Electrostatically Sensitive Components

ESD are single components, integrated switches or modules, which during handling,
testing or transportation can be damaged by electrostatic fields or electrostatic discharges. In English these parts are called ESDS (ElectroStatic Discharge Sensitive Devices).
Handling of ESD devices:
When handling electrostatically sensitive components make sure that operator,

workplace and packing material are properly earthed
Generally, electrostatically sensitive components must not be touched unless work

has to be carried out on them.
Touch components of the equipment only if
you are permanently earthed by means of an antistatic chain
you are wearing ESD boots or ESD boots with earthing strips in conjunction
with an ESD flooring.
Modules may be set down only on electrically conducting surfaces (table with ESD
top, conductive ESD foam plastic, ESD packing bags, ESD transport containers).
Keep modules away from visual display units, monitors, or TV sets (minimum distance from screen > 10 cm).
Modules must not be allowed to come into contact with electrically insulating materials such as plastic film, insulating table tops or clothing made of synthetic fibers.
Measurements on modules are allowed only if
Use for intended

purpose only
the measuring instrument is properly earthed (e.g. equipment grounding conductor) or
before measuring with a potential-free measuring instrument, the probe is briefly discharged (e.g. touch the unpainted metal parts of the control housing).
The equipment may be used only for applications stated in the manual and only in
conjunction with devices and components (e.g. SIMATIC S7) recommended and
authorized by SIEMENS.
The applications are described in:

FM-NC
The SINUMERIK FM-NC is a low-priced automation product for machine tools of the
lower performance range. It consists of a SIMATIC S7-300 automation system and an
NCU 570 function module, both of the same modular packaging system with which up
to four axes/spindles can be controlled. The system can be expanded to control a fifth
axis/spindle with the FM 354.
SIMATIC S7-300
The automation system consists of a CPU and different input/output devices fixed on a
mounting channel.
The construction is of the single- or multi-tier type, depending on the configuration.
One SIMATIC S7-300 CPU can control up to four tiers with a maximum of eight bus
users each (see Figure).
PLC
The S7-300 CPU and the connected digital or analog signal modules (SMs) together
form the PLC area of the control. The CPU 314 can control a maximum of 512 inputs or
outputs.
Positioning axes can also be integrated in the PLC area if the system includes the
relevant function modules (FMs).
NCU 570
The NC area consists of the NCU 570.

The NCU 570 communicates
with the SIMATIC S7-300 CPU via serial I/O and communication bus,
with up to four stepping motor drives via a 10 V interface with a maximum of four
servo drives and/or via pulse interfaces,
with incremental or absolute measuring systems via four measuring circuit

interfaces and
with operator panels (OP), programmers (PG) and machine control panels (MCP) of
different performance classes via the multi-point serial interface (MPI).
A 20-way front connector with point-to-point connections is used to connect:
2 probes
4 sensing elements, e.g. non-contact sensors
2 handwheels
If necessary, the NC area can be expanded by configuring the NCU 570 to control an
FM 354 via a local bus. In addition, signal modules can be controlled (the maximum
configuration per tier must not be exceeded) to implement additional NC-specific
inputs/outputs on the local I/O bus.
FM 354
The FM 354 communicates as an axis expansion module
via serial I/O bus with the NCU 570

via a 10 V interface with a servo drive and
via a servo loop interface with an incremental or absolute measuring system.

FM STEPDRIVE
For several applications, it is possible to implement feed axes with low cost stepping
drives. FM STEPDRIVE is a performance control for 3-phase stepper motors up to 15
Nm (SIMOSTEP). FM STEPDRIVE is actuated via the drive interface of NCU 570.

