1-1 H6630EM Product History
This product was developed originally as a solution to applications that required a unique engineered
solution beginning in 2009. The early controllers were assigned part numbers in a series that began
with H4506. Some controllers were hydraulic, some were electro-mechanical, and some were both. The
series spans from H4506-2148 to H4506-2239. Refer to only the original drawings supplied with
your specific systems!
1-2 Overview
The H6630EM controller performs the entire range of guiding, control and measurement applications.
The unit provides required servo motor control and performs as a self-contained unit allowing interface
through a front mounted color touchscreen operator interface or through networked communications.
The controller can be used for edge guiding, center guiding and master/slave applications. It accepts
inputs from all Fife Corpooration detectors – edge guiding and center guiding, as well as any
commercially available sensor that meets the voltage/current specifications. Position feedback is
supplied through an absolute encoder located within the AC servo motor. No external transducer is
required. The controller is powered by 460-380Vac, 3 phase, 48/65Hz and requires a 15 amp service.
Optional 230-200Vac service is available.
The H6630EM controller has a color touchscreen operator interface (described as the HMI or Human
Machine Interface). The HMI replaces traditional pushbuttons and includes screens specific for
operation, maintenance, setup and diagnostics. Using the HMI, the system setup, sensor calibration,
and gain settings are established.
Basic components to complete a system are as follows:
• H6630EM Controller with 7” Color Touchscreen
• Detector/Sensor (refer to “Connecting Peripheral Devices” and the applicable maintenance
sheet for the device being used).
• H5535 Series AC Servo Linear Actuator Assembly with internal absolute encoder
• H5535 Series Cables
Troubleshooting is facilitated through maintenance screens that prompt the user to the potential
problems. Diagnostics are provided to troubleshoot the control system. Additional diagnostics are
provided to resolve issues with the entire guiding system, i.e., controller, sensor, feedback devices and
strip guiding performance.
Network communications to the controller can be performed over a variety of network protocols
available for the H6630EM controller. The local HMI provided communicates to the controller over
Ethernet using the Modbus TCP/IP protocol. The H6630EM control panel contains an Ethernet switch
to provide local and network connectivity. The local HMI provides for control locally but, also is used for
system setup, maintenance related readings and configuration.
Input and Output Mapping for command and status words for using remote networking are provided by
Fife Corporation.
