1C31181G01 Universal Mechanical Drive

The 1C31181G01 downloads and uploads parameters via the new Flash Drop – without charging the drive The module’s patented Flash Drop technology makes selecting and setting parameters as easy as operating a TV remote control. Important parameters can be downloaded and uploaded to the “powerless” drive in less than three (3) seconds using the handheld Flash Drop mfd-01 unit. The unit can store up to 20 different machine parameter sets and, for added convenience, each parameter set can be named to clearly indicate the relevant end user or application. A particularly useful feature is that the parameter settings are completed “on flash”, with no power connection to the drive; in fact, there is no need to even switch the drive on completely.” This also makes it easy for distributors to pre-configure the drive before delivery, and helps high-volume OEMs to streamline the commissioning process,” says the company.

The Flash Drop allows the menu structure to be customised.1C31181G01 parameters can be set and hidden, changing the appearance of the menu for faster setup and configuration. It also makes it easy for users to copy parameters between drives: simply upload them to the flash unit and then download them to a second drive. The flash drop unit can be connected to a PC for additional storage capacity and parameter sets can also be created or edited using the drive (parameter manager) PC interface. The flash is quick and easy to use and does not require specialised driver knowledge. And parameter sets can also be created or edited using the Drive (Parameter Manager) PC interface.

The 1C31181G01 has eight state sequence programming (plc like functions) Sequence programming is a standard feature in general purpose mechanical drives and provides an easy way to create pre-set sequences of operations without any drive options. These plc like programmes are sufficient for many basic applications where the drive controls the motor via sensor signals and limit switches. This helps to reduce the need for external PLC capacity and facilitates the reduction of complex motor control systems, reducing costs. Additional programming features include speed-compensated stops and programmable delayed stops – ideal for material handling applications that require precise stopping independent of changes in process speed.