A power supply unit (PS 307) can be arranged to the left of the SIMATIC S7-300 CPU.
It is connected to 230 V automating voltage on its primary side and provides 24 V
direct voltage on its secondary side.
The PS 307 can also be arranged in tiers 1 to 3 to the left of the IM module.
The PS 307 is available in three versions:
S 24 V/2 A
S 24 V/5 A
S 24 V/10 A
Single-tier construction
The single-tier construction consists of the S7-300 CPU, the NCU 570 and a maximum
of seven modules (SM, FM).
The SIMATIC S7-300 CPU drives all eight bus users and provides the logic power
supply for their signal modules.
The NCU 570 has its own power supply terminal for supplying its logic.
Multi-tier
construction
In the multi-tier construction, an interface module (IM) must be arranged in tier 0 to the
right of the S7-300 CPU. Beside the interface module, eight modules (SM, FM and the
NCU 570) can be arranged.
Tier 1 and each consecutive tier starts with an interface module (IM) and may
incorporate another eight modules (SM, FM, NCU 570). Power supply to the logic is
from the IM which has its own power supply terminal.
One system may have a maximum of two NCU 570.
In configuring the construction, the following parameters of the modules must be taken
into account:
S Mounting dimensions
S Power inputs from 24 V
S Power inputs from the 5 V I/O bus supply
References:
Distributed
arrangement
/S7H/, Manual
The multi-tier construction allows distributed arrangement of modules because the tiers
can be connected by IM connecting cables with a maximum length of 10 m.
For example, in the case of two-tier construction, signal modules can be arranged up to
10 m away from the NCU 570, in the case of four-tier construction up to 30 m.
Local P bus
The S7-300 CPU can usually address all 32 bus nodes via the serial I/O bus. However,
the NCU 570 can interrupt this bus. This means that all modules positioned to the right
of the NCU 570 can then only be addressed by the NCU 570 but not by the S7-300
CPU.

Configuring the mechanical construction
NCU 570 in the

S7-300
PJ
The NCU 570 is installed in the SIMATIC S7-300 control as a function module. Adding
the CPU 314 and input/output modules makes up the FM-NC control.
Regarding the S7-300-CPU the NCU 570 behaves as a function module (FM).
Configuring the
mechanical construction
The manual SIMATIC S7; S7-300 Automation System; Configuring an S7-300 tells
you which possibilities there are for configuring the mechanical construction and how to
proceed.
References:
/S7H/, Manual
Some additional information supplementing the instructions in the manual is given

below.
Mounting position
Preference should be given to the horizontal mounting position.

For the vertical mounting position, the necessary limitation of ambient temperatures
should be taken into account (maximum 40 C).
Points to be observed when configuring the mechanical construction
When configuring the mechanical construction of your control which determines the
mounting location of the NCU 570, the following rules should be followed:
1. A maximum of eight SMs or FMs (including the NCU 570 and FM 354) can be
mounted in each tier.
2. This maximum number may be restricted by the width of the modules or the length
of their mounting channel.
The NCU 570 requires a mounting width of 200 mm, the FM 354 80 mm.

Measures for interference suppression

In addition to the protective earthing of system components in accordance with VDE,
special precautions must be taken to guarantee interference-free operation of the
system. These measures include shielded signal cables, special equipotential bonding
and earthing conductors.
Shielded signal
cables
Only use specified cables according to the individual diagrams to ensure safe,
interference-free operation of the system. As cable connectors the specified connector
types only should be used.
For signal cables, the shield must always have a conductive connection to both sides
of the housings.
Exceptions:
1. Standard shielded cables connected to one side only can be used for devices of
other makes (printers, programmers, etc.).
These devices must, however, not be connected to the control during normal
operation. Whenever operation with devices of other makes is unavoidable, the
shields must be connected to both housing sides. In cases like this, the device
must additionally be connected to the control by means of an equipotential bonding
conductor.
2. For analog signal (e.g. 10 V interface to the drive unit), one-sided connection of
the shield to the control side should be preferred to suppress mains irradiation.

Setpoint and actual value cables

In order to maintain the greatest possible noise immunity of the whole installation
(control, power section, machine) the following EMC Guidelines must be observed:
The space between signal and load cables must be as great as possible.
If necessary, signal and load cables can cross over (at an angle of 90, if possible)
but they should never run close together in parallel.
Signal cables from and to the NC and PLC should only be those offered by
SIEMENS.
Signal cables must not be placed in the neighbourhood of strong external magnetic
fields (e.g. motors and transformers).
High-current/high-voltage cables carrying pulses must always be led completely

separate from all other cables.
If it is not possible to maintain an adequate distance between cables, signal cables

must be shielded by laying them in cable ducts (metal).
The distance (interference irradiation area) between the following cables must be
as small as possible:
Signal cable and signal cable
Signal cable and accompanying equipotential bonding conductor
Equipotential bonding conductor and protected conductor incorporated in the

cable

SINUMERIK FM-NC control system
What is the
NCU 570?
The NCU 570 is a microprocessor-controlled module for the position-controlled motion

control of up to four axes/spindles for servo or stepping motor drives.
Together with other system components it makes up the SINUMERIK FM-NC control
system.
Considered from the S7-300 CPU, the NCU 570 operates like a function module (FM).
Further system
components
S7-300 CPU as PLC CPU, e.g. CPU 314

