The length of the screws [1] and locating pins [2] for fixing the tiles depends on the height X of the machine bed [3]. Beckhoff recommends the following screw depths in the tile: • The M6 screws [1] for fastening the tiles should protrude be- tween 6 and 9 mm from the machine bed [3].

Serious or even fatal injuries may result if this is ignored. Beckhoff recommends mechanical protection of the stator surface after all tiles have been fastened to the machine bed. The mechanical protection [1] must protrude at least 16 mm beyond the stator surface [2].

Application of an easy-to-clean surface 7.2.3.2 The application of an easy-to-clean surface facilitates the use of the XPlanar in cleanrooms and in the pharmaceutical and food in- dustries. The surface must not be thicker than 0.5 mm. It must be non-mag- netic and have low electrical conductivity.
Page 51
Insufficient cooling can cause damage to components due to heat accumulation. Beckhoff recommends mounting a fan [+] on tiles in situations where movers experience strong acceleration, lift or tilt, in order to dissi- pate heat in a targeted manner and to avoid heat accumulation.

Connection technology All XPlanar tiles have interfaces for connecting the power cable and inputs and outputs for EtherCAT G lines. The end of the Ether- CAT G cable ZK1096-8191-0xxx has an RJ45 connector with the TSB568A configuration.
An example for a power supply involving connecting a star distribu- tor with up to six tiles is provided below: Symmetrical distribution between the phases For multiphase feed networks the XPlanar tile groups must be dis- tributed symmetrically between the existing phases. Observe the maximum possible input inrush current.
