LX3V-4PG - Wecon

= **1 Introduction** =

The LX3V-4PG is pulse generator unit which has four channels. Each channel can control positioning of an axis independently. It works by sending specified quantity of pulses (200 kHz maximum) to Server controller or step motors.

4

5

The LX3V-4PG is an extension module of LX3V series PLC, which transfers data with the PLC using the FROM/TO instructions.

6

7

There are two versions for LX3V-4PG, one is LX3V-4PGA (Advanced), and the other is LX3V-4PGB (Basic). Please get more detail from [BFM description]

**[BFMs #5 and #4] Maximum speed V,,max,,**

276

277

Motor system and combined system: 1 to 200,000 Hz

278

279

This is the setting of maximum speed. Make sure that the bias speed (BFM #6), the JOG speed (BFMs #7 and #8), the speed of home position return (BFMs #9 and #10), the creep speed (BFM #11), the operating speed (I) (BFMs #19 and #20) and the operating speed (II) (BFMs #23 and #24) should be equal to or less than the maximum speed. The degree of acceleration/deceleration is determined by this maximum speed, the bias speed (BFM #6), the acceleration time (BFM #15) and the deceleration time (BFM#16).

280

281

**[BFM #6] Bias speed V,,bia,,**

282

283

The range is 0 to 10,000Hz

284

285

This is the bias speed for start. When the LX3V-4PG and the stepper motor works together, it is necessary to set a value while considering the resonance area and the self-start frequency of the stepper motor

286

287

**[BFMs #8 and #7] JOG speed V,,JOG,,**

288

289

The range is 1 to 100,000Hz

290

291

This is the speed for manual forward/reverse (JOG+/JOG-). It should be between the bias speed V,,bia,, and the maximum speed V,,max,,

292

293

**[BFMs #10 and #9] The speed of home position return (high speed) V,,RT,,**

294

295

The range is 10 to 100,000Hz

296

297

This is the speed (high speed) for returning to home position. It should be between the bias speed V,,bia,, and the maximum speed V,,max,,.

298

299

**[BFM #11] The speed of home position return (creep) V,,CR,,**

300

301

This is the speed (extremely slow speed) after the ear point signal (DOG) for returning to home position. It is instantaneous velocity before stopping at home position. Slower speed could get high precision of home positioning.

**[BFMs#14 and #13] Home position HP**

304

305

Motor system: 0 to ±999,999 PLS. Machine system and combined system: 0 to ±999,999

* 00 indicates the corresponding BFM No. For example, “172" indicates that the BFMs #18 and #17 are set to 0. “043" indicates that the BFMs #5 and #4 are set to a value outside the range.

427

428

When a speed command specifies a value equivalent to or more than V max or a value equivalent to or less than Vbia, error does not occur. V max or Vbia is used for operation. Though the ready status can be specified even while an error is present, the start command is not accepted.

**Machine home position return operation**

444

445

When the home position start command is received, the motor makes the machine return to the home position. When returning to the home position is completed, the home position HP (BFMs #14 and #13) value is written to the current position CP (BFMs #27 and #26).

* A dog whose length is L is fixed to a table driven in the left and right direction by a servo motor via a ball thread.

464

* When the table moves in the home position return direction, the dog is in contact with the limit switch (LSD) for near point detection, and the LSD is actuated.

465

* The LSD is turned ON from OFF when the BFM #3 b12 is set to 0, and turned OFF from ON when the BFM #3 b12 is set to 1.

466

* The home position return direction is determined by the BFM #3 b9 (rotation direction) and b10 (home position return direction).

467

* The limit switch LSD is often referred to as dog switch. The actuation point of the dog switch is rather dispersed.

468

**Home Position Return Operation**

470

471

The home position return operation varies depending on the start position.

1. The near point signal is turned off (before the DOG passes).

477

1. The near point signal is turned on.

478

1. The near point signal is turned off (after the DOG has passed).

479

480

For this operation, the limit switches for detecting the forward limit and the reverse limit should be provided on the PC.

