### Human: PowerFlex 755 not turning motor Summary: PowerFlex 755 will not spin motor, HMI shows RPMs thoughWe have a PowerFlex 755 that is not spinning the motor. The HMI and the analog display on cabinet show RPMs though there is no movement on motor. When checking for voltage there is nothing coming out of the VFD to the motor. We checked all the parameters, fuses, timers, the issue is with VFD. The HMI doesn't show any faults, the STS light blinks green. Any suggestions? ### Assistant: What mode have you set the drive? Are you in V/Hz, Sensorless Vector, Flux Vector / Open Feedback, or Flux Vector Encoder Feedback? If you're in ANYTHING other than V/Hz, did you perform a motor auto-tune? From where is your analog display getting its signal to show RPM? Let's start with these questions and build from there. \n


### Human: CIP Axis with PF755 and MP Series motor that is oscillating Summary: CIP Axis with PF755 and MP Series motor that is oscillating when it stopsHello I have just started a project using PowerFlex755 using CIP motion, the connected motor is a Servo Motor with Absolute Feedback MPL-B680F-M and the processor is a 1756-L73 Revision 24.12. I have setup another axis that is using a PowerFlex755 and an MPL-B4560F-M and I have had no problems with this one. I have set it all up and I am just using the Motion Commands in Studio 5000 to test the motor before I program it. Problem I am having is I will run the motor (MAJ) and then when I do a Motion Axis Stop (MAS) the motor seems to have a hard time stopping, it oscillates violently and then it faults on OvertorqueLimitFault (in the Quick View Window) and on the VFD I get a shear pin alarm. I have also tried a MAM and when it gets to its Position, I get the same problem and fault. I have gone over the parameters and I am not sure what is causing this. I thought it might be because I did not have a Brake Resistor connected so I connected one and it has not made a difference. Maybe I need too manual tune it? Before I do I just wanted some feedback Thanks in advance! ### Assistant: In our experience, all CIP motion 755 applications need a brake resistor. Some basic questions, but sometimes a thing gets missed. Are you sure you configured the axis to use the resistor properly? Did you do an auto-tune on the axis? Our experience is that the Auto-Tune results tend to be rather hot. Try NOT using the rigid setting for load coupling, and no more than medium response. If you're already there, then yes, you may need to manually detune the axis. If the motor starts normally, runs at constant speed normally, then only goes bad when trying to decelerate, it's likely tuned too hot. One experiment to try is to issue the MAJ command, and then issue an MCD to lower the speed slightly, to see if the motor goes unstable. \n


### Human: Power Flex 700 , VFD failure due input short circuit Summary: VFD failure rate is high. What are possible reason. If failure due to DC bus voltage( 745 V), how can I lower DC bus voltage.We are using Power Flex 700 VFD in crane hoisting application. we have enabled torque proving mode. We are facing problem that failure rate of these drive is very high. On average every 9-12 month VFD power input side ( Rectifier) get shorted and fuse blown up. Our observation is while crane tools lowering DC bus voltage is reaching around 745 Volt. I would like to know. 1. Is due to this DC bus voltage , VFD failure rate is high. 2. How can I control DC bus voltage to lower level. Thanks, Shashi ### Assistant: 745V bus voltage is normal for a 480V input. If your input voltage is not 480, then yes, 745 bus voltage might not be correct. It would help if you gave specifics - exact drive model number, motor nameplate data, line voltage, design of system - that is, do you have a dynamic braking resistor, brake chopper module, line reactor, load reactor? Have you put a power monitor on the system? \n


### Human: ?How to control winder and rewinder machine ? Summary: ?How to control winder and rewinder machine ?Dear Experts, I have a project to control tension of fabric on winder machine ? Which motion command I have to use in this project ? Can someone give me an example project like this ? Best Regards, Vorapob Wind_Unwind.jpg× 1 / 1Show captionsShowing image 1 of 1 ### Assistant: Vorapob, your question is too general to answer. There is no one motion control command to run a winder. You haven't told us anything about the hardware you plan to use. Will this be using VFDs? Servo drives? One on each axis, or just on the winder? Speeds? Desired tension? How accurate does the tension have to be? Is there a load cell to monitor tension? Does this have to go in both directions? That's the tip of the iceberg. If you truly need to get such a machine running and are not already familiar with motion control, you're probably going to need to contract with a company that does have such skills. I do not often pitch my company's services but this is a case where I think I should. If you really need assistance, send a private message. I'll send you contact information and a rates sheet. No matter who you choose to assist, in order to have them be cost effective you must first write a sequence of operations for your machine, along with operational parameters (speeds, tensions, supply voltage, safety requirements, etc.). The more you write out first, before you even talk with an expert, the less it will cost you. The more time a contractor has to pull facts from you, the more it will cost. \n

### Human: Is it possible to share JUST a drive file with CCW without making a project file and then an archive file? In CCW, It would be very, very useful to be able to make something like a .DNO file like DriveExectutive does. Currently, one has to create a project, add a drive to the project, be sure to upload from a drive, save the project, then create an archive of it to make a single file that is shareable with other engineers. I'd like very much to be able to save a DNO style file quickly, easily, and reliably. ### Assistant: TJ, I know this is a very real question and a great example of what we could expect from other users. At this point we need to work on getting these types of feature requests into the business unit at the appropriate level. What's your expectation of such questions? \n

### Human: Camming I have a PowerFlex DC Drive that I need a Kinetix 6000 Drive and/or motor to cam off of. PowerFlex DC can't be set up as axis so best approach please. ### Assistant: Your question implies that your DC motor has an encoder. If so, you're in luck but not the way you think. If it's an incremental encoder, I recommend using an encoder splitter (Motrona makes a very nice one). You MIGHT be able to simply parallel the encoder signals without the splitter - it may or may not work. Splitter guarantees it. Split the DC motor's encoder signal, send one to the PF DC drive as normal and bring the other to the aux feedback port on the Kinetix 6000 axis. You can then configure the aux feedback to be a feedback-only axis and let it be the master axis for your camming. You cannnot issue actual motion commands to this master axis, but you can issue passive MAH, MRP commands, and it CAN be the lead axis for camming. You would issue drive commands to the PF DC drive (Run forward, Run reverse, etc). The DC drive is not a motion axis, but the net result means it is the leader. Does this make sense? I can try to explain a different way if needed. But \n

### Human: Changing ACV Motor speed Tach feedback to DCV or 4-20ma HI , We would like to use our existing GE AC tach generator 90vac/1000rpm 180vac/2000rpm on a motor as a feedback to a DC drive. The drive will be similar to this 20hp 20P41AB073RA0NNN . This is for a conv belt, The drive excepts a DCv Tach feedback as well as 4-20 ma , 0-10v but not ACv. What converter is available to convert an AC Tach to DCv ? Or a converter to 4-20ma would also work. Note:The wave form of the AC Tach is not a square wave nor is it a nice sinusoidal shape.Frq is 265hz @400rpm. We have a few drives to upgrade and are comparing cost of an AC drive to a DC drive set up. I think a company called Mighty Modual may have what I need but if someone has been down this path before I would like to here their suggestions. Thank you! ### Assistant: Hi, Charles.

