Electrocraft/Reliance/Allen Bradley H series servo motors frequent our repair technicians here at Precision Electric. Over the years we have repaired hundreds of H series servo motors.

The H series servo motors have been around for a long time, and are obsolete. Since the H series servo motors have become obsolete, we highly recommend customers using this equipment to use Preventitive Maintenance plans with Precision Electric. This is to lessen the chance for an H series servo motor to become damaged beyond economical repair.

The H series servo motors are used with Electrocraft 2000 series amplifiers, Allen Bradley Ultra Plus amplifiers, as well as other products manufactured by Allen Bradley, Electrocraft, and Reliance.

The H series servo motor generally needs to be serviced more often than the servo amplifiers that run them. However, Precision Electric also sees H series servo drives/amplifiers in for repair as well. Our service technicians at Precision Electric keep large stock of parts for these products to speed up repair processes, and decrease cost for both Precision Electric and their customers.

Flomotion Systems develops and manufactures unique sealless peristaltic pumps that eliminate loss-of prime failures in chemical feed applications. Typical markets served include water & wastewater treatment, chemical, food & dairy, pharmaceutical, pulp & paper, energy management, power and irrigation.

A long-time user of Lenze – AC Techs MC Series drives; Flomotion has now incorporated the economical, compact and lightweight SMVector drive in the design of their 2001HEC Series pumps.

The Flomotion 2001HEC Series are rugged, reliable and cost effective industrial hose pumps built to succeed in harsh industrial environments. Several features of the SMVector make it a perfect fit for the job, including a removable terminal cover; easy access for control and power wiring and the fact that it can handle a wide range of operating temperatures from -10 to 55C. Last but not least, according to Flomotion, the SMVector offers better protection against electrical shock than any other NEMA 1 controller on the market.

Mounting the SMVector controller directly to the pump allows Flomotion to optimize precious panel space and offer its customers outstanding convenience. The unique EPM or Electronic Programmable Module stores the drives parameter configuration greatly simplifying initial setup.

Centrifugal and pumping applications especially those moving fluids or a mixture of wet and dry ingredients present a challenge because the speed is affected by the load. Fluid moving applications require ‘variable speed’ – a drive and motor that can produce the necessary horsepower to move the load at a constant speed. The motor will draw from the drive the amount.

of current it needs to ‘do the job’. The SMVector drive works well in this type of application because the speed can be controlled tightly in vector mode (more torque/less speed) or loosely in V/Hz mode to determine just the right amount of speed.

SMVector Benefits

Multiple enclosure options available including washdown
Wide temperature range: -10 to 55C
Removable memory (EPM)
Multiple operational modes (V/Hz, Enhanced V/Hz, Open Loop Vector)
Lightweight, compact design
Intuitive programming
Multiple communication options
Economical

About a week ago, I was given the opportunity to work on a startup with a customer who works in the world of automated foaming. As with any other job, the preliminary overview of the project is often where the scope of the project is determined. One of the most critical things a customer can possess is documentation to their machines, it reduced both the time and effort required on the engineering side of the startup.

In this particular case, however, all of the documentation was written in the Swedish language. The drive itself had extensive documentation in the form of manuals that were written in English, but there were no actual machine documents written in English.

The customer had taken the liberty to do a good chunk of translation regarding the essential documents, but as you know, even documentation written in the English language can be hard to understand if you weren’t one of the original engineers.

On projects such as these, I typically like to spend a day or two with my head completely in the program – in this case with the Google Translator at my side. The two most fundamental aspects I was looking for? The homing sequence and the foam gun sequence (as they desired changes to the way the gun operates).

This is the order of operations I took, and it may help some of you out in the future:

1. Gather all of the documentation specific to the job.
2. Gather the requirements of what the customer desires and write them down.
3. Gather all of the tools that will help you break the language barrier (human translators or robot ones)
4. Dig out the I/O list if it is included in the documentation (if it is not, build the list yourself manually)
5. Translate that list to the proper language
6. Cross reference your I/O list to your documentation to seek out a homing sequence in the program
7. Use this as your starting point, as your homing sequence is typically the building block of your program.
8. Next, target the section of the program (referencing the I/O related to it) the customer wants changes too or is having issue with.

This is an excellent starting point for any troubleshooting of PLCs or Motion Controllers outside of your language barrier. After two days of research and properly building my own documentation – I was able to get the machine running (not without headaches of course) in about one 8 hour day.

Even though the documentation was in a completely different language, this job would have taken weeks had there been no documentation at all – this truly is a testament to the importance of having documentations for your systems – even if that documentation is in a completely different language.
