Operation Manual EMGZ490A 1 Safety Instructions All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in the manual or on equipment must be observed to ensure personal safety and to prevent damage to the equipment connected to it. If equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
There is the possibility of a system overload, if such a service is nonetheless used. The consequence is a connection interruption between EMGZ490A and PLC. The interruption usually lasts between 3-5 seconds. Afterwards, a new connection is automatically established again.
The measured force values are accessible via the PROFINET bus and on an analog voltage output. The amplifiers are suitable for tension measurement with all FMS force sensors. Either one or two sensors can be connected to one amplifier.
Operation Manual EMGZ490A 3 Quick Installation Guide The set-up of the EMGZ490A and force sensors is limited to only the installation procedure, offset compensation and the calibration. 3.1 Preparations for Set-up 1. Read the Operation Manual of your force measuring sensors 2.
The cable must be installed separate from power lines. Fig. 2a: Wiring Diagram EMGZ490A.R Color scheme (IEC60757) and pin codes are valid for FMS components, only! Fig. 2b: Wiring Diagram EMGZ490A.W Color scheme (IEC60757) and pin codes are valid for FMS components, only!

Caution Bad earth connection may cause electric shock to persons, malfunction of the total system or damage of the electronic unit! It is vital to ensure that proper earth connection is done.
The second method is based on a calculation method in conjunction with the FMS Calculator. This Calculator can be down loaded from the FMS web page. FMS recommends using the method with the weight (see Fig. 3) since it delivers the most accurate results.
Operation Manual EMGZ490A 4.3 Calibration Procedure 1. Activate web interface (ref. to chapter 8.1) and call web page „Offset/Calibration over the web browser” (see chapter 8.3). 2. Connect volt meter to the voltage output (Fig. 2, terminal 13/14) 3. Connect first force sensor to the amplifier (see Fig. 2).
It replaces the binary value (first digit). This calculation method is also used by the FMS Calculator tool. Thus it is possible to use the gain value calculated by the FMS Calculator directly in the calibration. The gain value is then In this entered in the parameter set of the amplifier (see chapter 8.2 “Parameter Setting”).
Test Rules: The FMS force sensors deliver at the rated nominal force at the output 9mV. The maximum load at the mechanical hard stop is 12.4mV. The amplifier checks the overload in the positive measuring direction (red point) as well as in the negative direction.
Fig. 4: Signal LEDs 5 Integration in a PROFINET-network The force measuring amplifiers of the EMGZ490A series were design to work in an PROFINET-network whereas the amplifier acts as an IO-device (Slave) and die IO- Controller (or PLC) as a master.
The IP-address is assigned to each device via the PLC. The device must have an IP-address of 0.0.0.0 after power up to enable the assignment of the final IP-address. This is the case after each EMGZ490A restart. Static IP-address: A static IP-address is required to enable the PLC accessing a web interface.
Operation Manual EMGZ490A 6 Configuration The configuration of the EMGZ490A can be performed either over a web interface or over PROFINET. In both case the same parameters are configured. 6.1 Description of Parameters PROFINET Filter Use: The amplifier provides a low-pass filter for PROFINET data to prevent noise and interferences being overlaid to the PROFINET output.

INDEX must be written to the variable table of the SIMATIC Manager or in an application in the controller. Using a one-time write trigger "FMS_TRIGGER_DB".
Operation Manual EMGZ490A 7.7 Configuration File GSDML Thus, the acyclic data traffic can operate independently from the cyclic, and the two don’t interfere with each other, a new module in the PROFINET IO-device configuration was introduced. The graph (Fig. 8) shows the actual module configuration: Fig.
Using the web interface requires knowledge of the IP address. Your IT system administrator can provide information about the assigned addresses. After entering the IP address in your web browser the home page of EMGZ490A will appear (see Fig. 10). Caution The web interface may only be used in the test mode since data communication can interfere with the PLC.
