Delta A2 series

Successful Application: 11 Axis Cutting / profiling machine

Another successful application from our Netherlands distributor Innomotion.

This time is a Woodcutting / Profiling machine with 11 axis control!

Kast

As you can see on the picture our partners use 7 VFD-E drives for transportation and high speed spindle, and 4 servodrives ASDA-A2 400W for the cutting/profiling.
Everything controlled by central CPU with Master CANopen module (DVPCOPM-SL).

Via the PC Cad drawings are imported to the Machine and machine settings are executed. The PLC is controlling all the I/O and servo’s for the motion.
In this machine the wooden boards for the stairs are cut to length , width and angle on front and end of the board. The PC software is written in Labview.

I hope you like it!
And with some luck, you can use it as inspiration for your next project!

Technical Announcement – PNP connection to Delta Servodrive

This is dedicated for European customers.
Mainly PNP is used exclusively in Europe, some machines in Middle East, but America and Asia and completely NPN.
That’s why in the first place our servo drive inputs are only compatible for NPN PLC output (like our Delta PLC’s).

But what happen If my customer is really used to work with his European brand PLC, but he wants to test our servo drives?
In this case we suggest the following PNP connection for ASDA-A2.

Furthermore, in the attached file you will find all the other suggested connections for the other servo drive series.

Announcement: New connector ASD-IF-SC5020 for A2 servodrives series

Tired of soldering connectors?

How irritating it is to sold the DI/DO on A2 servodrive, just for testing, isn´t it?
So, take a look to that connector!

What do you think?

Check the details on the following new product announcement.
And ask for it to your local distributor!

ASDA-A2 and ASDA-B2 motor tuning procedure

As many of you should know, to tune a servo motor is not a piece of cake.
To have a good tune, you have to take care of the load, the inertia, the gearbox, etc..

To help you in this task, Delta provide different kind of tools.

1. ASDA-Sizing
This software is really useful to calculate the interta and the Torque needed of your system.
With this tool you can calculate the power of the motor needed and avoid bad experiences in customer’s hose

You can dowload it for free (as usual) on Delta’s web page.
But If you already installed ASDA Soft, check your computer, because probably it would be there.

2. Autotuning
Depending of the drive the ASDA-Soft have different autotuning tools.
On the video, we adjust (without load) some ASDA-B servodrive

On the other side, for the ASDA-A2 servodrives, our Service team, did the following PDF to help you in that task.

Good tuning for everybody!

EDS Builder

Everytime you need to insert your devices inside some Devicenet or CanOpen network, the master would need some driver.
Those drivers are called EDS files.
That EDS file is different for every drive, and it may be configured depending of the data that we want to send to the master.

Delta have many Inverter and Servodrives models able to communicate trough CANOpen or Devicenet, because of that I would like to introduce you to a software tool to create that specific EDS files for each drive and application.

EDSBuilder V1.01, just released a month ago, we’ll be able to create the EDS file compatible with any brand CANOpen or Devicenet network.
Of course, Delta already have CANOpen master to controll them, but this is another history.

Software EDS Builder V1.01

To use this software, we will need the device to communicate, and some IFD6500 (USB-RS485 converter) to communicate with the device.

And once you have it, just follow the instruction of the following tutorial  “How to create EDS via EDSBuilder”

Motion Control: HMI – PLC – B series Servo (1 axis movements)

There are several ways to control one axis.
But If you need to control position (no speed or torque), the Step & direction way is normally the simplest and cheapest way.
The other advantage is that you don’t have to rack one’s brains thinking if that protocol is going to work or not, Step & direction is universal.

So our intention in this post, is show you the Delta PLC tools to control one axis trough step and direction:

Hardware:
As always the first is how to connect everything.
To communicate PLC and HMI you can check the HMI – 3 PLC Communication Example.
And to know how to connect the B series servodrive with out CPU, just follow the next Schem. (click on the picture to see it bigger)

Configuration:
Basically the configuration of the servo consist in match the servo inputs of the diagram with the internal configuration, but for better comprehension please check this video
Or simply download the configuration file Step & Direction

Software:
Once the hardware and configuration are finished, then you only need to download the following examples of HMI and PLC programs.
In this examples we use three kind of movements:

Relative Movement (DDRVI): We can move our servo some distance without saving any reference. (very useful for moving trays)
Absolute Movement (DDRVA): We can move our servo some distance always having reference where the home is (very useful for linear positioning applications)
Speed Movement (SPD): To mantain the servo in a constant speed. (useful on material handling applications)

One Axis Movements

All the Delta servo drives (and some inverters) have the possibility to manage them trough Step & Direction

Updated: Extended features for DDRVI and DDRVA instructions on the latest firmware versions.

Hannover Messe A2 motion demos 1

As many of you, the last week we have been attending the Hannover Messe. Presenting all the new products that we already presented on this blog. (and many more…)

One of the most interesting things of the Delta IABU stand were the Motion Demos comming from Taiwan.
There were 3, and for the people who can’t visit us these days we will show you a video of all of them.
Today we’ll start with a Demo who shows us how A2 solve the problem of the Cut on the fly applications.

The demo is presented by a good friend of us, Mr. Winex Yang, our Taiwanese expert in Delta Electronics Motion systems.