### Human: Incommunicative Kinetix 5500 Drive (New out of box) I am having an issue getting my servo drives up and running. The PLC is an AB Compact Logix 5380 and the firmware has been updated and I can communicate just fine with it. It will not however communicate with my Kinetix 5500 Servo Drive. I have tried module discovery, configuring via model number etc. RSLinx doesn't even see it. It is connected via AB ethernet cable from port A1 on the controller to port 1 on the 5500. IP's are all set. Still the drive is in standby and will not be seen but studio 5000. I keep getting the error code 16 ### Assistant: What is the exact model number of your PLC?

### Human: Powerflex 523 - Using Preset Frequency Set Points Hello, I could use some assistance in setting up a PowerFlex 523 for a blower application with multiple preset speed set points. From a digital input perspective, it needs to have just one 'run' command to start and stop the drive. According to the manual, three other inputs can be setup for preset frequencies. Terminal 1 is jumped to terminal 11 Dig input 2: Would like to use this as an 'run 'input. +24 VDC at this terminal should start the drive. It should then look at the preset frequency bits to determine the speed reference. Removing +24 VDC should make it coast to a stop. Dig input 5: Preset frequency bit 1 Dig input 6: Preset frequency bit 2 Dig input 3: Preset frequency bit 3 Here are some of the current settings: P43 – 0 Hz P44 - 60 Hz P45 – 1 P46 – DigIn TrmBlk P47 – Preset Freq P48 – DigIn TrmBlk P49 – Preset Freq P50 – DigIn TrmBlk P51 – Preset Freq T62 – 2 Wire FWD T63 – Preset Freq T64 – Edge trigger T65 – Preset Freq T66 – Preset Freq A410 – 0 Hz A411 – 5 Hz A412 – 10 Hz A413 – 20 Hz A414 – 30 Hz A415 – 40 Hz A416 – 50 Hz A417 – 60 Hz With these settings, as soon as +24 VDC is applied on digital input 2, the drive starts and ramps up to 60 Hz. It coasts to a stop once the 24VDC is removed. It completely ignores the preset frequency bits. This is probably a configuration error as two different drives are behaving exactly alike. Please let me know what needs to be changed so the drive uses the A410..A417 values for the speed. Thanks ### Assistant: Welcome to ENGAGE, @Sid Gopal ! You should change P049 and P051 to a different Speed Reference source than the one selected for P047 You can for example set P049 to 1 and P051 to 2 No two speed reference can have the same value.

### Human: Powerflex 755 low torque on first run Hi everyone, We have ten 150Hp motors on a lineshaft with one speed master and nine torque slaves. All drives are in FV After power down, the motor torques on the drives are very high and drives fault with over current (I think that's the message) If we accelerate very slowly, we can get the machine up to around 16Hz where something magic happens and the torques drop down to normal Nothing changes on the machine at this point All subsequent runs are fine until power down, then we have the same situation again All drives auto-tuned, but the resulting parameters are incorrect: P621 (slip) 26.5 rpm, but nameplate says 37 rpm P75 (Flux current) 85A, but measured when running OK is 126A Getting the customer to try these parameters to see if the situation improves Anything else we should be looking at? Thanks, Brian ### Assistant: Hi Brian, you may also try to disable the flux regulator (Parameter 103: Flux Reg Enable for PowerFlex755). The correct settings of the flux current and slip speed are very important to produce torque properly. \n

### Human: Powerflex 700S running status bit dropping out while running Hello, We have a Powerflex 700s frame 1 that has been in use for at least 5 years now and has not had the issue that we are seeing now. The past couple days while running, it will randomly loose the running status bit. The program is designed to check that the drive run bit is true and also the running bit is not false. If both those conditions are not met in 1 second, the machine shuts down. After the machine comes to a stop, you are able to start it right back up. It will then run for 2 hours before shutting down, but sometimes back to back. From everything I read, both those bits are produced from the drive and not an external source. Does anyone know if this can easily be resolved or should I look at replacing the drive? Cat ### Assistant: Is the running status bit a discrete output of the drive or are you getting it via network connection? If it's a discrete output, I would concentrate very hard on the physical wiring. Your problem sounds like a loose connection. It might be a failing output relay. \n

### Human: Using motor terminator for cable length more than 189 A Rockwell 1204-TFB2 motor terminator with the serial number: MEAB30Z6 has been bought in order to reduce PWM peak voltages at the motor terminal. The VFD and the motor specifications are as the following: VFD Power: 580 kW Motor Power:580 kW Voltage (rms at VFD output and Motor terminal): 580 V DC Link Voltage: 900 V Cable length: 250 meter Filter: a Series Reactor at VFD Output PWM Peak Voltage at Motor Terminal: 1700 V (Twice the DC Link) PWM Rise Time at Motor Terminal: 0.2 us PWM Rise Time at Motor Terminal: 3-4 us According to the 1204-TFB2 datasheet, the maximum cable length should be less than 182.9 meters. Unfortunately, the length of the cable in our study case is about 250 meters. A series reactor has been installed at the VFD output, which increases PWM rise time and reduces the reflection phenomenon at the motor terminals. In other words, using a series reactor reduces the peak voltage at the motor terminal in comparison to when this reactor has not been installed at the VFD output. However, is it possible to use 1204-TFB2 in this case study (in this case study, cable length is more than 182.9 meter)? In other words, the limitation of the cable length can be increased by using a series reactor at the VFD output? ### Assistant: Hamed, The maximum length of 182.9m (600 ft) is correct as stated on page 94 of https://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/in/drives-in001_-en-p.pdf Which drive are you working with? For our drives we have tables that provide the options for mitigating reflective wave issues. For example our 800 Hp PowerFlex 755 table 56 is on page 139 of the same manual I provided above. For cables over 250m you would need a reactor and a damping resistor and also a motor insulation rating of 1850V or more. You should not use a reactor with a motor terminator because it can cause voltage spikes exceeding the motor insulation ratings. This is documented in our Knowledgebase QA27120: https://rockwellautomation.custhelp.com/app/answers/answer_view/a_id/686116 Unfortunately, you cannot safely use a motor terminator at that cable length. \n

