&
Numbers of storage locations of machine parameters do have a prefix
referring to the respective parameter plane (see appendix A):
1/x = system parameter x 2/x = unit parameter x
3/x = axis parameter x
&
A ‘x’ or ‘X’ in a numerical expression represents any numeral from the
admissible range of values for this expression (example: GEL 8x10 =
GEL 8310 and/or GEL 8610).
&
Texts printed in italics normally describe input or output signals at the
terminal strips (see appendix B).
&
If functions are added, which normally means that the software version
will be given a new number, new descriptions will either be attached in form
of exchange sheets or as separate annexes (appendix D and following). In
both cases, and also if corrections become necessary, an updating sheet
will be supplied to be added to appendix Z in order to inform about the
current software state of the manual.
1.5 Characteristics of the Controller GEL 8310/8610
❍
The menu oriented operating/programming is performed using plain text
either via
−
the keyboard of the Controller or
−
the optional PC program BB8110
❍
single drives (axes) may be controlled separately or together as a so-called
unit
❍
exact, dynamic close-loop control with speed pre-control
❍
very short control sampling time of 1 ms per connected axis
❍
path control is possible (optional with circular interpolation)
❍
sequential storage of malfunctions
❍
sentence structure (nominal value types) can be set differently for each unit
(combination of axes); see para. 3.2
❍
all storage locations are protected against mains failure (EEPROM with a
warranted service life of 10 years or 10,000 rewrites)
❍
possible data storage on an external data carrier (memory card, option)
❍
optional extension of functions, e.g. synchronisation control or control for a
flying saw
❍
maintenance-free (clean the housing with a wet cloth)
