(*2) Hydraulic cylinder (*3) Position sensor (*4) POS-124-U-PFN control module (*5) interface to PLC with analogue and digital signals Method of operation This control module supports simple point-to-point positioning with hydraulic drives. The system works based on the principle of stroke-dependent deceleration, i.e. the control gain (deceleration stroke) is set via param- eters D:A and D:B.

This command changes the operating mode. Various commands (defined via STD/EXP) are blanked out in Standard Mode. The commands in Expert Mode have a more significant influence on system behaviour and should accordingly be changed with care. Page 21 of 62 POS-124-U-PFN-2030 23.08.2016...
The SSI interface is suitable for digital position sensor. The internally processed accuracy is 1 micron. CAUTION: It can only be used SSI sensors of the same type, ie the resolution of the sensor, the number of bits transmitted and the transmission coding must be the same! Page 22 of 62 POS-124-U-PFN-2030 23.08.2016...
To reverse the working direction of the sensor, with this command, the polarity can be changed. The internal resolution of the controller is 1 µm. The sensor with better resolution should not be used without consulting with the manufacturer. Page 23 of 62 POS-124-U-PFN-2030 23.08.2016...

This command can be used to change the type of input signal (voltages or current) and to define the direc- tion of the signal. This command is available for the analogue feedback inputs. OFF= Deactivation of the input. Page 25 of 62 POS-124-U-PFN-2030 23.08.2016...
POSWIN:D Dynamic, for monitoring the following error in NC Mode POSWIN:D should always be set greater than POSWIN:S . With POSWIN:D the increasing following error can be detected (e.g. through high external force). In SDD mode both the signals are same. Page 26 of 62 POS-124-U-PFN-2030 23.08.2016...
This command is used to define the acceleration in NC mode. The command is only active if the VMODE has been parameterized to NC. For stable operation, it must be set to a little less value than technically possible acceleration. Normally the the multiple of 3…5 should be considered. Page 27 of 62 POS-124-U-PFN-2030 23.08.2016...
With V0:RES the resolution can be changed in order to put in significant smaller values. The loop gain is alternatively defined as a KV factor with the unit (m/min)/mm or as Vo in 1/s. The conversion is KV = Vo/16.67. Page 28 of 62 POS-124-U-PFN-2030 23.08.2016...
CAUTION! With older modules this parameter was specified in % of the maximum path. Since data specification for this module has now been converted to mm the relationship between the path (PATH command) and these parameters must be taken into account. Page 29 of 62 POS-124-U-PFN-2030 23.08.2016...
Figure 2 (Braking function with respect to stroke and time) The SQRT function generates constant deceleration and thus reaches the target position faster. This is achieved by increasing the gain during the deceleration process. Page 30 of 62 POS-124-U-PFN-2030 23.08.2016...
In the NC-mode parameters of the SYNC: V0 is in s-1 (1 / s) specified. In this mode, the loop gain is entered. The parameter SYNC: T1 causes a delayed action of the synchronized controller. The stability of the control- ler can be increased by the upstream T1-filter in critical cases. Page 32 of 62 POS-124-U-PFN-2030 23.08.2016...
HAND input the output is set to the EOUT value. This is necessary if using valves without error detection for signals lower than 4 mA. If the valve has an error detection, it moves into a defined position after switching off the output. Page 33 of 62 POS-124-U-PFN-2030 23.08.2016...
TRIGGER value should be set to approximately 200 and the MIN value to 100. The gain in the zero point is thus halved and an overall higher gain can often be set. Page 34 of 62 POS-124-U-PFN-2030 23.08.2016...
The valve have to be deactivated in case of < 4 mA input signal. Otherwise the EOUT command can be used to get a defined output signal. The older POL command is removed. Page 35 of 62 POS-124-U-PFN-2030 23.08.2016...
In this case, the hydraulic system is the limiting factor in the accuracy. This is relevant for zero lapped control valves and servo valves. To prevent / minimize position overshoots the static drift compensation have to be done first. Page 36 of 62 POS-124-U-PFN-2030 23.08.2016...

This parameter is used to define the integrator time. The lower this value the faster the compen- sation. Low values will result in „limit cycling“. DC:CR The output range of the DC function will be limited (CR = control range) by this parameter. Page 37 of 62 POS-124-U-PFN-2030 23.08.2016...

If the power supply exists, an attempt should be made to see whether the system can be moved by means of the HAND+ and HAND- signals (measuring the output signal to the valve helps). Page 40 of 62 POS-124-U-PFN-2030 23.08.2016...

The hydraulic system is over-sized. The entire parameterization of the movement cycle cannot be reproduced (overlap and deceleration distance settings) The stability criterion of the hydraulic axes must be taken into account. Page 41 of 62 POS-124-U-PFN-2030 23.08.2016...