We currently are using 42BT-B2LBSL eyes. ### Assistant: The sensor you've indicated is a background suppression sensor. What's in the background behind the OSB mat? If your OSB is running on a flat belt or mattop conveyor, you're probably not going to any more successful than you already are. If your OSB mat runs on a roller conveyor, make sure there is nothing below the rollers for a significant distance, and make sure the sensor is centered between the gaps of two rollers. Make sure the gap between rollers is significant as well. Ideally, a through-beam or retroreflective sensor is far better in position-sensitive registration applications such as yours. \n


### Human: Powerflex 753 frame 6 20F1 stuck in AB Logo Gents, when the PF powered up for the first time at site, the HIM shows/ initializing and stuck there. it is rev 14 drive.. any input or troubleshooting guide? STS led is blinking red.. when online using controlnet connection, it shows recoverable fault. nothing much could see. ### Assistant: Remove the HIM and reseat it. You do not need to power down to do this. Pop it out and reseat it firmly. Once reseated, press the red 0 button (fault reset). If that doesn't work, try a different HIM. This HIM could be defective. Once the new HIM is installed, press the red 0 button to reset faults again. If that doesn't work, the main control board must be replaced. \n


### Human: Powerflex 525 - Coasting after step logic Hi, I have a PF525 connected to a geared PM motor with an encoder mounted on the shaft. When I issue a step logic step after the profile finishes the drive creeps a bit. Any ideas why? Thanks, Thomas ### Assistant: Have you performed an Auto Tune successfully? If done properly, you may need to manually adjust the values of the following parameters 566 [Pos Reg Gain], 565 [Pos Reg Filter], 538 [Ki Speed Loop], and 539 [Kp Speed Loop]. I also suggest using the wizards on CCW (Connected Component Workbench). Have you utilized one of the StepLogic Setup Wizards? \n

### Human: finger-safe PowerFlex 750 Just curious, if I need to make a PowerFlex 750 finger-safe is it better to use the power terminal guard (20-750-ptg...)or the NEMA 1 kit? I have experience with the NEMA 1 conduit boxes but I want to know if anyone has used the 20-750-ptg1 kits. ### Assistant: Aaron, I had to dig a little bit for this, but I was able to find a drawing within SAP that shows the power terminal guard: Kits are only available for the Frame 6 and 7 drives. Its a clear sheet (possibly lexan), and as you can tell you could still access the terminals from below. The NEMA 1 kit is fully enclosed, so if you're trying to restrict access/make truly finger safe, I think the NEMA1 kit is the better option. Though I do think you could use both if you wanted, I believe the power terminal kit fits within the NEMA1 kit. If you're working on a Frame 1-5, your only option would be the NEMA1 kit. Hope this helps! \n


### Human: Kinetix 5500 and Panelview plus 7 How do I display kinetix 5500 status and or faceplate on a panelview plus 7 standard? I would like to use the panelview to see status of drive rather than having to connect to the plc with a laptop to see the state of the drive . ### Assistant: The PanelView Plus 7 cannot be used to connect directly to devices in this manner and requires a controller. Faceplate sets can be downloaded from the PCDC and consist of the controller AOI and the PVP7 graphic components. \n


### Human: 5700 Motor cable plugs Hello, We recently installed some Kinetic 5700 series, D057 servo's. Installation and commissioning went well but after a few days of running we had a fault which turned out to have been caused by a motor plug coming out of the socket. Apparently this is a known issue and amplifiers which are of the B series rather than A series have used a different socket so that the sides of the plug are now meant to be gripped. But we have used the new connection kit and can't see any physical difference between the old and new motor plugs, you would of expected to see a raised dimple on the side of the plug to allow the new socket to grip the plug better. The old connection kit part number is 2198-KITCON-D057 and the new connection kit part number is -L. I have read the only document I can find regarding the difference between the two connection kits (Rockwell Automation Publication KNX-TD003H-EN-P - October 2021) but it only specifies which connection kit should be used for which series of amplifier (page 41). I am starting to think that the wrong plug has been put in the new connection kit (-L) that we have just received. Can anyone confirm if there is any difference between the plugs or not? Thanks, ### Assistant: Hi Luke did you check the Rockwell knowledge base article QA36257 ? \n


### Human: Kinetix 5100 Configuration Signature Hi All, I am having some issues with the configuration signature on a few Kinetix 5100 drives. If you cycle the power to the control panel all of the Kinetix 5100 drives go into, what looks like, a STO fault. After some investigation it turns out that this is due to differences in the drive configuration signature and the PLC online version, of which you can resolve the differences and everything works fine. If I cycle the power again the same things happens, it is like the drive refreshes the signature each time it powers up and therefore is different to the PLC, and so it faults the drive. Does anyone know a solution to this issue, has experienced the same issue, or can suggest some things to check to see if I can sort this out. Naturally my customer is not happy that they have to go through the same issue each time they switch on the control panel. Kind Regards, Ian ### Assistant: Hi Ian, I asked around and found out that the same issue was experienced with the v2.01.06 of AOP (Add-on Profile) for Kinetix 5100. What's yours? The newest version (v2.01.17) is available. Regards, Kubi \n


### Human: kinetix 5100 registration help Has anyone had any experience with setting up a K5100 for registration using a photo eye. I have done this with the k300 with no problem. There is a migration guide for k300 to k5100 but doesn't really cover this. Any ideas, suggestions, or direction would greatly be appreciated. ### Assistant: Hi Justin. Have you tried the Rockwell knowledge Base ? https://rockwellautomation.custhelp.com/ it all depends on the type of integration, are you going to use the drive with a MicroLogix , a ControlLogix/CompactLogix or standalone? \n

### Human: Help for a Kinetix VPL motor I have a servo motor, VPL-B0631T-PJ12AA, which has a bad encoder. Is the encoder programmed specially for a certain size motor or will any encoder with the exact same sick model number work as a replacement? Thanks! ### Assistant: Hi Wesley Encoder replacement on a VPL motor can only be executed by a Rockwell Automation specialist. You need specific tools to aline the encoder to the motor shaft and Program the Digital DSL encoder. The encoder store multiple data, like motor serial number, offset, reference...etc. It is used for monitoring position, but not only, we also use the encoder to determine the shaft orientation relative to the coils... this is why all those operations require a specialist with specific equipment. So you have 2 options : replace the motor with a new one, or send your motor to the Rockwell Automation repair center. regards Vincent \n