481

482

When the limit switch for limit detection is actuated, the home position return operation is not performed even if the home position return operation is started. Move the dog by performing the JOG operation so that the limit switch for limit detection is not actuated, then start the home position returns operation.

483

484

1. The example above shows the case where the BFM #3 b12 is set to 0 (DOG input polarity OFF→ON).

485

1. When the limit switch for limit detection is turned on, the pulse output is immediately stopped (BFM #25 b3: ON). At this time, the clear signal is also output.

487

[[image:LX3V-4PG_html_12fc794d28fc726.png||class="img-thumbnail"]] **When the stepper motor is used**

488

489

When the stepper motor is used, rigid attention should be paid to the following items.

490

491

1. If the motor capacity is not sufficient compared with the load torque, the motor may stall. In such a case, even if the specified quantity of pulses are supplied the motor, the expected drive quantity may not be obtained.

492

1. Start and stop the motor slowly enough (by setting a long acceleration/deceleration time to the BFM #15) so that the acceleration/ deceleration torque does not become excessive.

493

1. A resonance point is present in low speed operation. It is recommended to avoid this point. Set the bias speed (BFM #6), and do not perform operation at a speed slower than that.

494

1. An external power supply may be required for signal communication with the drive amplifier

495

496

**Single-Speed Positioning Operation**

497

498

When the start command is given, the motor accelerates up to the operating speed V (I) (BFMs #20 and #19), then decelerates and stops in the set position P(I) (BFMs #18 and #17).

507

508

When the start command is received, the motor starts operation. When the INTERRUPT input is received, the motor moves by the specified distance, then stops (The relative travel exclusively can be specified.) The current value is cleared by the start command. The current value starts to change by the INTERRUPT input, and becomes equivalent to the set position when the operation is completed.

514

515

The motor performs the following operation by the two-speed positioning operation command. Approach at high speed as well as processing and moving forward at low speed can be performed. When the start command is received, the motor performs positioning at the operating speed V(I) (BFMs #20 and #19) until the set position P(I) (BFMs #18 and #17), then at the operating speed V(II) (BFMs #24 and #23) until the set position P(II) (BFMs #22 and #21) (two-step speed).

516

517

**Variable Speed Operation**

518

519

* When the operation command BFM #25 b12 is set to 1, the speed pulses specified in the BFMs (#20 and #19) are generated.

520

* This operating speed can be freely changed even while pulses are generated. However, acceleration and deceleration must be controlled by the PC.

521

* Only b0 (error reset) and b12 (variable speed operation) of the operation command BFM #29 are valid in this mode.

522

523

When b12 is set to 1, variable speed operation is performed.

524

525

When b12 is set to 0, pulse output is stopped.

* The pulse output does not stop even if “0” is written in BFM #21, #20

531

* As for the parameter BFM #3, only b1 and b0 (system of units) and b8 (pulse output format) are valid.

= **12 Common Matter for Operation Modes** =

541

542

**Handling the stop command**

543

544

In all operation modes, the stop command is valid at any time during operation. However, if a stop command is received during a positioning operation, the motor decelerates and stops. And after restarting, the motor doesn't travel by the remaining distance, but the next positioning operation.

545

546

**About multiple commands**

547

548

When the bits which determine operation modes such as b4, b5 and b8, b10 are turned on simultaneously in the operation command BFM #25, any operation is not executed. If other mode input is turned on while operation is being performed in any mode, such an input is neglected.

549

550

**When travel time is small**

551

552

When the travel time is small compared to the acceleration/deceleration time (Ta), the motor cannot realize specified speed.

570

571

Various limit switch inputs are connected to the DOG input and the X input in accordance with the operation mode.

573

The polarity of these limit switch inputs is inverted by the state of the BFM #3 b12 and b6.

574

575

To assure safety, provide limit switches for detecting the forward and reverse limits on the servo amplifier also.

576

577

Make sure so that the limit switches on the PLC are actuated simultaneously with or a little earlier than the limit switches on the servo amplifier.

578
