Need Help to Communicate Parker Servo Drives via SLC 5/03

06/10/2012 1:44 AM

Dear Friends,

We have a setting machine in which 20 Parker Servo Drives and motors (name plate images attached) used to place the tools at desired position. The control system is a very old, PC based having MS DOS. The PC communicates with all drives via an RS232/485 converter and then a daisy chain to all drives.

As we have been facing problems with the control system, so we have started working to control the servo drives via an available SLC 5/03 and I/O cards. So I have two tasks to do now;

--> First make a parameter setting so the motor rotate in both directions if pressing FWD or REV P.Button.

--> Second, make a communication link of SLC 5/03 and drives to run the motors via PLC.

I need help from my friends how to attain that goal as i don't have any experience with servo drives in past. I read the manual of drive but need some help to complete the task.

Thanks in advance.

Parker still exists and still makes some excellent motion control systems. You should contact them directly.

Or contact L&T in Lahore for help with the AB PLC, there is a Serial Comms card available to give you an RS485 port. One way or the other, this is way too complicated for Internet forum help.
