• Power Consumption
• Mains Fuse
• Output power data for the Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports
• External Antennas
• Network Connections
• Line Voltage
• Technical Product Data

Power Consumption

Power consumption depends on the speed and torque of the tool. High speed and torque increase power consumption.

The power consumption in idle mode has been measured without any controller accessories or tool accessories connected.

Mains Fuse

Recommended mains fuse (power outlet):

If you are running the POWER FOCUS 8 as a stand-alone unit and trigger the tools manually (at random) it is normally possible to connect up to three POWER FOCUS 8 units to one power group. If you are synchronizing the spindles you need one power group for each POWER FOCUS 8 unit. The fuse in the power group must be of the time delay type.

Output power data for the Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports

The maximum output power available at the PoE ports (PoE 1 and PoE 2) is 15.4 W, conform the PoE standard IEEE 802.3af (2003).

Due to power losses in the Ethernet cable, the output power available at the remote end can be as low as 12.95 W, using an Ethernet cable with a maximum length of 100 m.

External Antennas

The POWER FOCUS 8 has adjustable and removable external antennas. In vertical position, the external antennas provide sufficient WLAN and Bluetooth coverage, with a controller in standard overhead position. The coverage area extends up to 35 meters from the front of the controller and fans out over 90 degrees to either side.

Before moving the controller, always push the antennas backwards into horizontal position.

Network Connections

Line Voltage

The POWER FOCUS 8 operates on a single-phase 100-120 / 200-240 VAC line voltage.

The POWER FOCUS 8 has a function for sensing the line voltage automatically. This means that the POWER FOCUS 8 automatically switches to the voltage you connect to it.

Installing the Controller

The controller must be positioned so that the power switch is easily accessible.

For maximum tool performance, make sure that the controller is installed so that free airflow is provided. This improves the cooling of the controller.

1. Attach the mounting plate to a wall or to a steel plate, using three M6 screws. If attaching to a wall, use the correct wall bracket (plug and screw). If attaching to a steel plate, make sure that the steel plate is at least 2 mm thick.

2. Attach the controller to the mounting plate by tilting the controller and guiding the top flange of the mounting plate into the slot on the back of the controller. Lower the controller to engage the locking mechanism.

3. Install the retainer strap between the wall and the cable cover.

4. Open the front access door of the controller.

5. Connect the power cable to the power connector.

6. Place the IAM in its socket on the back of the front access door.

7. Make sure that the RCBO (residual-current device) is switched on.

8. Close the front access door.

9. Connect the tool cable to its socket on the bottom part of the controller.

10. Connect the power cable to a power supply.

11. Turn the power switch on.

An optional, threaded grounding point is available on the lower backside of the controller. The grounding point accepts a M4 threaded screw. The additional grounding does not replace the grounding from the wall socket.

Functional Test of the Residual-Current Circuit Breaker with Overcurrent Protection (RCBO) Device

A certified electrician must perform the functional test of the residual-current circuit breaker with overcurrent protection (RCBO) device, according to the IEC 61557-6 standard.

In high-voltage countries with a mains voltage of 220-240 V, the functional test can be performed by pushing the yellow button on the RCBO device.

In low-voltage countries with a mains voltage of 110-120 V, the functional test must be performed using the phase and neutral in the two test openings above the RCBO device.

Emergency Stop Button

The supply disconnecting device may serve as an emergency stop when it is readily accessible to the operator and it is of the type described in EN 60204-1:2006, 5.3.2 a), b), c) or d). When intended for such use, the supply disconnecting device shall be colored red and have a yellow background. (Ref. EN 60204-1:2006, 10.7.5).

Configuring Remote Start for Single or Multiple Controllers

The switch for remote start is found on the connector board located behind the front access door.

Whenever enabling remote start you must, for safety reasons, implement an emergency stop solution.

When using portable hand-held or portable hand-guided tools (such as tools used with torque reaction devices or dual trigger), remote start must be disabled by setting the switch on the controller to OFF. This is done to make it impossible to override the safety function within the tools.

Cabling

EM Stop button cables

I/O Cables

For connecting multiple controllers with I/O cables distributing the emergency stop signal, use the maximum length according to the following table:

Resetting the Emergency Stop

Resetting an activated emergency stop is done by the software.

Emergency Stop

The POWER FOCUS 8 is equipped with an infrastructure needed to create an emergency stop function with redundant breaking according to EN ISO 13849-1 category 3 PL d. The emergency stop function must be used when using remote start functionality.

The emergency stop function can be used with a supply disconnecting device (such as an EM Stop button). When pressed, it interrupts the supply voltage to the controller drive.

The emergency stop function can be used with either a single controller or up to 10 controllers in a single emergency stop chain. In a multiple controller configuration the emergency stop signal is distributed from the first controller to all interconnected controllers using E-stop in and E-stop out. The last controller in the chain returns a feedback signal to indicate that all controllers have received the emergency stop signal. The Emergency stop status is shown.

For the emergency stop there is a 24V DC output through the emergency stop connector on the connector board.

Operation

• Ergonomic Guidelines

Ergonomic Guidelines

Consider your workstation as you read through this list of general ergonomic guidelines to identify areas for improvement in posture, component placement, or work environment.

• Take frequent breaks and change work positions frequently.

• Adapt the workstation area to your needs and the work task.

  • Adjust for a convenient reach range by determining where parts and tools need to be located to avoid static load.

  • Use workstation equipment such as tables and chairs appropriate for the work task.

• Avoid work positions above shoulder level or with static holding during assembly operations.

  • When working above shoulder level, reduce the load on the static muscles by lowering the weight of the tool, using for example torque arms, hose reels or weight balancers. You can also reduce the load on the static muscles by holding the tool close to the body.

  • Take frequent breaks.

  • Avoid extreme arm or wrist postures, particularly during operations requiring a degree of force.

• Adjust for a convenient field of vision that requires minimal eye and head movements.

• Use appropriate lighting for the work task.

• Select the appropriate tool for the work task.

• In noisy environments, use ear protection equipment.

• Use high-quality inserted tools and consumables to minimize exposure to excessive levels of vibration.

• Minimize exposure to reaction forces.

  • When cutting:

    A cut-off wheel can get stuck if the cut-off wheel is bent or not guided properly. Use the correct flange for the cut-off wheel and avoid bending the cut-off wheel during operation.

  • When drilling:

    The drill might stall when the drill bit breaks through. Use support handles if the stall torque is high. The safety standard ISO11148 part 3 recommends using a device to absorb a reaction torque above 10 Nm for pistol grip tools and 4 Nm for straight tools.

  • When using direct-driven screwdrivers or nutrunners:

    Reaction forces depend on the tool settings and joint characteristics. Strength and posture determine the amount of reaction force that an operator can tolerate. Adapt the torque setting to the operator's strength and posture and use a torque arm or reaction bar if the torque is too high.

• In dusty environments, use a dust extraction system or wear a mouth protection mask.
