Updated CS AM series safety modules
Product Management Solutions
Information
Pizzato CS AM series include updated features like sensorless speed monitoring, more sophisticated motor control through parameterisation of the modules via software, and the ability to monitor motor operating data in real time.
The new series now includes three different types of safety modules, each dedicated to different control tasks:
- CS AM1• : Motor standstill monitoring
- CS AM2• : Monitoring of motor speed and direction of rotation
- CS AM3• : Combines the functionalities of both CS AM1• and CS AM2•
The three versions of the new CS AM series safety modules are available in permanently programmed or configurable version.
The latter is equipped with a USB Type-C port, which allows the device to be configured using special software, the CS AM Configurator, developed in-house by Pizzato Elettrica. The software can be downloaded by the user free of charge.
It is also possible to choose between safety outputs with OSSD or relay technology.
With the CS AM2 and CS AM3 versions, an inductive sensor can be connected to the module to detect faults not normally detected by products currently on the market, such as overload and rotor blockage.
All safety modules of the CS AM••P••• series can be programmed using the CS AM Configurator software.
The software is divided in 3 sections: Project, Setting and Monitor.
- In the Project section all relevant project information is entered and the required function can be selected and configured for each input and output of the module. Previously saved configurations can also be downloaded here.
- In the Setting section, parameters for the detection of motor standstill can be set, thresholds for minimum and maximum speed thresholds defined, and the detection of the motor's direction of rotation enabled.
- In the Monitor section, the status of the module's outputs, the residual voltage detected on the phases, the speed and the direction of rotation of the motor can be monitored and saved in real time.
