SPCS Introduction Introduction The Servo Pneumatic Control System (SPCS) is a high flow pneumatic motion control valve that when combined with a position feedback actuator provides a “closed loop” positioning control system that quickly and accurately positions a payload. System configuration and setup is completed by using a standard USB connection and Bimba’s SPCS software.
1. Connecting to Valve “With the air supply and power turned off” 1. Connect the SPCS-2 to the Bimba position feedback cylinder using cable SPCS-CBL-FBK. 2. If required, remove the top from the SPCS and configure internal jumper as shown in the illustration below. 3. Connect the SPCS-2 to your power and command sources using cable SPCS-CBL-PWR-CMD. 4. Connect Pneumatic Lines. a. Connect port 2 of the SPCS-2 to the back of the cylinder and port 4 to the front. (3/8” O.D.
1. Connecting to Valve a. Download the SPCS USB software found on Bimba’s website: www.bimba.com/products-and-cad/actuators/inch/position-control/ controllers11/servo-proportional-control-system/ c. Click the “Run” button. 2014.01.23 rev4 b. After the software package “Bimba SPCS Setup.zip” has downloaded, double click on the highlighted file, (usually the file can be found in the Download folder. Then click open. d. Click on the “I accept the terms in the License Agreement”, then click on “Next >”.
1. Connecting to Valve e. Click on the “Next >” button. f. Click on the “Next >” button. g. Click the “Install” button. h. Click the “Finish” button. 2014.01.
2. Opening SPCS USB Interface e. Click on the Bimba SPCS button in the Start Menu,. Initial Setup Screen • Communication: Select the Select Port dropdown window: Select a Com Port and click the Enable Communication check box. If communication is established the remaining screen selections will become available. You may have several Com ports from which to choose – you may have to repeat the selection process above to find the correct one.
3. Basic Settings Proportional, Derivative, Force Damping, Offset -- At setup the default settings are set at zero. After adjustment, if necessary they can be reset to the default value by clicking: Analog Button: Selection allows operation using an external signal source. PC Slider Button: Selection allows operation by moving the Cylinder Command slider up and down, extending and retracting the cylinder.
3. Advance Settings Determine the electrical offset % between the Cylinder command signal and the Cylinder feedback signal • Minimum Position Slide: Move the slide to zero • Maximum Position Slide: Move the slide to 100% • Cylinder Command Slide: Move the slide to zero (the cylinder should fully retract) – note the percentage at the top of the Cylinder Feedback Slide.
3. Linear & Rotary Cylinder Load Vs. Velocity Maximum Moving Mass The tables below recommend the maximum moving mass controlled by a SPCS-2 for horizontal and vertical applications. Information for Bimba’s PFC, Pneu Turn and Ultran magnetically coupled cylinders is included. Actual mass will vary based on cylinder speed and mechanical assembly (e.g. friction in cylinder or system, air pressure, etc.
