<s>[INST] 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 [/INST] 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 </s>

<s>[INST] Generic Sercos Card Does anybody have any information on a 1756-M08SEG Card? There doesn't seem to be anything published. my local branch doesn't seem to be any help either. [/INST] The M08SEG is a bit of an engineered product. It has been tested with Indramat drives and others with success but should not be thought of as a canned product that will control anything out there. The major problem is in the different vendors implementation of the SERCOS standard. Here is an excerpt from an FAQ: SERCOS interface is covered by the IEC/EN 61491.standard. The standard defines multiple operating modes and over 500 standard parameters. While all vendors of SERCOS interface products generally follow the IEC/EN 61491 standard there are a number of issues that made multi-vendor interoperability and interchangeability difficult. To address this issue the Pack Profile specification was developed. It defines a specific set of operating modes and parameters defined in the IEC/EN 61491 standard that must be supported. A conformance testing/certification process is also enforced. The Pack Profile specification (V1.2) and a list of compliant drives is available at www.sercos.org. \\n </s>

<s>[INST] PF525 with HTL encoder Hi everbody, I want to share my story about this:PF525 with HTL encoder.We created an easy position control application with gearbox,chain and asynchronous motor with HTL type of encoder. The encoder power supply was 24VDC and the output of the A and B channel also.We wired the encoder output channel to the PF525 encoder card.The power supply comes from the cabinet control power supply.The connection of the encoder is single ended because the type of the encoder is HTL. After we wired the all components in the application,we want to test the equipment.Didnt work properly,after every move we were in bad position,compared to where it should be.We checked everything,mechanical and electrical things.We cretaed trend about Encoder speed(378) and Units Traveled H(388).We checked what happen,why were we in bad position.We have seen on the trend,we dont go with same speed and traveled units with forward and backward,even if we dont set position control,speed feedback,(simple settings)only check what happen.First of all we checked the power supply,that the supply has correctly (24VDC and common also), but it was perfect.After we checked channel A and B with oscilloscope.The signs of the encoder were perfect,without level problem.It wasnt missing signal. Fortunately the encoder can work with 9-30VDC,therefore we wired the encoder power supply to the encoder card power supply and we had set 12VDC.Because of this level also changed to 12VDC.And what a surprise the system works fine. In summary the encoder card count badly the encoder signal with 24VDC encoder power supply.This problem exists only when the drive has controlled.If we didnt control the drive the count was good.But unfortunately is not realizable:) I think the card is very sensitive of the DC level,therefore the card dropped the signal if the level is higher than maybe 26VDC.(The RA wrote this value to the card,and also wrote down,the card can handle HTL encoder) Please check your product limit before sell it!!!

<s>[INST] PowerFlex 700 In Precharge Summary: PF 700 staying in Precharge under certain conditions.Hi all, I have a PF700 (20BD156FDAYNANCO) Frame 6 Series B that works fine most of the time. When the power gets cycled to it, it will stay in pre-charge and any residual DC bus voltage will eventually bleed off. I can't find much on the actually power structure of the drive, but from the documents I have gathered in the knowledge base it would seem that the pre-charge board needs replacing. Whenever the pre-charge board is not working, all of the LEDs are off on the board, but when the drive is functioning normally the green LED stays steady like it should. If we let the drive sit for a period of time (varys, but usually 10+ minutes), it will power up like normal. It is going to take a little time to get a board here. So in the mean time, is there anything else I can check? Thanks, DLR. [/INST] Just for clarification, there is an external power supply for the control voltage so the HIM is displaying the In Precharge. Someone here (the plant) thought it was a good idea for the external power supply so we would know what the drive was doing during the times it would not precharge (although, I have repeatedly asked for a precharge board to at least eliminate that component, even if it did not fix the problem). So, it has had this problem for a while now, but just hasn't received the attention it has needed due to the drive eventually working. Also, whenever I said let it sit, I mean with the power off, then turning the power on to it after a certain amount of time (doesn't matter if the external power supply is on or off during this period).

<s>[INST] Motion analyzer Summary: Why the drive which the software recommended is always the AM module?I think the first slot module sholud be IAM module. [/INST] The IAM power size is dependent on the number of drives and how they interact. If you have multiple drives, it is likely you want some of them to be operating at the same time. The default condition for multiple drives is to NOT have them running at the same time which minimizes the size of the IAM. Thus Motion Analyser first has you define all the axes, and if they work together or independently, and only then sizes / replaces the first AM with an IAM. It's not not intuitive, but it does make some sense. It would help if the sizing process were better described up front. \\n </s>

<s>[INST] 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 [/INST] 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.

