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

Rugged, Reliable Resolver as Position Transducer 
The M1050 combines the ruggedness of a brushless resolver and reliability of an advanced solid-state control. The rugged, heavy-duty NEMA 13 (IP54) resolver can be mounted on a machine shaft in any hostile environment, such as mechanical shock, vibration, extreme humidity and temperature changes, oil mists, coolants, solvents, etc. And the programmable control unit, M1050, can be mounted up to 2500 ft. away in a control panel. The splash proof, oil-tight front plate permits the unit to be installed directly on the machine itself, if required. The ratiometric converter assures high-tracking speed of 1800 RPM and high-noise-immunity.

Fully Isolated Inputs and Outputs
All M1050 inputs and outputs are fully isolated from user power sources to provide outstanding electrical noise immunity in harsh industrial environments.

 

APPLICATION SPECIFIC SOFTWARE FOR DIFFERENT INDUSTRIES


The M1050 Series of Programmable Limit Switches, is the most versatile family of PLSs on the market. In addition to the standard 8-channel PLS (M1050A) and 16-channel PLS (M1051), AVG Automation offers industry-specific PLS models that have unique features customized for that industry.

M1050A:   Eight built-in power outputs, Brake Monitor or ModZ, individual speed compensation, built-in motion detector and Tach, Pulse programming, supervisory controls, eight programs with external program selection.

M1051:     Eight built-in power outputs, eight NPN (sinking) outputs, Brake Monitor or ModZ, built-in motion detector and Tach, eight programs with external program selection, individual speed compensation for PLS outputs with four channels having 16 speed compensation zones, five PLSs in one unit with flexible group assignment, Angle­ON/ Time-OFF, Pulse programming, supervisory controls, and an RS-422A/RS-485A port for serial communication.

 

M1051-R10:
                Standard M1051, 16-channel PLS with
                sockets for electromechanical relays. Both,
                NO/NC contacts are available.

M1052:     Glue Gun Control PLS-- In addition to
                performing normal PLS functions, the M1052
                has a built-in Glue Gun Control. It has channels
                1-5 controlled by three Enable Inputs and a First
                Cycle Reset Input. This allows Programmable
                Enabling or Disabling of up to five glue guns
                based on three external inputs detected during a
                programmable window as well as resolver speed.
                Thus, a packaging machine equipped with a
                M1052 PLS can handle a variety of different
                packages on the same line. The M1052 PLS also
                has 16 programs as well as program duplication.
                The program selection is either from front panel
                or external digital input. It also has an optional
                4­20 mA. programmable Analog tach or eight
                additional NPN sinking outputs. The M1052 PLS
                has the capability of having different speed
                compensation values for leading and trailing
                edges of PLS outputs. Other standard features of
                the M1052 PLS include: built-in motion detector
                and tach, pulse programming, and supervisory
                controls.

M1053:     Registration Control PLS--In addition to
                performing normal PLS functions, the M1053
                PLS
has a built-in registration control. Channels
                15 and 16 provide programmable pulses
                (proportional to error signal) that advance or
                retard the drive motor to remain synchronized
                with a registration mark on the package
                enclosure. This mark is detected by an external
                sensor and fed into the M1053 PLS. Other
                features of this PLS include:  programmable
                reference position; programmable LOW and
                HIGH correction limits, programmable pulse
                width in ms; programmable frequency of

                registration outputs; individual channel speed
                compensation, built-in motion detector and tach,
                pulse programming and supervisory controls.
