Promodul - U

What is to consider by retooling UCN or UCN2 to UCN20/50?

  • The CNC program and the SPS programming are identical
  • In the System with the UCN50 some of the modules are only permitted from newer building conditions.
    • Further advices can be found in SI08018 Advices for backfitting UCN to UCN50
    • The exchange of the CPU should only be done by experts with Schleicher system knowledges.

    How can I activate a foreign language in the NC Dialog?

    • On all CNC controlsin the operating system the dialog language are german and english by the Q-parameter Q24 and can be choosen 0 = german and 1 = english
    • With the CNC control unit Promodul-U UCN20 and UCN21 a third language can be reloaded and can be filed on a cassette. Which can be choosen by Q24=2t. If and what foreign language was reloaded, the mechine manifacture decides.
    • With all CNC control units UCN50/100 and FCN7 a foreign language can be reloaded. The foreign languages are numbered

      • The reloading of foreign languages should be done by skilled experts with Schleicher system knowledgements.

    Can PLC programs of the Promodul-U/-F always be read back on the programming software Prodoc-U5?

    Normally the SPS program can be read back from the control promodul-U /-F in the programming environment MULITPROG. Exception:

    • The mechine producer can specific delete the SPS sources in the control.
      Then it isnt possible to read back the program.

    Futher advices for memory management and back up can be found under :

    • In FCS7/FCN7 Handbook 32213449 in chapter 3.8
    • In UCS50/UCN50 Handbook 32214163 in chapter 3.6

    On the contol Promodul-U oder -F the LED RUN or the SPS RUN is blinking

    • A precise meaning of all LEDs in the control system Promodul-U can be found in SI08001 Promodul-U diagnose generell
    • The meaning of the LEDs of the Promodul-F CPU can be found in the handbook FCS7 / FCN7.
    • For extensive diagnose  a eror in the controll Error  Logbook mit  of the last 128 days is lead.
      • This Logbook can be shown with a CNC opeating mechine.
      • Alternativ the Logbook can be seen on a Pc with " terminal-operation ".
    • The error report and its meaning can be found in the handbook  UCS50/100 and UCN50/100 or FCS7 / FCN7.
      In this handbook the "terminal-operation " is desriped.
    • For this diagnose with the terminal-operation a PC with a serial interface and a terminalprogram is required( for example Hyperterminal) and a serial interface connection cable :
      • For Promodul-U with CPU´s Type UCS 50/100 or UCN50/100 this cable is a PC-PC Crossover cable with 2 times 9 pol DSUB jack, PIN 2 and 3 crossed and Pin 5 - 5 connected.
      • For Promodul-F and Promodul-U CPU´s Typ UCH, UCN, UCS10 and UCN20 a   cable with 9pol DSUB jack on15 pol DSUB pin where 2-2 and 3-3 and 5 (on 9pol DSUB ) - 7 (on 15 pol Pin) are connected.

    How often do the buffer batteries have to be changed on the control system?

    • XCX system, XCX20 and MicroLine: No bufferbattrie change is necessary.
      Because of a special battrie the buffering is secured for 8 months fully charged. The battrie is chargedin a 4 hour operation with supply voltage.
    • Promodul-U: At 25°C and a uninterupted buffering of 4 control units following times are garanted:
      • With a network mechine UNG115 or UNG230 : 1 year , typical life cycle 10 years
      • With network mechine: UNG24 : 1/2 year , typical life cycle: 5 Jahre
    • Promodul-F: At 25°C and a uninterupted buffering one year is garanted. The typical life cycle is 5 years.
    • Promodul-P03: Life cycle of the battrie: 3 years

    The Promodul-U control does not run

    • Check the condition of the LEDs of the control system

     

    • A precise meaing of all LEDs in the controlsystem Promodul-U can befound in SI08001 Promodul-U diagnose generell

    • If all LEDs are off check the voltage provision on the UNG.
      If the voltage is available, then the power supply unit might be broken or one of the module in the system and is overloading the system.
    • To find out if the power supply unit or one of the modules is broken:
      • Tun off voltage
      • DismantleaAll module from the rack and crowed back to the top
      • Plug in the modules again one by one and turn on the system again. After turning on check if the LEDs are shining opn the power supply unit.
      • If the LEDs on the power supply unit do not shine, then the broken module has been localised.

    What is to conside if exchanging a module in the system Promodul-U?

    • New modules with the identical product desription are comptible with the old moduels. With some of the moudles special features have to be considered:
      • USKDIM from building condition "B" : Use a new SPS functionblock F201.
      • UBA 0,5A The module will be replaced by UBA2A. Advices fo exchanging modules can be found in SI06005 .
      • USP2I and USP2A The curent building condition "AD" can not be used with CPUs of the typ UCN and UCN2 (up until year of production 1991).
        After exchanging the CPU  the insert of the system is possible.
        The exchange of the CPU should only be done by skilled experts with Schleicher system knowledgments.
