  • Page 10: Product Description

    QS-220-PL PRODUCT DESCRIPTION QS-220-PL is designed with upgradability in mind – it is possible to expand 2DOF Setup later on. Available variants are presented below. Intro set - 2DOF - Front variant Intro set - 2DOF - Back variant WARNING QS-220-PL is delivered without the pivot leg.

  • Page 11: Intro Set

    Check if the package contains all listed parts. If it is incomplete, please contact the distributor/reseller. For beginners, two actuators variant can be sufficient, Qubic System provides the option to buy Intro Set that contains QS-MC6 and QS-220-PL (QS-220-PL is delivered without the pivot leg).
  • Page 12 M6x12 bolts (x 8) ■ ■ QS-220-PL is a set composed of 2 actuators (QS-L1) and power cabinet (QS-SB2). It can be used to set up various motion rigs (more information about motion rigs in section 3.6 on page 21.

  • Page 13: Extension Set

    Set - this set does not include QS-MC6 with M10 connector as there is no need to have 2 of them in motion rig - communication between QS-SB2 power cabinets is done by connecting them directly to each other. Intro Set (QS-220-PL ) connected with Extended Set results in 3DoF configuration.

  • Page 15: Voltage System

    In case of a system malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of the least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. If the place (where the QS-220-PL is mounted) can not provide proper grounding, according to the description, please contact a qualified electrician for help.

  • Page 16: Power Requirements

    Power cabinet QS-SB2 contains the power supply for connected actuators. If there is no certainty if fuses or entire electrical installation can handle QS-220-PL , contact a qual- ified electrician. Be aware that with heavy payload, and/or more intense simulations average power consumption may rise.

    6.1. ADDING ADDITIONAL DEVICES TO THE MOTION LOCK CIRCUIT If there is necessity to stop other devices, apart from the QS-220-PL , ML (Motion Lock) and additional customer devices can be controlled by safety relay outputs. In the ex- ample application, the E-STOP button is connected to the external safety relay. When the E-STOP is triggered, the safety relay will activate the Motion Lock function, which will stop motion of the platform and additional devices.

    QS-220-PL 6.3.2 ADDING POWER-CUT CIRCUIT WITH E-STOP BUTTON If specific SIL/PL rated level needs to be achieved, it might be necessary to install a power cut-off device. Two contactors connected in series and controlled by safety relay can be used to provide or cut-off power line to QS-SB2 power cabinets. When safety function on safety relay input is triggered, a safety relay will switch off the contactors, thus cutting-off the power to the platform.
