Start-up operation

For applications requiring unattended operation, the 1336 PLUS II can resume operation when power is restored after a power failure.

If the Power On Run feature is activated and the input power supply is disconnected, then when the power is restored

The drive will automatically restart and run at the current commanded speed if all the necessary signals

(Enable, Auxiliary, No Stop and Start) are present.

4-20mA Current Loss Option

Many control systems will issue a 4-20mA control signal for the drive to use as a speed reference.

The drive will run at the lowest speed with the 4mA signal and at the highest speed with the 20mA signal.

The drive can also invert this signal to run the minimum speed at 20mA and the maximum speed at 4mA.

Since a minimum signal of 4mA is required, the drive must have a ‘fallback’ command

in the event of signal loss (sensor failure or disconnection).

The 1336 PLUS II includes a ‘Loss Selection’ parameter that provides five choices for signal failure modes.

1. stop the drive and signal a fault.

2. Go to minimum speed and issue a warning.

3. Go to maximum speed and issue a warning.

4. Maintain speed and issue a warning.

5. reaches preset speed and warns.

Function Description

Traverse Function

The 1336 PLUS II output frequency can be programmed to modulate around a set frequency.

This can be achieved by setting three parameters to create an inertia compensated delta waveform

– Traverse Period, Maximum Traverse, and P Jump. In surface drive winding applications,

the developed waveforms can be used in a traverse drive to electronically perform the traverse function.

The traverse actuator will move the yarn back and forth in a diamond pattern so that

the yarn is evenly distributed over the surface of the tube.

This pattern must be changed in order to prevent yarn build-up at the same points on the surface.

This can be achieved by constantly continuously changing the traverse speed in a cyclic

manner over a specified speed range. Using inertia compensation, a series of distributed diamond

patterns can be formed over the entire surface of the tube.

Start-up operation

For applications requiring unattended operation, the 1336 PLUS II can resume operation when power is restored after a power failure.

If the Power On Run feature is activated and the input power supply is disconnected, then when the power is restored

The drive will automatically restart and run at the current commanded speed if all the necessary signals

(Enable, Auxiliary, No Stop and Start) are present.

High Level Motion Functions

As shown in the figure below, the IMC-S/23x can produce motion on

any axis in many different ways. The indexer moves an axis using

either a trapezoidal, parabolic, or S-curve (controlled jerk) velocity

profile. Axis velocity, acceleration, and deceleration are programma

ble. Backlash compensation allows precise positioning in the pres

ence of mechanical backlash. The jogger produces constant speed

motion of an axis in either direction with programmable velocity,

acceleration and deceleration.

Electronic gearing allows any axis to be slaved to another axis (the

master) at a specified ratio. Electronic cams produce coordinated

motion profiles which are functions of time or the position of another

axis. Electronic gearing and cam motion may be combined with move

and jog motions to create complex motion profiles and synchroniza

tions. Motion merge capabilities allow smooth transitions between all

types of motion, thus providing a software clutch.

Two independent interpolators for all axes allow any two or three

axes to be moved as a group along a linear, circular or helical path.

Motions from the two interpolators may be combined with each other

or with other types of motion.

Model Number Explanation

The IMC-S/23x is available as a two- or four-axis motion controller

with optional Remote I/O and AxisLink. The complete model number

is specified as shown below.

Pre-engineered cable assemblies are used for connecting the Flex I/O,

servo amplifiers, feedback devices, axis-specific (dedicated) I/O,

CPU watchdog, and the 4100-REC. The table below shows the avail

able cable assemblies.

Electronic gearing allows any axis to be slaved to another axis (the

master) at a specified ratio. Electronic cams produce coordinated

Application programming of the IMC-S/23x for any application is

accomplished with GML, the exclusive Graphical Motion Control

Language from Allen-Bradley. Using GML, over 100 different

commands are available to completely customize operation of the

IMC-S/23x for your specific application. Complete application pro

grams are downloaded to the IMC-S/23x via a field-configurable

RS-232C or RS-422 port where they are stored in non-volatile mem

ory (write-protected battery-backed RAM). Complete hookup diag

nostics and automatic servo setup routines for self-tuning the servo

parameters make setting up the IMC-S/23x quick and easy.

A dedicated serial port—which can be field-configured for RS-232C,

RS-422. or Allen-Bradley DH-485 communications—is provided for

the man-machine interface (MMI). Connection of the MMI device is

via an AT-compatible DB-9 connector (RS-232C or RS-422) or

RJ-45 connector (DH-485), both located on the front panel.

The Remote I/O option allows the IMC-S/23x to communicate with

other Allen-Bradley devices via Remote I/O. The motion controller

can communicate directly with an A-B PLC® using both discrete and

block transfers. The AxisLink option allows axes on other IMC S

Class controllers or ALECs (AxisLink Encoder Converter modules)

to be used as master axes for electronic gearing and cams.
