are learnt" by the SPC11.

14 Festo P.BESPC11SYSEN en 0404b

1. Summary of components

During operation, the SPC11 controls movement of the move able mass into the saved end positions and intermediate positions at the highest possible speed. Shortly before the learnt" end position or intermediate position is reached, the moveable mass is braked so that it comes to a standstill. To keep the moveable mass in the learnt" end position, it is pressed against the fixed stop with a pressure equal at maxi mum to the operating pressure.

AdvantagesCompared with pneumaticimpact drives with pulsevalve control, this control procedure permits higher positioning speeds. Also, the following measures, which would be re quired for controlling a drive with a pulse valve, are no longer necessary: the use of restrictors the use of limit switches the use of mechanical end position cushioning (shock absorbers) the maintenance of fixed stops. Compared with pneumaticimpact drives with pulsevalve control, the SPC11 permits: higher machine cycle times less vibration of the system lower maintenance costs.

1. Summary of components

1.2 operation Metho d ofTasks of the SPC11 The SPC11 takes over the following tasks: It ascertains characteristic system values of the connected components It saves the desired end positions and intermediate positions It specifies the end positions and intermediate positions It compares the nominal and actual positions and controls positioning by appropriate actuation of the proportional directional control valve (status control). Method of operation The SPC11, the valve, the drive and the measuring system are connected together to form a closedloop control circuit. In this closedloop control circuit, the position of the move able mass represents the control variable. This control cir cuit is therefore also called positioning control. In the following text, the term moveable mass" also refers to piston, slide and flange shaft. The following diagram shows the basic layout of a positioning control circuit with the SPC11.

The measuring system registers continuously the position of the moveable mass and transmits this in the form of an elec tric signal to the SPC11. The SPC11 compares the current position with the target position (the taught" end positions Po.1 and Po.2 or the intermediate positions Po.3 and Po.4) and calculates from this value the positioning signal for the proportional directional control valve. The proportional directional control valve controls the drive by pressurising one cylinder chamber and exhausting the other. The flow is blocked in the valve slide midposition.

3. Installation

Compressed air supply (1)Use only dried, nonlubricated, 5 m filtered compressed air from 5 to 7 bar. You will require a service unit with a 5 m filter for protecting the proportional directional control valve against damage.

Service unit(2)Use a service unit consisting of a compressed air filter and a regulating valve (e.g. type LFR...D... with 5 m filter element) as well as a safety startup valve (e.g. HEL......): without lubricator with a 5 m filter with sufficiently large standard flow corresponding to the air requirement of the connected drive during positioning. Reference value: twice the rated flow of the valve (type MPYE5...), e.g.: Valve typeMPYE51/8LF010B MPYE51/8HF010B MPYE51/4010B MPYE53/8010B

Service unitLFRM1G1/8C10RG or LFR1/8D5MMINI LFRM1G1/4C10RG or LFR1/4D5MMINI LFRM2G1/4C10RG or LFR3/8D5MMIDI LFRM2G3/8C10RG or LFR3/4D5MMAXI

Use a microfilter if you cannot avoid slight oil mist from the compressed air supply.

35

3. Installation

Compressed air reservoir (3)If the positioning behaviour does not conform to your require ments, and if you ascertain fluctuations in pressure of over 1 bar at the measuring point, then proceed as follows: Fit a compressed air reservoir (e.g. type VZS...B) be tween the service unit and the proportional directional control valve. In this way you can reduce fluctuations in pressure during operation. You can compensate for slight excesses in the permitted pressure by using supply tubing with a larger diameter. Reservoir volume: The reservoir volume should be at least four times as large as the volume of the drive used. VP=4*VZ V P = buffer volume V Z = cylinder volume (linear drive: V Z = r 2 * * L Z ) L Z = cylinder stroke length

3. Installation

Compressed air tubing and screw connectors (4)Use only straight screw connectors. If angled connectors cannot be avoided, use plug connectors from the Quick Star series. Cut compressed air tubing and hoses to the required size, as specified in the manual for the drive used. Arrange the tubing between the valve (MPYE5...) and the drive symmetrically. Use only clean compressed air tubing and connectors. Details on permitted temperatures and pressure ranges for tubing and connectors can be found in the products catalogue. Do not install restrictors in the supply lines. Arrange the tubing so that it does not project into the positioning range. For good positioning behaviour during operation, fluctuations in pressure of max. 1 bar are permitted in front of the propor tional directional control valve. In order to check the stability of the supply pressure, you can fit a pressure measuring point directly in front of the proportional directional control valve.

