OI: BK MIKRO 7 BK Mikro 7 Manual System Components Control unit 3.1.1 Characteristic properties The control unit is available in three models preconfigured for different supply voltages. The relevant version will be marked on the rating plate: 24 VDC, 120 VAC, 230 VAC.
ISO 2768 – mK Fig. 3-2: Control unit – Dimensions Note: The control unit of BK MIKRO 7 is a built-in unit ! PELV = Protected Extra Low Voltage The voltage applied must meet the requirements for an extra low function Warning potential with safe disconnection (PELV).
BK Mikro 7 Manual OI: BK MIKRO 7 Selection inputs • "S1" terminal "S2" terminal "S3" terminal The input signal (static) of +24 VDC relative to "Com" terminal must be stable during 10 ms min. before "Teach" or "Start". The input S3 must be connected at a wand length of 250 mm. Concerning shorter wands, S3 remains unconnected.

BK Mikro 7 Manual OI: BK MIKRO 7 3.1.5 Rotary switches The two rotary switches P1 and P2 on the control unit front panel are used to • select the scanning mode ("Teach" or "Switch"). • set the angular positions of the ranges, noted in degrees, that are controlled by object monitoring or free space monitoring.
OI: BK MIKRO 7 BK Mikro 7 Manual 3.1.6 Toggle switches Using the six toggle switches arranged next to each other on the control unit front panel, the following functions may be set. High scanning intensity Low scanning intensity Relay N.C.

Return travel monitoring off, if "Start" signal has already been removed in reversing point. Return travel monitoring will detect malfunctions! Example for suitable use of return travel monitoring: BK MIKRO 7 has successfully monitored the object. But the wand is stopped by an obstacle on its return travel, cannot return into its stop position, and will block the transport of the tool.

BK Mikro 7 Manual OI: BK MIKRO 7 Teach mode = monitoring with learning function Requirement: Rotary switches P1=0 and P2=0 The scanning range will be determined by a learning cycle (external control signal). This mode of operation is the typical mode for tool detection applications: The system will check for the presence of the tool at the learned position.
Requirement: Rotary switches 0 ≤ P1 < P2 ≤ 270 Rotary switch P1 and P2 settings will define the scanning range. In this mode of operation, BK MIKRO 7 is suitable for monitoring tools with differing diameters (object monitoring) as well as for ejection monitoring (free space monitoring): Two rotary switches are used to define a scanning range which is to be monitored before each working cycle.
BK Mikro 7 Manual OI: BK MIKRO 7 5.2.3 Deflection of wand Rotation angles will be detected by scanner encoder pulses. These pulses are derived from the rotation of the motor. For scanning, a metal needle (wand) is used which, depending on the scanning force, can be deflected.
OI: BK MIKRO 7 BK Mikro 7 Manual BK MIKRO 7 with scanner BK7RLSC – Scanning in both directions Note: "Scanner" toggle switch set to "BK7RLSC" Only object monitoring, no free space monitoring ! Special cases make possible scanning in one direction!
BK Mikro 7 Manual OI: BK MIKRO 7 Teach mode = monitoring with learning function Requirement: Rotary switches P1=0 and P2=0 The scanning ranges will be determined by a learning cycle (external control signal). This mode of operation is the typical mode for tool detection applications: The system will check for the presence of the tools at the learned positions.
OI: BK MIKRO 7 BK Mikro 7 Manual 6.1.2 "Start", the real scanning process The scanner will travel to the previously "learned" positions of the objects to check for their presence. In so doing, the wand will first move in the preset direction, then in opposite direction.
Requirement: Rotary switches 0 < P1 < 360 and 0 < P2 < 360 Rotary switch P1 and P2 settings will define two scanning ranges. In this mode of operation, BK MIKRO 7 allows only object monitoring: Two rotary switches are used to define two scanning ranges which are to be monitored before each working cycle.
OI: BK MIKRO 7 BK Mikro 7 Manual 6.2.2 Control operation "Object monitoring" The second "Start" pulse starts the real scanning process of object monitoring within two ranges. The control unit will change into an "O.K." state, i.e. it will issue a good message, if during a scanning cycle the operation sequence described below is followed: •...
