Hardware 6.2 Interfaces 6.2.3 X231 and X232 encoder system interface The HLA module evaluates one TTL or one SSI encoder for each axis. As TTL encoder and SSI encoder are connected to the same interface, TTL and SSI encoders cannot be simultaneously operated on one axis.
Page 206
Hardware 6.2 Interfaces Connecting SSI encoders For SSI encoders, the encoder power supply is designed for 24 V / 350 mA. The supply is switched on or switched off in the software (the encoder is parameterized in Starter). The output is short-circuit proof, and is directly supplied from the module with 24 V. When a short-circuit occurs, a diagnostic signal is not output.

Hardware 6.2 Interfaces Reduction in the permissible total current drain when additional encoders are connected When additional encoders are connected, the permissible total current drain (0.9 A) of the DRIVE-CLiQ interfaces is reduced. ● Connecting SSI encoders (24 V) The HLA module provides 900 mA to connect encoders. This current must be distributed across the connected encoders.

Hardware 6.2 Interfaces Cables Note Maximum cable lengths The maximum permissible cable length to the connected servo solenoid valve is 40 m. Note Connector type The connector used must establish a continuous shield connection between the cable shield and the housing of the servo solenoid valve. Even for connectors with metal housing, the shield connection is not always continuous for all types.
Hardware 6.2 Interfaces 6.2.7 X271 26.5 V supply for the hydraulic components To supply the hydraulic components (shutoff valves, possibly sensors of the shutoff valves, servo solenoid valves and pressure sensors), 26.5 V DC must be externally connected to the HLA module via terminal X271.

Hardware 6.2 Interfaces 6.2.9 X281 and X282 sensors for shutoff valves For especially safety-critical applications, you can use shutoff valves whose spool position is monitored using inductive sensors. The sensors, certified from a safety-related perspective, signal the "open" and "closed" valve states using 2 signal outputs. The signals emulate the hysteresis of the mechanical overlap.

Hardware 6.2 Interfaces 6.2.10 X291 and X292 EP terminals to enable the power The power enable signal for the HLA module is switched using the EP terminals. Each channel of the HLA module is equipped with its own EP terminal. Note The EP terminals are only effective when using Safety Integrated.
Page 219
Hardware 6.2 Interfaces Withdrawing the power enable (power inhibit) When the power enable is withdrawn, the switch for the shutoff valve is opened and the shutoff valve closes. Note Using a central shutoff valve If there is only one central shutoff valve, you must logically interconnect the signals (e.g. using the PLC), so that the central shutoff valve is triggered when the power is inhibited.

