  • Page 11: Power Input (Port 1)

    Power Input (Port 1) The SCU5 M operates under 24 VDC (± 5%) power with a maximum current requirement of 5 Amps. The power is supplied through a Switchcraft DC power connector. WARNING: Supplying more than 24 VDC would damage the controller permanently.
  • Page 12: Motor Communication (Port 2)

    Please consult with the factory before adding any patch cords. Motor Communication (Port 2) The SCU5 controller with “M” suffix includes a 4-pin Male M8 connector to connect the controller to a motor driver (supplied by Roll-2-Roll Technologies LLC) used for web guiding applications. A pre-wired motor communication cable with the 4-pin M8 female connectors on both ends is used to connect the controller and the motor driver.
  • Page 13: Analog Output (Port 2)

    Analog Output (Port 2) The SCU5 controller without the motor suffix will include a 3-pin Male M8 connector for analog output. The pinouts for the connector are shown below. Color Signal Brown Voltage Blue Current Black Ground/Common The outputs can be chosen via the touchscreen interface to any of the following available output options:...
  • Page 14: Opto-Isolated Output (Port 3)

    Opto-Isolated Output (Port 3) For some applications two opto-isolated outputs are available from the SCU5 controller. These outputs are available on a 4-pin M12 female pin connector. A standard M12 4-pin A coded male connector or a pre-wired M12 cable can be used for the connection. The pin functions for the connector are shown in the table below.

Improper Use ●...
  • Page 16: Operation And Operator Interface

    The web guiding operations are accomplished using the web guide operation buttons on the bottom of the screen. The capacitive touchscreen on the SCU5 controller uses a language independent icon based screen that allows ease of operation. Never use sharp or pointed tools of any kind to operate the interface. Best practice is to have operators use their fingers to press the different icons.