Proportional directional control valve (5)Arrange the tubing between the valve (MPYE5...) and the drive symmetrically. Recommendation for linear drives and drives with piston rod: tubing length = cylinder length.

3. Installation

If the proportional directional control valve is to be used in an environment subjected to heavy electrical interfer ence, it should be insulated from the mounting surface. Fitting onto moving parts If fitted to moving parts, the proportional directional con trol valve must be mounted at rightangles to the direc tion of movement. Acceleration forces then have no influ ence on the valve slide setting.

Drive (6)Use only the permitted combinations of drives and measuring systems approved of by Festo for the SPC11. The drivevalve combinations, cylinder diameters, cylinder lengths and mass loads permitted for the drive used can be found in the DriveSpecific Supplement" manual. Connect the drive, guide, measuring system and the load free of play in the direction of movement and flush with each other. If necessary, provide a sufficiently large supply of energy in order to minimise the effects of transverse forces on the posi tioning behaviour. Observe the maintenance intervals specified in the operating instructions for the drive (see operating instructions for the cylinder/drive or the guide).

3.2.1 Pneumatic emergency stop circuitIn order to put the system into a safe state in the event of a fault, you will require a pneumatic emergency stop circuit. From the types listed below, select the one which best suits the construction and operating characteristics of your sys tem: Drive pressureless during emergency stop Drive clamped during emergency stop Drive moves at reduced speed into the left or righthand end position during emergency stop. Please note If the operating voltage supply for the SPC11 is switched off, the proportional directional control valve type MPYE... will move to the mechanical midposition. Due to the asym metrical voltagepressure curve of the proportional direc tional control valve when the supply pressure is switched on, the slide can move slowly into one of the end positions.

Variants of emergency stop circuitsThe following four diagrams show as an example four variants of emergency stop circuits for a linear drive. In each case the emergency stop situation is represented. For requirements and recommendations concerning the components used, see Fig. 3/11 and Fig. 3/12.

Nominal stroke length (L) of the drive [mm]

Nominal stroke length (L) of the drive, see type designation on the type plate (e.g. type DNCI32300PA has a nominal stroke length of 300 mm).

Offset axis zero point (r) [mm]

For a good positioning behaviour, the SPC11 must know the positioning range used by the drive. The offset axis zero point specifies the offset between the end position P.01 and the axis zero point. With an offset of 0 cm, the end position P.01 lies in the axis zero point.

Remarks on reference travel With incremental path measuring systems, the measurement variable refers to a reference point and is determined by counting equally large measurement steps (increments). The relationship between measurement variable and current posi tion is created through the reference travel. Referencing in the teach procedure In the teach procedure (see also section 4.3.1), the end positions P.01 and P.02 are approached. This creates the relationship between measurement variable and current position. Reference travel is not necessary.

Reference travel after POWER ON

After the SPC11 operating voltage is switched on again, the relationship between measurement variable and current position is lost. Reference travel into the end positions P.01 or P.02 is necessary (see also section 4.4).

Output O5: Ready signal (instead of Error signal)

Use O5 for Ready signal instead of Error signal. Permits monitoring of operational readiness: The output O5 supplies a 1signal if the SPC11 is ready to operate. A 0signal at this output indicates that the SPC11 is not yet ready to operate, or there is a system or positioning error. Switches off the time monitoring during a positioning order. It is then not monitored whether the position is reached within approx. 10 s. Switch off constant adaptation. Adaptation is then active after operating voltage is switched on only within the first 20 strokes. 1) Switches off soft end position behaviour. Travelling into the end position takes place with somewhat more remaining energy. You can reduce the cycle time with this function (up to max. 15 %, depending on drive and mass load).

