Assembly and Operating Manual
1. There are potential risks associated with the unit, for example if:
- the unit is improperly used, installed or serviced.
- the unit is used other than for the intended purpose.
- the EC Machine Directive, the accident prevention regulations, the VDE
guidelines or the safety and installation instructions are not observed.
2. All personnel who are responsible for installation, commissioning and servicing
must have read and understood the entire operating manual, in particular the
chapter on »Safety«. It is recommended to have this confirmed in writing.
6. During operation dangers can be caused by the rotary unit due to:
- moving or rotating parts
- or hot surfaces – up to 110°C!
7. The electric unit is not suitable for use in potentially explosive areas.
If the electric rotary unit is to be used in special applications (e.g. potentially
explosive areas), always comply with the required standards and regulations (e.g.
EN 50014 and EN 50018).
The approval for such special areas of application must always be obtained from
Schunk in writing.
8. Ensure compliance with EMC directives when connecting the unit.
12. Repairs in and on an electric rotary unit may be carried out only by the
manufacturer or an authorized repair center.
Unauthorized opening and improper handling can result in bodily injury and
material damage.
13. Electronic devices are not fail-safe. The user is personally responsible for ensuring
that the drive is in a safe state in the event of a failure.

Assembly and Operating Manual
The actuator (the brushless DC servo motor) is controlled by the internal logic, which receives
the required parameters from the master controller.
The module executes a movement. Their position is monitored constantly. The required data is
transmitted by sensors back to the internal logic.
The unit is controlled via the user interface, where the required data is transmitted via the in-
ternal logic. You can define the following parameters, for example:
- Current i;
- Angular positioning
- Speed v;
- Acceleration α.

SCHUNK advises the use of an active terminator (e.g. Siemens 6E7 972 0DA00-0AA0)
4 PowerCube-Module 1 to n
A secure and lasting function of the modules is achieved by limiting the cable lengths to the
given maximum. Longer cable connections or use of low quality cables can lead to instable
communication and loss of power.

egration and initial opera
ation
These are
a the 5 ste eps you nee ed to take:
- Check the e system reequirementss (see Chap pter 7.2 pag
ge 22)
- Install the
e communiccation interfface (Hard- and Softwa are)
(see Cha apter 7.3 pagge 23)
- Check electrical con nnection to a power supply and too the commuunication interface
(see Cha apter 6.2 „ele
ectrical con
nnection“ pa
age 16 to 188)
- Install the
e Demo-Sofftware (Pow werCube So oftware) (see Chapter 7
7.4 page 233)
- Check the e correct function of the module with
w the Dem mo-Softwaree (see Softwware man-
ual Powe erCube.pdf)

Assembly and Operating Manual
Please refer to the installation procedure provided by the vendor of the interface board. All nec-
essary manuals are shipped with the SCHUNK CD-Rom. For latest information please refer to
these websites:
manufacturer Website
ESD Electronic GmbH www.esd-electronics.com
Siemens AG www.ad.siemens.de/profibus
Table 11
Every communication board has an own test program shipped with the board. Using these test
programs you can verify the correct installation of the board.
The PowerCube Software is used for a fast start-up and checking of your PRL-Modules. Instal-
lation Files can be found on the provided CD-ROM.
1. Insert the CD-ROM into the CD- drive of you PC and start „PowerCube.setup“.
2. Follow the instructions on your screen.

9.1. Cleaning
The module may disassembled and repaired only by SCHUNK, otherwise the warrantys ex-
pires!
10. Accessories
The Terminal Block has one connection area for input (on the follow picture IN) and one for
output (on the follow picture OUT).
The Terminal Block allows the connecting of an emergency push button for the connected
PowerCube modules
The emergency push button connected to the clamps NIN and NOUT switches off the power
supply VM1 und VM2.
Additional the power supply VM1 ,VMS ,logic UL and emergency-circuit are protected by fuses
