Instruction manual ME3816-6B

Characteristics

The characteristics of this product are as shown below.
Product Specifications
  • It is applicable for 3IN/3OUT and NPN/PNP that are the least for the input and output points in all the controllers ever.
  • It is simple specifications with the number of positioning points limited to 2 points at the forward end and backward end only and equipped with 1 signal of input and 1 signal of complete signal only.
  • The encoder is applicable for the incremental 800 pulse optical in the standard type and for the battery-less absolute in the option.
    * The 200V AC servomotor equipped models should be in the battery-less absolute type for 14 bit in standard.
    The ultra mini type is equipped with the incremental 15 bit magnetic type encoder.
    * There is the incremental specification only in the ultra mini type.
    The small grippers (EC-GRC6, GRC7 and GRST3) adopts a magnetic encoder with 14 bits for both incremental and battery-less absolute types.
  • It is applicable for PowerCON in standard. (High Thrust Type, Slim and Small Type and Ultra Mini Type excluded)
  • The unit is equipped with the wireless communication feature to link with a teaching pendant equipped with wireless feature (option).
    BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) is adopted for the wireless communication.
External Interface
  • By having a connector on the cable side of an external interface connector to be a spring terminal type connector, a user can directly lay out the cable to the connector on the cable without using a dedicated cable. Also, the dedicated cable is available as an option.
  • On the side of the connector on the cable side of the external interface connector, there is the terminal name described. With this, wiring work can be easily performed without referring to an instruction manual.
  • The anti-dust and anti-drip specification type is capable of conducting the signal input and output with external devices by using an interface box.
  • For the models equipped with the interface separate type pulse motor and the models equipped with 24V AC servomotor, there are two types of ways to select from as shown below for the interface connection.
  1. Connecting Directly to RCON-EC(*)
  2. Establish connection using an interface box
* When the wireless features are to be used, it is necessary to prepare an interface box equipped with the wireless features separately.
Also, the actuator cable is a pigtail which is capable of connecting directly to RCON-EC. When using an interface box, it is necessary to have a conversion cable separately to connect indirectly.
Hardware configuration
  • There are two types prepared for the power supply circuit.
  1. 24V input 1 system specification (standard) without dividing control power supply and motor power supply
  2. Power supply 2 system specification (option) capable of performing drive cutoff only without cutting off control power supply
  • The construction of PC board is a single layer for the standard type controller and double layer for the slim and small type, dust and splash proof type and high thrust type controllers.
    * The PC board differs for PIO specification (NPN/PNP), power supply 2 system specification (option) and so on.
    Also, the PC board is mounted separately for the digital speed controller specification and RCON-EC specification.
  • The construction of the PC boards for an ultra mini type controller is triple layer and consists of driver board, CPU board and encoder board.
  • The motor power supply in standard, dust and splash proof specification and high-thrust specification are equipped with a semiconductor type drive cutoff circuit. This circuit works also as a high-side overcurrent detection feature.
    * This circuit is not equipped in the slim and small type and ultra mini type.
  • The external interfaces for the types equipped with the 200V AC servomotor should be the same as those equipped with the pulse motor except for the motor power supply connector. It is applicable for the size from 100 to 750W for a motor. Also, the motor power supply (280V DC9 can be provided from the external power supply PSA-200 via the dedicated cable.
Features of Software
  • In the simple data setting window, the position setting can be performed in numeric input. Also, it is available to establish the setting in percentage [%] input individually for AVD (acceleration / velocity / deceleration).
  • With "Operation Sound Tuning", the sound during run and when stop can be tuned without having a complicated servo gain adjustment.
  • It enables a setting to automatically turn the servo off in a set period of time after positioning stop is conducted with "Automatic Servo-off". With this feature, power consumption during operation stop can be reduced and energy saving effects can be expected.