S7-300 signal modules (SMs) as input/output modules

Use
Positioncontrolled motion
control for servo
axes
The NCU 570 enables the position-controlled motion control of up to four axes. Three
of these axes can be dependent (interpolating). The NCU 570 provides for this purpose
for each axis one analog output for the setpoint speed and one position encoder input
for cyclic measurement of the actual position value.
This is the way feed drives are normally controlled.
Spindle control
Spindles can be controlled by analog outputs by just setpoint speeds being output. A
position encoder is not required.
Rotary axes
If the spindle position (angle of rotation) is measured by a position encoder, this spindle
can be moved to an exact position like a servo axis (rotary axis operation).
Stepping motor
control
In addition to the analog setpoint outputs, the NCU 570 is provided with pulse outputs
for up to four stepping motor axes. In this case, the stepping motor is controlled via
clock pulses. The number of pulses determines the position and their frequency the
speed (velocity) of the spindle. The actual position value is not measured in controlled
operation, the position controller considers the number of output pulses (setpoint
position value) to be the actual value. To ensure exact positioning, the motor must not
lose any steps.
Positioncontrolled stepping motor control
The NCU 570, having one position encoder input per axis, offers the possibility of
operating stepping motors under position control like a servo axis.
Incremental measuring system
As a rule, position encoders are installed for position measurement. These supply
counting pulses for the traversed path increments according to their resolution. Both
rotary encoders and linear scales can be used for this purpose.
Reference point
approach
To determine the absolute position of an axis, the control evaluates the zero mark of
the incremental position encoder when a reference cam is overrun (cam connected to
the PLC).
Absolute measuring system
Absolute encoders with serial interface can be connected instead of conventional

incremental position encoders which only supply one measure for the path traversed.
No reference point approach is required any more because these measuring systems
always supply the absolute position as actual position value.
-Distance-coded re-
When linear scales with distance-coded reference marks are used as position
encoders, measurement has to be performed across three marks only to determine the
reference point because the control can establish the absolute position from these
three distances.

NC
NCU 570 (NC)

1.2 Use
07.94
53
Reference point
approach with
BERO
For stepping motor control, the zero pulse of a position encoder can be replaced by a
proximity switch (BERO) attached to the shaft of the stepping motor and connected to
the NCU 570.
Handwheel
operation
The machine can also be operated by hand by connecting up to two handwheels

which can be assigned to defined axes and the rotary movement of which is measured.
Measuring
Two probes can be connected and assigned to defined axes. In measuring mode, the
actual position value is measured when a probe is reached during the traversing
movement.

Signals:
One clock, directional and enable signal is provided for each channel as true and
negated signal.
PULSE (CLOCK)
The clock pulses serve to control the motor which performs one step with each
rising pulse edge.
The number of output pulses determines the angle of rotation, i.e. the path to be
traversed.
The pulse frequency determines the speed of rotation, i.e. the traversing velocity.
Important
If your drive unit reacts to trailing clock edges, you must change the true for the negated clock signal when wiring. Otherwise discrepancies may result between the position calculated by the control and the actual position.
DIRECTION
The output signal level determines the direction of rotation of the motor.
ON signal:
OFF signal:
Counter-clockwise rotation
Clockwise rotation
Note
If the direction of rotation of your motor should be other than stated above, your can
reverse the direction of rotation via machine data. Make sure that the assignment of
signal levels to the direction of rotation is correct by checking up in the Technical Documentation provided for your drive unit.
ENABLE
The NCU 570 activates this signal when cyclic control operation is started.

Signal parameters
All signals for stepping motor drives are output via differential signal line drivers in
accordance with the requirements of the RS422 standard. The power section should

Important
Please note that the maximum current that can be drawn from the 5 V power supply
(P5EXT terminals) must not exceed 1.35 A for all connected position encoders and
handwheels.
If you intend to use position encoders with 24 V operating voltage, the 24 V DC power
supply is distributed to the D Sub sockets, i.e. the encoders can be supplied via the
signal cable without any additional wiring being required. The voltage supplied is
protected electronically against short circuits and thermal overload and is also
monitored.
Important
Please note that the maximum current that can be drawn from the 24 V power supply
must not exceed 1 A for all position encoders connected.

System Overview
What is the
FM 354?
The FM 354 is a microprocessor-controlled module for the position-controlled motion

control of a servo drive.
In an S7-300 automation system the FM 354 is used as a positioning control.
FM 354 with
FM-NC
The FM 354 serves as an axis expansion module in the FM NC control system.

It is connected to the local bus of an NCU 570. The scope of functions of the FM-NC is
thus extended to
one additional feed axis or spindle
