Application Note TM Generic Drive Interface: Using Siemens S7 PLC Range Via Profinet
Motion Control Products Application note TM Generic drive interface: Using Siemens S7 PLC range via Profinet AN00263 Rev D Ready to use PLC function blocks, combine with a pre-written Mint application for simple control of MicroFlex e190 and MotiFlex e180 drives via PROFINET IO Introduction This application note details how to import and configure the ABB Generic Drive Interface (GDI) and associated TIA portal library ‘ABB Motion GDI Library’ using TIA portal (version 15 or later) project and any SIMATIC S7 CPU (S7-1200, S7-1500, S7- 400) using FW 3.3.12 or later. The same principles can be applied for older Simatic Step 7 projects though firmware versions before V3.xx should be avoided. The library provides pre-written data structures and function blocks that integrate seamlessly with the Mint based GDI and allow suitable Siemens PLCs to control ABB drives running Mint programs that support PROFINET IO (MicroFlex e190 and MotiFlex e180). Note that MicroFlex e190 and MotiFlex e180 drives must be provided with the Mint memory card (option code +N8020). The instructions promote consistency in all projects and greatly simplify the development of Siemens PLC motion control applications where simple point to point motion is required. This document assumes that the reader has basic knowledge of Siemens PLCs, SIMATIC S7, PROFINET IO configuration, Mint Workbench and the Mint GDI. It is recommended that the reader refers to application note AN00204 for details on the Mint GDI operation and configuration. Pre-requisites We will need to have the -
Investigation, Analysis and Design of the Linear Brushless Doubly-Fed
AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Farroh Seifkhani for the degree of Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering presented on February 8, 1991 . Title: Investigation, Analysis and Design of the Linear Brush less Doubly-Fed Machine.Redacted for Privacy Abstract approved: K. Wallace This thesis covers theefforts of thedesign, analysis, characteristics, and construction of a Linear Brush less Doubly-Fed Machine (LBDFM), as well as the results of the investigations and comparison with its actual prototype. In recent years, attempts to develop new means of high-speed, efficient transportation have led to considerable world-wide interest in high-speed trains. This concern has generated interests in the linear induction motor which has been considered as one of the more appropriate propulsion systems for Super-High-Speed Trains (SHST). Research and experiments on linear induction motors arebeing actively pursued in a number of countries. Linear induction motors are generally applicable for the production of motion in a straight line, eliminating the need for gears and other mechanisms for conversion of rotational motion to linear motion. The idea of investigation and construction of the linear brushless doubly-fed motor was first propounded at Oregon State University, because of potential applications as Variable-Speed Transportation (VST) system. The perceived advantages of a LBDFM over other LIM's are significant reduction of cost and maintenance requirements. The cost of this machine itself is expected to be similar to that of a conventionalLIM. However, it is believed that the rating of the power converter required for control of the traveling magnetic wave in the air gap is a fraction of the machine rating. -
A BRIEF INTRODUCTION to TUBULAR LINEAR MOTORS Linear Motors Provide Direct Thrust for Positioning a Payload, Eliminating the Need for Rotary-To-Linear Conversion
PRODUCT OVERVIEW – DIRECT-DRIVE LINEAR MOTOR SYSTEMS A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO TUBULAR LINEAR MOTORS Linear motors provide direct thrust for positioning a payload, eliminating the need for rotary-to-linear conversion. The three main direct-drive linear motion systems on the market today – iron-core, U-channel, and tubular linear motors – each have distinct advantages and disadvantages with respect to specific applications, for example regarding form factor, achievable force density, and efficiency. Understanding the differences will enable a designer to select the best motor option. Iron-core motor • Magnetic saturation The basic structure of the iron-core motor (Figure 1) is When the generated forces are pushed beyond the similar to that of an unrolled rotary motor with discrete normal operating range, the iron will reach magnetic stator and magnetic poles.