Appendix A.3 Hydraulic Hydraulic A.3.1 Servo solenoid valves A.3.1.1 General The servo solenoid valve is the final control element in an electro-hydraulic control loop. It converts the electrical manipulated variable U=-10...+10 V into the hydraulic variables pressure p and flow rate Q, and thus into a cylinder movement. Sliding spool principle These valves are of the sliding-spool type.
Page 236
Appendix A.3 Hydraulic Solenoid actuation with valve spool position control For standard servo solenoid valves, the valve spool is actuated directly by a stepless solenoid. This converts a current I into a force F, which is compared to the force of the reset spring.
Page 237
Appendix A.3 Hydraulic Symbol The operating principle of the servo solenoid valve is represented by a symbol in the hydraulic circuit diagram. The symbol comprises a series of different boxes denoting the valve positions. The three stepless-transition valve positions are represented by additional lines. The symbol also indicates how the valve is actuated.
Page 238
Appendix A.3 Hydraulic Zero overlap at the middle position A continuous valve must have zero overlap around its middle position if it is to be used in a position control loop. A positive overlap will be perceived negatively in the form of a dead zone of the final control element.
Page 239
Appendix A.3 Hydraulic Pressure amplification The quality of zero overlap at the middle position is represented by the pressure amplification. This states what percentage of the control spool deflection from the hydraulic zero point is needed to achieve a pressure differential of 80% system pressure at the closed load ports. The values typically lie in the 1...3% range.
Page 240
Appendix A.3 Hydraulic Flow rate characteristic, linear The stepless spool movement, and thus the change in throttle cross-section at the control edges, results in a corresponding flow rate, which is represented as a function of the spool travel s or of the electrical input signal U (manipulated variable). In addition to the opening cross-section, the flow rate is also dependent on the pressure drop corresponding to the fluid-flow law: Q ∼√...
Page 241
Appendix A.3 Hydraulic Flow rate characteristic, with transition point Valves with a flow characteristic with transition point give the drive greater manipulated variable resolution in the lower signal range (better machining quality) and, at the same time, offer sufficient flow rate in the upper range (high rapid traverse velocity). Figure A-8 Flow rate characteristic with transition point, example 40 % transition Figure A-9...
Page 242
Appendix A.3 Hydraulic Linearization of flow rate characteristic with a transition point The valve characteristic with transition point is linearized in the HLA module to match it to the closed-loop control of the overall drive (cylinder). No steady-state operating point should be defined in the area of the transition point.
Page 243
Appendix A.3 Hydraulic Dynamic response The dynamic response parameters provide information on the servo solenoid valve's ability to respond to rapid signal changes. The valve actuation time is a basic statement regarding the dynamic response. This is the time that it takes the valve spool to follow a step in the valve spool setpoint of typically 0 to 100 %.
Page 244
Appendix A.3 Hydraulic Hysteresis, response sensitivity, range of inversion These three terms define similar properties. Hysteresis means the greatest difference in the input signal for identical output signals when passing through a complete signal range. For a servo solenoid valve, the hysteresis is caused by: ●...
Appendix A.3 Hydraulic A.3.1.2 Directly-controlled servo solenoid valves Mechanical design The valve spool in its steel sleeve is pushed against the reset spring directly by the actuating solenoid. The armature axis of the solenoid is mechanically coupled to the ferrite core of the position sensor integrated in the solenoid.
Page 246
Appendix A.3 Hydraulic Valve amplifier The functions of the integral valve amplifier utilize analog electronics, and are illustrated in the following block diagram. The main functions include: ● Supply and evaluation of the position sensor (AC/DC converter) ● Comparison of the setpoint input signal with valve spool actual value ●...
Appendix A.3 Hydraulic A.3.1.3 Precontrolled servo solenoid valves The principle of precontrol is applied in order to be able to handle higher flow rates. Mechanical design A directional control valve with appropriate control edges at the valve spool is used as main stage.
Page 248
Appendix A.3 Hydraulic Valve amplifier The integral valve amplifier is mounted on the precontrol stage and contains both position control loops. A cable is used to connect the position sensor on the main stage to the amplifier. Figure A-15 Precontrolled servo solenoid valve Hydraulic Drive System Manual, 04/2015, 6SL3097-4BA00-0BP1...

Appendix A.3 Hydraulic A.3.1.4 HR servo solenoid valves General The HR (High Response) servo solenoid valves offer particularly good dynamic and static characteristics, making it the ideal addition to the portfolio to address highly sophisticated applications. Both valve stages for precontrolled valves operate with position control. Features In contrast to the other servo solenoid valves, HR servo solenoid valves have the following features:...
Appendix A.3 Hydraulic A.3.2 Cylinder General The cylinder acts as the drive element in the electro-hydraulic control loop. It converts the flow rate into linear motion. In this case, high velocities are required for rapid traverse movements as well as slow velocities for machining operations. Synchronizing or differential cylinder For a synchronizing cylinder, a piston rod with the same diameter is mounted at both ends to transmit the force.
Page 253
Appendix A.3 Hydraulic Quality of seals The quality of the seals and guides used for the piston and the piston rod must be particularly high in order to minimize the friction. Transitions from static to sliding friction have a particularly adverse affect on the quality of control accuracy.
