5.1
Scope of delivery
The kit only contains individual components that can be used for building a servo-pneumatic balancer.
Only the assembly and installation of these components is described. Not all components needed for
building a complete servo-pneumatic balancer are included. The manufacturer of the servo-pneumatic
balancer is responsible for implementing and observing all standards, guidelines and regulations.
Supporting application notes on various topics are provided

Function
With this balancer kit, the safety functions "Safely limited speed" (SLS) and "Safe stopping and con-
trol" (SSC) can be implemented with pneumatic actuators in performance level b (PL
b
).
The controller for the balancer kit automatically detects the weight of the load and automatically
adjusts the balancing force. It is capable of detecting weight changes when floating.
Two operating modes can be realised:
–
Load-controlled mode:
The load mass is moved with the control element VAOH or alternatively directly at the workpiece.
An adjustment of the mass does not take place in this operating mode.
Weight changes are not detected in this mode.
–
Position-Halten Mode:
The load mass is only moved via the control element. The load is kept in each position, even if this
changes. Loads can be picked up or set down via the control element.
An exact description of the operating modes can be found in the application notes
