Roller Screw versus Ball Screw Actuators
In the ever-evolving field of engineering, roller screw technology has become a significant force in linear electric actuator motion control....
Flexible and affordable expansion of a large number of safety functions for the Stöber SI6/SC6 servo controller in accordance with EN 61800-5-2. With the PASmotion software from Pilz integrated into the DriveControl Suite setup software from Stöber, the specialist knowledge and experience of two worlds come together.
The result is simple and flexible setup of safety functions for STOP, MOTION, MONITORING, BRAKE, RESTART and STATUS in the high-performance stand-alone SI6/SC6 controller from Stöber.
Key benefits:
This saves space, time and costs
With the SX6 safety module, the SI6/SC6 servo controller can be incorporated into the safety circuit as a “safety related part of the control system” (SRP/CS) for the execution of safety functions (Safe Drive System).
Safety functions (configurable)
Connections
EtherCAT FSoE interface
The safety functions can be assigned to the freely available inputs and outputs (EtherCAT FSoE status/control bits) in the configuration tool of the safety module.
The table below shows an overview of the safety functions according to EN 61800-5-2 and which of them are available with the SX6 safety module. The mentioned ST6 and SE6 are the safety modules that are available for the Stöber SD6 controller.
Safe Drive System structure
A Safe Drive System consists of the following as standard:
Optionally can be added:
The Safety module SX6 (depending on the configuration):
The Control Unit:
The Safety control system (safety PLC)
The PASmotion configuration tool:
Example of activating the safety function (SS1) with error detection by status feedback:
Pilz PASmotion software tool started from Stöber DriveControl Suite
Example of configuring the Safe Operating Stop (SOS) function in PASmotion
We supply slewing ring bearings, oscillating mountings, tensioner devices from stock and we also have spiral bevel gearboxes, servo gears and electromechanical actuators in our delivery program.
In addition we also select and offer the right components and systems for motion control solutions, such as servo gear motors, linear servo actuators and complete XYZ cartesian systems.
