Technology board T400

The T400 is used to implement supplementary process-specific functions (e.g.for tension and position controls, winders, reels, synchronous and positioning controls, hoisting gear and drive-related open-loop control functions. Frequently used supplementary process-specific functions are available as pre-programmed standard configurations.

End users who wish to implement specialist applications or who want to market their own technological know-how can create their own process solution on the T400 using CFC configuring language that is familiar from SIMATIC® STEP® 7.

Process-specific functions are configured with CFC. The processor then executes these functions cyclically. The closed-loop control sampling time is about 1 ms. A virtually instantaneous parallel interface (dual-port RAM) allows data to be exchanged between the basic unit and T400. All signals can be directly connected to terminals on the T400. A 15 V/100 mA pulse power supply is available.

An external 24 V DC supply must be available to drive the binary inputs and outputs. This voltage can be supplied by the basic unit provided the total current at the terminals does not exceed 150 mA.

The configuration is parameterized by means of:

• The PMU operation and parameterization unit
• The OP1S operator control panel
• A PC with DriveMonitor ¹⁾ on the basic unit
• An interface board
• Altered parameter settings can be stored permanently in the EEPROM.

The T400 board can be installed in the electronics box of SIMOREG converters. The LBA bus adapter is needed for this purpose.

Features
(inputs/outputs)

• 2 analog outputs
• 5 analog inputs
• 2 binary outputs
• 8 binary inputs
• 4 bidirectional binary inputs or outputs
• 2 incremental encoder inputs with zero pulse
  • Encoder 1 for HTL (15 V)
  • encoder.

• No isolation of inputs/outputs.
• Serial interface 1

with RS 232 and RS 485
transmission format; protocol can be selected via switch on board:

• Service protocol DUST1 with 19.2 Kbits/s and RS 232 transmission format
• USS protocol, 2-wire with selectable RS 232 or RS 485 transmission format, max. 38.4 Kbits/s, configurable as slave for parameterization with OP1S, Drive ES Basic or SIMOVIS or as master for OP2 operator panel connection
• Serial interface 2

with RS 485 transmission format and protocol that is selectable through configuring of the appropriate function block:

• Peer-to-peer for high-speed process link, 4-wire.
• USS protocol configurable as slave for parameterization with OP1S, Drive ES Basic or DriveMonitor (2-wire or 4-wire)
  baudrates [Kbits/s]:
  9.6/19.2/38.4/93.75/187.5.

Note

If serial interface 2 (peer-to-peer, USS) is used, the second absolute encoder cannot be operated since both applications utilize the same terminals.

• Absolute encoder 1 with SSI or EnDat protocol (RS 485) for positioning applications.
• Absolute encoder 2 with SSI or EnDat protocol (RS 485) for positioning applications.

Note

If the second absolute encoder is used, serial interface 2 (peer-to-peer, USS) cannot be used since both applications utilize the same terminals.

• Wide variety of synchronizing options:
  • Synchronization of
    T400 with MASTERDRIVES (CUx, CBx) or second T400
  • T400 supplies synchronizing signals for MASTERDRIVES (CUx, CBx) or second T400.

Operation without a fan

• 3 LEDs for operational status displays.