### Human: Motion Axis Properties Catalog Number I'm having trouble finding the Catalog Number for a TLP servo motor in the Axis Properties / Motor Device Specification. Do I need to update a Motion database? Using Logix Designer v33.12 Kinetix 5300 ### Assistant: I struggled with this very recently. It was a pain to overcome. There are several technotes in the knowledgebase to combat this issue. QA60848 did it for me in the end: https://rockwellautomation.custhelp.com/app/answers/answer_view/a_id/1129466/loc/en_US Basically, there was a newer AOP I had to download and install for the Kinetix 5300. (I was using TLP-B series motors.) Hope this helps, if you have not already figured this out on your own. Regards, RM \n

### Human: Servo motor control Whether the servo motor can be directly controlled by 5069-ob8f / 5069-ob8 DC IO module output. If not, what method should be used to control the servo motor? ### Assistant: Hello Gary. We have a Servo Control solution in our Kinetix portfolio that can be controlled directly with I/O interface Look at our Kinetix 5100 . All depend of course on the application requirements, function, Speed, Power, Positionement...etc . But like any sizing for a motion control application, if you have no experience (or limited) I strongly recommend you to contact your local Rockwell Automation representative or distributor to assist you in this process, we have specialists that can help you to do the selection and we can also assist you in the implementation. I hope this help you :) Best regards Vincent \n


### Human: Kinetix and Mitsubishi compatibility Good morning. I am working on a retro fit of an older machine for my employer. The question I have, and can't seem to find the answer to is this: We have a machine that was previously controlled by all mitsubishi products and it was flooded. So the PLC, Servo drive is toast. I want to replace everything with AB, with the exception of the servo motor itself. Can the Kinetixs 2198-H015-ERS control a Mitsubishi HF354BS Servo motor? ### Assistant: Hello Newton , The Kinetix 5500 servo drive supports Hyperface DSL feedback and Hyperface feedback with Converter to DLS. So the question is what sort of encoder do you have on the Mitsubishi motor? This said, Integration of a 3rd party motor is always a challenging task if you never have done it. So I strongly recommend you to also change the Motor and Cables, because they are the part that wears out faster, and the integration and future maintenance will be much easier. Regards \n

### Human: Powerflex 525 Output Voltage Hello, I am looking to use a PowerFlex 525 drive with a 480 VAC 3 phase input, and use it to drive a 220 VAC 3 phase motor. In the manual it says the output voltage is 0 .. rated voltage. Does this mean that I can use the PowerFlex change both the voltage and the frequency? I've never done it before but if I can save on buying a transformer I would like to. ### Assistant: You'll set that up in the motor nameplate data. Remember the output current of the drive will be more on 230V motor than for 480v at the same size. \n


### Human: Run Power Flex 700 with EtherNet/IP Network Communication Hi every body. I want to control speed of PF700 from EtherNet/IP Network Communication and Start/Stop from terminal box. I know parameter 90 is related to selection of reference frequency. but I don't know which parameter is related to selection of Start/Stop command from terminals or EtherNet/IP Network Communication. ### Assistant: Hi Akbar, if you assign the Digital input to the functions you require using parameters 361 to 366 then they should start and stop the drive etc. You will also be able to start and stop using EtherNet or the HIM as all Ports are enabled by default. To alter which ports can control funtions you can use the Mask Parameters from 276-284. where setting to zero disables that function for that port... ...if you set the Start Mask Parameter 277 to xxxxxxxxx0000001 for example, only the Digital Inputs can issue a start command. \n


### Human: MAFR and MASR Does not work I have upgraded an 8 axis motion system to version 32 using 1756-MO2AE analog motion control. The PLC was changed from and L63 to and L82E processor. The accuracy was greatly improved by doing this. I believe a new issue is I can not clear certain motion faults using the MASR and MAFR commands, this did seem to not give me problems before the upgrade. The most recent fault was a position error fault that MAFR and MASR commands would not clear. I also went online and used the clear axis fault that is available in the project tree, this too did not clear the fault. The only way I found to clear this fault was to unplug the Axis card and reseat. Once the card reconnected the fault was cleared. ### Assistant: Hi George, At the risk of sounding like a broken record, you really need to contact our Tech Support with this issue. They can best gather the information they need to walk this through to a resolution. You have not mentioned what the faults are and they will need this. They will likely need your controller project file; possibly the L63 file and the L82E file. They may also need to know if any architecture changes were made. It sounds like this is a running machine, so I would encourage to work with our skilled professionals to get it back to a reliable state. I hope you understand, \n


### Human: How is the TLY-A220T-HJ62AN motor encoder wired?

### Human: Best practices to connect a group of PF 70 to and Ethernet network Greetings everyone! I appreciate your help to know what is the recommended topology to connect drives, specifically PF70 in a Ethernet network? I thought that ether ring or star topology would apply but the customer mentioned that Rockwell recommends star topology for these kind of equipment and that there is a tech note with information but I have not found it yet. thanks a lot for your support. ### Assistant: The 20-COMM-E only has a single ethernet port on it, so it cannot be part of a device level ring (DLR). \n


### Human: Can incorrectly programmed Motor NP Power parameter cause drive/motor failures? We've been having issues with drive/motor failures and I found that the VFDs were programmed as if the units were in HP rather than kW. So instead of being programmed to be 5 HP like the nameplate has, it was set to 5 kW. Could this cause any failures? ### Assistant: Carlos, Simply put - yes, what you have just described can cause motor (not drive) failures. One of the primary functions of a VFD is to protect a motor from overloading. 1 KW is roughly 34% more power than 1 HP. So if that motor is only loaded up to consume 5 HP, then there is no issue. However, if that motor is loaded to consume 6.5 HP continuously, it will burn up the motor over time. Basically the motor cannot dissipate the heat generated quickly enough and eventually overheats and fails. With the motor nameplate entered correctly, the drive would detect this overloaded state and fault. However, the drive should be unaffected by this since it is rated up to the maximum programmable power it can transfer, and when the motor insulation fails it should produce some output short fault. Now if you repeatedly restart the drive into a shorted condition, the drive can fail. It would be like dropping the clutch on a transmission after revving the engine to 8000 rpm (on a tradition sedan). The transmission can absorb this punishment a few times, but eventually if you kept doing this, it would fail. Hopefully this helps you troubleshoot the issue. I would strongly advise you reach out to our technical support team if you need further consultation. \n

