Functional overview of the library

Item	Hardware component	Elements
1	Lexium motion controller	IEC Area with variables of type: oST_UserMotorData oST_UserMotorDataACIM oST_UserMotorDataPMSM oST_UserMachineEncoderData	Mass storage (for example flash card) o.blh oMotor data provided by Schneider Electric o.mdf oMotor data
3	Drive	Standard components oFirmware of the drive oFPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) oTypeplate of the drive	Memory area for motor data of type ST_UserMotorData for connected motor, if data cannot be stored directly in the motor encoder.
6	Motor with optional encoder	Optional motor encoder Supported ET_EncoderType elements for motor encoders: oSinCos Hiperface oSinCos oSinCos Hiperface Linear oSinCos Linear
8	Machine encoder	Supported ET_EncoderType elements for machine encoders: oSinCos Hiperface

Preconditions / Restrictions

oTo use the machine encoder functionality, a machine encoder with a Hiperface feature and Lexium 62 Advanced Plus drive must be used.

One of the following preconditions must be met in addition to the Hiperface:

oThe encoder has a generic typeplate.

oThe encoder is of type:

– SC• 60, SR• 50, SK• 36 (•=S or M)

– SEK 37, SEL 37, TTK 70 Schneider Electric version, L 230

oBLH files can be read from a PacDrive LMC controller and be transferred to drive or motor encoder. These files cannot be created by the library, but they are provided by Schneider Electric.

oIn case the Hiperface memory area is needed in the motor encoder or the machine encoder, a minimum size of 2 kByte physical memory is needed.

NOTE: If you are using a third-party motor, follow the instructions in the following section.

Typical Use Cases of the Library

oFor the use of third-party motors with SinCos encoder:

oIn case motor encoder has the Hiperface feature, the motor typeplate data can be written to motor encoder.

oIn case of no Hiperface feature or not enough Hiperface memory, the motor typeplate can be written directly to the drive.

oFor the use of third-party motors without motor encoder: the motor typeplate data can be written directly to the drive (for example, asynchron motor).

oFor the use of Lexium BMP motor with Lexium 62 Plus or Lexium 62 Advanced Plus by writing .blh file for the motor to the drive.

oFor the use of Lexium 62 Advanced Plus with machine encoder with a Hiperface feature and enough Hiperface memory area by writing machine encoder typeplate data to the machine encoder.

oFor the use of third-party motors to copy motor encoder data to a file (backup copy).

Using Machine Encoder

Step	Action
1	Create encoder data with ST_UserMachineEncoderData of the PacDrive LMC controller. The preparation of data in this structure can be done offline. Only the transmission of data to the drive has to be done in Sercos phase 2.
2	Transfer the encoder data to the machine encoder by using the function block FB_InitMachineEncoder when Sercos bus is in phase 2.
3	Restart the Sercos bus (Phase 0 -> Phase 4) to activate the new parameters.

Using Third- Party Motors

Step	Action
1	Create motor data (.mdf) with ST_MotorData in the IEC memory area.
2	Use this structure as an input of FC_MotorDataFileCreate and create a motor data file to the controller.
3	Set correct value of the parameter MotorIdentification: oSet motor with type plate / 0 if the storage location of the typeplate is the encoder. oSet motor without type plate / 2 if the storage location of the typeplate is the drive.
4	Verify that Sercos is in phase 2.
5	Call up the function block FB_MotorDataWrite with the drive object and the name of the motor data file. Result: The function block signals via q_xDone that the motor data has been written to the drive. You must set the Sercos to phase 4 in the application. The axis can be used with a third-party motor.

Application examples of third-party motors are described in the chapters Asynchronous Motor and Linear motor.
