LENZE C520 Controller

c520 controller

The c520 controller enables you to conveniently solve high-quality control

tasks for coordinated movement of multiple axes with high dynamics.

Thus, modern and modular machine controls can be implemented based

on our software modules.

Highlights

• High computing power for demanding motion control in compact machines

• Maintenance-free and more resistant: The battery-free design and the

extended ambient operating temperature to 140 °F (60 °C) are the

guarantors of a use in all areas of industry

• The engineering tools are the same as for all the other Lenze products 

which enables you to continue to use the tools you are familiar with

• Optional fieldbus extension

• Ready for state-of-the-art web-based machine visualizations in combination

with EASY UI Designer and v430/v450 web panel

SD card

An already inserted SD card is included in the scope of supply of the controller.

The combination of control technology software and application data on the SD card ensures

that the data match the prevailing application in the present version. The SD card serves to

easily exchange data in a different device.

The SD card is used as memory for the following application data:

• PLC boot project with parameter description

• Application credit for the FAST application software

• Retain and logbook data

• User data (SD card/userData folder)

• Open source license description

Notes:

• The controller only works with a plugged-in SD card!

• Removal of the SD card while the controller is running will lead to a system failure!

• The SD card is required for the system start since it contains the system files for the

starting process.

• If the SD card has been temporarily removed, the controller must be restarted to access

the SD card again!

• Only use SD cards provided by Lenze. Only these SD cards have the corresponding

licensing.

Application Credit

The controller uses a points system, the so-called “Application Credit”, as a license model for

certain functions. The amount of Application Credit required is calculated based on the

functions required for your application. An SD card with sufficient Application Credit must be

inserted in the controller to execute these functions without restriction. SD cards with

different amounts of Application Credit can be purchased directly with the controller or

separately from Lenze.

Functions that require an Application Credit are for example:

• Motion functions of the FAST Application Software

• OPC UA

• EASY UI clients