### Human: kinetix300 alarm E19 EDIT: Linkified the Sample Code Item for convenience and removed the unlinked URL -FL Hello everyone, I would like to ask you I have a set of Kinetix300 servo, the drive is 2097-V33PR1, the motor is TLY-A220T-HJ62AN, I according to the ID number 96735, Alarm E19 when the servo drive returns to zero, how to solve?And also,How to control motor forward and reverse through OnBoard software software? What are the steps?Thank you guys for answering. ### Assistant: The technote I found suggests first verifying correctness of, and checking for loose wires, in the motor wiring. Second, check for mechanical binding in the movement. If your zero position is against a hard stop that could be a factor. Third, if your application allows, increasing position error and/or position error time in the servo parameters. If the error only occurs when moving to zero position and all other positions are otherwise okay, then the mechanical binding sounds like a fair guess, but I don't know enough about your system to really be sure. As far as the OnBoard MotionView software is concerned, my understanding is that you type the IP address of the drive into a bowser window and it will automatically prompt you to download or run a java applet which is the interface to the drive. Somewhere in that applet, if my understanding is correct from quickly browsing the quick start guide, is a screen to jog the servo. I am only going based on the quick-start guide and not personal experience. Regards, RM \n

### Human: kinetix 6000 steps to perform commutation Hi, I am new to Kinetix 6000 drive system. I am trying to replace a faulty SICK SRS50 single-turn motor feedback encoder. Tried it and had an E03 error on the drive display. I require help on how to perform commutation. The software required to communicate with the encoder and what steps to follow to execute this task? Our factory has a Kinetix MP series low inertia servo motor MPL-B330P-SJ72AA and a drive system is the 2094-BC02-M02-S Kinetix 6000 Multi-Axis Servo Drive. ### Assistant: Hi David So you have MPL-B330P-SJ72AA motor that was faulty, and you replaced the Encoder Feedback. correct? SICK SRS50 encoders have an Hiperface interface and communicate with the drive that is connected to it. So the Encoder is programmed to communicate with a specific Drive manufacturer ( the encoder stores Motor reference, Motor specification, serial number...etc, of the motor that is attached to it), therefore the needs a special Programmation. Just replacing the encoder will not be sufficient, a specific file download is required. This is an operation that requires a dedicated HW/SW and the skill to perform it. I recommend you, to send the motor to Rockwell Automation repair center (or equivalent) or buy a new motor. With the New Kinetix drive 5700, we could have proposed to you different solutions, that are not supported on Kinetix 6000 (too old). I hope that helps Best regards \n

### Human: K5700 with MPM PLe Safe Speed Application Hi , I'm wondering if somebody has experience or can validate this Safety application : My customer would like to use a MPM motor ( Sin/Cos Hyperface feedback ) with an Kinetix5700-ERS4 drive .The Safety requirements is PLe . Is this possible to wire the Sin/Cos Motor feedback on the MF ( DSL ) port via 2198-H2DCK , and the 842-HR ( Sin/Cos Second channel ) on the UFB port of the K5700 ? Is it categorized safe ? the 2198-RM001 is only mentionning VP motors in PLe ... but MP Motor can achieve PLd using H2DCK converter ... Anybody can help ;-) ### Assistant: Hello Stephane The MPM does not support a safety encoder. what you are trying to do will require a lot of effort for an uncertain result, because you will have to validate this architecture via SISTEMA software. So to simplify the integration I strongly encourage you to consider the VP series motors solution that supports Safety Encoder, in association with a second encoder you will achieve Ple without much effort for you or your customer.

### Human: PowerFlex 40 (or 523) Keypad Control with Start at Powerup Hi All, I have a contractor who's customer builds machines that used TB Woods drives. We are converting them over to PowerFlex, but one feature that they used in the TB Woods was a setting that allowed them to have both keypad control with the ability to start at powerup. I've looked through all the parameters in both the 40 and 523 and cannot find anyway of doing this in the PowerFlex drive. Anyone with any suggestions?

I did find this in technote QA61747 (TechConnect Required): If replacing a drive, make sure that the Firmware and Horsepower rating of the replacement drive is the same as the drive being replaced or update that information in the off-line RSLogix / Studio 5000 project before downloading the configuration to that drive. A technote showing parameters to be set in the drives themselves: QA23228 I believe the parameters must be modified on the Master, and power cycled, prior to being connected to the slave devices.

Does anyone know what causes the problem and should I return it? ### Assistant: Although it is hard to diagnose an issue through a picture, what this appears to be is conformal coating splatter on the capacitor. Normally when a capacitor is compromised or goes bad, either through high current or heat, it will tend to bulge, which this capacitor does not show signs of. Ken \n


### Human: Command vs. actual position glitch on virtual axis I was wondering if anyone else had run into an issue where .CommandPosition doesn't equal .ActualPosition on a virtual axis. The Rockwell documentation states that a virtual axis doesn't have an actual position, so .ActualPosition returns the same value as .CommandPosition. In my case, I use the command position in an MAOC, and I found a case where I was getting a double trigger of one of the output bits. A trend showed that .ActualPosition was exactly zero, but .CommandPosition was an extremely small number, 2.479553e-8. I'm on version 33.01.00, running on a 5069-L320ERMS2 ### Assistant: Run the MAOC Position Reference on Actual Position. When e gearing or camming to a Virtual Axis, I always use Actual. \n


### Human: Current delivering ability of pin Hi, We are using Allen Bradley Power Flex 40 VFD for in our application. Now we are planning to give terminal 16 (Analog output) to ADC pin of our PCB and terminal 14 (Analog Common) to GND of our PCB for measuring voltage. We need your help in determining the current sourcing ability of pin 16 (Analog Output) with respect to pin 14 (Analog Common). I need this info as output voltage of this pin is 0-10V which we want to bring to level of 0-3.3V so that it can be measured by micro-controller. If you have any questions let me know. Regards, Bitesh Attachment(s) VFD Manual 22b-um001_-en-e.pdf 4.88 MB 1 version ### Assistant: Terminal 16 (Analog output) on the PowerFlex 40 when configured for a 0-10V signal would be able to deliver up to 10 mA for a load of 1 kilo Ohm \n


