Rockwell Automation 1746-QS QUICK START SYNCHRONIZED AXES - Manual

Publication 1746-10.3 – December 1997
Synchronized Axes Control Module
(Catalog Number 1746-QS)
Use this abbreviated procedure for getting the 1746-QS module into operation.
The following software and documentation are available for download from our website:
•
User Manual for the Synchronized Axes Control Module, publication 1746-6.19
•
Hydraulic Configurator Software to set up, tune, and troubleshoot axis movement
•
Ladder Logic File of example logic to sequence module operation to the machine
Chapter references in this procedure refer to the user manual, publication 1746-6.19.
1. System Requirements for the Synchronized Axes Control System Chapter 1
In addition to the 1746-QS module, you must have (or purchase) the following:
– PC with 4 MByte of available disk space
– Interface Module (terminal blk) (1492-AIFMQS)*
– Windows ’95

operating system – Interface Module cable (1492-ACABLExxxQS)*
– SLC 5/03 processor (or later) with M0/M1 files – Interface cable: PC to QS (1747-CP3)
– Comm. Interface (1784-KTX) if using SLC 5/04 – RSLogix500 Ladder Logic Software
* Required for CE Certification. Otherwise, recommended for wiring convenience.
2. System Configuration and Wiring Chapter 2
Important: Connect the following to earth ground: a) all cable shields (except for amplifier output cable)
at one end only b) LDT flange and machine frame c) IFM Terminal Block GND terminal 51 d) I/O chassis
