APPLICATIONS
   
The XC1 controller (eXtended Controller class 1) is a powerful and complete device, designed expressely to satisfy any requirement in automation and motion control. XC1 provides, as an unique product, many features allowing the user to build automation solutions that otherwise would require several interconnected devices, thus increasing costs and overall dimensions, raising interfacing issues and annoyances.
 
 
     
FEATURES
 
  • CPU with 32/64Kbytes flash memory, RAM and EEPROM embedded
  • serial port RS232 and RS422/485 multidrop, speed 115200 bit/s; optional Ethernet interface
  • 16x2 characters LCD display, for parameter setup, status display, alarms and so on
  • built-in navigation keyboard, featuring UP, DOWN, ENTER and ESC keys
  • all parameters are accessible via serial port; the free XC1 Manager software allows total control over the device, like parameter setup, motor start/stop, programming of the embedded PLC, device status reading, input/output monitoring and forcing
  • embedded PLC, programmable via instruction list or ladder logic; boolean and mathematical functions, timers and registers are provided for maximum flexibility
  • 12 digital inputs, 24Vcc PNP or NPN
  • 16 digital outputs, 24Vcc 1A PNP or NPN, depending on the model
  • 4 analog inputs, 0..10V
  • 1 analog output, 0..10V
  • input/output expandibility, by mean of add-on modules
  • preloaded software suitable for the most common labeling functions, such as applicator and label printer control, predistribution, handling of label queue, end roll and print signal, Assist control and so on; the functionality is implemented using the embedded PLC, thus allowing full modification, deletion and custom integration in order to achieve the desired behaviour
  • supply: 30Vac 250VA
  • 4A stepper motor drive, fully parametrized via keyboard or serial port, featuring:
    • two function modes: start/stop or positioner; in the start/stop mode the motor start and stop are controlled by digital inputs or the serial port; in the positioner mode the motor start is controlled by a digital input or the serial port, then the motor rotates until the desired steps are executed and then it stops. Configurable ramps are provided for motor start and stop
    • speed up to 3000 rpm, defined via parameter setting or proportional to an analog input, which can be connected to a potentiometer or to a speed reference coming from a transportation line
    • acceleration and deceleration ramps separately configurable, from 0,1s to infinite
    • full-step (200 step/turn) and half-step (400 step/turn)
    • current from 0 to 4A, parameter controlled
    • standby mode with current reduction: the standby can be activated/deactivated, the intervention time after the last move can be configured, as well as the standby current; the standby allows to reduce the current consumption while the motor is not running, thus helping the power saving and allowing to decrease the heat dissipation
    • a move sequence can be defined; the sequence is a list of moves, and each move has its own speed, ramp, direction, steps to move; a digital input or a command from the serial port starts the sequence execution; the sequence can be executed one time or continuously, until a stop generated by a digital input or the serial port
    • external clock input provided, to drive the motor from an indipendent clock source
    • an encoder input allows the connection of an incremental encoder, useful to synchronize the motor speed to the production line
  • the 4A drive can be replaced with other models, capable of more current
       
 
CONNECTIVITY
 
An optional LAN module can be installed to accomplish the maximum connectivity; the module features an Ethernet 10/100 port with RJ45 connector and an RS422/485 port to connect an XC1 subnet. The LAN module is assigned an IP address useful to access the module itself throughout the LAN.
The XC1 Manager software allows to communicate with all the connected units, as well as programming and configure them.