4.2.4 Set parametersAt the factory, all the parameters are zero (status at delivery). When the power supply is switched on, the SPC11 in this case expects entry of the parameters. In preparation for commis sioning, the parameters can be set in the office" without setting up the drive. This simplifies the commissioning of large series in production. Set the parameters without drive (in the office) as follows: Warning Incorrectly set parameters can damage the fixed stops and the drive. Be very careful when setting the parameters.

The right amplification and cushioning stages and the system parameter for your drive can be found in the drivespecific supplement. The values specified here are examples. Instead, enter the values valid for setting up your drive. 1. Switch on the operating voltage for the SPC11. The SPC11 will then show briefly the version number of the internal firmware.

4.2.5 Changing parametersNote The option parameter o can be changed without a new teach procedure being necessary. After the parameters A, C, S, L or r are changed, the teach procedure must be per formed again. If necessary, the set parameters can be modified, e.g. in order to correct entry errors or to optimise positioning behaviour. This can be carried out in one of the following ways: PossibilitiesActivate modification mode

DescriptionIn this mode the set parameter values are retained and can be modified or trans ferred. Taught intermediate positions are retained. All parameter values are then set to 0. Taught intermediate positions are deleted.

Activate modification mode Condition The measuring system must be connected. There must be a 0signal at input Remote (I8). The drive must be at a stand still.

Caution When the modification mode is activated, the valve slide assumes the mechanical midposition. During positioning the mass can therefore move uncushioned into an end position. Make sure that the drive is standing still before you acti vate the modification mode.

4.3 Commi ssionin g proced ureWarning Faults in the system structure and incorrect parameters can cause the slide to move to an end position uncu shioned. The fixed stop or the drive may then be de stroyed. You must observe the following instructions in order to prevent such collisions. The SPC11 learns" the

location of the end positions (cylinder end positions or fixed stop positions) by means of the teach procedure. The teach procedure must be carried out during the first commissioning and always when the fixed stops have been adjusted or when compo nents and tubing have been replaced. During the teach procedure the SPC11 can recognise faulty drive tubing or incorrectly set parameters. The teach procedure must therefore be carried out again if the tubing is disconnected and then reconnected, or if the parameters A, C, S, L or r are modified. Make sure that the maximum permitted mass load is observed during operation. Recommendation: Place appropriate warning signs on your system.

421

4. Commissioning

4.3.1 Preparations for the teach procedureTeach procedure During the teach procedure movement is made at first cyclically and slowly to the end positions P.01 and P.02. In this way the SPC11 learns the mechanical end positions and some characteristic system values such as friction and hysteresis. The SPC11 saves these values in the integrated EEPROM. In order to check the set parameters for plausibility, the moveable mass is first brought dynamically into the centre of the positioning stroke used and then moved to just in front of end position P.01. Note When an incremental path measuring system is used (e.g. with type DNCI......): During the teach procedure, movement is made to the end positions P.01 and P.02. This creates the relationship between measurement variable and current position. Reference travel is not necessary. The teach procedure is concluded when the moveable mass is pressed against end position P.01 and the output O1 supplies a 1signal. Before commissioning can be undertaken, the pneumatic drive must be ready for operation. The teach procedure should be carried out with maximum permitted mass load. During the teach procedure there must be a 0signal at inputs P.01 to P.04. Proceed as follows in order to prepare the teach procedure: 1. Check the complete system structure, especially the drive tubing (see chapter 3). Special specifications for your drive can be found in the DriveSpecific Supplement". 2. Check the electrical circuitry.

3. If fixed stops are used: Set the fixed stops accurately in the desired end posi tions. The positioning stroke permitted for the drive used can be found in the DriveSpecific Supplement". 4. Check whether the parameters have already been correctly set in precommissioning. The permitted values of the parameters A, C, and S for the drive you are using can be found in the appropriate axisspecific supplement. The currently set values will be shown briefly when the operating voltage is switched on (see also Fig. 4/3). If the SPC11 is in the status at delivery: When the operating voltage is switched on, the SPC11 waits for the amplification stage (A) to be entered.

