For your safety

10 ─── Version: 2.1eXtended Transport System

For your safety

Read this chapter containing general safety information. The chap-

ters in these operating instructions also contain warning notices. Al-

ways observe the safety instructions for your own safety, the safety

of other persons and the safety of the product.

When working with control and automation products, many dangers

can result from careless or incorrect use. Work particularly thor-

oughly, not under time pressure and responsibly towards other peo-

ple.

General safety instruc-

tions

This chapter provides you with instructions on safety when handling

the XTS. This system is not capable of stand-alone operation and is

therefore categorized as an incomplete machine. The XTS must be

installed in a machine/plant by the machine manufacturer. The doc-

umentation created by the machine manufacturer must be read.

Before operation

Danger from magnetic fields

The magnetic fields of some of the components of the XTS are dan-

gerous to:

• people fitted with cardiac pacemakers

• persons with magnetically conducting implants

• implanted and external defibrillators

• magnetic data storage devices, chip cards with magnetic strips

and other electronic devices

Maintain a safety distance of 500 mm to all magnetic parts and pre-

vent direct contact between magnetic parts and parts that are sensi-

tive to interference.

Observe the requirements of BGV B 11 for electromagnetic fields

(Germany) and applicable national regulations in other countries.

Use SELV/PELV output voltages

Operate all electronic modules and components in the drive system

only with a SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) or PELV (Protective

Extra Low Voltage) output voltage.

Keep the surroundings clean

Keep your workplace and the surrounding area clean. Ensure safe

working. Prevent the ingress of dirt into the XTS modules.

Secure the control cabinet

When working on machines, secure the control cabinet against inad-

vertent power-up.

Do not use damaged modules

Observe the specifications in the technical data during storage,

transport and operation. Do not use damaged modules.

Check safety pictograms

Check whether the designated pictograms are on the product. Re-

place missing or illegible stickers.

Observe the tightening torques

Install connections and components in compliance with the specified

tightening torques and check them regularly.

Earth electrical components or modules correctly

Do not touch electrical components or assemblies unless you are

wearing protective ESD clothing. Only walk on conductive floors.

For your safety

Version: 2.1 ─── 11eXtended Transport System

Only use original packaging for further processing

When shipping, transporting, storing and packing, use the original

packaging or conductive materials. Conductive materials are foam

or aluminum, for example.

During operation

Observe the earthing concept

Special conditions need to be observed for the earthing of the XTS.

Be sure to read the chapter "Earthing of the supply", [Page68].

Do not work on live electrical parts

Make sure the protective conductor is connected properly. Never

disconnect electrical connections while they are live. Only work on

the XTS when the voltage has dropped to < 10V. Disconnect all

components from the mains and secure against reconnection!

Do not touch hot surfaces

Check cooling of the surfaces with a thermometer! Do not touch the

housing during and after operation. Allow the XTS to cool down for

at least 15 minutes after it is switched off.

Avoid overheating

Operate the XTS according to the technical specifications. Refer

here to the chapter: "Technical data". Provide for adequate cooling

and switch the XTS off immediately if the temperature is too high.

Do not touch rotating components

Do not touch any moving parts during the operation of the XTS. En-

sure that all parts / components on the machine / plant are firmly

seated!

After operation

Before working on components, make sure that they are de-en-

ergized

Carry out a voltage test and check all safety-relevant devices for

functionality. Secure the working environment and the control cabi-

net against inadvertent power-up. See chapter: "Decommissioning",

[Page81].

Product characteristics

Permanent magnets

Permanent magnets made of a hard magnetic material are built into

the XTS movers. The permanent magnets develop high forces even

in small designs. They enable the precise and highly dynamic posi-

tioning of the XTS movers.

More modular travel path

You have the possibility to choose from a wide variety of module ge-

ometries and to assemble them together as you wish. This allows

different machine forms to be implemented.

Rail system

You have the possibility to select the best combination from several

rail systems and movers for every application.

Armature short circuit brake

In the case of an emergency stop the movers can optionally be de-

celerated by means of an armature short circuit.

Intended use

The XTS may be operated exclusively for the activities foreseen and

defined in this documentation, taking into account the prescribed en-

vironmental conditions.

The components are to be installed in electrical systems or ma-

chines and only put into operation as integrated components of the

system or machine.

All components of the XTS are intended to be programmed and put

into operation only with the help of the Beckhoff TwinCAT automa-

tion software.

Read the entire drive system documentation

This consists of:

• Translation of the original instructions

• Translation of the original instructions for the control computer

• Complete machine documentation provided by the machine

manufacturer

Non-observance of the documentation content may result in dam-

age to the product and exclusion of liability.

Improper use

Any use exceeding the permissible values specified in the Technical

data is considered improper and therefore prohibited!

The Standard XTS is not suitable for use in the following areas:

• in ATEX zones without a suitable housing

• in areas with aggressive environments (e.g. aggressive gases or

chemicals)

The relevant standards and directives for EMC interference emis-

sions must be complied with in residential areas. The XTS may only

be installed in a plant with a housing for corresponding shielding at-

tenuation.

Technical data

20 ─── Version: 2.1eXtended Transport System

Technical data

Below you will find definitions of terms, environmental conditions,

operating details and technical data for the XTS.

Definition

All details relate to an ambient temperature of 40 °C. The data can

have a tolerance of +/- 10%.

Technical term Symbol/

unit

Definition

Nominal force F

[N] Nominal force that a mover can continuously apply.

Force constant K

[N/A] Specification of how much force in N the mover generates with a certain mover cur-

rent.

The equation is F

= I

0Mover

x K

Voltage constant K

[Vs/m] Induced motor EMF related to 1 m/s as a peak sine value on a motor coil.

Thermal time constant tTH [min] Specification of the heating time of the cold module when loaded with the nominal

force until 63% of the maximum overtemperature is reached. This temperature rise

happens in a much shorter time when the motor is loaded with the peak current.

Absolute accuracy [mm] Specification of the difference between an expected set position and the mean value

of the actual position resulting from approaching the set position from different direc-

tions (multi-directional). The absolute accuracy is valid within a module and is de-

fined as the difference between the set position and the actual position of the posi-

tioning system.

Standstill repeatability [mm] Specification of how accurately the system positions when approaching a position

from the same direction (unidirectional). The standstill repeatability is to be evaluated

as the average difference between the actual position and the set position and is the

most important measure for the assessment of a positioning system. It defines the

variance around the mean value with a large number of positionings.

The variance of the positions is illustrated by the "Gauss distribution" or normal distri-

bution. The standstill repeatability is defined by three standard deviations (3σ) with a

probability of 99.74%.

Synchronization accuracy [mm] Specification of the fluctuations that the system exhibits in the position (lag error) dur-

ing a position-controlled movement at a constant set speed. The synchronization ac-

curacy depends on the mechanical rigidity, the applied load on the movers, the con-

troller settings, the set speed and also any mechanical offset between the modules.