### Human: Isolation between Analog common and Digital common Hi, I'm using PowerFlex 40 VFD to drive 1HP motor in delta connection. We are designing a PCB board with microcontroller ADC to measure the voltage between Pin 16 (Analog Output) with respect to pin 14 (Analog common). Also we are planning to power the board from pin 11 (+24V DC) and pin 4(Digital common). So we are using Isolated DC-DC converter so that we do not end up shorting pin 4(Digital common) and pin 14 (Analog common). Knowing the isolation level between pin 4(Digital common) and pin 14 (Analog common) will help us to choose the DC-DC converter. Please let us know what is the isolation level in kV between pin 4(Digital common) and pin 14 (Analog common). be1fb972-d664-452a-9369-a8eab6f6a753_file× 1 / 1Show captionsShowing image 1 of 1 Attachment(s) VFD Manual 22b-um001_-en-e.pdf 4.88 MB 1 version ### Assistant: Hello, I am trying to find out if there is any data published on isolation levels in KV between drive terminals. In the meantime, are there any references that could be shared on the potential suitable DC-DC converters circuits that are likely to be used on this challenging application? \n


### Human: PowerFlex 4M/4/40 Series Future Last year at Automation Fair I was told the PowerFlex 4M/4/40 series drives will continue to be active for a while and there are no plans to replace them. I now heard from one of our vendors that they will be going end of life in about a year but the Rockwell site still lists the lifecycle status as active. What is the official future for the 4M/4/40 drives? ### Assistant: Hi Kyle, Thank you for the interest on PowerFlex drives, there are 2 parts to your question. PF4M remains active product in our portfolio. PF4/40 IP20 drives are active mature while the PF4/40 Plate/Flange/NEMA 4X drives remain active. We are currently reviewing PF4/40 IP20 drives lifecycle status and will advise accordingly at a later date. In the meantime, we strongly encourage customers to modernize PF4/40 IP20 drives to PF520-Series to enjoy its rich features and premier integration to Logix environment. Best Rgds Andrew Tan \n

### Human: Adjust IP in 22-comm-e with power flex 400P Hi We have power flex 400p , I have installed 22-comm-e Adapter.also we have keypad that only support china language. we I connect my laptop to 22-comm-e with Ethernet cable and start DHPC/BOOT software , this software don't recognize 22-comm-e. I have set IP of my laptop to IP: 192.168.1.20 AND 255.255.255.0 Do I need to adjust parameter in drive to enable 22-comm-e ? what should I do? also I have downloaded manual of 22-comm-e. ### Assistant: Hello, Parameter number 2[BOOTP] of the 22-COMM-E Ethernet adapter should be set to 1 = Enabled to allow DHPC/BOOT software to detect the hardware, whose IP address needs to be configured. To access parameters in the 22-COMM-E adapter, an external HIM, or CCW software + 1203-USB serial communications lead will be required. (Is not possible to access parameters from the 22-COMM-E adapter via the basic onboard keypad of the PowerFlex 400P drive). If there is no remote keypad available, nor CCW software + 1203-USB comms lead, and the firmware of the 22-COMM-E is 1.009 or higher, then it should be possible to reset the 22-COMM-E to its default parameters by cycling dip switch 1 four times within 2 seconds (up-down-up-down) while the drive is powered and then the 22-COMM-E module will be reset to defaults. That way, P2{BOOTP] will be set to 1=Enabled and should allow BOOTP software to detect the MAC address of the 22-COMM-E and change the IP address. \n


### Human: Kinetix 6500 display error SAFE FLT 17 SMS SPEED Hello everyone, currently, i have big problem with Kinetix 6500, my device control 1 axis. The issue display on small LED is SMS 17. The description for this error is actual speed exceed setpoint speed. However when I access to Properties inside this Axis, i can not find any limit or condition on speed. Please help me to find location for limit of speed inside axis program. thanks ### Assistant: Hello nguyen Could you provide some more details . I mean what is the Kinetix reference that you are using and motor connected to it. it is clear that you are facing a Safe Maximum Speed motion fault. So in your application code you are asking the axis to run faster than the safe speed limit configured. So you will have 2 options : 1) understand what is that limit and run slower or 2) change the safe limite speed (dut that will impact the Machine Safety validation... so i would not recommend this 2nd point without more investigation and safety assessment plan ) So to check the value of the safe limited speed that have been set you have to connect to the drive webpage look at this manual : 2094-RM001C-EN-P Kinetix 6200 and Kinetix 6500 Safe Speed Monitoring Safety Reference Manual (rockwellautomation.com) once you found the limit you can trend your axis speed in logix and understand what is the issue . Best regards \n

### Human: Meaning of Displayed current value on VFD Hi, I'm using PowerFlex40 VFD to drive a 3 phase induction motor. I have a basic doubt. In VFD display parameter d003 output current is shown. Now My question is which is this current. I can connect motor in STAR or DELTA configuration and current will be different in both the cases (I mean Phase and Line current values). Also there are three windings U,V and W in motor. So is it the case that VFD is delivering same current to all 3 Motor windings (just 120 degree apart ) and it is that current ? Also is this the RMS or PEAK or AVERAGE current ? ### Assistant: Hello, d003[Output Current] is the total output current present at terminals T1, T2 and T3 of the drive, as measured and calculated by the internal drive circuitry. The total output current can be defined as: where Torque Current is the amount of current in phase with the fundamental voltage component and Flux Current is the amount of current that is out of phase with the fundamental voltage component. Torque Current and Flux current are not available from the PowerFlex 40 drive (there are other drives from the Rockwell portfolio that provide feedback on Torque Current and Flux Current via read only parameters). It is expected the value of parameter d003 [Output Current] to be different depending on the internal arrangement of the motor windings (STAR or DELTA). Those values should be in accordance with the relevant formulae for voltage and current in typical Start and Delta motor connections. Please note that the drive will not be aware of how the motor windings are internally connected. The drive will be able to provide an output voltage up to the same level as the supply voltage (the drive will not be able to provide more voltage out than the voltage coming in). It is important to check the specifications of the motor to make sure that the motor windings in the desired connection (STAR or DELTA) are rated and capable of withstanding the output voltage provided by the drive. The inverter section of a variable speed drive does not produce sinusoidal voltage waveform, but rather a series of voltage pulses created from the DC bus, also known as PWM (Pulse Width Modulation). More information on this can be checked via this document Induction Motor Winding Voltage and Inverter Drive Output Voltage Relationship Those voltage pulses will be applied to the motor windings and there will be a flow of current from the drive output terminals T1, T2 and T3 through the inductance of the motor windings. The value of parameter d003 [Output Current] is provided in Amps with two decimal places. This value is filtered by the internal electronics of the drive and is an averaged value of the real time PWM current waveform. \n

