"The Latest Drive Technology"
Emerson Technology Applications!
Semiconductor Wet Bath
The MDS displays its many benefits in those applications
that employ more than one axis. Here the compact
installation of an MDS has its drives equipped with the
enhanced indexing control of our FM-2 modules.
Auger Filler Analog Check Weight
The EP Family of drives with its analog input capability
and user programs makes an easy and effective solution
for applications requiring accurate filling requirements.
High Speed Labeling
The programming power of the EP-PPB can solve even
the toughest high speed labeling applications. The
high-speed Profibus protocol in the drive adds increased
communication flexibility along with the ease of set up
and use found in all “Motion Made Easy” products.
Dancer Arm Loop Control
The versatility of the EP-P with user created programs,
the ability to accept an external encoder input as well as
an analog input, make it the perfect choice for dancer
arm loop control.
Traverse Winder
The power of an EN-Series drive teamed with the
programming of an FM-4 Programming Module make a
great combination for traverse winder applications.
Phase Synchronization
FM-3E and FM-4E modules used on a MDS system
provide a compact and easy to implement solution for
most phase synchronization application needs. The
peer-to-peer networking capability of the FM Ethernet
modules allows for high-speed data transfer between
the drives.
Flying Shear
MDS drive modules combined with the FM-3 make a
compact and efficient solution for in-line flying shear
applications. Adding an OIT-3165 Operator Interface
Terminal increases overall system flexibility by allowing
the operator to change parameters such as cut length.
Random Infeed – Smartbelt
The EP-P user programs provide users a unique flexibility
with the ability to solve many different random infeed
applications also commonly referred to as smartbelt
applications.
Pick and Place
MDS system components when combined with the MC
multi-axis controller create a complete multi-axis system
where coordinated motion is required.
Pulse Follower (Stepper Replacement)
The cost effectiveness and small product footprint of the
Epsilon EP-B (Base) drive make it a superior choice for
stepper drive and motor replacement.
Rotary Knife
Versatility of the EP-PDN Programmable Drive with
DeviceNet drive can be shown in many rotary
knife applications. The ability of the DeviceNet
communications protocol gives the user added flexibility
for statistical process control.
Positioning via DeviceNet
The EP-IDN combines the compactness of the Epsilon
EP Series Drive with DeviceNet protocol to provide
an easy to use, low cost solution for many types of
indexing applications with requirements for DeviceNet
communications.
Extend–Retract
Epsilon EP-I (indexing) drives and Exlar GSX Series Linear
Actuators provide a long term solution for the most
demanding applications requiring precise and repeatable
linear motion.
Gluing Application
MDS system components when combined with
the MC206X or MC224 multi-axis controller create
a complete multi-axis system that delivers true
interpolated motion.

POWERTOOLS PRO HIERARCHY TREE
PLS
– Configurable PLS functionality adds advanced flexibility that is normally
found on complex PC based systems. In addition to local PLS functionality
which may be configured for every index, users may add up to 8 configurable
global PLS’s. Sources for the global PLS’s include, Motor Position Feedback,
Motor Position Command, and Master Position Feedback.
Assignments
– Use our “Virtual Wiring” to create programs right out of the
box, without writing a “line of code.” For example, the assignment view below
shows how easily a flying cutoff routine can be created.
Analog Inputs
– Use the Analog Input to adjust velocity, torque, distance, or
any other parameter in the module. No more trying to convert Volts into other
units. Simply enter the max. and min. voltages and the corresponding max.
and min. value in your application units, and the 14-bit analog to digital signal
is automatically scaled into your user units. The easy to use PowerTools Pro
Analog Inputs view allows you to configure your analog input in no time.
Queues
– The Queue is used in applications where multiple products exist between the incoming product sensor and
the location where the process takes place (i.e. applying labels, bar code printing, vision
inspection, part rejection, etc). Up to eight Queues can be used simultaneously to control
all of the processes in your application.
Indexes
– Setting up indexes is easily accomplished by filling in the blanks to create an index profile. Select from Incremental, Absolute,
Registration, Rotary Plus, or Rotary Minus types. Choose the time base of the index by selecting either realtime
or synchronized to a master.
Profiles
– PowerTools Pro allows the user to simultaneously execute any two
motion types together resulting in a summed profile (i.e. Gear + Index, Jog +
Index, Index + Index, etc.). Summing profiles is ideal for phasing applications
such as Random Infeed, Rotary Knife, Merge Conveyor, and any number of
other applications. S-curve acceleration is available for a “jerk-free” application.
Programs
– Combine program flow and motion instructions to create fully customized user programs up to 1,000 lines of code. Use conditional
branching, wait for, program calls, formulas, user variables, and numerous motion instructions to solve your complex applications.
Easily create programs, such as the drill head positioning program below, by dragging and dropping, or typing program instructions,
variables, I/O, and formula operands into your program screen. Use the FM-3 to run one program at a time, or choose the FM-4 or
SM-EZMotion to run up to four programs simultaneously!
MONITORING PARAMETERS WITH POWERTOOLS PRO
PowerTools Pro allows the user to monitor motion in many flexible ways. Many of the views have online sections for displaying the
latest value currently being used in a drive. Using PowerTools Pro and its Watch Window, troubleshooting an application is greatly
simplified.
High speed data capture allows powertools to obtain traces while online with the drive.
Connectivity!
Choose the Fieldbus that fits you AND your application.
At Emerson, we recognize the importance of simplicity in fieldbus communications. Incorporating a vast range of fieldbus
options onto our drives has been an important step in making system configuration and troubleshooting quick and easy. From Solutions
Modules (SM’s), to Function Modules (FM’s), to built in drive communications, Emerson offers our customers fieldbus
solutions
that are so flexible and easy that some customers have used drives as network gateways! A wide array of communications options are
available for your application:
