What is BS EN 61800-7-304 – Electrical power drive systems about ?
BS EN 61800-7-304 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 61800-7-304 specifies the mapping of the profile type 4 (SERCOS) specified in IEC 61800-7-204 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 61800-7-304 – Electrical power drive systems for ?
BS EN 61800-7-304 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 61800-7-304 – 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. SERCOS is designed to provide hard real-time, high-performance communications between industrial motion controls and digital servo drives.
BS EN 61800-7-304 provides a mapping that defines others the mapping to CP16/1 (SERCOS I), which is been previously specified in IEC 61491:2002 and it is incorporated in BS EN 61800-7-304 communication standard families while specifying the mapping of the SERCOS drive profile to the communication profiles CP16/2 (SERCOS II), CP16/3(SERCOS III) and CP12 (EtherCAT).
BS EN 61800-7-304 provides a way to access functions and data of a drive that is independent of the used drive profile and communication interface. The objective is a common drive model with generic functions and objects suitable to be mapped on different communication interfaces.
BS EN 61800-7-304 exemplifies the required interfaces and profile type 4 specifications that help you achieve precision in terms of power drive systems.
