ETEL Doc. - Operation & Software Manual # DSC2P 903 / Ver. F / 3/6/05 Introduction
Operation & Software Manual
Direct Drives & Systems 13
Introduction
This document concerns the following ETEL digital position controllers: the DSC2P, DSC2V, DSCDP, DSCDL
and DSCDM also called 'position controller’ or simply ’controller’.
The purpose of this manual is to give details regarding the system's functioning, installation, tuning, functions
and programming possibilities. For electrical specifications, interfaces and hardware items, please refer to the
corresponding 'Hardware Manual'.
The information given in this manual is valid for:
• the DSC2P and DSC2V with a firmware from version 1.22 (firmware identical for both products)
• the DSCDP with a firmware from version 1.15
• the DSCDL with a firmware from version 1.06
• the DSCDM with a firmware from version 1.02
If a DSMAX motion controller is used, its firmware must be from version 1.20A for the DSMAX1 and
DSMAX2 and from version 1.10A for the DSMAX3.
If a DSTEB motion controller is used, the DLL used must be from version EDI2.13A (usable with
ETT4.11A or above).
All the functions described in this manual have not been implemented in all the controllers. This is why
a table is present at the beginning of all the paragraphs describing a function to indicate in which
product(s) this function is present.
Example:
Remark: If a part of a function is not present in a controller, the name of the corresponding controller will
be crossed out in the comment of the function (e.g: DSCDP
).
Remark: The updates between two successive versions are highlighted with a modification stroke in the
margin of the manual.
General operating conditions
The controllers are designed to operate in a non-aggressive and clean environment, with a humidity rate
ranging between 10% and 85%, an altitude < 2000m (6562 ft), and a temperature ranging between +15°C
(59°F) and +30°C (86°F) or +40°C (104°F) depending on the product (refer to the corresponding ’Hardware
Manual’ for more information). They must be connected to an electrical network of overvoltage category 2
(refer to EN 50178 and UL 840 standards for more information). The DSC2P, DSCDP and DSC2V are suitable
for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than 5000 Arms, symmetrical amperes, 400 volts maximum.
The DSCDM must be connected to a power supply with SELV outputs. The electronics must be in an enclosure
respecting a pollution degree of 2 (refer to UL508C and EN 50178 standards for more information).
The controllers are not designed or intended for use in the on-line control of air traffic, aircraft navigation and
communications as well as critical components in life support systems or in the design, construction, operation
and maintenance of any nuclear facility.
Safety
Please, read all the safety precautions listed in this manual before handling the
controller:
Warning: Signals a danger of electrical shock to the operator.
Can be fatal for a person.
Caution: Signals a danger for the controller. Can be destructive for the material.
A danger for the operator can result from this.