The 2094-BCxx-Mxx-M and 2094-BMxx-M (Kinetix 6200) power modules contain the same power structure as the 2094-BCxx-Mxx-S and 2094-BMxx-S (Kinetix 6000) drive modules. 2094-BMxx-M AM power modules with SERCOS interface are supported on power rails with a 2094-BCxx-Mxx-S IAM drive module. Conversely, 2094-BMxx-S AM drive modules are supported on power rails with a 2094-BCxx-Mxx-M IAM power module with SERCOS interface. The 2094-BSP2 shunt module, 2094-PRF slot-filler module, and 2094-PRSx power rails are supported by both drive families. Hope this helps. \n

### Human: Connecting a PowerFlex 525 Drive to a PanelView Plus Terminal via Embedded Ethernet/IP Quick Start Hi If you look at knowledgebase article QA52360 it discusses being able to connect and control a Powerflex 525 from a Panelview Plus without using a PLC It gives an example Factory Talk Studio .apa backup program with a screen I would like to use and have downloaded . But the article doesn't really cover the setup of the Drive or the Panelview to make this work . I am currently setting up a MicroLogix 1400 to control some PowerFlex 525 drives via Ethernet. However if I could get this Panelview to Powerflex direct connection working it would make things a lot easier since I plan to use EthernetIP only to gather drive status info and adjust command speed and I wouldn't have to rely on MSG commands from the Micrologic 1400 to get this info.. Has anyone done this before? The knowledgebase article QA52360 describes using N41 and N42 elements built into the Powerflex Embedded Ethernet card. If you look in the Powerflex 525 Embedded EtherNet/IP Adapter manual (Publication 520COM-UM001 ) In the C appendix if shows these N words but has no instructions how to access them from a Panelview Plus.. The example Factorytalk Studio backup they give you shows these N41 memory areas being accessed from object on their example screen, But it does not show how you would setup the Panelview communications setup to directly access a drive without a plc... This is what I need to find out .. I've tried setting up the communications to point to the test drive IP I have but it says that cannot be used so what am I missing ? Any help would be appreciated. ### Assistant: Never done this or heard of doing this but I would try going to communications setup and add a powerflex 525, give it that IP. \n

### Human: PF755 Net Idle Fault (13035) Hello everyone, I'm working with a system that has several PowerFlex 755 on ethernet, FW14.004. Everything works how it's supposed to work, except that from times to times (and yes, it's completely random, it could be days, or even a week), a lot of them trigger the fault code 13035 (Net Idle Fault). That brings the drivers to stop, but apparently the communication returns to normal right after, because it's possible to reset the fault remotely, through the PLC network. Checking the Faults Queue on CCW for one of the driver, I can see that fault on the Port 0, but also, on the Port 13 (Ethernet/IP port), there are 3 events that happen at the exact same time as the Fault occurs. They are, in this order: Net IO Close (code 34), Net IO Idle (code 35) and Net IO Open (code 36). These 3 events happen within 3 seconds (which I assume that's the reason the drivers loses communication and reestablishes it right after). My question is: what could be causing these events/fault? Since it's very random and happens with several (but not necessarily all of them) drivers at the same time, I can only think of something wrong with the hardware or some sort of external interference. I'm attaching some screenshots for reference. Thank you ### Assistant: Ever have a cellphone conversation where it cuts in/out so you hang up and make a new connection? I'm guessing that what's happening here. The subnet could be flooded from broadcast... could be ARP, spanning-tree, or other loop prevention protocols. Make sure you don't have a loop. I'd tap the network and monitor it with Wireshark. Also, look for duplex mismatch. If you have an unmanaged switch, then all connected devices must be auto-duplex... Do not force 100MB FD on a device connected to an unmanaged switch. Both ends of each patch cord must match (baud rate and duplex). Since the unmanaged switch is auto-baud and auto-duplex, all the attached device must match this. If you have a managed switch, you can choose auto or force the duplex on the switch port, but the other end of the patch cable must match the switch port.. Just be consistent on both ends of each patch cable. \n


### Human: Kinetix 5100 Hi All, Does anyone know if it is possible to read the digital input status of a Kinetix 5100 servo drive?

### Human: Does an encoder improve starting torque on a PF 7000 VSD We have a PF7000 driving a 3.3kV conveyor motor. The encoder has failed and we are running fine in sensorless mode at light loads. Will the encoder enhance the starting of heavier loads? We don't care about fine speed control but do need the conveyor to be able to ramp up with heavy loads. This hasn't been tested yet without the encoder but if required I'd get the encoder replaced before stalling under heavy loads. Regards Vince ### Assistant: Hi Vince, Encoder improves the motor performance. Using encoder feedback, motor increases motor torque for greater dynamic performance. Encoder also helps to eliminate the motor stall condition. hope this help. \n


### Human: Nameplate Details to Overspeed a Motor with PF525 Hi All, I'm based in the UK and usually when I set up a Powerflex Drive I enter the Motor Nameplate Details from the motor that match our supply here on site. The motor has multiple details depending on the supply. However, we have a pump we require a little more flow from so it has been suggested to run the pump at 60Hz. I have the pump running at 60Hz but should I be updating the motor nameplate details to match a 60Hz supply as the motor has voltages etc for a 60Hz supply and 50Hz supply. Thanks! Ally ### Assistant: Hi Alistair, It is my understanding that your supply voltage and frequency to the drive never change (400V/50Hz I believe). But, you want to send a speed command of 60Hz to the motor without changing the motor details you initially entered, this is possible. However, please bear in mind that your output torque will be reduced. If this satisfies your application, then there should be no issue. I suggest that you read the following technotes and come back to us, if your application requires a close attention.

### Human: Migrating from Kinetix 300 to 5100 I was told that the 300 was no longer available and that the 5100 was the direct replacement. Is there any programming that would need to be done when I do the swap? I apologize if it's a silly question but I have never upgraded these before and I appreciate any advice/help anyone can give me. ### Assistant: Hello Jeff You have a very valid question ! not silly at all. So you are right the Kinetix 300 have a lifecycle status set to End Of Life. So it's a good idea to consider future replacement. For that Rockwell Automation have prepared a document to facilitate the migration process this is the link to this document : Kinetix 300 to Kinetix 5100 Servo Drive Migration Guide (rockwellautomation.com) So I strongly recommend you to review this document and see if you feel capable of doing this. If not, Rockwell Automation can always assist in those migration process, for that you should engage our local organization or a distributor. Let us know if you need more details Best regards \n


### Human: 755 AC Drive Harmonic spectrum Hi everyone! Does anyone have the harmonic spectrum of the 755 AC Drive Harmonic? ### Assistant: If someone is asking about harmonics, they are probably looking at compliance.

