Ge Fanuc 90-30 PLC IC693DSM302 - Motion Mate Digital Servo Module (DSM302)

Overview: The IC693DSM302 Motion Mate is a high-performance, two-axis motion control module that integrates seamlessly with the Series 90-30 PLC. This module is capable of controlling GE Fanuc digital servos and, starting from firmware version 1.40, analog servos such as the GE Fanuc SL Series or third-party analog servos.

Key Features:

    Digital Signal Processor (DSP): Provides precise control of GE Fanuc servos.
    Fast Block Processing: Executes processes in under 5 milliseconds for fast and accurate motion control.
    Advanced Tracking Features: Includes Velocity Feedforward and Position Error Integrator to improve tracking accuracy.
    High Resolution: Supports high-resolution units for Position, Velocity, and Acceleration.
    Simple Motion Programs: Allows for 1- or 2-axis motion programs with synchronized block start.
    Program Storage: Capable of storing 10 motion programs and 40 subroutines in non-volatile memory.
    Firmware Upgrades: The DSM302's firmware, stored in Flash memory, can be upgraded via the front panel COMM port using a 6-pin RJ-11 connector (IC693CBL316 cable).
    Easy I/O Connection: Simplifies I/O connections with factory cables, terminal blocks, and a serial port for programming devices. The serial port also supports firmware updates.
    Servo Control: Controls GE Fanuc digital servos, analog SL Series servos, and third-party analog servos.
    I/O and Feedback:
        Home and Overtravel switch inputs for each servo axis.
        Position Capture Strobe Inputs for enhanced position feedback.
        Supports 5V, 24V, and analog I/O for PLC use.
        A Quad B Encoder input for Follower Master axis.
    13-bit Analog Output: Can be controlled by the PLC or used as a Servo Tuning Monitor.

Technical Highlights:

    High-Resolution Programming:
        Position: –8,388,608 to +8,388,607 User Units.
        Velocity: 1 to 8,388,607 User Units/sec.
        Acceleration: 1 to 134,217,727 User Units/sec².
    Automatic Data Transfer: Seamless data transfer between PLC tables and the DSM302, no additional programming required.

Ease of Use:

    Motion Programming: Includes a simple and powerful motion instruction set for easy programming.
    No Special Programming Needed: Automatic data exchange between the PLC and DSM302 reduces the need for extra programming.
    Servo Feedback: Supports Home and Overtravel inputs as well as strobe inputs for precise position feedback.

Connection Ports:

    RS-232 Port: Used for firmware upgrades and loading motion programs.
    Servo Axis Connectors: Separate connectors for Servo Axis 1 and Servo Axis 2.
    Auxiliary Axis (Follower): Additional connectors for auxiliary axes control.

Conclusion: The IC693DSM302 Motion Mate Digital Servo Module offers a highly flexible and reliable solution for controlling both digital and analog servos. With fast processing, advanced features, and easy integration with the Series 90-30 PLC, it's an excellent choice for high-precision motion control applications.
