either channel or a hardware error. the RLI20.
Specification Appendix A – Specification RLI20 power requirement Voltage 24 ±5 V Values in this table define the contribution of the RLI20 on the Power system performance, not the complete laser interferometer system performance. The 24 V power supply should be single fault tolerant certified to Measurement performance EN (IEC) 60950-1.
Safety information Appendix B – Safety information 3. Motor torque monitoring. If the motor torque exceeds an expected limit, the axis of motion must be stopped. General 4. The machine must include an emergency stop button. The RLI20 is designed for integration into the primary position 5.
Safety information Direction sense Position data integrity It is important to check the direction sense correctly. If it is set If an error is signalled by the RLI20, then the RLI20 position incorrectly, the machine will move in the opposite direction to data may be incorrect.
