axes synchronised system is intended.
The differential outputs are covered for activation of constant valves with integrated or external
electronics (differential input). Intended is this module for the connection of analogue way sensors 0...10V
or 4...20mA (scalable) or digital SSI sensor interfaces.
The internal control signals operating states and error conditions via Profibus to the higher-level control.
The operation is signaled by a switch output.
Typical applications: Positioning control or synchronization control with hydraulic axes.
Features
• Two independent positioning axes
• Can be combined for synchronization controls
• Command position parameter, actual value response, on loop control byte and status byte via
fieldbus Profibus DP
•Principle of stroke-dependent deceleration for the shortest positioning time or NC profile gen-
erator for constant speed

3 Use and application
3.1 Installation instructions
•This module is designed for installation in a shielded EMC housing (control cabinet). All cables
which lead outside must be screened; complete screening is required. It is also a requirement
that no strong electro-magnetic interference sources are installed nearby when using our control
and regulation modules.
•Typical installation location: 24V control signal area (close to PLC)
The devices must be arranged in the control cabinet so that the power section and the signal section are separate from each other.
Experience shows that the installation space close to the PLC (24 V area) is most suitable. All
digital and analogue inputs and outputs are fitted with filters and surge protection in the device.
•The module should be installed and wired in accordance with the documentation bearing in mind
EMC principles. If other consumers are operated with the same power supply, a star- connected
ground wiring scheme is recommended. The following points must be observed when wiring:
• The signal cables must be laid separately from power cables.
• Analogue signal cables must be shielded.
• All other cables must be screened if there are powerful interference sources (frequen-
cy converters, power contactors) and cable lengths > 3m. Inexpensive SMD ferrites
can be used with high-frequency radiation.
• The screening should be connected to PE (PE terminal) as close to the module as
possible. The local requirements for screening must be taken into account in all cases.
The screening should be connected to at both ends. Equipotential bonding must be
provided where there are differences between the connected electrical components.
• With longer lengths of cable (>10 m) the diameters and screening measures should
be checked by specialists (e.g. for possible interference, noise sources and voltage
drop). Particular care is required with cables of over 40 m in length – the manufacturer
should be consulted if necessary.
•A low-resistance connection between PE and the mounting rail should be provided. Transient in-
terference is transmitted from the module directly to the mounting rail and from there to the local
earth.
•Power should be supplied by a regulated power supply unit (typically a PELV system complying
with IEC364-4-4, secure low voltage). The low internal resistance of regulated power supplies
gives better interference voltage dissipation, which improves the signal quality of high-resolution
sensors in particular. Switched inductances (relays and valve coils connected to the same power
supply) must always be provided with appropriate overvoltage protection directly at the coil.

3.2 Typical system structure
This minimal system consists of the following components:
(*1) proportional valve
(*2) hydraulic cylinder
(*3) position sensor
(*4) POS-124-PDP control module
(*5) interface to PLC with analogue and digital signals
3.3 Method of operation
This control module supports simple point-to-point positioning with hydraulic drives. The system works
based on the principle of stroke-dependent deceleration, i.e. the control gain (deceleration stroke) is set
via parameters D:A and D:B. Alternatively the loop gain will be used in NC mode.
The deceleration characteristics can be set linearly (LIN) or approximately quadratically (SQRT1) via the
CTRL parameter. For normal proportional valves SQRT1 is the input setting.
For control valves with a linear flow curve it depends on the application. If LIN is selected for these valves
a significantly shorter deceleration distance can often be set (D:A and D:B).

Positioning sequence:
The positioning is controlled via Profibus. After releasing (ENABLE input), the command
position is set to the actual position of the sensor and the axis stays in closed loop position control
mode. The READY output indicates that the system is generally ready for operation. When setting the
START-signal, the preset command value will be taken over. The axis immediately will drive to this new
command position and indicates reaching it by setting the InPos output.
The InPos output stays active as long as the axis is within the preset InPos window and the START input
is active. The driving velocity is forced by preset parameter, too.
The axis can be driven in manual mode (START is off) using the control bits HAND+ or HAND-. The
velocity is programmable. When the HAND signal is deactivated, the command position is set to the actu-
al position and the system stays in closed loop position control mode.
Setting the synchronous bit (GL) will synchronize both axes and the synchronization controller is overrid-
ing the position controller of axis 2. Axis 2 is now following axis 1 according to the master-slave-principle.
Influences on positioning accuracy:
The positioning accuracy is determined by the hydraulic and mechanical conditions. The right choice of
valve is therefore a decisive factor. In addition, two mutually contradictory requirements (short position
time and high accuracy) must be taken into account when designing the system.
The electronic limitations lie mainly in the resolution of the analogue signals, although with our modules a
resolution of < 0.01% only needs to be considered with long positions. In addition, the linearity of the individual signal points (PLC, sensor and control module) must be considered. The worst-case scenario is
that a system-specific absolute fault occurs.
The repeat accuracy is, however, not affected by this.

3.4 Commissioning
Step Task
Elektronik GmbH
Installation
Switching on for the first
time
Setting up communication
Pre-parameterisation
Control signals
Install the device in accordance with the circuit diagram. Ensure it is wired correctly and that the signals are well shielded. The device must be installed in a metal
protective housing (control cabinet or similar).
Ensure that no unwanted movement is possible in the drive (e.g. switch off the
hydraulics). Connect an ammeter and check the current consumed by the device.
If it is higher than specified there is an error in the cabling. Switch the device off
immediately and check the cabling.
Once the power input is correct the PC (notebook) should be connected to the serial interface. Please see the WPC-300 program documentation for how to set up
communication.
Further commissioning and diagnosis are supported by the operating software.
Now set up the following parameters (with reference to the system design and circuit diagrams):
The STROKE, POSITION, SENSOR SETTING, POLARITY, ACCELERATION
and DECELERATION.
Pre-parameterisation is necessary to minimise the risk of uncontrolled movements.
Parameterise specific settings for the control element (MIN for following error
compensation and MAX for maximum velocity).
Reduce the speed limitation to a value which is uncritical for the application.
Check the control signal with a voltmeter. The control signals (PIN 15 to PIN16
and PIN19 to PIN20) lies in the range of ± 10V. In the current state it should be
0V. Alternatively, if current signals are used, approx. 0 mA should flow.
CAUTION! This signal depends on the EOUT setting.

Switching on the hydraulics

Activating START
Manual (HAND) operation
Optimise controller
Activate the profibus communication and check whether the right values and bits
are send to the module.
The hydraulics can now be switched on. Since the module is not yet generating a
signal the drive should be at a standstill or drift slightly (leave its position at a slow
speed).
CAUTION! The drive can now leave its position and move to an end position at
full speed. Take safety measures to prevent personal injury and damage.
The drive is in the current position (with ENABLE the actual position is accepted
as the required position). Should the drive move to an end position the polarity is
probably wrong.
With the start signal the demand value on the analogue demand value input is accepted and the axis moves to the predefined target position.
If START is disabled the axis stops in the preset deceleration distance D:S.
If START is disabled the axis can be moved manually with HAND+ or HAND- .
After disabling the HAND signal, the axis stops in a controlled manner at the current position.
Now optimise the controller parameters according to your application and your
requirements.
