MAC00-B1 JVL RS232/RS485 Expansion Module

The JVL MAC00-B1, MAC00-B2 and MAC00-B4 expansion modules can be mounted in all the standard JVL MAC motors up to MAC800.  These modules are among the simplest and lowest cost modules in the product range.  The modules contain no intelligence (microprocessor).  The MAC00-B1, MAC00-B2 and MAC00-B4 expansion modules offer an industrial interface that mates with standard MAC motors and offer a number of feature enhancements including:

• DIfferent kinds of connectors for more reliability (compared to the basic motor itself).
• Full RS232 protocol support for use with standard serial cable.
• Full RS485 protocol support for multiport communication up to 100m.
• Sourcing (PNP) outputs for status signals O1 and O2 instead of sinking (NPN).
• Only MAC00-B1:  LEDs to indicate: O1, O2 outputs status.  Zero switch (analogue input) status and Input power status.
• Only MAC00-B2 and B4: Dual supply.  The main supply can be removed bu the control circuitry is kept active and position data and communication are still functional.

Typical applications for the expansion modules are:

• Closed loop systems with an overall controller involved.
• Replacement for pneumatic cyliders using the "Air Cylinder" mode.
• Dispenser systems.
• Simple velocity or torque control via +/-10V input.
• Machin adjustments/setup by sending RS232 or RS485 commands.

The MAC00-B1, MAC00-B2 and MAC00-B4 are equivalent except for the following hardware differences:
