Short Description Whilst the P8721-000-P with option Analogue-output is specifically designed to provide closed loop (Proportional, Integral, Differential) analogue control of 4 quadrant drives, it also serves the purpose of operating as a 2 or 3 speed controller, as the P8721-000-R. When used as a closed loop controller, it is essential that: - 1.
The performance and accuracy obtained is dependent on the type of drive chosen. The outputs for stepped speed drives are transistors. These outputs can be configured in a number of ways to suit all types of control circuits. Actual position is monitored by an incremental Encoder.
Option Analogue +/- 10v Control (see Section 8 & 9 for full description) The setting is effected using Registers R50 to R66 Speed I - Limit or Demand Speed Time Setting Datum Datum can be set in a variety of ways. The method is selected in Register R8/3 R8 = xx0xxx Datum to R7 Closing input St 3 / 8 transfers the value set in R7 into Actual Position Display...
The speeds for going to Datum are set as follows ;- 1. Analogue control First phase (from start to hitting end limit) Speed set in R67 (rpm) Second phase (from reversal to marker pulse) Speed set in R68 (rpm) 2. Switched speed control First phase (from start to hitting end limit) Speed set in R69 For Creep speed R69 = xxxxx0...

Controller in Operation Switch on conditions: On switch on, the controller assumes the same conditions as at time of switch off. The Actual position is memorised. In “Hand” and “Prog”, the Demand Windows are set to zero. In “Single” the Demand value is made to equal Actual value. When automatic datum routine feature is selected,R8/3 = 2 or 3 the controller will not operate, until the datum routine has been carried out.
4.2.2 Input of a Programme The required Programme Block is selected in accordance with section 4.2.1. Press Prog Selects Programme mode Press Nr “01” appears in Nr Window. LED illuminates under Demand Window . Press C Clears existing value. Use Keys 0 – 9 To enter new dimension.
Hand Operation Press T Resets demand windows to zero Use the Button “Hand/Single” to select “Hand”. LED “Hand” illuminates. Buttons 7 8 9 NR can be used to move the Axis forward and backwards at high and low speeds (whilst the button is depressed). The remaining Buttons are inhibited in Manual mode.
Register Input Unlocking Registers by Security Code The values of Registers R1 to R97 can be changed after the Security Code 250565 has been entered into Register R98. (Note that Register R40/R6/R7 are accessible without the need for the Security Code).
Locking of Registers Once all the values have been set, it is necessary to relock the Registers to avoid accidental changes. There are two methods to do so. a)Use Security Code Press R Key in 98 Press > 000000 is displayed Press C Locks Registers Press E...

Description of Registers Slow speed distance Distance to demand position at which the controller switches from high speed to slow speed. The output high speed will be switched off. Creep speed distance Distance to demand position at which the controller switches from slow to creep speed Stop offset distance The over run distance can be programmed to compensate for distance from the switch-off point of the motor to standstill.

Datum This Register can be accessed without Security Code. The Datum value is stored in this Register. The value is used in different ways, in accordance with setting of P8/3.

Time position reached At the end of each move, the controller gives an output, to signal “in position”. The length of this pulse is set in R9. Setting 0.0 gives a maintained output. This output St5/14 is active when Actual position = Demand position +/- Tolerance window Backlash dwell time When the machine stops at the end of the over run, it is usually desirable to have a short delay.
Page 23
Hand Operation The movement will stop when software limits are reached. If moving at high speed, the drive will drop to creep speed at a distance set in R1 from this limit. This prevents running into the ends of the machine. The end limit values are taken into account for minus the backlash value as set in R4, if R8/6 is selected.

Encoder monitoring If after positioning is initiated, no Encoder pulses are sensed after a time set in R19, positioning will be aborted and Fault 01 will be displayed. Setting R19 to 0.0, disables Encoder pulse monitoring. Decimal Point The decimal point is placed in a fixed position and is optical only. It does not change the resolution of the system.

P Term (Proportional Amplification; setting 1 – 3000) During operation, the difference between demand and actual positions will be multiplied by the value of this Register and result in an Analogue output. The greater the proportional amplification, the more responsive (eventually also unstable) will be the system.

Offset Adjustment of Closed loop Analogue system When the position controller is connected to the motor drive, it is possible to come “into position” with an error, due to an analogue offset voltage. This error can be compensated for by adjusting the offset potentiometer of the drive (analogue drives).
Setting of Analogue Parameters Initial settings :- 1. Enter Encoder Resolution in R57 (max 10000 ppr) 2. Set Edge Multiplier in R56 3. Set the desired speed in R50 (for programme and single) and R60-63 (for Hand) – max 10000 rpm. The product of Encoder Resolution and rpm should not exceed the maximum input frequency of the controller.
