features:
ULTRA Plus Requirements for Compliance with European Directives
To comply with European directives, your ULTRA Plus system must include
the following components:
• A 24V sourcing I/O conversion card
• An AC line filter
• Shielded power cables
For more information about compliance with European Directives for
1398-PDM-10, -20, -30, and -75, refer to the ULTRA Plus Installation
Manual (Publication 1398-5.1).
Feature Description
Dialog editor
The GML Ultra Dialog Editor window allows you to quickly assemble standard
motion icons into a natural, graphical representation of the application. You
can quickly assemble and modify your GML diagram to capture the basic logic
of the process without the complexity of a traditional programming language.
After you complete the basic diagram, you can easily add required information
in a “fill-in-the-form” dialog box exposed by double-clicking on each motion
icon.
Configuration and
setup windows
The pull-down configuration and setup windows prompt “fill-in-the-form”
dialog boxes that allow setup and selection of the control, drive, and I/O
parameters from preset default values. Because all adjustments are available
through the PC, manual adjustments of the positioning drive module are
eliminated.
Tuning
ULTRA Plus provides automatic closed loop gain compensation for velocity and
position loops. This unique algorithm provides a refinement to factory default
settings in more demanding applications. Multiple choices are offered for
different application types.
Application library
GML Ultra provides a library of sample application diagrams and templates that
you can quickly and easily modify to reduce programming and commissioning
time.
Help screens
GML Ultra provides comprehensive, context-sensitive help screens to provide
assistance for on-the-spot programming questions.
Online manager
The Online Manager window allows monitoring and control of real-time tasks
and access to GML Ultra diagnostic features like direct commands and watch
window. From this window, you can jog an axis, observe selected variables
and I/O, monitor feedback, get status information, and much more. Online
trace allows you to control and to observe program flow to identify process and
program problems.
