What is BS EN 61800-7-301 – Electrical power drive systems about ?
BS EN 61800-7-301 is a part of the BS EN 61800 series of international standards that discusses the interface and use of profiles for power drive systems. A Power Drive Unit is used to convert electrical or hydraulic power into mechanical motion (often rotary) and drive a mechanical actuation system.
BS EN 61800-7-301 specifies the mapping of the profile type 1 (CiA 402) specified in IEC 61800-7-201 onto different network technologies.
Note: The functions specified in this part of IEC 61800-7 are not intended to ensure functional safety. This requires additional measures according to the relevant standards, agreements and laws.
Who is BS EN 61800-7-301 – Electrical power drive systems for?
BS EN 61800-7-301 on power drive systems is applicable to:
- Manufacturer of frequency drive
- Manufacturer of the control device
- Electrical engineer
- Quality testing personnel
Why should you use BS EN 61800-7-301 – Electrical power drive systems ?
The use of adjustable speed drives on motor-driven systems— “Power Drive Systems” (PDS)— offers significant energy savings potential in commercial and industrial applications. CANopen is a CAN-based communication system. It comprises higher-layer protocols and profile specifications. CANopen has been developed as a standardized embedded network with highly flexible configuration capabilities. It was designed originally for motion-oriented machine control systems, such as handling systems.
BS EN 61800-7-301 specifies the mapping of the CiA 402 drive profile onto the CANopen network. In particular, the process data object (PDO) communication and mapping parameters are defined. Communication objects for real-time data transmission are mapped to process data object messages (PDOs). COBs for configuration data transmission are mapped to service data object message(s) (SDO). COBs for emergency information transmission are mapped to emergency messages (EMCY).
BS EN 61800-7-301 exemplifies the required interfaces and mapping of profiles type-1 to national technologies that help you achieve precision in terms of power drive systems.
What’s changed since the last update ?
BS EN 61800-7-301:2016 supersedes BS EN 61800-7-301:2008, which is withdrawn on 12 October 2018. It includes:
- Additional mappings to communication systems are included (see Clause 6 and Clause 7)
