Fixed MicroLogix 1500 Clutch/Brake Only Package

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 two 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. The DC version has TUV certification for IEC–61508, EN–954, EN–692 and DIN 19250. 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, auto-mation control, brake monitoring, die monitoring, resolver based tonnage monitoring, consider using a third MicroLogix processor. If you require resolvers, consider using a third SLC processor, one of the SLC 5/03 packages, or a PressMaster system.
