Preface
ESD notices
Electrostatic Sensitive Devices
Components which can be destroyed by electrostatic discharge are individual
components, integrated circuits or boards which, when handled, tested or
transported, could be destroyed by electrostatic fields or electrostatic
discharge. These components are designated as ESDS (ElectroStaticDischarge Sensitive Devices).
Handling of modules containing devices sensitive to electrostatic discharge:
S When handling components which can be destroyed by electrostatic
discharge, it must be ensured that personnel, the workstation and
packaging are well grounded,.
S As a general principle, electronic modules should only be touched if this is
absolutely unavoidable (owing to repair work, etc.).
S Touch components only if
-you are constantly grounded by an antistatic armband,
-you are wearing ESD boots or ESD boots with grounding strips in
conjunction with ESD flooring.
S Modules may be placed only on electrically conductive surfaces (table with
The NCU 573.2 of the SINUMERIK 840D is capable of handling axis configurations of a maximum of 31 axes on up to 10 different channels. This functional
sophistication makes the SINUMERIK 840D an increasingly popular system for
the automation of rotary indexing machines. These machines are often highly
compact in design and frequently equipped with hydraulic axes (cylinders and
servo solenoid valves). The hydraulics (HLA) module provides a means of controlling hydraulic axes directly from the SINUMERIK 840D system via the digital
drive bus.
The HLA module is a closed-loop control plug-in unit of the modular
SIMODRIVE 611 converter system mounted in a 50 mm carrier module
(universal empty housing).
The gating and closed-loop control electronics for operating controlled hydraulic
drives are integrated on the HLA module.
From the point of view of the manufacturer of modern servo solenoid valves, an
innovative step in the field of hydraulic drive systems has been taken by treating
electric and hydraulic drives as equal partners and integrating them into a standard NC.
To place equal emphasis on the functional importance of both hydraulic and
electric drives and make them available as a combined system within an interpolating axis grouping.
S Firmware
The communications interface is compatible with the SIMODRIVE 611D
SRM(FDD)/ARM(MSD) for supported services. Code and data management
is analogous to the SIMODRIVE 611D SRM(FDD)/ARM(MSD). The hydraulics software is stored as a separate program code in the control system.
S Hardware
The mode of integration into the SIMODRIVE 611 system is compatible with
the SIMODRIVE 611 digital SRM(FDD)/ARM(MSD). This basically involves
the following interfaces:
-Drive bus
-Device bus
-Power supply system

Guide mechanism
Friction
Hydrodynamic and hydrostatic slideways or roller slideways allow machine
slides and tables to move in straight lines with minimum friction and maximum
precision.
A degree of friction can be very useful for damping oscillations.
However, excessive friction, especially pronounced transitions from static to
sliding friction, have a negative effect on the control result and impair the control
loop stability.
1.3 Structure of an electro-hydraulically-controlled drive axis
Construction
Quality criteria
The cylinder represents the simplest form of linear motor and can be integrated
easily into the machine guide. The cylinder normally has a piston rod at one
end.
The following are critical quality criteria:
S The surface quality of barrel and piston rod and
S The seals and guides (low-friction, servo quality...).
1.3.3Servo solenoid valve
Task
Function
This is the final control element in the closed control loop and forms the electrohydraulic converter.
The valve steplessly converts electrical signals into a hydraulic flow.
Its quality is defined by static and dynamic parameters, such as
S Zero overlap
S Hysteresis
S Limit frequency, etc.
1.3.4Valve amplifier
This circuit contains the power electronics for the solenoid in the servo solenoid
valve which adjusts the valve spool position.
The position controller in the valve amplifier (on-board electronics - OBE) controls the position of the valve spool proportionally to the output value
(U=0..."10 V).
1.3.5Shutoff valve
Shut-off valves are used to add safety functions to a valve control with servo
solenoid valve. Shut-off valves can prevent uncontrolled motion of the cylinder.
1.3.6Position measuring system
Task
The position measuring system supplies the actual value for the position of the
moving machine element.

