The EMCS-YY-ST is an integrated drive designed to power connected actuator technology, with integrated electronics enabling control of position, speed, or force/torque. It is intended for use in industrial environments.
The EMCS-YY-ST integrated drive provides precise control over connected actuators. Its core function is to manage the position, speed, and force/torque output of the actuator technology. The device integrates the necessary electronics directly, simplifying system architecture and enhancing performance. It communicates with an IO-Link master for data exchange and control, supporting various drive systems such as mini slide units (EGSS-BS, EGSC), toothed belt axis units (ELGE-TB, ELGR-TB, ELGS-TB, ELGC-TB), spindle axis units (ELGS-BS, ELGC-BS), and electric cylinder units (EPCS-BS, EPCC-BS). The device's functionality is highly dependent on the specific actuator technology it is paired with.
The EMCS-YY-ST operates with a load voltage supply (24 V DC) and a logic power supply (24 V DC) via IO-Link. The IO-Link power supply requires an input current of 100-150 mA at pin 1 (L+). The device is designed to meet several international standards, including IEC 60204-1:2005+AMD1:2008 CSV, IEC 61131-2:2013, EN 61800-2:2016, EN 61800-5-1:2016-08, EN 60034-1:2011-02, and EN 60204-1:2006+A1:2009+AC:2010. It holds CE approval, KC certification (R-R-FTO-KC-2018-1082), and RCM certification, indicating compliance with EU EMC, EU RoHS, Korean, Australian, and New Zealand EMC requirements. The firmware version of the integrated drive is "v19.0.4.107_release," and the IO-Link device description file (IODD) is V1.2.6. The adapter NEFC, when used, should be from production date 01/2022 for compatibility with IO-Link masters of port class A and B. Older NEFC adapters (up to production date 2021) are compatible only with IO-Link masters of port class A.
The EMCS-YY-ST is designed for ease of integration and operation within industrial automation systems. It features connections for load voltage supply, logic power supply, and digital inputs/outputs (DIO) or IO-Link. A display and control elements (HMI) are integrated for local interaction. The device is not hot-pluggable, meaning electrical connections should only be made when the system is de-energized. Proper wiring is crucial, with specific instructions for connecting to an IO-Link master, either directly or via an NEFC adapter. The device supports data backup and parameter set updates, which are critical for maintaining system configuration and replacing components. Commissioning involves establishing a connection to the IO-Link master via application software (e.g., Festo USB IO-Link Master CDSU-1), activating automatic saving or one-time storage, and performing a reference movement to initialize end positions. The application software allows for opening IODD files, uploading parameter set files, and managing firmware updates. Diagnostic messages are provided to assist in troubleshooting, particularly for parameter set errors. The device should be operated only in perfect technical condition and in its original configuration, without unauthorized modifications.
Maintenance of the EMCS-YY-ST primarily involves replacement of defective units and parameter management. When replacing a unit, it is essential to save application parameters from the existing drive to the IO-Link master before demounting. The new integrated drive is then mounted, connected, and commissioned. This process includes updating the parameter set and, optionally, the firmware. The application software facilitates these updates, ensuring the new drive functions correctly within the system. During maintenance, it is critical to observe safety instructions, such as switching off the power supply and securing it against accidental re-activation before working on the product. The device should be allowed to cool down to room temperature before handling, as metallic housing parts can reach high temperatures during operation. For vertical or slanted mounting positions, moving parts should be secured to prevent uncontrolled travel or falling when power is off. Regular checks of the device ID and parameter set status are recommended to ensure proper operation. In case of parameter set incompatibility errors, specific troubleshooting steps, including restarting the drive and re-uploading the parameter set, are provided.
