### Human: Powerflex 525 - Phase loss Hello , I want to ask if this setting “A557 phase loss detection” is parameter that can be used to detect phase loss on 3 phase motor . And if “phase loss treshold” A576 is set good if default is 25% for induction motor . My power supply is 400Volt AC as for Europe , i was wondering if 25% phase loss treshold is good set for this kind of power supply , because american is 460 volt if iam correct. I just need it to do its job and detect the phase loss. I don't currently have a vfd to test it on, that's why I'm asking. Thanks for answers ### Assistant: Hello Fitz, This parameter is used to monitor the output phases only. If an output is removed, there is a motor wiring issue or the voltage falls below the threshold the drive will trip on F021 Output Ph Loss. 25% of 400 is 100Volts so you would need to lose 300Volts on a phase to trip. Hope this helps. Thanks \n


### Human: Communication Error When disconnect off in Armor start 284GS Hi, I installed armor start 284GS with L84ES PLC. I found today some drives shows communication error. checked 16 ### Assistant: If you turn the Local Disconnect switch to OFF position, the main line supply power is removed from the internal VFD, so that the communication fault you're encountering is an expected behavior.

### Human: Position of output signal shifts when scheduling it with Motion Instruction Hi All , I am scheduling 8 Ouputs using MAOC through 5069 Output module and getting 2 reference inputs to compare with DICAM PLS system. The MAOC is running with virtual axis which has 4ms CUP and geared 2:1 with an CIP axis which has 2ms CUP. I defined the latch and unlatch positions without any additional offset or delay compensation in my output cam editor in order to do simple comparison with command/actual axis position. But the output schedule has not been created in correct position and it shifts with time. As it is seen below , the gearing has too minor error which might not cause such a big difference. For ex. the schedule for output ### Assistant: Hello srtc could you please give the type of 5069 module that you are using ? a screenshot of the configuration of the 5068 and the MAOC instruction and output cam would be also very helpfull. regards \n


### Human: Kinetix Runtime Clocks Is there any direct tags/status words that you can use to monitor runtime in the Kinetix CIP drives? Specifically, the Kinetix 5700. Ideally, I am looking for: -Power on time (such as DC Bus charged, but servo not enabled) -Actual runtime (-Servo On/Enabled) I know I can just use the DC Bus and ServoActionStatus tags in Logix to monitor these conditions, but I am wondering if there is any dedicated runtime counters or clocks already built into the Kinetix/CIP tag structure that is already collecting this data. ### Assistant: Hi Sean You can use MSG instruction to access some of those Diagnostic attributes, you can also access them via the drive webpage this is the attribute list: in this document the attributes ID are in decimal and in the MSG they must be converted to Hex Go to the Rockwell Automation Knowledge base article QA63499. to find how to use MSG for this application. If you use dual axis drive, the axis 1 will have Instance 1 and axis 2 will have instance 3 . Be careful in the doc document in the article, there is a little error : they have inverted attribute and instance in ligne d and e. EDIT: now corrected, thanks! Regards \n


### Human: Kinetix 5500 stuck at precharge when servo motor is connected. I have kinetix 5500 with VPL-B1153F-P motor. When I disconnect the servo motor cable and give 24VDC and 480VAC drive stars up and DC bus voltages rises to 700V. Now when I connect the motor cable to the drive and give 24VDC and then 480VAC, the drive gets stuck at precharging state and DC bus voltage stays at 0.2V. I can't understand why it is doing this and why connecting the motor will stop the DC bus from charging. I would appreciate if anyone can help me with this. Thanks ### Assistant: Hello Hem Shah Could you please give me the actual FW revision of this drive,please ? And also tell me if the installation was working or if it's a new installation in startup ? Check also this article on QA20119 on our Knowledge base. regards \n


