Important Information about this Manual
This manual has been prepared primarily to support this product in a single
controller application. It is a standard document that is intended to help the
user understand the individual operating characteristics and limitations of
this equipment including hazards associated with installation, setup and
maintenance procedures. Note the following points:
n This equipment has been designed to meet the requirements of a
component controller in an integrated controller system.
n While the potential hazards associated with the controller remain the
same when used in a system environment, it must be noted that special
considerations are to be given to characteristics of other peripheral
solid-state control equipment and the cumulative impact on safety.
n Manufacturers and engineering groups responsible for specification or
design of electrical control equipment must refer to applicable industry
standards and codes for specific safety guidelines and interface
requirements.
n In the actual factory environment, the user is responsible to ensure
compliance with applicable machine and operator safety codes or
regulations which are beyond the scope and purpose of this document.
1391 Series D Allen-Bradley’s commitment to continuing product improvement has led to
the introduction of the 1391 Series D Servo Controller. The catalog
number string for the Series D will be unchanged, however, the controller
nameplate will appear as follows:
CAT 1391B-xxx SER D
This new series incorporates a re-designed Power Driver Board that
increases manufacturing quality and provides a platform for new versions
of the 1391 that are now in development.
This enhancement is totally transparent to the user of this product. The
Control Board and all other components of the controller remain the same.
