The VIPA 253-1BA00 is a sophisticated FM 253 positioning module designed to control a single-axis stepper motor with precision and efficiency. This module is an integral component for applications requiring exact point-to-point positioning or complex motion profiles where high levels of accuracy, dynamics, and speed are essential.

Engineered for seamless integration with VIPA System 200V components, the module operates independently and is managed through a user application on the CPU. It boasts a microprocessor-controlled environment that ensures reliable and precise control of the stepper motor for both round and linear axes across various operating modes.

The FM 253 is equipped with three digital inputs for connecting end switches, enhancing its functionality by providing immediate stop capabilities when a limit is reached, and only allowing movement in the opposite direction. Additionally, it features two digital outputs that signal 'axis in motion' and 'position reached', with corresponding LED indicators for real-time status monitoring.

With a robust PPE/PA 6.6 housing mounted on a standard 35 mm profile rail, the module is compact with dimensions of 25.4 mm x 76 mm x 78 mm and a weight of 70 g, making it suitable for space-constrained installations. It operates within a temperature range of 0 °C to 60 °C, ensuring reliability even in demanding industrial environments.

The VIPA 253-1BA00 is a testament to advanced engineering, offering a reliable solution for sophisticated motion control applications. Its design ensures that it meets the stringent requirements of modern automation systems, providing a blend of performance and durability for industrial use.

What is the purpose of the FM 253 positioning module?

The FM 253 is designed for precise control of a single-axis stepper motor, commonly used in industrial automation for applications requiring high precision, dynamics, and speed in positioning tasks.

Can the FM 253 module operate different types of axes?

Yes, the FM 253 module is capable of operating both round and linear axes, making it versatile for various motion control applications.

What are the input and output capacities of this module?

The module has 3 digital inputs for connecting end switches and 2 digital outputs for control purposes, with the states of these in-/outputs indicated by LEDs.

How is the FM 253 module powered?

The module receives power through the backplane bus, and it requires an additional DC 24V supply voltage for the integrated digital outputs.

What are the environmental conditions within which the FM 253 can operate?

The FM 253 is designed to operate within a temperature range of 0 °C to 60 °C and should be stored in temperatures ranging from -25 °C to 70 °C.

Does the FM 253 module have any certifications?

Yes, the module has UL certification, ensuring compliance with safety and sustainability standards.

How does the FM 253 module connect to a stepper motor?

The module connects to a stepper motor exclusively via the stepper interface, ensuring a secure and reliable connection for motion control.

What should be considered when installing the FM 253 module?

The module should be installed on a 35mm profile rail and requires careful handling to avoid damage from electrostatic discharges. It's important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for installation to ensure proper operation.

Is there a need for battery backup for the parameterization data in the FM 253?

No, there is no need for a battery backup as the parameterization data is stored in the internal Flash memory of the FM 253 module.

What kind of diagnostic information does the FM 253 provide?

The FM 253 provides status information via a display and a group error display through a red LED, but it does not support diagnostic interrupts or functions.
