Note that these servo systems are designed, configured and tested to meet

CE Mark specifications. In addition to the servo drives and motors,

EMERSON Motion Control also offers filters and cables that satisfy

compliance of the entire servo drive system.

FX Drives with the CE Mark designation have the same features and performance

specifications as EMERSON Motion Control’s popular FX Drives.

PCX Programming software allows these drives to be set up and running in a

matter of minutes. These drives are programmed with the same easy-to-use

PCX Programming Software used with standard FX Drives.

CE Mark FX Drives are also compatible with EMERSON Motion Control’s complete 

range of application modules. These modules provide FX Drives with additional hardware

and programming capacity to perform specificapplications.

Examples of these applications include press feed control, random infeed control,

phase synchronization control, and cam profiling control.

Recently, the use of individual control products in Europe requires conformance

to standards recognized by the European Union (EU) member states.

These standards were designed to allow quick and fair market access throughout

the EU. The Electro-Magnetic Compatibility (EMC), directive – 89/336/EEC,

requirement placed on vendors is one of the toughest standards

regulating electromagnetic emissions and noise immunity.

Briefly, the EMC Directive states that components, such as servos, are considered

small portions of larger machines and therefore may not need individual compliance.

It would then be the machine builder’s responsibility to conform to the EMC Directive

for machines going into Europe. This approach, taken by many servo manufacturers,

places compliance burden completely on the machine builder.

Product testing by the machine builder will therefore be an excessively large expense.

The fact that EMERSON Motion Control products already posses the CE Mark is a distinct

advantage for machine builders. New models in our popular FX Drive series cover continuous

torque ratings ranging from 8 to 120 lb-in.

These models  include the FX-208CE through the FX-6120CE.

and PCM module. The FX and PCM module were the genesis of the current

generation of “Motion Made Easy” solutions.

FX Amplifiers are matched with EMERSON Motion Control’s DX and BL Series of Brushless Servo Motors.

These motors utilize advanced mechanical designs and the latest in magnetic

material technology to yield exceptionally high torque to inertia ratios.

These motors are virtually maintenance free and can be ordered in splashproof IP65 versions.

Thermal sensors provide additional protection for the motors.

FX Drives are programmed using EMERSON Motion Control’s PCX Software

for DOS or PCXWin for Windows™ software which is included with the purchase of an FX Drive.

This software leads the user through the application with a simple menu-driven

question and answer format.

No knowledge of high-level programming languages is required.

Dynamic Gain Compensation (DGC), a unique feature of the FX Servo Drive,

eliminates the need for potentiometers and manual calibration. DGC provides stable operation

over the full torque and velocity range with load-to-motor inertia mismatches as

high as 10:1 out of the box without any adjustments.

Optically Isolated I/O lines are programmable with status indicators,

choice of current sourcing or sinking for each line, choice of normally on or

off state for most Input linesand voltage ranges from 10 to 30 VDC.

Product Description

AMS Asset Monitor manages pervasive sensing while providing prediction,

protection and edge process monitoring capabilities, mounting at the asset to

reduce cabling requirements and installation costs. It accommodates up to

12 CHARMs including Vibration CHARMs as well as DeltaV CHARMs for process inputs.

AMS Asset Monitor features powerful out-of-the-box software functionality via

web browser for analysis, reporting, and alerting. This web-based thin client interface

features an internal Logic Studio with pre-programmed application solutions for

easy-to-understand analysis and alert reporting, and its Asset Studio interface delivers

asset information to the user’s mobile device or desktop thin client.

Although no additional software is required to monitor assets with AMS Asset Monitor,

it may be paired with AMS Machine Works software to deliver real-time updates on assets,

perform deeper analysis (as compared to native thin client interface), and deploy from cloud

architectures for ultimate scalability. Data from AMS Asset Monitor processed at the edge is

provided to AMS Machine Works on demand, on alert or on schedule, and can include waveform

data and status information for detailed analysis using the vibration analyzer tool in AMS Machine Works.

AMS Asset Monitor can be configured to send overall asset health status and alerts to AMS Optics via

OPC UA.

The installation of additional software on PC or laptop is not necessary. Web browsers

can be used to configure and control AMS Asset Monitor.

The input signals measured by sensors mounted on the equipment are connected

through sensor-specific CHARMs to the signal processing of the AMS Asset Monitor.

The preprocessed sensor signals are forwarded to the prediction unit for analysis based

on predefined rules with configurable parameters. The prediction results are output

based on selectable logics through output CHARMs or forwarded to other connected

systems through the Ethernet interface. The input sensor signals are also forwarded

to the unit for basic protection. The typical reaction time of the basic protection is

<1 second. Detected alarms are issued via output CHARMs.

Emerson’s AMS Asset Monitor manages pervasive sensing while providing edge

analytic results. It’s designed to mount at the asset, reducing cabling requirements

and other installation costs. For larger systems, multiple units can be daisy-chained

together to extend asset coverage.
