2. Controlling with the electronic control card TS004 E
We provide this electronic control card for use in controlling our cam indexing tables (TC, TR and TS). This card monitors
the operation of the indexing table and also allows you to optimize the indexing time. The card provides for manual
operation as well as independent contol by your main PLC.
The indexing table is equipped with a control cam on the drive curve and a sensor. The sensor signals as soon as the
table is in the locked position. The control card will then stop the motor and signal to the main PLC.
The motor is stopped after a delay time which is set at the turn switch. This allows the drive to proceed to an ideal
starting position for the next cycle.
The drive must come to a standstill within the locking phase. This is monitored by the control card and in the event of an
error, reported as a fault (“Position overrun“). If this fault occurs, all processing stations must be immediately reset and the
motor voltage supply shut down, as the indexing table is not in the locked position (risk of crash).
The TS002 has been constantly upgraded. As of version TS003 the brake is controlled on a time-optimised basis and it
was possible to substantially reduce wear on the brake. As of version TS004 the motor temperature is monitored by a
temperature switch.
The control card remains downwards compatible, therefore in the event of replacement an earlier version can be
exchanged with the new TS004.
