4. Get Manual, Hydraulic Configurator Software, & Ladder Logic Files from the Internet Chapter 3
Path to the Allen-Bradley website: http://www.ab.com
extension to manual: /manuals (Application Systems Library, publication 1746-6.19)
extension to Hydraulic Configurator and ladder logic: /mem/appsys/prodinfo/applac/appla/qssw/index.html
Download manual, Hydraulic Configurator, and ladder logic to separate subdirectories in your hard drive.
5. Set Up Communication Between PC and QS Module Chapter 3
1. Connect the PC serial port (COM1) to the QS module’s 9-pin connector with a 1747-CP3 cable.
You may run RSLogix500 and Hydraulic Configurator softwares if COM1 & 2 are both available,
or if you provide a KTX card for DH+ connection to SLC processor with another 1747-CP3 cable.
2. Open Hydraulic Configurator. Main screen appears. If also “No Motion Controller Detected”, then
check the 1747-CP3 cable connection between PC and QS module, and/or go to step 3.
3. Set Hydraulic Configurator COM port to match your PC. To do this, pull Monitor Options from
Tools in the ToolBar. In the window, enter the COM port number you used in step 1.
You can run Hydraulic Configurator offline to access help screens, and view stored data and axis plots.
6. With Hydraulic Configurator, Set Up and Tune Each Axis Chapter 4
1. Enter the type of LDT in the Configuration word.
2. Determine the Offset and Scale Parameters and the Extend and Retract Limits in open-loop mode.
3. Determine the value of the Dead Band Eliminator.
4. Tune each axis in closed-loop mode, independent of ladder logic.
5. Save configuration parameters for each axis in SLC memory.
7. Create Ladder Logic to Run Your Application Chapter 5
We provide sample ladder programs to illustrate preferred methods of using the module.
You may download them from our website and use them as a base for creating your own logic (step 3).
1. Configure I/O for SLC processor: module slot number, ID = 13627, advance config M0 = M1 = 64.
2. If using our logic, modify rungs and addresses to match your system.
3. Integrate synchronized axes movement with ladder logic using status bits and command words.
