4.2 Slot-PLC
The PLC is a user-friendly interface between customer interface and ACOPOS drive. It provides the required
movement commands at the correct time. Positions and Drive – Sequences are handled and stored by the
Slot-PLC.
The Slot-PLC is available in two different versions:
- AC140: with user interface Profibus
- AC141: with user interface CAN-Bus (also for DeviceNet)
The following interfaces are standard included in both PLCs:
- RS232
- Ethernet
- 1 digital Output / 2 Inputs
- CAN-Interface for internal connection of the drives an the I/O-Module
The Data is stored on an integrated CompactFlash – memory card. Additionally, there is a battery buffered
static ram disc available, where for example the part counter and the counter of operating hours is stored. For
parameterization of the software on the Slot-PLC there is a Windows – Program provided. For example the
load, positions and drive sequences can be adjusted by this program. The connection between Windows-PC
(Laptop) and Slot-PLC is via serial interface (RS232) or via Ethernet.
The PLC - Software supports the following operating modes:
- reference run
- jogging mode
- machine zero point teaching
- position teaching
- move to position 1...127 (absolute or relative)
- 32 sequences each with 32 commands
- 8 freely programmable cams
- 8 Outputs for free use
- 8 Inputs for free use
