MC6x0 - Control cabinet version CAUTION! Danger of overheating! The MC6 device has no fan. The head produced by the device is dissipated through the heat sink and ventilation slots into the surrounding area through convection. Mount the MC6x0 so that the ventilation openings are on the top and bottom and the heat sink fins are arranged vertically (horizontal top-hat rail).
Installation Manual MC6 MC6x1 - Install touch panel version Please note the following procedure for the installation of the panel: 1. First drill the holes according to the following drilling pattern (the drilling pattern applies for all panel devices). 2. Then cut out the section (362 286 mm).
Connection Manual MC6 Connection Overview of terminals Front connections – MC6x00 and MC6x01 WARNING! Electric shock hazard! Connect the interfaces of the MC6 exclusively with SELV voltage. Front connection – MC6x05 ID 442461.03 WE KEEP THINGS MOVING...
Connection Manual MC6 Power supply Housing ground The MC6x0 does not require separate grounding as it is automatically NOTICE grounded with the top-hat rail when mounted. The MC6x1 has a separate Device damage due to overload! grounding terminal on the back of the device.
Connection Manual MC6 CANopen The CANopen interface involves a SJA1000 CAN controller with physical The DVI-D monitor connection is a digital monitor connection that has no layers according to ISO 11898-2 (high-speed CAN). The interface is floating analog signals. and has a 120 ohm termination resistor that is permanently active and not variable.

Motion Controller If the MC_SetPosition command is not required in the Motion Controller, STOBER recommends using the SD6_xx_HiRes driver. Take into consideration that the parameterization of the drive controller has to be changed when the driver is changed.
AS6 configuration Manual MC6 8.2.1 Settings in AS6 8.2.2 Settings in DriveControlSuite If you selected the SD6_xx_HiRes driver, you only have to enter the number of The following table explains the differences in the settings that need to be decimal places in the AutomationControlSuite. The axis model is completely made in DriveControlSuite for the relevant driver.
Master cycle time Cycletime. Information Sync Offset of the master. STOBER recommends setting the data transfers (I/O) in the EtherCAT configuration at the start of the task (parameter MessageAtTaskStart = True, see figure). As a result one motion cycle is lost but you obtain a significantly smaller jitter.
AS6 configuration Manual MC6 8.3.3 Principle of operation of the EtherCAT synchronization The following graphic illustrates the principle of operation of the data synchronization. Parameterization examples EtherCAT cycle time: 4 ms Drive controller cycle time: 1 ms Example 1 1 Shift Time = 800 µs (20% of 4 ms)...

Remanent storage of alarms such as errors or messages is performed automatically by the alarm manager on drive D: of the MC6. The Persistence Manager or the NOVRAM of the MC6 are available to save operating hours counters, part counters or other remanent data.
Manual MC6 Setting up a connection NOVRAM It is also easy to handle the storage of data in the NOVRAM of the MC6. 8.9.1 IP address and subnet mask However the maximum size is limited to 128 kB. The capacity utilization of memory is displayed during the transfer to the controller.
8.9.2 Network name The MC6 is set to DHCP server on network socket 0 in the factory. If no DHCP server is found in the network, the system switches after a certain amount of The MC6 reports with its name. The name consists of STOEBER- and the 7- time to the alternative network setting with the following fixed IP address: digit serial number of the device.
MC6 in the Batch Files folder. NOTICE Damage to hard disk! If you disconnect the MC6 from the 24 V supply while the Commit and Restart command is running, the file system of the SSD or CFast card may be damaged.
8.12 Installing the OPC server It is possible to install a cost-neutral OPC server from 3S-Smart Software Solutions on the MC6 to communicate with the different OPC clients on the market. This communication can be used to integrate visualization or to enable the production data acquisition of machines, for example.
MC6 types MC6x00 and MC6x01 as well as the slot of the memory card. Due to the small housing dimensions of the MC6 there is no opening for the memory card on the front side. To reach the memory card slot, the housing of the MC6 must be opened.
Push the metal plate to the side. The following graphic shows the opened Error messages housing of the MC6 of type MC6x10 and MC6x11 as well as the slot of the memory card. The following error message means that the device connected with the MC6 does not match the projected device.
Service Manual MC6 Restart To restart the MC6, press the Reset button located close to the power supply plug. As a result, a cold start of the system is initiated. To eliminate the error, update the device in the project or replace the device.
Maintenance Manual MC6 Maintenance CAUTION! Explosion hazard! The device is equipped with a lithium battery. If it is replaced by a battery of the wrong type, there is a danger of explosion. Only replace the battery with a battery of the same or comparable type.
