Installation
Receiving the Package
When you receive the package that
contains the SMC20 motion controller, it
should contain the following parts:
D
The SMC20 two-axis motion controller.
D
One 2-pin isolated DC supply
connector (green; in place).
D
One 6-pin common system connector
(green; in place).
D
Two 32-pin, screw-type connectors
(32-pin, solder-type DIN connectors
are available from Vickers).
D
One 4-pin mating connector for AC
power.
D
One SMC20 Two–Axis Position
Controller User’s Manual.
D
One SMC20 Programmer’s Reference
Manual.
D
One Hand-Held Pendant (4 line
display).
You need to supply all other parts for the
motion control system, including the
necessary wire and cables.
Check the package contents to be sure
that it contains all parts. If one or more
parts appear to be missing, contact your
authorized Vickers distributor. Be
prepared to give the SMC20 model
number and serial number (located on
the outside of the unit), and the
description of the missing part.
Registering Your
Controller/Manual
When you have checked to be sure that
the package contains all SMC20 parts,
please take a moment to fill out the
Product Registration Card. You will find
the card just inside the front cover of the
User’s Manual.
Among other things, the Product
Registration Card asks for the serial
number on your SMC20. Even if you do
not have an SMC20, sending in the
registration card will allow us to keep
you posted on changes to this manual.
CAUTION
This controller is used in motion
control systems which involve
operation of linear actuators and/or
rotary motion which can cause
machine damage or personal injury.
For Safety Reasons:
–Read this manual and understand
operation of the controller prior to
installation and operation.
–The user must install proper
interlocks, enable fault circuits and
emergency shutdown circuits in
accordance with accepted safe
practices.
Mounting
The SMC20 is designed to be mounted
on a panel, typically in an industrial
NEMA rated enclosure. Use 4, #10
machine screws.
The maximum ambient operating
temperature is 50
o
C. If temperatures
higher than 50
o
C are likely, supply air
conditioning to the cabinet.
CAUTION
For proper ventilation, mount the
SMC20 vertically – not horizontally.
Damage may occur. Allow 4 inches
free clearance above and below the
controller for proper air flow.
Connections
The SMC20 front panel contains all
connections to other components in the
motion control system; for example, the
power source, feedback sensors, I/O, or
a Hand–Held Terminal.
To complete the connections, you may
use one of a variety of devices; for
example, plug–in screw terminals, solder
terminals, or multiple–pin plugs. For
both the isolated DC supply and the
common system connections, use the
plug–in screw–type terminal supplied
with your SMC20. For axis connections,
you can use either the 32–pin
screw–type DIN connection supplied
with the controller or a 32–pin
solder–type DIN connector (optional).
