Working Principle: The controller executes logic and motion applications in a real-time environment. It generates per-axis position, speed and torque commands and transmits them over the selected servo bus. Drive feedback returns actual position and status, enabling closed-loop correction. Safety circuitry monitors enable signals and initiates STO, SS1 or SOS when triggered.
Installation Requirements: Mount in a ventilated cabinet with adequate spacing for convection or forced cooling. Connect 3-phase main power through properly rated breakers. Provide isolated 24 VDC control supply. Install SERCOS, EtherCAT, CANopen or PROFINET cables with correct topology and termination. Ground the cabinet and shield cables according to EMC rules.
Usage Notes: Perform axis autotuning under no-load conditions before production. Validate safety functions with documented tests. Avoid exceeding 55°C ambient without derating. Keep firmware, project backup and drive parameter files consistent.
