Operating Instructions EMGZ492.PNET 2 Safety Information All safety information, operating and installation regulations listed here ensure proper function of the device. Safe operation of the systems requires compliance at all times. Noncompliance with the safety information or using the device outside of the specified performance data can endanger the safety and health of persons.
Operating Instructions EMGZ492.PNET 2.2 General Safety Information The function of the measuring amplifier is only ensured with the components in the specified layout to one another. Otherwise, severe malfunctions may occur. Thus, observe the mounting information on the following pages.
The measured force values are available via PROFINET and an analog voltage output. The measuring amplifiers are suitable for tension measurements using all FMS load cells. Two force sensors A and B can be connected to the device. Both measuring values are available as individual signal (A and B), as sum signal (A + B), as differential signal |A –...
Operating Instructions EMGZ492.PNET 4 Quick Guide/Quick Start In these operating instructions, commissioning of the EMGZ492.PNET amplifier is limited to the installation procedure, offset compensation, and system calibration. 4.1 Preparations for Parameterization Read the operating instructions of the selected load cell carefully.
The mounting instructions are included with the load cells. 4.5 Electrical Connections Two or four load cells can be connected to the EMGZ492.PNET. When four sensors are used, two of them have to be connected in parallel. The load cells and amplifier are connected using a 2x2x0.25 mm...
Operating Instructions EMGZ492.PNET Figure 3: Detachable terminal blocks: use a small slotted screwdriver as a lever 4.5.2 EMGZ492.W.PNET The 4 screws of the cover with the PG glands and the M12 plug must be loosened for board access. You can slide out the board by approx. 2 cm (1 in.) and loosen the terminal blocks for easier connection of the wires.
Operating Instructions EMGZ492.PNET 4.5.3 Ethernet Anschlüsse Tabelle 1: Pin Belegung Ethernet Anschluss EMGZ492_PNET_Grafik.ai Warning Poor grounding can result in electric shocks for persons, malfunctions of the overall system or damage to the measuring amplifier! Proper grounding must always be ensured.
If the material tension in the machine cannot be replicated using the weight method (e.g., for space reasons), the gain can be calculated using the “FMS-Calculator”. This tool can be downloaded from the FMS homepage. Figure 6: Replication of the material profile using a defined weight Tension_Control_Solutions.ai...
Operating Instructions EMGZ492.PNET 5.3 Calibration Activate the web interface (see 9) and click on “Offset/Calibration” from the menu (see 9.3). Connect the first load cell (see 4.5). The measuring signal must become positive for loads in measuring direction. If it is negative, the signal lines of the affected load cells must be switches at the terminal block (see 4.5).
Test rule: The FMS load cells deliver 9 mV at the output under nominal force load. In the case of a load up to the mechanical stop, approx. 12.4 mV are output. These values apply, if the load cell is loaded in normal operating direction (red point). In reverse direction, the values are respectively negative.
Illuminates in red if no RJ45 plug is connected. Flashes red if communication with the PLC is interrupted. Not used .R-Version .W-Version Illuminates in green as soon as the voltage supply is connected and the processor is started. Figure 7: Signal LEDs on EMGZ492.PNET EMGZ491_PNET_Grafik.ai 05.10.2018...
6.1 PROFINET Interface PROFINET RT is supported. The respective communication profile is selected by the IO controller (master) via the GSD. The EMGZ492.PNET transfers the actual value in digit and the status/error byte. In addition, parameters, such as offset actual value, gain actual value, filter actual value, filter analog output, as well as scaling analog output can be adjusted.
Operating Instructions EMGZ492.PNET 7 Configuration The EMGZ492.PNET can be configured either via the web interface or via PROFINET. The parameters “Low-pass filter active” and “Low-pass filter analog output active” cannot be accessed via the web interface. 7.1 Parameter Description Parameter...
