1. Short Description

The P8511-000-R is a modern and compact solution for single axis tasks.
An extensive function pool allows to modulate the controller for individual applications:

• Three speed rates

• Absolute and incremental positioning modes
• Single set operation
• Manual operation
• Batch counter with completed output
• Pulse factor
• Datum setting routines
• Tool offset compensation in incremental mode
• Incremental error compensation
• Backlash compensation
• Tolerance window blanking
• Encoder monitoring
• Input frequency max.20 kHz

The unit is suitable for operation with any type of 2 or 3 speed bi-directional drive or any
variable speed drive with 1, 2 or 4 quadrant of control.
The performance and accuracy obtained is dependent on the type of drive chosen.
The outputs for stepped speed drives are relays.
These outputs can be configured in a number of ways to suit all types of control circuits.
The actual position is monitored by an incremental encoder.
The power supply unit is integrated.
The controller can be used to position machinery to any desired absolute position.
Alternatively, the controller can be used to feed material through a process.

NB: The stop offset is only effective when R8 = 1xxxxx.

2.3 Setting Datum

Datum can be set in a variety of ways. The method is selected in Register R8/3

R8 = xx0xxx Datum to R7
Closing input St 3 / 4 transfers the value set in R7
into Actual Value Display

R8 = xx1xxx Setting to Preset

Closing input St 3 / 4 transfers the Demand display
value into Actual Value Display

R8 = xx2xxx Automatic Datum setting - direction positive

R8 = xx3xxx Automatic Datum setting - direction negative

R8 = xx4xxx Datum with keypad alone

The value of R7 is transferred to Actual Display by
accessing R7, typing in value and then pressing E.

2.4 Encoder Monitoring

If, after positioning is activated, no Encoder pulses are received after a time set in R19 (0.1
to 9.9 sec), positioning will be aborted and fault 01 will be displayed.
Setting R19 to 0.0 sec, disables this feature.

5
2.5 Batch Counter

Register R18/6 sets the method of counting whether adding or subtracting

R18 = xxxxx1 Automatic subtracting

R18 = xxxxx2 Automatic adding
R18 = xxxxx3 Manual subtracting (external input signal)
R18 = xxxxx4 Manual adding (external input signal)
R18 = xxxxx5 Automatic add/subtract (Single only)
R18 = xxxxx6 Manual add/subtract (Single only)

With adding function, the counter starts from zero. When the set quantity is reached, the
quantity complete output will be pulsed. With subtracting function, counting from preset to
zero takes place. When zero is reached, the quantity complete output will be pulsed.

With add/subtract function, subtracting will take place if a preset value is entered. On
reaching zero, adding will ensue. When the quantity counter goes from 1 to 0, a pulse
output is given.
The length of this pulse is set in P11. Setting 0.0 gives a maintained output.

2.6 Error messages

When a fault occurs, it’s number flashes in Actual Value Display

Fault number 01 = Encoder

02 = End Limit minimum
03 = End Limit maximum

04 = Actual Position < min software limit (R13) Hand

Demand Position < min software limit (R13) Single

05 = Actual Position > max software limit (R14) Hand

Demand Position > max software limit (R14) Single

* 07 = External stop activated or wire break

The fault message is cleared by pressing any button.

“07” also flashes if Stop on front panel is activated in middle of any move.

*NB: External stop input must be linked before system can operate. Therefore, if
external n/c pushbutton is not fitted, then insert a permanent wire link.

 Registers R06 and R07 can be accessed and changed without need for the Security Code.
The Registers R50 to 55, 57 to 63 and 65 to 68 are for analogue output only.

7. Description of Registers

R01 Slow speed distance forward/reverse or forward only (see R28/2)

Distance at which the controller switches from high speed to slow speed. The output high
speed will be switched off.

R02 Creep speed distance forward/reverse or forward only (see R28/2)

Distance to demand position at which the controller switches from slow to creep speed

R03 Stop offset distance forward/reverse or forward only (see R28/2)

The overrun distance can be programmed to compensate for distance from the switch-off
point of the motor to standstill. For exact positioning, the overrun distance should be very
small (0.0 to 0.5 mm). Therefore the mechanical friction should be steady and the creep
speed should be very slow.
During commissioning, first set R12 to zero (to eliminate Tolerance window blanking),
then set the value of R03 to 0.0 and execute a number of moves in both directions. Note
the average overrun distance and then set R03 to that value. Then set R12 to suit.

R04 Backlash overrun

To correct for screw or pinion backlash, the Demand position should be approached from
one direction only. In positive direction therefore, the Demand position will be overrun by
the value of R4 and driven back at creep speed after a time delay of R10, to the Demand
position.

R05 Retract distance

There are different modes available in the P8511, selectable by Register R18/2.
If R18/2 = 0 Retract Position = Actual + R5
If R18/2 = 1 Retract Position = Value of R5
Whilst the input St3/6 is held on, the slide will move to the “Retract” position. On release of
input, slide will return to the original position. (Value 0)
When input St3/6 is activated, the slide moves to position as set in R5 but will not return to
original position on release of input. (Value 1)

R06 Tool offset compensation

This Register can be accessed without Security Code. When moving in incremental, it is
often the case that the subsequent function is a cut that removes part of the material.
Thus to cut the correct preset lengths, it is necessary to move the demanded distance plus
the “Tool Offset”. This feature is active in incremental mode.