### Human: Synchronize Date and Time on the Kinetix 6500 Web Hello friends and thank you very much for your attention. When I go to see the fault history of a servo drive on the web, the dates and times do not coincide with the real thing, how can I synchronize the date and time? thanks very much ### Assistant: Check the clock on the Logix 5000 controller... Typically your Logix5000 controller is going to be the GM Clock for CIP Motion. The Logix5000 has precision for motion control, however, the clock will drift, so consider some method of keeping it sync'd to a more accurate source. https://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/wp/enet-wp030_-en-e.pdf \n


### Human: POWERFLEX 40 ETHERNET/IP Edit: EF-translated into English. I can not assign an IP with the bootp / DHCP program to my powerflex 40, in the program nor does the MAC of the powerflex appear although it is connected with ethernet, I have the code of its MAC but in the application it does not appear, then I can not assign the IP to write parameters from the PC My suspicion is that it does not recognize the powerflex, should I try an RJ45 to USB adapter? ### Assistant: The 22-COMM-E EtherNet/IP adapter must be installed and Parameter 02 must be set to enable BootP. Once your BootP server pushes the IP Address to the 22-COMM-E, you typically disable BootP (Parameter 2). You can manually configure the IP address via Parameters 3-14 https://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/um/22comm-um004_-en-p.pdf \n


### Human: Powerflex Drives Specifications When reading the Specifications for a Powerflex 750 Series Drive it states that in Flux Vector Torque Control Mode the specification is +/- 2% 2500 rads/s bandwidth with an encoder and +/- 5% 600 rads/s bandwidth without an encoder I understand the percent is percent of total base torque. So if using a 60 n-m motor the 2% is 1.2 n-m or 5% is 3.0 n-m. I just don't understand what radians per second bandwidth has to modify the situation. ### Assistant: Hello, think of bandwidth in this context as how quick the internal Torque Loop inside the drive can work. The higher the bandwidth, the faster the torque loop can react to torque variations. The faster the torque loop is, the more accurate the torque regulation will be as well. The speed and torque closed loops inside the drive are implemented via the firmware. Typically the input of the torque loop comes from the output of the speed loop and the regulation of the torque signal occurs much faster than the speed signal. This is normal. Bandwidth can also be measured in Hz. 1 Hz = 6.28 rad/s. Think of the bandwidth in terms of frequency domain rather than time domain. So for example if signal to control (in this case Torque over time) is likely to change very quickly in the time domain, then the higher the bandwidth of the system the better chances the control loop of the system will have to control more accurately the output torque within tighter tolerances.

### Human: (S45 Fault) Feedback DataLoss Factory Limit Over Fault Hello All, I've seen S45 fault for 9 months this year. Our system configuration is VPL (VPL-B0631T-CK12AA) with Kinetix5700. Actually, we are running that axis without S45 fault for 1.3 year. But we saw higher frequency occuring trend after 1st fault. (2nd fault 60days, 3rd fault 30days, 4th fault 10 days...) We did actions to solve S45 fault. Cheked grounding, cable/connector status, torque and so on. But there's no specific clue. In the end, we've not seen S45 fault after motor/cable replacement. But I don't know hardware was a root cause of this fault. Because we didn't see any fault during 24/7 offline test using disassembled drive/motor and cable. Do you guys have similar experience? And do you knot the correct meaning and definition of feedback data loss factory limit over? Also, how is the relation ship between factoru limit and user limit? We've trouble situation because S45 fault can't be setup as status-only or alarm. It always connect to line stop whe the fault is occured. Plese help me solve this problem. ### Assistant: Hello Hans I understand your concerns and I will give you some information and direction for your investigation. The Servo fault S45 Motor Feedback Data Loss occurs because the number of consecutive missed or corrupted serial data packets from the feedback device has exceeded a factory set limit. Basically, communication was not established with an intelligent encoder, either due to misconfiguration, or some sort of hardware problem. the S45 fault can have multiple causes. the fact that you are not able to reproduce the error in offline test can be explained. Because the test is not executer in the same machine environment, with same cable length, with same FW, with same noise environment, cable damaged, banding radius, EMC skin effect ...Etc The RSSI : on the inverter display you can access to different menu. In Diagnostic and them encoder Diagnostic you will found multiple information (they can vary depending of the FW... with new FW you have more information's) . to read the diagnostics your drive and motor must be part of an application. The RSSI indicate the quality of the signal (look at the manual Multi-Axis Control Servo Drives Technical Documentation | Rockwell Automation).This RSSI is a very good indicator of the signal quality. You can also access the diagnostics via the drive web interface with an ethernet browser (make sure that the WEB is enable in the drive display interface)... this more convenient and you can take screenshot. with the webpage you can also access to the extended fault (FaultSubCode) Rockwell Knowledge base : check the different article related to S45 fault . (some example bellow) https://rockwellautomation.custhelp.com/app/answers/answer_view/a_id/1125944 https://rockwellautomation.custhelp.com/app/answers/answer_view/a_id/585056 you can't modify the limits or Change the status of this error to my knowledge So check the encoder diagnostics with the system in place , and check the different recommendations in the links provided above. regards \n


### Human: Kinetix load balancing I have an application with a dual kinetix 5700 drive and two linear actuators rotating a single lift table. It is about 15 feet tall and weighs a lot but I don't have the actual weight. The actuators both push on lever arms under a pivot point to rotate the table up. I need to ensure the actuators are always in time with each other. I have them setup with a virtual axis that they both follow with a MAG instruction. This should make them very close but I don't have a great feeling that they will never get in a bind and drive against each other. Is there any way to setup a load balancing system where the drive torque is monitored and I can retard the one with the most torque to make them stay in sync? ### Assistant: I don't think you want to mess with drive torque.... I'd stick with position loop. Servos are trying to hit position targets. By using a virtual axis, both servos are getting the same position target as the same time If the system is sized properly for the load, then torque should not be a problem and each servo will hit it's position target. If it a servo doesn't hit it's position target, then you could get a position following error. You decide how much following error you want to allow, but you could use that to error to stop motion. or make a correction. BTW.. if you don't have enough torque to hit the position target, then maybe the mechanism is bad. Often a linear actuator is the input to a 4-bar linkage which produces non-linear motion (based upon linear input speed). Since you have a servo, you can create CAM for the 4-bar linkage input, that will result in smooth, linear movement of the mechanism at the output (load).. \n
