2DS22-6113 / (2017-08)
System concept
The positioning drives belong to the product group
PowerDRIVE-Positioning and are a component of the
PowerDRIVE system.
Each positioning drive in the GEL 6113 series is an
intelligent adjustment unit for pushing onto the end of a
shaft or for attachment to a shaft or spindle.
The positioning drive can be integrated directly into a plant
control system via the communication interfaces
integrated.
PowerDRIVE-System
The PowerDRIVE-System is suitable for the efficient
integration of several positioning drives in a machine or
plant. The system consists of the following components:
PowerDRIVE-Positioning:
Positioning drive for fully automatic format adjustment
PowerDRIVE-Motion:
Positioning drive for cyclic operation
PowerDRIVE-Box:
Decentral control unit for up to 5 drives
PowerDRIVE-Connect:
Single cable concept (hybrid cable suitable for drag
chain)
PowerDRIVE-Lib:
Ready-made function blocks for integration in the
machine control system
PowerDRIVE-Support Tool:
Software for advanced commissioning and configuration
The usage of PowerDRIVE-Box and PowerDRIVE-
Connect significantly reduces the cabling effort for the
positioning drives. Instead of the usual two separate
cables for internal bus communication and a third cable to
supply power to the positioning drives, only ONE hybrid
cable suitable for use in drag chains is connected. In the
maximum configuration with 5 positioning drives
connected, the number of cables typically reduces from 15
to 5 due to PowerDRIVE-Connect. With the aid of the
PowerDRIVE-Box the overall system offers a high degree
of flexibility during integration, as it supports all common
communication interfaces.
Construction
The PowerDRIVE-Positioning GEL 6113 is operated with a
supply voltage of 24 V DC and supports fieldbus profiles
(CANopen (CiA 402); PROFIBUS-DP (V0/V1)) and
Industrial Ethernet protocols (Sercos III; POWERLINK;
PROFINET IO / RT; EtherCAT; EtherNet/IP).
PowerDRIVE-Connect is available with either a plug
connection or hybrid cable.
The rigid housing made of anodised aluminium is
particularly robust and achieves the degree of protection
IP 67 due to the Viton shaft sealing ring.
The positioning drive is equipped with mechanical manual
adjustment so that the positioning drive can be actuated if
there is a fault, e.g. a power failure.
A USB service connector is accessible on the rear of the
device for service purposes.
The device variants with integrated fieldbus (CANopen
(CiA 402); PROFIBUS-DP (V0/V1)) have rotary selection
switches for setting the device ID and baud rate, as well as
an onboard joystick. The positioning drive can be operated
in the set-up mode using the joystick without prior PLC
programming. All elements are accessible on the rear of
the device.
Integrated absolute rotary encoder
A magnetic-absolute multiturn rotary encoder makes
reference search routines after a power failure or
emergency stop unnecessary. Due to the batteryless
encoder, the positioning drive detects its position after
power on and is immediately ready for use.
In the switched off state the drive shaft can be moved by
±57 turns without loss of the absolute position.
The absolute rotary encoder withstands high shock/
vibration loads.