In this case, set the parameters as described in section 4.2.4. If the parameters have already been set: When the operating voltage is switched on, the SPC11 shows briefly the set parameters one after the other, so that they can be checked. The SPC11 then indicates readiness to carry out the teach procedure (t flashes). (t flashes)

The teach procedure can now be started (see sections 4.3.2).

4.3.2 Start the teach procedureCondition There must be a 0signal at inputs I1...4. The parameters must be set correctly. The maximum mass load and, if appli cable, the fixed stops must be fitted correctly. To be able to start the teach procedure with the buttons, a 0signal must be present at the Remote input (I8).

Warning In order to avoid damage caused by uncushioned movement into the end positions, proceed as follows: with the first commissioning when the fixed stops have been adjusted after changing the parameters A, C, S, L, r or after replacing components or tubing. 1. Make sure that: the compressed air supply and the operating voltage of the SPC11 are switched off the abovementioned prerequisites are fulfilled. 2. Switch on the operating voltage for the SPC11. The SPC11 will then show briefly the version number of the firmware. The set parameters are then shown, so that they can be checked. 3. Now switch on the compressed air supply (5 to 7 bar). As the valve slide assumes the electrical midposition, the moveable load can move slowly into one of the end posi tions due to the asymmetrical voltagepressure curve of the proportional directional control valve.

Caution During the teach procedure, the moveable mass moves at first slowly, then at the highest possible acceleration and speed. Make sure that: Nobody can place his/her hand in the positioning range of the moveable mass, unless the compressed air supply is switched off. The complete positioning range is free of any objects. 4. If teaching has not yet taken place, the SPC11 indicates readiness to carry out the teach procedure (t flashes). (t flashes) Then proceed as described under 5. If teaching has already taken place, the moveable mass stands controlled in a taught position (P.01...P.04) or in any (P..) position. Proceed as follows: Hold the Enter/Teach button pressed down for at least 2 seconds. The SPC11 then indicates readiness to carry out the teach procedure (t flashes). 5. Hold the Enter/Teach button down at least 2 seconds in order to start the teach procedure. The SPC11 then carries out the teach procedure. The moveable mass moves at first slowly, then dynamically.

4.3.3 Teach the intermediate positionsThe SPC11 permits fast movement into up to two selectable intermediate positions. The desired intermediate positions are learnt" by manual movement or by shifting the moveable mass and then saving. The learnt" intermediate positions can be approached during operation. The intermediate positions can also be used as sensor posi tions, as the relevant output (O3...O4) supplies a 1signal for 50 ms when the intermediate positions are travelled over (see section 4.4.4). Condition The drive must be ready for operation. There must be a 0signal at inputs I1...4. In the procedure using the buttons on the SPC11, a 0signal must be present at the Remote input (I8). The supply pressure must be switched on or off, depending on the variant.

Variants ProcedureThe supply pressure is The moveable mass can brought into the switched off desired position very accurately by hand during the teach procedure. The supply pressure is The mass can be moved manually. Very switched on accurate positioning can, under certain circumstances, be difficult and may take a considerable amount of time.

The following explains how to teach the intermediate posi tions when the supply pressure is switched on. If you wish to teach the intermediate positions with the supply pressure switched off, you must proceed in exactly the same manner. However, the mass will not start moving automatically when the button is pressed { or }, but must be brought into the desired intermediate position by hand. The button {or} must still be pressed at the appropriate position.

When the moveable mass has reached the desired posi tion, confirm with Enter (> 2 s ), in order to save the posi tion. The current position will then be saved as the inter mediate position. The appropriate output (O3 or O4) supplies a 1signal. 428 Festo P.BESPC11SYSEN en 0404b

4. Commissioning

No flashing. 7. If you wish to teach the next intermediate position, repeat the steps listed as from step 1. Repetition accuracy The repetition accuracy when moving to the intermediate positions depends on the type of drive and on the length of the measuring system. Detailed dimensions for repetition accuracy with the drive you are using can be found in the drivespecific supplement.

