5.3.3 Measurement System

There are two measurement system systems, 1 and 2. Each system is connected to the
CPU board via a serial link. The serial link is of ring type with board 1 connected to
CPU-board serial output. The last Serial Measurement Board (SMB) is connected to the
CPU-board serial input.This link also supplies power to the SMB.

Measurement System 1 can consist of up to two SMB, one used for the robot manipu-
lator, the other one for one external axis, normally a track motion. The external axis
must be connected to node 4 and in the configuration file be addressed as logical node
7.

Measurement System 2 can consist of one to four SMB boards. The board numbering
always starts with board 1. No gaps may occur in the number sequence. Every axis con-
nected to a measuring system must have an unique node number. While the node
number is the same as physical connection, the physical connection node must also be
unique.

Each SMB has 6 connection nodes for resolvers. A battery supplies the SMB with
power during power fail. If the axes move during power fail the internal revolution
counters are automatically updated. After power on the system is ready for operation
without any synchronization procedure.

A special configuration can be used with no robot connected. Only Measurement Sys-
tem 1 with one or two SMB may be used. Up to 6 external axes can be connected to
those boards. See configuration files in Figure 70.

Technical data

Resolver Integrated in motor of IRB type

or
art.no. 5766 388-5, size 11
Resolver must be approved by ABB
for reliable operation.

Motor to resolver gear ratio 1:1, direct drive

Resolver cable length: max 30 m (X, Y for each resolver)

total max 70 m for EXC signals.
Product Manual IRB 1400 97
External Axes Installation and Commissioning

Cable: AWG 24, max 55pF/m, with shield.

The X, Y, 0V X and 0 V Y signals are used to connect resolvers to a serial measurement

board.

The EXC, 0V EXC are used for common supply for all resolvers, parallel connected.

It is very important that the noise level on the measurement signals from the exter-
nal axes is kept as low as possible, to prevent bad performance. Correct shielding
and ground connections of cables, measurement boards and resolvers is essential.

The cabling must comply with signal class measurement signals (see chapter 3.1,
Signal classes).

The enclosure for external serial measurement board(s) must comply with enclosure
class IP 54, in accordance with IEC 144 and IEC 529.

5.3.4 Drive System

There are two drive systems 1 and 2. Each system is connected to the CPU board via a
serial link. The link also supplies low voltage logic power to the rectifier and drive
modules.

Each drive system has its own transformer. For information on fuses, power contactors
etc. see documentation for the separate enclosure.

The rectifier DSQC 358C has in addition to its rectifier section also a drive inverter for
one external axis. This rectifier can be used in all S4C robot cabinets except for those
robots needing the DSQC 345D rectifier.

For robots using two drive units, an extra drive unit can be placed in the S4C robot cab-
inet. This drive unit is connected to the Drive System 2 serial communication link, but
use the Drive System 1 rectifier. This combined system is called Drive System 1.2 .

If drive unit with three drive inverters (nodes) are used, axes with measurement node
1, 2, 3 or 4, 5, 6 may not be connected to the same drive unit.

If the function common drive is to be used, a contactor unit for motor selection is
required.

As an option its possible to use Atlas DMC of FBU. Those units are always connected
to drive system 2 and measurement system 2. They CANNOT be combined with inter-
nal controlled drive units connected to drive system 2. Up to 6 external axis can be con-
nected using DMC:s and/or FBU:s. In section 5.3.5 there is a complete list of template
files for external controlled axes.
