GFK-1742A 2-1
Getting Started
Objectives of this chapter:
To help you become familiar with the components and cables used in a DSM servo system as
well as show you how they connect together.
To show you how to verify your motion system connections and functionality.
To identify supporting documentation providing detailed information on this subject.
This chapter serves as an introduction for those not familiar with the Motion Mate DSM314 motion
system. Following through the steps outlined here, you should be able to operate or Jog your
motion controller and servo in a short time. A minimum level of familiarity with the VersaPro 1.1
(or later) programming software is required. For information, please see GFK-1670, VersaPro
Programming Software User’s Guide.
Warning
Do not couple the motor shaft to mechanical devices for this exercise.
Additionally, it is important that the servomotor be fastened securely to a
stationary surface.
A typical DSM314 motion system includes the DSM314 motion controller, a Series 90-30
Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), motor(s), servo amplifier(s), I/O, and the Human Machine
Interface (HMI).
The DSM314 control system consists of two parts: the servo control and the machine control.
The
servo control
translates motion commands into signals that are sent to the servo amplifier. It
also runs the Local Logic and Motion programs. The servo amplifier receives the control signals
from the servo control and amplifies them to the required power level of the motor. The DSM314
provides the servo control.
The
machine control
(Series 90-30 PLC) houses the DSM314 module and I/O modules. The
machine control executes user defined control logic (but not Local Logic). The machine control
(PLC) and the servo control (DSM314) interface and exchange data over the Series 90-30
backplane.
