Völkel PLC – Common features

The universally programmable controllers are intended for use in mobile work machines. They are all based on the proven Völkel Hardware Platform which provides four different basic types and a modular system. This is the means used by the controllers which complement each other‘s advantages with the benefits of free programming – according to the international stan-dard IEC 61131-3 and in the programming language C.

Performance features

Integrated current drivers for proportional solenoids Integrated drivers for analogue inputs, frequency inputs and

switch inputs Inputs and outputs diagnosis-capable Flexible use of the inputs and outputs due to

parameterisable controller configuration Expansion, connection via the CAN bus Equipped for remote diagnosis via modem Completed with an installable display

PLC short introductionThe PLCs from Völkel which are suitable for mobile use have at least on CAN interface for machine environment communication and an RS232 interface for commissioning and PC diagnosis. The software enables varied hardware use; the inputs and outputs can almost be configured as desired. The overview shows how many inputs and outputs can be used for special function – however not simultaneously.

Programming with CODESYS

The control system application for the Völkel PLC isprepared using the IEC 61131-3 programming system (CODESYS) CODESYS is a full PLC development environment with a Windows screen. It basically consists of three parts:

Editors for the development of application codes

A compiler to translate the application for thecontrol system

Diagnosis and commissioning functions

Völkel PLC, CODESYS monitor

All IEC 61131-3 programming languages aresupported:

CFC – free graphic style Continuous Function Chart editor

FBD – Function Block Diagram – for visual support when programming procedures

COP – Contact Plan – for clear graphic depiction of the primary links

ST – Structured Text, the PLC high level language which is closely related to conventional programming languages such as PASCAL or C

SFC – Sequential Function Chart – expands the programming concept by a clear depiction of the program conditions and program status transitions

IL – Instructions List – as the common elementary language for all IEC 61131-3-compatible controllers

The proportional outputs are equipped with an integrated current controller. The current rate is provided directly in [mA]. The adjustable dither frequency hinders the solenoid valves from „sticking“. Alternatively, these outputs can also be operated as switch outputs

Proportional outputs can be alternatively configured as PWM outputs

Proportional outputs can be alternatively configured as frequency outputs

Proportional outputs can be alternatively configured as PVG outputs

Proportional outputs can be configured using parameterisable output characteristics with resting, trigger and maximum signal value as the current output

Frequency inputs incorporate reversible measurement ranges

Frequency inputs can alternatively be configured as switch inputs

Switch inputs can be operated using reversible pull down or pull up resistors

Switch inputs are evaluated in analogue form via parameterisable switching thresholds

Analogue inputs can be configured either as voltage or current inputs. They provide mea-surement values directly in [mV] or [µA]

Analogue inputs can be depicted using a parameterisable input characteristic for the value ranges 0...10,000 (pedal operation type) or -10,000...10,000 (joystick operation type

Analogue inputs can be configured for the ratiometric measurement of potentiometers

Visualisations prepared using CODESYS can be transferred directly to the controller and shown on the display. Comfortable parameter input via the controller keyboard can be linked to visualisation elements

BrainBox® test box/simulation box

When developing the software, the test box/simulation box provides help.

The integrated sensors and actuators enable important software tests,accelerating development. External sensors and actuators can also beconnected.

For commissioning, the test box is plugged directly into the BrainBox® and connected via the service lines (provided within the scope of delivery). If an RS232 connection is made to the PC, all the BrainBox® outputs and inputs can already be operated.

The control functions at the inputs and outputs and the requiredparameters can be optimised systematically using the test box. The simulation reduced the software test on the machine itself and makes it more meaningful.

The modular MMC PLC

The MMC, the modern PLC for mobile work machines, is a control unit consisting of a basic controller (master) and extension modules (slaves). The size of the control unit can easily be scaled individually.Depending on the inputs and outputs required, the number of modules in the system can be varied.

At the same time, the MMC acts externally in the control environment like one single controller.The extension modules are connected at operating system level and is therefore especially easy: the system identifies new models automatically via their connector coding.

MMC modular PLC – performance features

The modular MMC controller provides one master and three different types of extension (slaves):

Test and simulation boxes

The MMC test and simulation boxes for masters and slaves support the software development. Its integrated sensors and actuators enable testing and optimisation of the input and output functions and the parameterisation like on a real machine.

Optionally, external sensors and actuators can be connected. The simulation replaces functional software tests on the machine and leads to fast, convincing results. This considerably reduces actualcommissioning.

To set up the test environment, the controller is plugged into the correct simulation box which is connected via the servicelines provided and an RS232 connection is made to the PC.Now all inputs and outputs are available for simulation.

Housing, common features

All PLC housing from Völkel is specially designed for the extreme operating conditions for mobile applications and has both a mechanically and climati-cally high capacity. The protection category IP65 protects effectively against the infiltration of dust and water jets, protection category IP69K provides wide-ranging protection when cleaning using high-pressure cleaners. The ventilation membrane hinders that damp condenses in the inside of the housing.

Some of the housing includes an LED on the front panel which provides information regarding the operating status.

BLM, HCX and HCY housing

Due to their common hardware platform, the housing dimensions are identi-cal. Special feature: installed LED for status display.