### Human: PowerFlex 523 - static vs dynamic autotune IR Voltage Drop Hello, We have a few PowerFlex 523 drives, all setup in the same manner and connected to identical motors. Static autotune was done on all of them and as a result the parameter 496 (IR Voltage Drop) was automatically set by the drives to a value in the range 22-24 V, each drive having slightly different value. Then, dynamic autotune was run on two of these drives and the parameter 497 was automatically set on them as expected, but also these drives changed their parameter 496 to a completely different value - 40V. Is this normal for dynamic autotune to override parameter 496? The updated value was not just slightly different. Static autotune sets it to 23.8V, then dynamic autotune overrides it to 40V, the difference is about 16V. Is dynamic autotune able to sense the voltage drop better and hence updates this value or is this erroneous behavior? ### Assistant: Hi Nickolay, The Static Tune Par 70 =2 can be performed in SVC and FV modes (Par 35) no matter if motor has or not a feedback encoder. It usually gets a reasonable value for the most of applications. The Dynamic Tune Par 70 = 3 only returns valid results with FV with feedback, or SVC with uncoupled load. If your application doesn't have a feedback encoder, the best solution is the Static Tune. It is explained in page 61, speaking about the Par 70: PowerFlex 750-Series AC Drives - Programming Manual. Publication 750-PM001. Paragraph: Important: If using rotate tune for a Sensorless Vector (SV) mode, the motor should be uncoupled from the load or results may not be valid. With a Flux Vector (FV) mode, either a coupled or uncoupled load will produce valid results. \n


### Human: Powerflex 753 Modbus Hello, As far as I know, to read and write parameters in the Powerflex 753 VDF using Modbus, the boards 20-COMM-H (Modbus RTU) o 20-COMM-M (Modbus TCP) must be added to the device, is it right? If so, how can I read the following parameters through Modbus (specialley Modbus RTU)? Current speed (in rpm o hz) Input voltage (v) Output voltage (v) and frequency (hz) Intensity (A) I have read the datasheets of both boards but I was not able to determine the right Modbus registers to get that data. Best regards ### Assistant: Diamantino, Take a look at Chapter 7 (Datalinks) in the manual for the 20-COMM-H controller. It looks like this is what you need to set both on the drive and in the communication controller to be able to read any parameter you want. \n


### Human: Leave VFDs unpowered or powered during curtailment? Occasionally we curtail parts of the plant or pieces of equipment. I personally think we should leave them running but stopped. Other people think we should shut everything down to save energy and potentially machine wear. We use 520 series and 720 series drives. Is there an official advice from Rockwell on this? I'm looking at periods from 1-6 months. Thanks ### Assistant: nan \n


### Human: MPAI Heavy-duty Electric Cylinders (MPAI-A4300RM34Y003) Hello, I am researching the product with the code MPAI-A4300RM34Y003 in the MPAI series. I have reviewed the MPAI documents, but there is no information about the Y003 code. Products with code MPAI-A4300RM34B and MPAI-A4300RM34A are available now. According to the product code, the only difference with these products is actuator mounting. But I'm not sure. If there is another difference between the MPAI-A4300RM34Y003 and the MPAI-A4300RM34A/B, I may have problems with the accessories. The MPAI-A4300RM34Y003 has Spherical Rod Eye, but the product code is not available. Not sure if it will be compatible with MPAI-A4300RM34A/B. Another problem is: is a new cable required? If you have any information on the subject, I would be grateful if you share it. Thank you. Best regards, ### Assistant: Hello Gamze indeed I don't find this reference in the manuals . It seams that you have a special version for me but not 100% sure. Did you buy this MPAI or is from a machine provided by an OEM. If it's from OEM , please get in contact with them they may have some more details for you. I the mean time I will do some little investigation. If you need a fast feedback please open a ticket with our tech support service. regards \n


### Human: HIWIN LMS27C LINEER SERVO Hi Can i control the hiwin lms27c lineer servo motor with any AB motion product. There is a machine made with Beckhoff servo drive AX5206 . We want to revision this machine. To change the servo motor the chassis as a whole needs to be reworked for magnetic plates and servo motor. ### Assistant: Hello Sarici Kinetix servo drives can control many different motors type. we need more details about the motor and encoder selected to evaluate the compatibility. due to voltage, design, power, encoder technology...etc , it can be complex. So this type of sizing process are generally not supported on a community like Engage. So, Please contact our local organisation or distributor (on web page at the bottom) for a proper sizing and support during this integration. regards \n


### Human: Kinetic 5700 EDS file Hi, We're having to rebuild a machine built by a different company that uses Kinetix 5700 EIP drives, and our customer wants to reuse as much of the hardware as possible. The original machine builders are reusing the Rockwell PLC, so I need to try use the Kinetix drives with a different make of PLC. Whenever I've tried to find the .eds files for the drives, all I've managed to find is a firmware .dmk file which I can't use directly. It seems this file is used with the ControlFlash Plus software, but the download centre on Rockwell's website doesn't let me download this software. Is there a simple way to get .eds files? Thanks, ### Assistant: Hi Chris, You should be able to find what you need here: https://compatibility.rockwellautomation.com/pages/search.aspx?crumb=117&q=kinetix%205700 Regards, RM \n
