The 1756-M02AEK is an analog motion module designed for use in ControlLogix integrated motion systems. It is part of the Rockwell Automation ControlLogix family of products, which are widely used in industrial automation applications. The module is designed to provide precise control over motion systems, including servo loops, and is compatible with various types of sensors and actuators.
Technical Specifications
The 1756-M02AEK has several key technical specifications that define its capabilities and performance:
- Number of Axes: The module supports up to two axes of motion control, making it suitable for applications that require precise control over multiple axes of motion.
- Servo Loop Type: The module uses a nested PI digital position and velocity servo loop, which is a common configuration for industrial motion control applications. This type of servo loop is known for its high precision and stability.
- Absolute Position Range: The module can handle absolute positions up to 1,000,000,000 encoder counts, which is a very large range that can accommodate most industrial motion control applications.
- Rate: The module can operate at rates from 500 Hz to 4 kHz, which is a wide range that allows for flexibility in the selection of the operating frequency.
- Current Draw: The module draws 700 mA at 5.1V DC and 2.5 mA at 24V DC, which are typical current draws for industrial control modules.
- Power Dissipation: The module dissipates 5.5 W of power, which is relatively low for a motion control module.
- Isolation Voltage: The module has an isolation voltage of 30V continuous, which is a standard isolation voltage for industrial control modules.
- Removable Terminal Block (RTB): The module uses a removable terminal block (RTB) for connecting wiring. The RTB is available in two types: a cage clamp and a spring clamp. The cage clamp is suitable for heavy gauge wiring, while the spring clamp is suitable for lighter gauge wiring.
- Environmental Specifications: The module is designed to operate in a wide range of temperatures, from 0°C to 60°C (32°F to 140°F), and can withstand nonoperating temperatures from -40°C to 85°C (-40°F to 185°F). It is also designed to operate in environments with relative humidity levels from 5% to 95% noncondensing.
Alarm and Error Codes
The 1756-M02AEK module does not have specific alarm or error codes listed in the provided documentation. However, it is common for industrial control modules to have a set of standard error codes that can be checked using diagnostic tools or software. These codes typically indicate specific issues with the module's operation, such as communication errors or sensor malfunctions.
