Instruction Manual PSx3xxPL 2 Device Description 2.1 Features The PSx3xx positioning system, an intelligent, compact, complete solution for positioning auxiliary and positioning axes, consists of an EC motor, gear power amplifier, control electronics, absolute measuring system and POWERLINK interface. The integrated absolute measuring system eliminates the need for a time-consuming reference run.
Instruction Manual PSx3xxPL 3 Installation 3.1 Electrical connection NOTICE The following notes on the power supply should be observed. Minimum cross-sections are required for connection to the power supply. For power cables mounted on the device, use only the cross-sections listed below. In order to minimize voltage drop on longer cables, we always recommend using the largest available cross-section.
Instruction Manual PSx3xxPL 3.2 Assembly of the positioning system CAUTION The maximum permissible axial and radial forces (see chapter 6.3 Physical data) on the motor shaft must not be exceeded during transportation, installation or operation. CAUTION Take the weight of the device into account when selecting the fastening screws! Tightening torques of the fixing screws according to the screw manufacturer's specifications! WARNING...
Page 14
Instruction Manual PSx3xxPL CAUTION The PSx3xx must have a little gap on all sides when mounted, as it can move axially and/or radially during positioning if the hollow shaft and solid shaft are not 100% aligned. This "staggering" is not a defect of the PSx3xx and also has no influence on the function, as long as it can move freely.
Instruction Manual PSx3xxPL 3.2.2 Solid Shaft The PSx3xx is installed on the machine by mounting the drive to the axis to be driven using a coupling and an intermediate flange. CAUTION Under no circumstances may the housing cover be used for the purpose of the transmission of force.
Instruction Manual PSx3xxPL 3.4 Powering the device CAUTION For motor power use a single fuse with max. 3,5 A for each PSx3xx. For motor power use a single fuse with max. 10 A for each PSE34xx. For control power you can use a fuse with max. 2,0 A, so it is possible to power up to 10 units parallel with one fuse.

Instruction Manual PSx3xxPL 4 Sequence of positioning 4.1 Positioning run with loop By default, the PSx3xx always approaches each setpoint from the same direction. If a destination is in the opposite direction to the loop direction, the setpoint is first traversed by the value of the loop length (SDO #201F) and then finally approached.
Instruction Manual PSx3xxPL After reaching the target position, this position is compared with the internal absolute encoder status. If there is a deviation, the status bit "Error" is set (bit 9 in the status word). In the delivery state, the loop length is -250 steps, i.e. each setpoint position is approached in the forward direction.
Instruction Manual PSx3xxPL 5 Specials 5.1 Speed, acceleration and deceleration Manual runs are performed at the maximum speed specified in SDO #2013; positioning runs are performed at the maximum speed specified in SDO #2012. For all runs the maximum acceleration in SDO #201C and the maximum deceleration in SDO #201D apply.
Instruction Manual PSx3xxPL NOTICE Runs which involve specifically a block run (e.g. reference runs on block), may only be started with reduced torque (max. torque max. 10% of the nominal torque, resp. the lowest possible value). 5.4 Response of drive in case of manual displacement (readjustment) If after a correctly finished positioning run (or a manual run to the range limit) during standstill the PSx3xx is displaced by external force opposite to the loop direction and the release bit (bit 4 in the control word) is set and the readjustment function (SDO...
Instruction Manual PSx3xxPL 5.5 Calculating the absolute physical position The PSx3xx actuator includes an absolute measuring system with measurement range of 256 rotations. In order to avoid an overflow when the drive is switched off and moved by an external force, the user can only command positionings in the range of 250 rotations.
Page 42
Instruction Manual PSx3xxPL Remarks: 1) When calculating the upper mapping end (SDO #2028), a security reserve of 3 rotations has to be kept in mind (1200 increments by default, see the examples above), because the highest possible position value is 3 rotations below the upper mapping end.
Page 43
Instruction Manual PSx3xxPL 2) Indirectly, by writing an actual value to SDO #2003. This makes it possible to assign any “true” actual value to the current, physical actual value. The resulting difference is then the referencing value. This value will immediately be included in calculations for each transferred value and can also be read via SDO #2004.
Instruction Manual PSx3xxPL 5.6 Use of the “Upper mapping end” parameter The following chapter illustrates the use of the parameter “upper mapping end” both graphically and by means of examples: 5.6.1 Delivery state In the delivery state (“DS”), the actual position is exactly in the middle of the positioning range.
Instruction Manual PSx3xxPL Upper mapping end 152,400 Lower limit 51,200 Upper limit 151,200 Positioning range starts at 51,200 NOTICE The numerator factor and denominator factor can be used to map any spindle resolutions. Using the referencing value, you can shift the whole range of values. 5.6.3 Shifting the positioning range downwards starting from the delivery state In the following example, starting from the DS, the maximum possible positioning range is shifted slightly downwards using the parameter “upper mapping end”:...
Instruction Manual PSx3xxPL 5.6.4 Shifting the positioning range depending on the actual position Are (in contrast to the examples above) one or more of the parameters “numerator”, “denominator” and “referencing value” not in the delivery state, these are included in the calculation of the possible value range for the upper mapping end.
Instruction Manual PSx3xxPL Example: Spindle with 5 mm pitch, specified unit for target and actual values: 1µm 1 rotation = 5mm = 5,000µm Number of steps per rotation = 5,000 Using the formula Number of steps per rotation = 400 * denominator / numerator the following result is obtained: numerator = 400;...
Page 48
Instruction Manual PSx3xxPL 2) Setting numerator and denominator: The numerator and denominator determine the number of steps into which one rotation of the output shaft is divided. 3) Setting referencing value: The referencing value is used to assign a specific value of the actual position to a specific physical position of the axle.
Instruction Manual PSx3xxPL 5.7 Using position scaling factors to set the spindle pitch SDO #2010 (numerator factor) and #2011 (denominator factor) can be used to represent any desired spindle pitch: denom factor number steps revolution numerator factor Both factors are set to a value of 400 by default, resulting in a resolution of 0.01 mm at a spindle pitch of 4 mm.
Instruction Manual PSx3xxPL 5.10 Abort run when the master fails If the connection to the master is interrupted during a positioning run, the master cannot abort an actual run. In order to generate an automatic run abort in this case, there’s a mechanism implemented in the drive that monitors the communication to the Powerlink Managing Node (e.g.
Instruction Manual PSx3xxPL - Connection of an active signal Here the respective jog key input is connected to the (active) signal connection. The reference ground of the external active signal should be connected to the GND connection in the jog key plug. The +24V output in the jog key plug remains unused.
Instruction Manual PSx3xxPL manual adjustment under cover PSx31x-14, PSx33x-14 PSx30x-14, PSx32x-14 5.13 Devices with optional snap brake The device models PSx30x-14, PSx31x-14, PSx32x and PSx33x can be supplied with an optional snap brake. This brake prevents the output shaft from turning when the power supply to the motor is removed, or, if the motor holding torque is too low, to a maximum of the level of the nominal torque.
Instruction Manual PSx3xxPL To adjust the drive manually, it is first necessary to remove the corresponding rubber- plug in the top cover (see drawings at the end of these instructions). The drive can then be rotated using a hex wrench NW4. This is quite difficult, as the operator has to overcome both any torque present at the output and the force of the friction brake.
Instruction Manual PSx3xxPL 5) Start a manual run in the opposite direction with the same settings (move a certain distance away from the hard stop in order the drive can move freely). 6) Only now adjust the desired settings of the above mentioned SDOs for normal operation.