Function
The speed is acquired by continuous differentiation of the distance over time.
Various systems are available depending on the level of accuracy required.
The highest accuracy requirements are fulfilled by digital systems (glass scale
with photoelectric evaluation circuit) mounted directly on the machine.
The most widely used digital incremental systems require a reference point approach at the beginning of a machining operation.
1.3.7SINUMERIK 840D/SIMODRIVE 611 digital
SINUMERIK controls and SIMODRIVE drive systems are specially designed for
machine tools, manipulators and special-purpose machines.
The numerical control processes the machine program and converts it into control commands. It also monitors command execution continuously.
The control structures for the electrohydraulic control loop and the interfaces to
S the shutoff valve,
S the servo solenoid valve,
S the position measuring system and
S the central arithmetic logic unit
are all provided by the HLA module.
The HLA module is an integral component of the SINUMERIK 840D and
SIMODRIVE 611 digital systems.
A range of different NCU modules with graded scope of functions is provided to
allow the SINUMERIK 840D system to be tailored to the varying functional requirements of machines. The control can therefore be optimally adapted to individual machines and machining applications and is suitable for equipping standardized machine series.
1.3.8Hydraulic power unit
This unit supplies hydraulic energy.
It is installed at a distance from the drive axis. Accumulators are employed to
compensate for strongly fluctuating hydraulic energy requirements and to minimize the installed power.
2.1.1Procedure for configuring electrical components
The procedure for configuring an HLA module is divided into steps in such a
way that the user is guided through the full range of relevant settings, from the
required force, to the hydraulics components, and finally the HLA and its encoder evaluation circuitry. This initial configuring phase may be followed by a
second in some cases, in which the corresponding circuit recommendations
and EMC measures are taken into account.
The functions of SIMODRIVE components are described with keywords in this
Planning Guide. Limit values for functions may be specified in some cases.
For further details (e.g. characteristics), please refer to the Installation and
Start-Up Guides for SIMODRIVE 611 digital and SINUMERIK 840 digital.

2.1.2Procedure for configuring hydraulic components
Hydraulically controlled drives are normally configured by the technical sales
and marketing personnel of the hydraulics supplier (e.g. Bosch
Rexroth, see Chapter 8) in close co-operation with the machine manufacturer.
This configuring phase is divided into the following steps:
S Selection of the cylinder on the basis of forces and velocities required and
the cylinder mounting conditions in the machine
(see Subsection 2.3.1).
Section 2.2
Appendix
S Selection of the servo solenoid valves on the basis of the cylinder data,
forces, velocities and dynamic requirements (see Subsection 2.3.2, 2.3.3).
S Selection of the position measuring system and optionally the pressure sen-
sors with regard to the measuring range, accuracy and linearity (see Section
7.1, 7.3).
S Dimensioning of the hydraulic power unit, taking all loads into account (see
Subsection 2.3.5).
S Calculation of the natural frequency of the drive for an initial assessment of
whether the expected control result can be achieved (see Subsection 2.3.4).
S In difficult cases, it may be worthwhile carrying out a dynamic simulation of
the drive as an aid to configuration.
The basic data required to design a system are obtained from a question-

General
Hydraulic drives are generally configured by technical sales personnel from the
hydraulics supplier, Rexroth.
The configuration is based on the data from the questionnaire in
Subsection 2.1.2 .
Please refer to Appendix A for a description of hydraulic components.
The hydraulic drive is configured in the sequence of steps described below.
2.3.1Cylinder selection
Piston and rod
diameter
The piston and rod diameters are calculated according to Pascal’s theorem on
the basis of the necessary compressive and tensile forces F and a standard
pressure value of P=40...100 bar for machine tools (a maximum pressure setting of 350 bar is permitted).
The force value calculation must include friction and acceleration forces
as well as the actual feed force. Pistons and rods with the following standard
diameter dimensions are available:
