Xsel2 - IAI America

Function 1

PLC is not required

CODESYS equipped

What is CODESYS (CODESYS for XSEL2)?

CODESYS is a PLC software and peripheral functions compliant with the international PLC programming language standard IEC 61131-3, developed by CODESYS GmbH.
Among the peripheral functions, XSEL2 adopts the EtherNet/IP scanner and OPC UA server.
Dedicated programming software (comprehensive development environment) is provided.

Ex. PLC programming

Ladder Logic (LD)

Sequential Function Chart (SFC)

Function Block Diagram (FBD)

Structure Text (ST)

Instruction List (IL)

Function 2

Equipment startup time can be reduced

OPC UA server equipped as standard

Communication is possible across multiple industrial network barriers (standards).

Usage examples

Data collection within factories

Ex.: MES (production execution system which grasps and manages the manufacturing process as well as providing directions and support to workers)
SCADA (system which uses a network to collect, monitor, and control equipment and facility information)

Digital observation and startup (offline teaching)

Actuator operation can be confirmed on a 3D simulator by programming with the XSEL2 PLC function and transferring to the 3D simulator with OPC UA.

Function 3

Connectable on the same network

Master [Equipped with EtherNet/IP scanner as standard]

With the XSEL2 as the master, connection with various devices, including IAI devices, is possible.

Function 4

Prevents equipment downtime in advance

Preservation [Predictive maintenance Function] [Preventative maintenance Function]

■ Predictive Maintenance

Fan speed monitor
Motor overload status monitor

■ Preventative Maintenance

Predicting internal capacitor life based on temperature and operating time
Monitoring present position, motor current value, and maintenance information.
(Maintenance information: Number of travel cycles, running distance, etc.)

■ Actuator Recognition Function

Actuator information can now be confirmed with teaching tools. There is also an area where customers can freely write information to the actuator.

Function 5

Programming is simple

Library [Function blocks supported]

Function blocks for general basic commands and IAI-specific commands are available.

Function blocks

Ex.:

Basic commands

Timer
Counter
Edge detection, etc.

IAI commands

Home return
Servo ON/OFF
Direct value specified travel, etc.

Usage example of IAI-specific function blocks

Ex.: Servo ON → Home return → Linear interpolating travel to registered position No. (reciprocal motion)

Function 6

ELECYLINDER can be connected

ELECYLINDER connection supported

Connect the ELECYLINDER, CCM, and Robot Pump
directly to the ELECYLINDER connection module for control.
Additionally, REC can be connected via EtherNet/IP.
