Performance characteristics

Heavy load adaptation and precise control

Based on the 10KN load characteristics, a dedicated power drive unit and load feedback adjustment algorithm are built-in to achieve precise control of load operating speed, force, and position, with a control accuracy of ± 0.5% of full scale, avoiding equipment damage or production accidents caused by control deviations during heavy-duty operations. Simultaneously supports triple electrical protection for overload, overcurrent, and overvoltage. When the load exceeds 15% of the rated value, the module automatically triggers power-off protection with a response time of ≤ 100ms

Strong environmental adaptability

The protection level of the body reaches IP65, which can withstand harsh environments such as dust and spray in industrial sites; The core circuit adopts a wide temperature design, with a working temperature range of -30 ℃~70 ℃, meeting the needs of high and low temperature industrial scenarios (such as metallurgical workshops and outdoor port equipment). In addition, the module has the ability to resist electromagnetic interference and has passed EMC electromagnetic compatibility certification. It can operate stably in strong interference environments such as high-voltage motors and frequency converters.

High compatibility and convenient operation and maintenance

Supports mainstream industrial communication protocols such as Profinet and Modbus TCP, and can directly connect to ABB AC500, AC800M and other PLC systems. It is also compatible with third-party automation platforms, without the need for additional protocol conversion modules, reducing system integration costs. Equipped with a 2.4-inch LCD display panel and buttons, it can locally view real-time load data (such as current load value, operating status) and modify control parameters; Simultaneously supporting remote monitoring and fault diagnosis through the upper computer, with built-in fault code storage function, making it easy for operation and maintenance personnel to quickly locate problems.

Flexible scalability

Reserve 2 expansion interfaces, which can be equipped with temperature sensors and pressure sensor modules according to needs, to achieve multi-dimensional monitoring of load operating environment and status; Support multi module parallel control. When the load exceeds the rated capacity of a single module, 2-3 modules can be connected in parallel to achieve collaborative control of larger loads (20-30KN), and the load is automatically distributed during parallel connection to avoid single module overload.

Precautions

1. Selection and configuration precautions

Load matching: Confirm that the actual peak load of the controlled load does not exceed 120% of the module's rated value (10KN). If there is an instantaneous impact load (such as during the start-up phase of heavy equipment), an additional impact coefficient needs to be calculated. If necessary, a higher load level module or a buffer unit can be selected.

Communication adaptation: If you need to connect to non-native protocol systems such as DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP, you need to select the corresponding communication expansion card in advance to avoid protocol incompatibility and network failure; At the same time, confirm the specifications of the communication cable. Profinet communication requires the use of CAT5e or higher shielded twisted pair cables, with a transmission distance not exceeding 100 meters.

Power configuration: Configure the corresponding power cord according to the input voltage type (AC 220V/380V), with a cross-sectional area of not less than 2.5mm ², and a separate 16A air switch is required to avoid voltage fluctuations caused by sharing the circuit with other high-power devices.

2. Key points for installation and maintenance

Installation specifications: When installing on the wall, ensure that the load-bearing capacity of the installation surface is not less than 3 times the weight of the module (≥ 15.6kg) to avoid loose installation; The installation of guide rails requires the use of 35mm standard guide rails, and at least 50mm of heat dissipation space should be reserved on both sides of the module to prevent module overheating in high temperature environments. When wiring, it is necessary to distinguish between power lines (input/output power lines) and control lines (signal cables), with a distance of not less than 10cm between the two to avoid signal interference; The wiring terminals need to be tightened with a torque controlled between 1.2-1.5N · m to prevent false connections from sparking.

Debugging safety: Before the first power on, disconnect the controlled load circuit and only perform no-load debugging on the module. After confirming that the module power supply is normal and the communication connection is stable, connect the load for load testing. When debugging with load, gradually increase the load operating parameters (such as speed and force) to avoid adjusting the parameters to the maximum value at once, which may cause load impact.

Regular maintenance: Clean the surface dust of the module every quarter, check whether the protective shell is damaged, and replace the sealing ring in a timely manner if IP65 protection fails; Check the output accuracy of the module every six months, compare the actual load value with the module display value through a standard load calibrator, and recalibrate if the deviation exceeds ± 1%; Check the fastening of internal wiring terminals every year, replace aging power and control wires, and backup module control parameters to prevent parameter loss.
