Product-specific terms and abbreviations

The following product-specific abbreviations are used in this

manual:

Term/

abbreviation

Meaning

0-signal Input or output supplies 0 V

1-signal Input or output supplies 24 V

Drive In t his manual the term ”Drive” represents the terms ”linear unit”

(DGP(I)(L)-...), ”c ylinder” (DNC-...) or ”rotary drive” (DSMI).

O Digital output

Cushioning stage The positioning behaviour is determined by the amplification and cushioning

stages. The cushioning stage serves for optimizing the starting behaviour when

movement is made towards the end posit ions.

I Digital input

PLC, IPC Programmable logic controller/industrial PC

System parameter Characteristic value which describes both the system structure a s well as the

features and components of the drive used.

Parameter Parameters which must be set for operating the system. This includes the

cushioning stage, the amplification stage and the system parameters.

Teach procedure In the Teach procedure, the SPC11 checks the set parameters, learns the

position of the mechanical f ixed stops as well as various characteristic system

values and saves these in the integrated EEPROM.

Amplification sta ge The a mplification stage influences e.g. the acceleration behaviour of the

drive. The amplification stage should usually be set in accordance wit h the

specifications in the manual “Drive-specific supplement”. If it is necessary to

optimize the positioning behaviour, only the cushioning stage should be

modified.
