About This Manual
Purpose of this Manual
The purpose of this manual is to:
- Identify the components and ports available on a module
- Provide guidelines for proper installation and wiring
- Provide examples on basic inter-module connections
- Introduce TwinCAT software tool and provide instructions to configure and modify parameters
Who Should Use this Manual?
This manual is intended for users who need basic product information and simple application procedures to implement MotionLinx-Ai modules with Senergy Ai motors and/or MotionLinx-IO modules with digital I/O.
You should have a basic understanding of electrical circuitry and familiarity with relay logic, BLDC motors, etc. If you do not, obtain the proper training before using this product.
Symbol Conventions
!This symbol indicates that special attention should be paid in order to ensure correct use as well as to avoid danger, incorrect application of product, or potential for unexpected results
*This symbol indicates important directions, notes, or other useful information for the proper use of the products and software described herein
*The “left” and “right” naming convention for the module ports is based upon facing the front of the MotionLinx-Ai/MotionLinx-IO and is not to be confused with direction of product flow for a conveyor application. For conveyor applications, product flow will be designated as “upstream” and “downstream”
Important User Information
!Modules contain ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) sensitive parts and components. Static control precautions are required when installing, testing, servicing or replacing these modules. Component damage may result if ESD control procedures are not followed. If you are not familiar with static control procedures, reference any applicable ESD protection handbook. Basic guidelines are:
• Touch a grounded object to discharge potential static
• Wear an approved grounding wrist strap
• Do not touch connectors or pins on component boards
• Do not touch circuit components inside the equipment
• Use a static-safe workstation, if available
• Store the equipment in appropriate static-safe packaging when not in use
!Because of the variety of uses for the products described in this publication, those responsible for the application and use of this control equipment must satisfy themselves that all necessary steps have been taken to assure that each application and use meets all performance and safety requirements, including any applicable laws, regulations, codes, and standards
!The illustrations, charts, sample programs and layout examples shown in this guide are intended solely for purposes of example. Since there are many variables and requirements associated with any particular installation, Pulseroller does not assume responsibility or liability (to include intellectual property liability) for actual use based on the examples shown in this publication
!Reproduction of the contents of this manual, in whole or in part, without written permission of Pulseroller is prohibited
Not Included in this Manual
!Because system applications vary; this manual assumes users and application engineers have properly sized their power distribution capacity per expected motor loading and expected operational duty cycle. Please refer to conveyor equipment and/or motor roller manufacturer’s documentation for power supply sizing recommendations
