Installation and wiring specifications

Controller installation requirements

Installation method: 35mm standard top cap guide rail (TH 35-7.5/15), vertically installed (utilizing natural convection heat dissipation).

Space requirement: Reserve a heat dissipation gap of ≥ 40mm around the perimeter to avoid close placement with power electronic components such as frequency converters (spacing ≥ 10cm).

Fixed torque: The installation screw torque is matched according to the model (such as using M4 screws for DKC02.3, with a torque of 3.1 Nm).

Core wiring specifications

Power wiring: Single/three-phase power supply needs to match the voltage range, with a PE wire cross-section of ≥ 10 mm ² and a grounding resistance of ≤ 4 Ω; The control voltage of 24VDC requires separate wiring, with ripple ≤ 1.5Vpp.

Cable selection: The cross-section of the power cable should be ≥ 0.75 mm ², and the encoder cable should be double shielded with a distance of ≥ 100mm from the power cable. The maximum length of the motor cable is 40m, and the maximum length of the encoder cable is 40m.

Bus wiring: A 121 Ω terminal resistor is required to be connected at both ends of the PROFIBUS DP bus. The CANopen bus supports addresses 1-127, and the SERCOS fiber optic switch needs to be set according to the transmission power.

EMC compliance requirements

Cable shielding: single end grounding of power cable shielding layer, double end grounding of signal cable; The shielding layer of the motor cable is grounded through a connector.

Filter configuration: A dedicated power filter (such as NFE01.1) needs to be installed to suppress electromagnetic interference and comply with EN 55022 Class A standard.

Debugging and maintenance

Debugging process

Hardware connection: Connect the PC to the X6 interface of the controller using an RS232 cable (IKB0041), and check the wiring before powering on (discharge after 5 minutes of power-off).

Software configuration: Install DriveTop software (Windows system), set communication parameters (default baud rate 9600bps), load motor parameters, control mode, and bus address.

Trial operation: First, test the speed/steering without load (up to 5000 min ⁻¹), then verify the position accuracy with load (error ≤± 2 arcminutes), and confirm that the emergency stop function is effective.

routine maintenance

Motor maintenance: Maintain IP65 protection integrity to avoid oil intrusion; Activate the brake every 48 hours to prevent rusting and avoid sticking.

Encoder maintenance: The battery life of the absolute value encoder is about 10 years, and it needs to be replaced when the equipment is loaded and the control voltage is turned on to avoid absolute position loss.

Controller maintenance: Check the wiring tightness annually and clean the dust on the heat sink; Avoid overload operation (continuous current not exceeding rated value).

Fault handling

Diagnosis display: The H1 indicator light displays an error code (such as F248=low battery voltage), and the S1 button can reset non fatal errors.

Common faults: overvoltage (check brake resistor connection), overload (reduce load or prolong acceleration time), communication fault (check bus parameters and cables), encoder fault (check cables or batteries).

Application scenarios and limitations

Applicable scenarios

Industrial equipment: handling and assembly systems, packaging and food machinery, printing machines, small machine tools.

Control requirements: Low power loads that require precise position/speed control, single axis or multi axis synchronous applications (such as assembly line conveying, robotic arm positioning).

Usage restrictions

Prohibited for use in personnel transportation equipment, medical equipment, explosion-proof environments (non explosion-proof models), nuclear industry, mining and other scenarios.

If it exceeds the ambient temperature (0-40 ℃) or altitude (>1000m), it needs to be downgraded for use (2% for every 1 ℃ and 10% for every 1000m).

If the power supply voltage exceeds the range of 200~240V, an autotransformer (such as DST series) should be configured, and direct connection to 400V mains is prohibited.
