24V I/O
Introduction
The 24V signals allow start/stop control of the screwdriver, program selection, sequence
selection, error detection and clearing, and more.
The advantage of this system is the simplicity of the control, but its disadvantages are:
• Data acquisition capability is limited to OK / NOK. Torque and angle values cannot
be read via these I/O signals.
• The 24V signals are susceptible to being disturbed by electromagnetic interference
(EMI), especially in the highly noisy electrical environments often found in assembly
lines. Kolver recommends using shielded wires with grounded shields and ferrite
beads to limit EMI.
For these reasons, Kolver recommends using the more robust ethernet port with MODBUS
TCP whenever possible.
The I/O controls available via CN5 are:
• [I] Actuate the screwdriver motor in tightening direction (START)
• [I] Actuate the screwdriver motor in de-tightening direction (REVERSE)
• [I] Lock/disable the screwdriver (STOP)
• [I] Angle counting start
• [O] OK result
• [O] NOK result
• [O] Screwdriver motor status
• [O] STOP motor status
The voltage for both inputs and outputs must be brought in externally via the
corresponding positive and ground terminals.