Note Observe the following instructions in order to achieve good positioning behaviour and the repetition accuracy speci fied. The distance between the intermediate position and the drive end position must be at least 10 % of the complete cylinder stroke length or of the complete rotary angle, in order to provide a sufficient compressed air cushion. Positioning paths between taught positions should not be less than 3 % of the complete cylinder stroke length or of the complete rotary angle. With linear drives and cylinders the positioning paths should be at least 20 mm. If the intermediate positions P.03 and P.04 lie at the same point and if movement is made to one of the intermediate positions (e.g. to P.03), only the output corresponding to the order (e.g. O3) will be set when the intermediate posi tion is reached. The output bit of the other intermediate position will be set for 50 ms only if the position is tra velled over (overswing) (sensor function).

4.3.4 Conclude teach procedureAdaptation The positioning behaviour is monitored continuously during operation. Internal characteristic values are adapted here to the actual state of the drive, e.g. in order to compensate for wear etc. during the service period. After commissioning, the positioning behaviour improves by adaptation automatically after approximately 20 to 30 strokes. Therefore, after teaching the end positions and intermediate positions, always allow 20 to 30 positioning cycles to be carried out.

4.3.5 Carry out teach procedure againWhen the SPC11 is ready to operate, the teach procedure can be started again, e.g. with the aid of the Teach button.

If the Teach button is pressed again (for at least 2 seconds), the teach procedure will be started (see section 4.3.2). If the end positions are taught again, the adaptation values will be deleted. Intermediate positions already taught" are retained.

Note If, after you have taught the end positions again, the previ ously taught intermediate positions (P.03 and P.04) now lie outside the positioning range, positioning commands to move to the intermediate positions will be acknowledged with error E14. As soon as the intermediate positions lie again in the permitted positioning range by adjustment of the end stops and teaching again of the end positions, positioning commands to move to the intermediate posi tions will be carried out again.

Reference travel after POWER ON

Only for incremental path measuring systems: After the SPC11 operating voltage is switched on again, the relationship between measurement variable and current position is lost. For that reason, you must always carry out reference travel after switching on again. Reference travel can take place either in the end position P.01 or the end position P.02.

Starting reference travel

Reference travel is started after POWER ON through a positioning task to P.01 or P.02. Other positioning tasks are not permitted after POWER ON and result in the error E18 reference travel".

Process of reference travel If the drive is already in the desired end position when refer ence travel is started: A movement toward the end position is impossible. To check whether compressed air supply is lacking or the drive is already in the end position, pressure is added briefly in the opposite direction.

Note Here the drive carries out a short compensating movement in the opposite direction. If the drive is not yet in the desired end position when refer ence travel is started: The drive moves slowly toward the end position. During the reference travel, the message rEF" is displayed. Reference travel is concluded when the moveable mass is pressed against the corresponding end position (P.01 or P.02) and the assigned output (O1 or O2) supplies a 1signal.

4.4.2 The first positioning taskDuring the first positioning task the SPC11 checks whether the mass moves in the desired direction. If the mass moves in the wrong direction, the SPC11 will diagnose incorrectly con nected tubing in the system and display error E12 (incorrect direction of movement). The SPC11 then reacts as follows: The valve slide of the proportional directional control valve will then be brought into the electrical midposition (flow blocked) The ERROR output supplies a 1signal. No new positioning task will be accepted. This safety function helps to prevent damage as a result of incorrectly connected tubing in the system. In the case of incorrectly connected tubing in the system: Switch off the operating voltage and correct the tubing. If the moveable mass is already in one of the end positions when the operating voltage is switched on, a positioning task into this end position will be generated and the mass will be pressed against the end position. If the drive moves out of the end position instead of remaining in that end position, the SPC11 will also diagnose incorrectly connected tubing in the system and will display an error. The fault may be due to one of the following causes: the compressed air supply is still switched off. the drive has been moved manually or moved from the end position by external forces, or it has moved itself (e.g. when fitted in a vertical position). the drive moves briefly out of the end position because the system has been pressurised too quickly (asymmetri cal pressure buildup in the cylinder chambers).
