M1050 PLS
THE HIGH-PERFORMANCE SELF-CONTAINED PROGRAMMABLE LIMIT SWITCH
    

Powerful, Easy-to-Learn, Human-Machine
AVG Automation's human factors engineering has made it possible to program all PLS functions with only five front panel keys and a smart front panel display:

With these five self-explanatory programming keys, programming the M1050 is extremely simple. No long complex key sequences to remember.

Patented Up & Down Arrow Keys for Fine-Tuning in Motion
All programmed values, except Scale Factor and the PLS program number, can be adjusted with the machine running, making fine-tuning of job parameters easy. Two fully isolated supervisory inputs prevent accidental or unauthorized program changes.

High-Speed Operation
The M1050 PLS can operate up to 1800 RPM while maintaining a timing accuracy of less than 100 µs.

Multiple Program Storage Makes Job Changeover Easy The M1050 PLS can store up to eight independent, user-defined PLS programs for different machine setups. The M1050 is easily configured to accept either front panel or external PLC­compatible input to select a program.

Built-in Speed Compensation for All PLS Outputs 
The M1050 PLS features a rate offset to compensate for speed variations. This rate offset represents a positive number that varies linearly with RPM. The rate offset is added to the resolver position and is used to advance the PLS settings as a function of the machine speed. In M1050, the rate offset can be programmed in Scale Factor units per 10 or 100 rpm, depending on model, up to full Scale Factor value.

Built-in Tachometer and Motion Detector
The built-in tachometer and motion detector are accurate to 1 rpm and are updated over 68 times per second to provide fast, accurate indication and detection of rotary motion. The motion detector is programmed to energize a power relay output when the machine's RPM falls between the low or under-speed limit and the high or over-speed limit. The motion detector output status is always indicated on the front panel.

Built-in Fault Detector
The fault output is normally energized when the M1050 PLS is operating properly and the resolver wiring is intact. If an internal M1050 fault is detected, or the power fails, or one or more of the resolver wires is broken or disconnected, the fault output will de-energize. Under fault conditions all PLS outputs and the motion output will de-energize.

Brake Monitor Option
The M1050 Brake Monitor measures the time it takes to bring a rotating machine shaft to a full stop. If the shaft fails to stop within specified safety limits, Caution or Danger outputs are turned OFF. If the shaft stops safely in time, the Safe output turns ON.