11
R07 Datum
The Datum value is stored in this Register. The value is used in different ways, in
accordance with setting of P8/3. Input St3/4 initiates loading. This Register can be
accessed without Security Code.

R08 System Register 1

This Register sets the basic operating functions of the unit.

R09 Time position reached

During each move the controller gives an output to signal “positioning”. When 'in position'
the output is deactivated for the length of this pulse set in R9. Setting 0.0 gives a
maintained output. This output St5/1-2 is inactive when Actual position = Demand position
+/- Tolerance window R12

R10 Backlash dwell time

When the machine stops at the end of the overrun, it is usually desirable to have a short
delay. The time is set in this Register.

R11 Pulse “Quantity complete”

When the quantity counter goes from 1 to 0, a pulse output at St6/3-4 is given. The length
of this pulse is set in R11. Setting 0.0 gives a maintained output.

R12 Tolerance window

It is possible to enter a value in register R12 that represents an acceptable tolerance e.g.
0.1 mm. When the actual position is within the Tolerance window, the actual position
displayed is made equal to the target position. The actual error is not lost, as the controller
knows the true position.

Example: R12 = 0.2 Therefore tolerance window is +/- 0.2mm

16
 Single set operation
Immediately after start signal, the controller checks the software limits. If the Demand
position is greater or smaller than the corresponding limit, the controller will stop and show
the error message on the display. The backlash distance in R4 is considered at the check of
the Max software limit, if the backlash is activated in R8/6.

Manual operation (inching)

The movement will stop when software limits are reached. If moving at high speed, the
drive will drop to creep speed at a distance set in R1 from this limit. This prevents running
into the ends of the machine. The end limit values are modified by backlash value as set in
R4, if R8/6 is selected.

R15 Software limit / end-switch limits adjustment

Software limits (R13 & R14) are active in accordance with the setting of R15/6

xxxxx0 Both software limits active

xxxxx1 Min software limit (R13) inhibited
xxxxx2 Max software limit (R14) inhibited
xxxxx3 Both software limits (R13&R14) inhibited

External end-switches can be connected to the St4/3 negative direction and at St4/4 for
positive direction.

xxxx0x Both limits inputs active

xxxx1x Min limit input (St4/3) inhibited
xxxx2x Max limit input (St4/4) inhibited
xxxx3x Both software limit inputs (St4/3 St4/4) inhibited

N.B If these are not connected to limit switches they need to be connected “normally
closed” (i.e. linked out).

R21 Slow speed distance in negative direction

This parameter is important for application with different load conditions on forward or
backward if no use of automatic backlash compensation is desired. The Parameter R28/2
has to be set to 1 for activation.
Distance at which the controller switches from high speed to slow speed in negative
direction (the output high speed will be switched off).

R22 Creep speed distance in negative direction

Distance to demand position in negative direction can be set in this parameter at which the
controller switches from slow to creep speed

R23 Stop offset distance in negative direction

The overrun distance in negative direction can be programmed in this parameter to

9. Functions of Inputs (Terminals ST4)

St4/1 Terminal for pulling down signals to O V

(Pull up to +24v is an option – Factory fitted only)

St4/2 System Reset

Activating this input will hold the controller in a reset condition, i.e. all outputs &
displays are switched off and all other inputs are ignored (For test purpose only).

St4 / 3 & 4 End Limits

External limit switches can be connected Input at this terminal.
ST 4 Pin 3 = end limit -
ST 4 Pin 4 = end limit +
Error messages : End limit – “active” = 02
End limit + “active” = 03
N.B If these are not connected to limit switches they need to be connected
Normally closed (i.e. linked out).

St4/5 Fixed Position

Activating this input starts the Axis to move to fixed position set in R25.

10. Functions of Outputs Terminals ST5 & 6

St5 pin 1-2 Position reached / in Position

The signal is a pulse of time set in R9. When R9 is set to zero, the output is
latched till next start is given. The output is set when:-
Actual value = Demand value +/-Tolerance window R12
St5 pin 3-10 Run signals
In the parameter R8/5 the logical combination of the output relays 2-5 for the
motion of the inverter ore the external relay logic can be selected. See pages 12/13
for the available combinations
St6 pin 1-2 Drive inhibit
At Start this output is activated. When position is reached, output is reset after a
time of R29.
St6 pin 3-4 Quantity reached
The output is a pulse of time set in R11, when quantity is reached.
For quantity subtracting – when quantity = 0
For quantity adding – when input value is reached.
For quantity add/sub – when 0 is reached on subtracting

12. Installation Hints

Elgo Electric controllers are constructed to the latest standards of technology and protected
against noise.

To enable the controller to operate successfully, the following instructions must be carried out.

Location The unit must not be mounted in vicinity of high inductive or

capacitive powers or static electricity.

Power Supply: For 230 VAC single phase supply, avoid using the same feed as to motors
or contactors. Otherwise fit a Filter.

Cable: All low voltage cables must be run separately from power cables.

Screening: All external signal cables must be screened

1.Encoder cable
2.Input signal cable

All screens must be connected to a common earth point.

NB: Do not connect zero line to earth

Suppression: To avoid electronic noise. Suppress all coils in the cabinet and on
Machine.

1. RC network for ac coils (e.g. 0.1 µF+ 100 Ω)

2. Freewheel diode for dc coils
3. RC or similar suppressor for motor power lines and Brakes.
