Description Indel motion boards Description MAX boards offer extremely flexible possibilities for motor control. There are various versions with 2 ... 10 motor output stages, PWM outputs, encoder, resolver, SinCos inputs, etc. available. The units feature various analogue and digital inputs and outputs alongside the motor output stages.
Indel motion boards Description A number of variables are continually monitored within the motion boards: short-circuit monitors switch off the controller in the case of motor or ground short-circuit. Rapid overcurrent cut-outs protect the motor and output stage within the individual phases. These intervene when the drive is stuck or is stopped suddenly.
Safety notes Indel motion boards Safety notes Questions These safety notes do not claim to be exhaustive. Please call us if you have any questions or problems. (Tel. +41 44 956 20 00) General safety notes Documentation Please read this documentation fully before installation and commissioning. Incorrect handling of the modules can lead to personal injury or property damage.
In the case of suspended loads, additional measures must be taken to ensure that the axis stays in place. The Indel servo drives do not offer outputs that allow you to safely control securing brakes. Holding brakes do not offer any protection when slowing down the motor.
Additional EMC safety measures may be required for machines that contain a large number of Indel servo drives. In such cases, the installation of a central mains filter is usually sufficient.
Indel motion boards Safety notes 2.2.7 Plug-in connections Plug-in connections must never be plugged in or unplugged when the unit is switched on. 2.2.8 Responsibility The motion boards are not completely safe from failure, particularly the safety functions. In the event of failure, the operator is responsible for ensuring that the machine/system is put into a safe condition.

Indel motion boards Technical details Single-ended incremental encoders Additional level adjustment is required if single-ended incremental encoders are being used. A connection must be made to the encoder interface at jacks X3A and X4A and to the absolute feedback interface at jacks X3B and X4B. Fig. 7 und Fig. 8 give an example for the absolute feedback interface.

Apply all shielding on both sides. You may need to use a potential compensator in order to avoid unwanted leakage currents over the shielding, particularly in the case of larger distances or different supplies. See “Indel wiring guidelines”. Shield rail The control cabinet must include a shield rail, to which all shielded cables can be attached.
The shielding must be attached with all- round contact in the pin. Also see Indel wiring guidelines and INDEL setup guidelines. Protective earth connection (PE) The protective earth must be designed in accordance with EN 61800-5-1:...
Indel motion boards Installation 6.1.1 Notes on UL directive Motor overload protection External motor overload protection must be provided by the user. Additional overload protection is provided for motors by means of temperature sensors in the field winding. The user is responsible for applying this overload protection.
Operation Indel motion boards Operation Braking resistor It is highly recommended that a braking resistor be used on all motion boards. e.g. 150 Ohm 2W for minimum braking energy destruction. The braking resistance must be dimensioned in accordance with the application.
Do not submerge or spray the housing. In the event of contamination inside the unit: have it cleaned by the manufacturer. Repairs can only be carried out by authorised specialist personnel. Any warranty on the part of Indel shall expire in the event of unauthorised intervention.
