Servo gain adjustment is complete just by turning on the one-touch tuning function. With this function, machine resonance suppression filter, advanced vibration suppression control II*, and robust filter are automatically adjusted to maximize your machine performance.
* The advanced vibration suppression control II automatically adjusts one frequency.
The advanced vibration suppression control II suppresses two types of low frequency vibrations owing to vibration suppression algorithm which supports three-inertia system. This function is effective in suppressing residual vibration generated at the end of an arm and in a machine, enabling a shorter settling time. Adjustment is easily performed on MR Configurator2.
With advanced filter structure, applicable frequency range is expanded to between 10 Hz and 4500 Hz. Additionally, the number of simultaneously applicable filters is increased to five, improving vibration suppression performance of a machine.
Achieving both high responsivity and stability was difficult with the conventional control in high-inertia systems with belts and gears such as printing and packaging machines. Now, this function enables the high responsivity and the stability at the same time without adjustment. The robust filter gradually reduces the fluctuation of torque in wide frequency range and achieves more stability as compared to the prior model.
The capacity of main circuit capacitor is increased by 20% as compared to the previous model, increasing the tolerance against instantaneous power failure. The increased tolerance reduces machine downtime and then improves productivity.
Servo amplifiers of 2 kW or smaller are compatible with power
supply voltage of 1-phase 200 V AC to 240 V AC.
* When 1-phase 200 V AC to 240 V AC power supply is used with servo amplifiers of
1 kW and 2 kW, use the servo amplifiers with 75% or less of the effective load ratio.
The servo amplifiers of 1 kW and 2 kW cannot be mounted closely when 1-phase
power is input.
When an instantaneous power failure is detected, this function allows the servo amplifier to use the electric energy charged in the main circuit capacitor in the servo amplifier to avoid an alarm occurrence, increasing the machine availability even with an unstable power supply.
Setting position data (target position), servo motor speed, and acceleration/deceleration time constants in point table is as easy as setting a parameter. Up to 31 points are settable for the point table. The positioning operation is performed with a start signal after selecting the point table No.
Create positioning programs with dedicated commands. The positioning operation is performed with a start signal after selecting the program No. The program method enables more complex positioning operation than the point table method. Maximum of 16 programs are settable. (The total number of steps of program: 480)
Various patterns of cam data* can be created easily by using MR Configurator2. Command pulse or point table/program start signal can be used as input to the simple cam. The input command will be outputted to the servo motor according to the cam data.
* Cam curve can be selected from 12 types (constant speed/constant acceleration/5th curve/single hypotenuse/cycloid/distorted trapezoid/distorted sine/distorted constant speed/trapecloid/reverse trapecloid/double hypotenuse/reverse double hypotenuse). For details of simple cam function, refer to in the catalog.
With the encoder following function, the servo amplifier receives A/B-phase output signal from the synchronous encoder as
command pulse, and the input command will be outputted to the servo motor according to the cam data. By setting cam data that
matches with sheet length, a diameter of the rotary knife axis, and synchronous section of the sheet; a system in which the
conveyor axis and the rotary knife axis are synchronized can be configured. Up to 4 Mpulses/s of input from synchronous encoder
is compatible with the servo amplifier.
The command pulse input through function allows the first axis to output A/B-phase pulse from the synchronous encoder to the
next axis, enabling a system the second and later axes are synchronized with the synchronous encoder.
The actual position of the servo motor can be obtained based on the inputs from the sensor that detects the registration marks printed on the high-speed moving film. The servo amplifier calculates compensation amounts and corrects position errors of the rotary knife axis based on those inputs from the sensor so that the film can be cut at the set position.
In addition to RS-422 communication (Mitsubishi general-purpose AC servo protocol), RS-485
communication (MODBUS® RTU protocol) is supported.
MODBUS® RTU protocol is compatible with function code 03h (Read holding registers), etc.
Controlling and monitoring the servo amplifier by external devices is possible.
Compatible function code
While the point table is in operation, the next target position of the point table can be overwritten.
While the point table is in operation, the position data is latched by the mark detection function, and the current position latch function let the controller to obtain the latched data.
● Servo data such as motor current and position command before and after the alarm occurrence are stored in non-volatile memory of the servo amplifier. Reading the servo data on MELSOFT MR Configurator2 helps you analyze the cause of the alarm.
● Check the waveform ((analog 16 bits x 7 channels + digital 8 channels) x 256 points) and the monitor values of 16 alarms in the alarm history.
Machine resonance suppression filter is automatically readjusted when a change in machine resonance frequency is detected by the servo amplifier. Losses from the machine stop due to age-related deterioration are reduced.
This function detects changes of machine parts (ball screw, guide, bearing, belt, etc.) by analyzing machine friction, load moment of inertia, unbalanced torque, and changes in vibration component from the data inside the servo amplifier, supporting timely maintenance of the driving parts.
MR-JE series displays the alarm No. in three digits to show the servo alarm in more details, making troubleshooting easy.
HG-KN series and HG-SN series are rated IP65 and IP67 respectively.
* The shaft-through portion is excluded.
The power cable, the encoder cable, and the electromagnetic brake cable are led out to either in direction of or in opposite direction of the load side, depending on the selected cables. (HG-KN series)

Maintenance
Check cumulative operation time and on/off times of inrush relay. This function provides an indication of replacement time for servo amplifier parts such as capacitor and relays.
This function estimates and displays machine friction and
vibration in normal operation without any special measurement.
Comparing the data of the first operation and after years of operation helps to find out the aging deterioration of a
machine and is beneficial for preventive maintenance.
