4.4 Pin Assignment Han 32 E for MC870 Z II

(Connector X6, CNC/SPS- Connection)

The in - and outputs of the MC870 Z II are guided out-
side via the connector X6. The signals are devided
into in - and outputs. Each signal is a 24 V / 20 mA in -
or output.
Precitec delivers a corresponding loose connector for
a customized wiring.
For safety reasons the inputs (I) of the connector X6
are laid on pins (PIN 1 - PIN 16) and the outputs are
laid on sockets (PIN 17 - PIN 32). The meaning of
each signal is explained in chapter 11.1.
The pin assignment is shown in Fig. 4.7.

In the automatic mode the concerned actual nozzle
standoff is traversed by the linear drive.

Description: Three different nozzle standoffs can be

Input device: Remote control HBG316/316 Z
Value range: 3 – 97 % of the measuring range
Default: 1 mm
Application: When working close to an edge a
wrong measured value for the distance
could be generated. It is possible to
compensate this at critical positions by
a larger nozzle standoff. In order to
avoid damage on the optics a larger
nozzle standoff can be selected when
piercing.
Proposal for the usage of the programmable nozzle
standoffs:
The new nozzle standoff is entered. Afterwards the
remote control goes to the initial state. Corrections are
performed by CLEAR and a new input. If no value was
entered the old value remains valid.
The way of proceeding is the same for the nozzle stan-
doffs (zn2) and (zn3).

(I)nput/ Explanation
I System is set activ. If this input is not set, there is no traversing action!!
I System moves to the intended distance (1, 2 or 3)
I Nozzle standoff distance 2 selected and approached by setting ‘Auto-
matic’
I Nozzle standoff distance 3 selected and approached by setting ‘Auto-
matic’
I When ‘Measuring range 2’ is activated distance control is inactiv. This
allows a second distance value, at which the FAR Signal is switched
on, to be set for special measuring needs. ‘Measuring range 2’
(distance value) can be configured via remote control during calibrati-
on. Example: ‘Measuring range 2’ is set to 15 mm, while the normal
measuring range used during the cutting process is 10 mm.
I System moves to ‘Programmed Position’ (adjustable via remote con-
trol)
I Linear drive moves upwards (velocity adjustable via remote control)
I Linear drive moves downwards (velocity adjustable via remote control)
I Creeping mode activated. By activating the signal ‘Creeping’ the
movement of the linear drive can be executed with decreased velocity
(velocity adjustable via remote control)
I common 0 V-connection for the I/O-wiring
I Limit detection circuit (24 V) opens, if limit switches are reached. (input
for 24 V circuit from customer)
O Limit detection circuit (24 V) opens, if limit switches are reached (out-
put for 24 V circuit to customer)
I ‘Reference travel’ activated. After a successfully executed reference
travel the handshake-signal ‘Done’ is set. If an error occurs the signal
‘Fault’ is set.
I ‘Automatic calibration’ activated. After a successfully executed auto-
matic calibration the handshake-signal ‘Done’ is set. If an error occurs
the signal ‘Fault’ is set.

BA MC870 - E

Signal (I)nput/ Explanation

(O)utput

Far O active, if the system exceeds the limit value of the measuring range
(e.g. 10 mm); if the signals ‘Far’ and ‘Measuring range 2’ are active,
the system exceeds the extended ‘Measuring range 2’ (e.g. 15 mm)

Collision O active, if a collision between nozzle electrode and workpiece is detec-

ted

Position reached O active, if selected standoff distance is reached (i.e. nozzle standoff
distance or programmed position). This is used as a handshake sig-
nal for acknowledging ‘Automatic’ or ‘Programmed position’.

System error O active, if an internal error is detected

Ready O active after a successfully executed reference travel

Body touch O active, if working head touches workpiece (only used for Laserma-
tic®), not active during system initialisation, during calibration or if
cable cut occures

Lower travel limit O active, if during traversing of the linear drive the software-lower travel
limit is reached

Upper travel limit O active, if during traversing of the linear drive the software-upper travel
limit is reached

Lower limit switch O active, if during traversing of the linear drive the lower limit switch is
reached

Upper limit switch O active, if during traversing of the linear drive the upper limit switch is
reached

Overload O active, if the servo control switches into the overload mode, if there is
an under- or overvoltage or if there is a failure of the supply voltage
for the power section

I/O fault O active, if an output of the I/O-Interfaces of the servo control is overloa-
ded. In this case this output is switched off. To reset the system, the
power supply has to be switched off.

Fault O active, if an error has occured during activating ‘Reference travel’ or

‘Automatic calibration’

Done O active, if activating of ‘Reference Travel’ or ‘Automatic Calibration’

has successfully been executed

Collision protection in R21 collision protection 24 V- input, monitoring voltage for the mechanical
collision protection (R21: clamp of internal relay)

Collision protection out R24 collision protection 24 V- output, monitoring voltage for the mecha-
nical collision protection (R24: clamp of internal relay)

11.2 Motor Control MC870 GLU III

Signal (I)nput/ Explanation

(O)utput

Release adjust box I System is set active. If this input is not set, there is no traversing
action!!

Automatic I System moves to the intended distance (1, 2 or 3).

Nozzle standoff distance 2 I ‘Nozzle standoff distance 2’ selected and approached by setting
‘Automatic’

Nozzle standoff distance 3 I ‘Nozzle standoff distance 3’ selected and approached by setting
‘Automatic’

Measuring range 2 I When ‘Measuring range 2’ is activated distance control is inactiv.

This allows a second distance value, at which the FAR Signal is swit-
ched on, to be set for special measuring needs. ‘Measuring range 2’
(distance value) can be configured via remote control during calibrati-
on. Example: ‘Measuring range 2’ is set to 15 mm, while the normal
measuring range used during the cutting process is 10 mm.

Programmed position I System moves to ‘Programmed position’ (adjustable via remote con-
trol).

Manual up I Linear drive moves upwards (velocity adjustable via remote control).

Manual down I Linear drive moves downwards (velocity adjustable via remote con-
trol).

Creeping I Creeping mode activated. By activating the signal ‘Creeping’ the

movement of the linear drive can be executed with decreased veloci-
ty (velocity adjustable via remote control).

0 V DC I Common 0 V-connection for the I/O-wiring

Limit detection circuit, in I/O Limit detection circuit (24 V) opens, if limit switches are reached (input
for 24 V circuit from customer)

Limit detection circuit, out I/O Limit detection circuit (24 V) opens, if limit switches are reached (out-
put for 24 V circuit to customer)

External clearance I By applying an analog voltage in the range of 0.3 V < voltage > 9,7 V
the nozzle standoff distance can be changed. Outside this range the
remote control-adjustments are valid.

AGND I Analog ground, GND-connection for ‘External clearance’
