New—Enhanced Options for MicroLogix Clutch/Brake Controllers | |
|
Description
A MicroLogix™ 1500 processor-based Clutch/Brake Package is a bundle of hardware, software, and documentation that controls the basic clutch/brake mechanisms on mechanical stamping presses. This package requires no user programming. It can be interfaced with other controllers such as the ControlLogix system.
The package uses redundant MicroLogix 1500 processors with application software for self testing and verification to help meet the safety requirements of ANSI B11.1, OSHA 1910.217 and CAN/CSA Z142-M90 press safety regulations for mechanical stamping presses. Each MicroLogix 1500 processor has the basic clutch/brake functionality as well as the basic diagnostics to interface to several display options making it an easy-to-use cost-effective solution for small presses. Since you don’t need programmable controller experience; you can just wire and mount the equipment.
For other press functions such as programmable limit switch, automation control, die protection monitoring and resolver based, consider using the Compact PressMaster system. If you require more automation flexibility or need a custom system, consider using the StamPro system.
