More Information

Overview Manuals Compatibility Connectivity Monitor Diagnostic

Features:

  • IC600BF915 controls one positioning axis with resolver feedback.
  • More than 70 commands support programmed motion sequences.
  • A ±10 V velocity command drives the connected servo amplifier.

IC600BF915 is an intelligent Type 1 axis-positioning module that converts Series Six CPU commands into a real-time position-versus-time profile for one servo axis.


Resolver feedback supplies absolute axis position, while the module compares actual and commanded positions to generate a differential velocity command for the connected drive.


Its stored-program capability supports up to 10 canned cycles containing as many as 492 move commands, together with programmable motion limits, dwells, and status returns.

Series Six motion-system compatibility

  • Controller interface: IC600BF915 resides in a Series Six I/O rack and communicates with the CPU over the standard Series Six I/O bus.
  • Rack power: A high-capacity I/O power supply or a Model 60 CPU is required to supply the module through the backplane.
  • Position feedback: The interface accepts an absolute resolver meeting the documented impedance and transformation-ratio limits.
  • Drive command: A differential D/A output supplies a maximum ±10 VDC velocity reference to the servo drive.

Resolver, drive, and controller connections

  • Resolver cable length: Excitation and feedback cable runs may each extend to 300 ft under the manufacturer specification.
  • Recommended cable: Resolver excitation uses two individually shielded twisted pairs; feedback uses one shielded twisted pair.
  • Discrete interface: Connections include Drive Enable, Loop Contactor, overtravel switches, Home, Drive OK, and synchronized start.
  • Analog interface: The module provides a ±10 V velocity command and a separate 0–10 V general-purpose analog input.

Axis and feedback monitoring

  • CPU status: Axis status and system-error information are returned to the Series Six CPU.
  • BOARD OK: The faceplate indicator confirms that the module has passed its self-diagnostic tests.
  • ENABLED: This indicator shows when the APM is capable of controlling position.
  • FEEDBACK OK: A steady light confirms resolver feedback; flashing identifies missing feedback.

Motion diagnostics and interlocks

  • Self-test timing: Hardware diagnostics run when rack power is applied and whenever an error condition occurs.
  • Resolver fault: Loss of feedback is reported by the FEEDBACK OK indicator and prevents normal position control.
  • Travel limits: Negative and positive overtravel inputs stop motion beyond the permitted range; JP3 controls this function.
  • Drive supervision: The Drive OK input reports drive availability, and JP4 selects whether that interlock is enabled.
Description
The General Electric IC600BF915 Type 1 axis positioning module is an intelligent single-axis controller that links a Series Six PLC with a servo drive and resolver-based position feedback.

During a move, IC600BF915 builds a position-versus-time profile, compares commanded and measured position, and produces a bipolar velocity command for the drive. This keeps the motion calculation inside the dedicated module.

Programming resources in IC600BF915 include more than 70 commands and storage for as many as ten canned cycles containing up to 492 move commands. Ladder logic can call these stored sequences without rebuilding every move.

Absolute and incremental modes, programmable ramps, loop gain, velocity feedforward, dwells, and motion limits let IC600BF915 shape both simple moves and coordinated profiles. Resolver feedback also establishes absolute position at power-up without a home routine.

FAQS

The following is a list of questions commonly asked by our customers. Please contact us if you have a question about our process that is not answered below.
Why can IC600BF915 show BOARD OK off after a rack change?
IC600BF915 turns BOARD OK off for hardware failure or when it is not installed in a high-capacity I/O rack or Model 60 CPU slot.
How does IC600BF915 avoid a homing move after power-up?
IC600BF915 uses absolute resolver feedback to determine axis position at power-up without requiring a home-position routine.
Can IC600BF915 reuse a recurring sequence of moves?
IC600BF915 can store as many as ten canned cycles, and relay ladder logic can call the required stored sequence.
What does a flashing FEEDBACK OK indicator mean on IC600BF915?
IC600BF915 flashes FEEDBACK OK when resolver feedback is absent; a steady ON indication means the feedback signal is present.
How can IC600BF915 coordinate a master and slave axis?
IC600BF915 provides normal, master-clock, slave-clock, master-start, and slave-start jumper selections for coordinated multi-axis arrangements.
What should be checked when IC600BF915 remains disabled?
IC600BF915 should be checked for an active error, a REMOTE STOP command, drive feedback, overtravel conditions, and the ENABLE APM command.
Which motion settings should be archived before replacing IC600BF915?
IC600BF915 records should preserve canned cycles, resolver scaling, position and velocity limits, acceleration ramps, loop gain, feedforward, dwell values, and jumper positions.