Design of Plc Controlled Linear Induction Motor
www.ijcrt.org © 2018 IJCRT | Volume 6, Issue 1 January 2018 | ISSN: 2320-2882 DESIGN OF PLC CONTROLLED LINEAR INDUCTION MOTOR 1Ashish Bachute,2Akash Babar,3Balaji Bagal,4Abhay Bhagat, 5Prof. Anupma Kamboj 1Department of Electrical Engineering, 1JSPM’s Bhivarabai Sawant Institute of Technology and Research, Pune, India Abstract: This paper presents a simple and fast methodology for designing a linear induction motor (LIM). A linear induction motor is an AC asynchronous linear motor that works by the same general principles as other induction motor but is very typically designed to directly produce motion in a straight line. Characteristically, linear induction motors have a finite length primary, which generates end effects, whereas with a conventional induction motor the primary is an endless loop. Their uses include magnetic levitation, linear propulsion and linear actuators. They have also been used for pumping liquid metal. Despite their name, not all linear induction motors produce linear motion some linear induction motors are employed for generating rotations of large diameters where the use of a continuous primary would be very expensive. Linear induction motors can be designed to produce thrust up to several thousands of Newton’s. The winding design and supply frequency determine the speed of a linear induction motor. Index Terms – Linear induction motor (LIM), magnetic levitation, programmable logic controller (PLC) I. INTRODUCTION A LIM is basically a rotating squirrel cage induction motor opened out flat. Instead of producing rotary torque from a cylindrical machine it produces linear force from a flat one. Only the shape and the way it produces motion is changed. -
ELECTRICAL ENERGY UTLISATION Jacek F
ELECTRICAL ENERGY UTLISATION Jacek F. Gieras and Izabella A. Gieras Adam Marszalek Publishing House, Torun, 1998 This text evolved from notes used in teaching an undergraduate course Energy Utilisation at the University of Cape Town. As the curricula of electrical engineering programmes became more and more overcrowded, many electrical engineering departments decided to limit the number of compulsory courses in heavy current electrical engineering. As a result, the number of lectures in electrical machines and related subjects have been reduced. Under such circumstances students need a concise textbook which covers electrical motors with emphasis on their performance, selection and applications, characteristics of modern electrical drives including variable speed drives and the use of electrical energy in households. This textbook deals with fundamentals of electrical motors, drives, electrical traction and domestic use of electrical energy. It is intended to serve second or third year students taking a one-semester course in energy utilisation or electric power engineering. Transformers and electromechanical generators have been omitted as transformation and generation of electric power is usually covered by a parallel course in power systems. The textbook consists of seven chapters: 1. Energy and drives, 2. D.c. motors, 3. Three- phase induction motors, 4. Synchronous motors, 5. Variable-speed drives, 6. Electrical traction and 7. Domestic use of electrical energy. Chapter 7 also contains principles of illumination. For a one semester course and two lectures per week the authors recommend the first four chapters. For four lectures per week the authors recommend all seven chapters. Students using this textbook should have taken courses in circuit theory and electromagnetism as prerequisites. -

A permanent magnetic linear oscillating synchronous motor (PMLOSM) provides reciprocating motion which can drive a piston pump directly having advantages of high frequency, high reliability, and easy commercial manufacture. Hence, researching the tracking perfor- mance of PMLOSM is of great importance to realizing its popularization and application. Traditional PI control cannot fulfill the requirement of high tracking precision, and PMLOSM performance has high phase lag because of high control stiffness. In this paper, an advancing motivation feedforward control (AMFC), which is a combination of advancing motivation signal and PI control signal, is proposed to obtain high tracking precision of PMLOSM. The PMLOSM inserted with AMFC can provide accurate trajectory tracking at a high frequency. Compared with single PI control, AMFC can reduce the phase lag from −18 to −2.7 degrees, which shows great promotion of the tracking Citation: Jiao, Z.; Cao, Y.; Yan, L.; Li, precision of PMLOSM.
