Installation and Commissioning
Mount the module on a grounded DIN rail or panel. Keep fiber bends above the rated radius. Use the F-SMA connector to link each drive in the SERCOS ring. Therefore, verify keying and slot count before power-up. For commissioning, use position or velocity mode as needed. Check fiber continuity first. The 0.5 ms cycle supports fast multi-axis sync. In addition, the module draws 969 mA at 5.2 VDC, so confirm backplane budget before adding modules.
Compatibility Note
Use this module with 1768-L43 and 1768-L45 controllers only. Supported drives are Kinetix 2000, Kinetix 6000, Kinetix 7000, and Ultra 3000 SERCOS drives. Cable options include 2090-SCEPxx-0, 2090-SCNPxx-0, 2090-SCVPxx-0, and 2090-SCVGxx-0. Moreover, the module carries standard Allen-Bradley quality and isolation ratings.
Packaging, Shipping, and Warranty
The package includes one 1768-M04SE module. It comes with a 12-month warranty from Oiltech Controls. We ship by FedEx, UPS, or DHL with tracking. Consequently, you get reliable delivery and clear traceability.
Typical Applications
This module suits packaging lines, assembly cells, and small motion systems. These machines need tight multi-axis sync. The module supports 4 axes plus 2 auxiliary feedback axes. As a result, it fits retrofits where a compact controller must run SERCOS drives.
Diagnostics and Support
The module reports SERCOS ring status and drive faults through the controller. Check the fiber link and drive power first. Use the cycle time limits to spot overload. For help, contact info@oiltechcontrols.com or +86 158 8020 0923.
