Description

1. Product Description

The 8851-LC-MT is a high-performance motor control module designed for Allen-Bradley (AB) PowerFlex 755 drives, a leading solution in industrial automation and motion control. Engineered for precision and reliability, the 8851-LC-MT enables seamless integration with AB’s EtherNet/IP network, supporting real-time data exchange and advanced motor management. This module delivers dynamic torque control, energy optimization, and safety features (STO, SS1, SS2) compliant with ISO 13849-1. The 8851-LC-MT is ideal for applications requiring high-speed communication, flexible I/O, and robust protection in harsh industrial environments.

3. Advantages and Features

  • High-Speed Control: Achieves 20 kHz switching frequency for precise motor performance.
  • Energy Efficiency: Reduces energy consumption by 15–20% via regenerative braking and adaptive tuning.
  • Safety Integration: Built-in Safe Torque Off (STO) and dual-channel safety inputs for compliant machine designs.
  • Modular Design: Hot-swappable I/O modules allow field upgrades without system downtime.
  • Reliability: MTBF > 1,000,000 hours (per AB testing), with conformal coating for moisture and dust resistance.

4. Application Areas and Use Cases

Industries:
  • Manufacturing (conveyor systems, robotics)
  • Energy (pumps, fans in power plants)
  • Automotive (assembly line drives)
  • Mining (heavy machinery propulsion)
Case Study:
A European steel mill deployed the 8851-LC-MT in their rolling mill drives. The module’s real-time torque control and EtherNet/IP synchronization improved production line efficiency by 12%, while regenerative braking reduced energy costs by €80,000 annually.

5. Competitive Comparison

Against comparable motor control modules:
  • Faster Communication: 2x higher EtherNet/IP throughput (100 Mbps vs. 50 Mbps in legacy systems).
  • Compact Footprint: 30% smaller than equivalent modules (178 mm x 254 mm vs. 250 mm x 300 mm).
  • Integrated Safety: Pre-certified SIL 3/PL e reduces engineering time by 40% versus add-on safety modules.

6. Selection Recommendations

  • System Compatibility: Ensure alignment with PowerFlex 755/755T drives and existing EtherNet/IP networks.
  • Power Requirements: Match current rating (1,200 A max) to motor load; consider derating for ambient temperatures > 40°C.
  • Safety Needs: Specify models with integrated STO/SS1 for safety-critical applications (e.g., machinery directive 2006/42/EC).
  • Expansion: Reserve I/O slots for future sensors (e.g., temperature monitoring, vibration analysis).

7. Precautions

  • Installation: Follow AB’s EMC guidelines; use shielded cables for EtherNet/IP connections.
  • Cooling: Maintain airflow (2 m/s min) around the module; avoid stacking in enclosed cabinets.
  • Software Updates: Regularly update firmware (via AB Logix Designer) for compatibility with new drive features.
  • Safety Testing: Perform annual safety function tests (STO response time < 20 ms per ISO 13849-1).
