As with the MINAS A5 series, the MINAS LIQI series is supported by a parametrization tool (Panaterm) and configuration software (MINAS selection tool).
Features at-a-glance:
-Incremental encoder: 2500 pulses per revolution
-Response frequency: 1kHz bandwidth (velocity response)
-Panaterm V5.0: Free software for configuration and motion simulation via USB port
-Real-time autotuning function during operation
-Damping (1-200Hz) and notch filters (50-5000Hz)
-Rotary switch (RSW): to set the stiffness manually
Panasonic offers a complete PLC/HMI/drive package for a special, one-time price. The starter kit contains a MINAS LIQI servo driver and a motor (400W or 750W), a compact PLC with 16 I/O points, a 3.8in touch terminal, a 24Vdc power supply unit, programming software, and all necessary cables. The package is rounded off with detailed documentation and wiring diagrams.
Also new from Panasonic is a range of high performance modular Programmable Logic Controllers. The FP7 Series comes with a choice of three CPUs and additional RS232C, RS485 Communication modules. Ethernet communications is also available, thanks to an integral 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T Ethernet port and future expansion cassettes. I/O expansion of the system can be realised with the following modules:
-Digital I/O in 16, 32 and 64 point density and Relay/PNP/NPN output modules
-Analogue I/O of 4 channel density supporting multiple voltage and current ranges
-Communication Cassettes supporting single or dual channel RS232C and RS485
-Motion Control Positioning units offering 2 and 4 axis control with Linear and Circular interpolation
