5.2 Expansion Module MAC00-B1/B2/B4
5.2.1 Expansion modules MAC00-B1, B2 and B4 — overall description
The expansion modules MAC00-B1, B2 and B4 can be mounted in all the standard MAC
motors up to MAC3000. These modules are among the simplest and lowest cost mod
-
ules in the product range. The modules contain no intelligence (microprocessor).
The MAC00-B1, B2 or B4 expansion module offers an industrial interface that mates with
the standard MAC motor and offers a number of feature enhancements, including:
• Different kinds of connectors for more reliability (compared to the basic motor it-
self).
• Full RS232 protocol support for use with standard serial cable.
• Full RS485 protocol support for multipoint communication up to 100m.
• Sourcing (PNP) outputs for status signals O1 and O2 instead of sinking (NPN).
• Only MAC00-B1: LEDs to indicate: O1, O2 output status. Zero switch (analogue in-
put) status and Input power status.
• Only MAC00-B2 and B4: Dual supply. The main supply can be removed but the con-
trol circuitry is kept active and position data and communication are still functional.
Typical applications for these expansion modules are:
• Closed loop systems with an overall controller involved.
• Replacement for pneumatic cylinders using the “Air Cylinder mode”
• Dispenser systems
• Simple velocity or torque control via +/-10V input.
• Machine adjustment/setup by sending RS232 or RS485 commands.
The B1, B2 and B4 are equivalent except for the following hardware differences:
