MB2198-591-E

The MB2198-591-E Evaluation and Demonstration Board and Kit has been developed by SICK AG as a versatile and comprehensive system for evaluating and testing the performance of electromechanical components. The primary objective of this board and kit is to provide a low cost, and easy to use way of testing a variety of components for verification of proper wiring, circuitry, and other parameters.

Overview and Overall Description

The MB2198-591-E evaluation and demonstration board and kit makes use of a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) which houses several components such as electronic components, transistor-based shunt regulator, resistors, relays, integrated circuits, and more.The kit also includes a power supply unit which is used to supply power to the PCB. This device also contains several external connectors which can be used to connect other peripherals or external components.

The PCB of the MB2198-591-E evaluation and demonstration board and kit has a built-in relay-based programmable stepper motor driver which can be used to control the board\'s motion. The stepper motor driver consists of two opto switches, four connectors, and a microcontroller which can be programmed using a dedicated software called the SICK AG Easilator. The stepper motor driver is connected to the shunt regulator and the corresponding power supply.

Application Field

The MB2198-591-E evaluation and demonstration board and kit can be used to evaluate and test a variety of electromechanical components such as coils, switches, actuators, motor drivers, sensors, temperature sensors, pressure switches, and more. It can also be used to diagnose and troubleshoot electronic circuits using the stepper motor driver, and to analyze and identify potential problems or inconsistencies with the solder connection or the PCB.

The MB2198-591-E evaluation and demonstration board and kit can also be used to develop and test electronic prototypes in a laboratory setting or for educational purposes. It can be used to build and program control systems and controllers, as well as for testing the operation and performance of other components such as DC motors, solenoids, etc.

Working Principle

In order for the MB2198-591-E evaluation and demonstration board and kit to operate properly, the power supply unit must be connected to the PCB and external peripherals must be connected to the corresponding connectors. The microcontroller on the stepper motor driver must then be programmed using the Easilator software. This program will instruct the stepper motor driver about which components to activate or deactivate.

The microcontroller can also be programmed to measure the electrical current drawn by each component and the corresponding voltage levels. This allows users to verify proper wiring and circuitry, as well as to detect inconsistencies or potential issues. The microcontroller can also be programmed to control the output devices such as relays, transformers, and others.

Conclusion

The MB2198-591-E evaluation and demonstration board and kit is a versatile and comprehensive system for evaluating and testing the performance of electromechanical components. It can be used to verify proper wiring and circuitry, as well as to diagnose and troubleshoot electronic circuits. The microcontroller-based stepper motor driver allows users to develop and test control systems and controllers, as well as to analyze and identify potential problems or inconsistencies with the solder connection or the PCB.
