The operating status of the motor control module is displayed via 12 LEDs.
Note!
Additional Flashing Codes during Module Configuration
Thefollowing status informationrelates onlytothe normalmodeof themotor control module.If
you set themotor control module toconfigurationmodefor parameterization, this is indicated
bymultiple LEDs flashing. Details can be found in the "Commissioning" chapter.
Status Indication for Start/Stop Ramps
Once the AUXexternal auxiliarypower has been switched on, themotor control module first
shows the number of the stored start/stop ramp. For ramps 1 to 7, the ERR2, IN1, and IN2
LEDs indicate a numerical value in binary code byshort flashing. ERR2 LED is the highest

5.1 Storage and Transport
For storage and transport purposes, package the unit using shockproof packaging material
and protect it against moisture. The bestmethod of protection is to package the unit using the
originalpackaging.Furthermore,ensurethattheambientconditionsarewithinallowablerange.
5.2 Unpacking
Check theproduct for damage while unpacking. Inthe event of damage tothe product, inform
the post office or parcel service and notify the supplier.
Retain theoriginal packaging incase the devicemust bestored or shipped again at alater
date.
Should you have any questions, please direct them to Pepperl+Fuchs.
5.3 Connecting the AS-Interface and Auxiliary Power Flat Cable
The motor control module is connected to the AS-Interface network and the AUX auxiliary
powervia the AS-Interfaceflat cable. The yellowflat cable isfor communication and the black
flat cable is for the AUX auxiliary power. The permissible auxiliary power is 18 V ... 30 V.
Contact between the motor control module and flat cables is established via two metal
mandrelsand using insulation piercing technology.Theflat cablesarerouted through ahinged
cable guide. When closed, the cable guide is locked using a locking bracket and can be
opened again without the needsfor tools.
The profiled flat cables havea narrow upper side (with a visibly offset profile edge) and a wide
under side (profile edge not visible). The cable guide allows the flat cables to be inserted on
both sides, for flexible connection of flat cables already laid in cable ducts. However, you must
make sure thatthe profile edge always pointsto the motor controlmodule. Mechanical reverse
polarity protection prevents complete closure of the cable guide if the flat cable is inserted
incorrectly.
13
Caution!
If one is inserted incorrectly, the motor control module will not work.
If theflat cable is inserted in the cable guide inthe wrong direction, thevoltage isinverted. The
motor control module will not work. However,internal electrical reverse polarity protection
protects it againstbreakage.

Adjusting the Motor Speed (P0...P2)
YoucanadjustthespeedforbothmotorssimultaneouslyonlyviatheP0...P2parameterbits.To
do this, you must parameterize one of eight predefined speed values. The speed values
correspond to analog voltagevalues.
If themaster doesnot change the parameter bits when the AS-Interfacenetwork isswitched
on, the eighth speed value (7.26 V) is set per default on the motor control module.
The motor control module issues the set control voltage to the motors via the SPEED control
signal as soon as the motors are switched on via DO0 and DO1 data bits (logical 1). The
control voltage is readjusted bythe motor control module and is thereforeindependent of the
load within certain limits. If the control limits are exceeded dueto an excessive load, the motor
control module issues a peripheralfault.

6.2 Configuration of the Start/StopRamps
Overview
Tocontrol the acceleration and tostop the motors, you can set one of eight defined start/stop
rampsfor the speed signal SPEED. These ramps always apply tobothmotors simultaneously.
The ramp duration corresponds to the time from stopping to reaching the maximum speed or
from themaximum speedup to stopping. The inclinesof the ramps are constant for each of the
eight ramps and independent of the set speed. The reference value for all ramps is the speed
signal SPEED = 10 V.For a lower parameterized speed, the ramp duration is proportionally
shorter.

Commissioning
The ramp is not effectiveif the direction of rotation signal is switched when the motor is active.
In this case, the direction of rotation is reversed immediately.
Note!
Default Setting on Delivery
On delivery, ramp no. 0 (no ramp) is the default setting.
Configuring Start/Stop Ramps
Toadjust a start/stop ramp, youmust change the motorcontrol moduleto configuration mode.
The motor control module stores a new ramp set in theinternal nonvolatile memory.This ramp
isactivated automatically every timethe motoris switched on. Youcan reconfigure a ramp as
often asrequired.
A prerequisite for configuration is that the flat cables for the AS-Interface and AUX are
connected. Communication must already betaking place between the master andmotor
control module.
Note!
Configuration Mode Display via LEDs
If themotor control module isin configurationmode, theMOT1, MOT2, ERR1, ERR2, IN1, IN2
LEDs flash simultaneously with a frequency of approx. 2 Hz.
The configuration sequence consists of nine steps.Defined data and parameter values are
transmitted between the master and the motor control module via the DO0...DO2, DI0...DI3
data bits andthe P0..P2parameter bits. The master must keep the dataand parameter bits
constant for at least 10 msfor each step.Longer intervals are possible as long as a period of
10 s is not exceeded for steps one to six.
The configuration of a new start/stop ramp runs in the following phases:
■ In steps one to six, the master sends parameter values to the motor control module to
activate configuration mode (max. 10s). DO0.. DO2 must have thevalue "4" ineach step.
■ If theparameter sequence was correct, themotor control module responds to themaster
via DI0.. DI2 on the last parameter value with "Chex." This response indicates that
configuration mode is activated. The six MOT1..IN1 LEDsflash.
■ Instep seven, the master sends the selected ramp no. tothe motor control module via
DO0..DO2.
■ Instep eight, the master sends the parameter value "4" to the motor control module via
P0..P2. The motor control module stores the ramp number in the nonvolatile memory. It
responds to the master with "AHex" via DI0 ..DI2.
■ In step nine, the master exits configuration mode. The master sends data value "4" via
DO0...DO2 and data value "7" via P0.. P2. The motor control module switches to normal
mode. The six MOT1..IN1 LEDs stopflashing.
Note!
Sequence for Command Transmission
For each step, you generally send the data value via DO0.. D02 first and then the parameter
value P0.. P2. The following table showsthe contexts of communication between themaster
and motor control module. The value "x" represents any of the values in the table.

Sequence for Configuring a Start/Stop Ramp
Send the following data values and parameter values to the motor control module:
1. Inaccordancewithstepsonetosix,foreachstepsendthedatavalue"4"viaDO0...DO2and
thenvia P0...P2, a value of the parameter string 3,1,6,3,1,6 one after the other.
2. If configuration mode isactive, sendthe required ramp number via DO0...DO2 and the
parameter value "6" via P0...P2 as step seven.
3. As step eight, send the ramp number again via DO0...DO2 and parameter value "4" via
P0...P2.
4. As step nine, send datavalue "0" via DO0...DO2 and parameter value "7" via P0...P2.
The motor control module has stored the newstart/stop ramp and switched back to
normal mode.

Troubleshooting during Configuration
The following table describes the behavior of the motor control moduleif afault occurs during
the nine-step configurationprocess.
Fault Scenarios
Step
Possible fault
Motor control module reaction
1 to 6
■ Incorrect dataor parameter values or
■ steps 1 to 6 take longer than 10 s
Motorcontrol module remains in normal mode
7 or 8
Incorrect data or parameter values
■ Motor control module responds with "Ehex"
via DI0 ... DI3 and remains inconfiguration
mode.
■ The motor control module switches to
normal mode only when the master sends
"0" via DO0 ... DO2 and "7" via P0... P2.
■ If "0" or "7" has already been set by the
master in one of these steps, the motor
control module switches to normal mode
immediately without sending a response.
The stored ramp is notchanged.
