The interface of the Models 1000 and 1000A with a
process controller is dependent upon the ability of the PC
to handle the required signals.
Most of the signals are +24 VDC or 48 VDC (positive
and negative 24 VDC supplies for control), or +10 VDC for
speed. You may also use computer generated frequency
signals for speed in the DIGITAL mode.
There are two types of input modules.
A "sinking" connection uses the Programmable
Controller’s own power, or an external source, and
connects it (sinks it) to common level by the connected
input device. The drawing on the left illustrates the method
for using an open collector output to "sink" the input of a
+24 VDC PC input module using an external supply from
the drive.. When the transistor turns on, it turns on the
input module.
A “sourcing” connection turns on the PLC module by
supplying power to it. The second figure shows a sourcing
connection. Notice, however, the inverted sense, that is,
when the transistor turns on, the input is not.
You can use the fault output with connections similar
to those in the above figures. You can use a PLC input
module, with the FAULT output of the control at TB1
terminals 12 and 13, to sense a FAULT in the drive. The
bottom figure illustrates this.
You need to keep in mind that the FAULT isolated
output transistor is "ON" when there is no fault present.
You should accomplish all of the programmable
controller operations of the standard control circuits of the
Models 1000 series controls with relays. These circuits
see 24VDC to ground, but they operate at 48VDC. RUN,
JOG, STOP, and EMERGENCY STOP inputs operate on
+24 VDC supplies. The circuitry, however, actually
operates between positive and negative supplies, and it is
difficult to make connections that do not involve both
power supplies.
