4 Step by step software setup
4.1 Allen Bradley PLC with SMAC CBC-EIP drives
Step 1: Provide 24/48V power supply to the CBC-EIP drives and also disable the
STO using the pins shown in section 2.1.3.
Step 2: Install LCC Control centre and Motion lab software from SMAC website.
Step 3: Copy and paste the System Macro V2.mlm file into C:\Program
Files(x86)\SMAC\LCC Control Centre\System Macro V2.mlm
Step 4: If firmware update is performed on the CBC-EIP drive, move to section 4.3
and then come back to Step 5. If not, then proceed to step 5.
Step 5: Load the configuration file (.mlc) that you have received from SMAC tech
support or from SMAC website, using motion lab software/ LCC Control
centre.
Step 6: If the actuator is a single phase, then create a homing routine using LCC
Control center. If it is a multi phase actuator, create a phasing routine
and then a homing routine using LCC Control center.
Step 7: Change the IP address of the drives to match with PLC IP address
and computer’s IP address as shown in section 2.2.2
Step 8: Create the necessary program routine using LCC Control Centre and download
it into CBC-EIP drives using “Save All into controller” button. Check to see, if
background macros 37-63 are downloaded into controller as seen in status bar.
Step 9: Setup home position for actuator near the rear end stop (2mm from the retract
end). Make sure the PID settings are tight( When position move is performed, the
target position is reached with tolerance of 1-20 counts for 1 micron actuators
and 1-10 counts on 5 micron actuators.
Step 10: Open RS Logix 5000 V20.03 software and load the .eds file using Tools>
Eds hardware installation Tool using Rockwell automation eds wizard.