<s>[INST] PowerFlex 525 Sinking/Sourcing Inputs Summary: Sinking/Sourcing appears backwards in wiring schematic.In every other Rockwell product, a sinking input switches high when connected to positive voltage, and a sourcing input switches high when connected to ground or common. However, that appears completely backwards according to the schematic below. Is there any reason Rockwell decided to reverse this nomenclature? [/INST] I think the problem lies with Rockwell's incomplete explanation of the schematic. Your definition of sinking / sourcing inputs is correct, and that is what the digital input selector switch does, if you ignore the wiring outside the drive schematic footprint. The confusion, I think, arises with the typical SRC wiring and typical SNK wiring labels for the circuits outside the drive footprint (on the right). If you read those headings as this is source wiring which feeds sinking inputs and this is sinking wiring which feeds sourcing inputs then the schematic makes sense and is consistent with your definition and with all other Rockwell products. It is simply this less than fully defined schematic that causes the problem. \\n </s>

<s>[INST] using a single servo for multiple functions I have a servo that operates a module on a machine and this module is not always used on all products. if the module (but not the servo) was removed when not in use and potentially an alternate module fitted, would it be possible to have 2 sets of parameters for the same servo? Could i load a different set depending on the product that has been selected to run enabling me to use the same servo/drive (assuming it was the correct size)? Would it be possible use two axis tags (one for each module) that would write into the selected axis tag structure upon product selection? Or would I need to make the 2 modules virtual axis that would gear to the physical axis depending upon product selection?

If it's what you would like to do, yes it is possible , you have different options by using GSV/SSV instructions and in some cases MSG for the different parameters that you need to change , like Scaling, Tuning, inertia...etc You must do it axis disable. There is other solutions but they are mostly based on the same principal. You could also Inhibit and Un-inhibit axes... I guess you could find some info on RAKB Using the 2 virtual axis that you gear alternatively to the physical , can be a solution, if the mechanism have the same specificity , so you will not have to retune your axis (unless you have Load observer and Tracking notch to compensate if you are still in the BW of those features).

[/INST] About the fault you got: Checking the box Major Fault on Controller if Connection Fails while in Run Mode in the Sercos module's properties / connection tab, will cause a major fault on the processor of Type 3 Code 16 when any fault on the sercos module occurs. For example, if the sercos ring drops out, then in the processors properties tab / Major Fault tab, you'll see Type 3 Code 16 displayed, as well as the ok led on the processor flashing red. For example it is normal for a communication error at power up because the ring takes time to phase up to phase 4 If you want to avoid this, uncheck the Major Fault check box on the Connections tab, or add a Fault Handler. - fuzzy logic \\n </s>

<s>[INST] Power Flex 700 started running in reverse Hello, I have a 700 Power flex with vector control that was running correctly. Power was dropped to the unit during clean up. When it was brought back online the motor ran in reverse. We checked the settings and it was still in Unipolar in Direction mode. I had to change the Direction mode to Reverse Dis to get the motor running the correct direction. Checking the other parameters from our setup sheet everything was correct. Does anyone have an idea what may have caused this malfunction to happen? Could it be that drive is starting to fail? I haven't checked to see if there is a battery backup for the memory. [/INST] The most likely thing is that somebody pressed the (<- ->) direction change button on the HIM module inadvertently. I've done it. I think you are referring to Parameter 190, the Direction Mode. This has options of Unipolar, Bipolar, and Reverse Disable. The Unipolar selection means that the analog or network reference polarity will not change the direction of the drive, but that the drive logic can. Drive logic includes discrete inputs configured for direction command, or bits in a network command, or the direction button on the HIM module. When I have an application that goes in only one direction like a pump or conveyor, I always select Reverse Disable on the Direction Mode. To just prevent the HIM module from making such a change, you can mask it out with the Direction Mask parameter. At the time of the undesired operation, you might have been able to determine what input was commanding the reverse direction by reading the value of the Direction Owner parameter (parameter 291). I don't think that will show anything useful now that you have disabled reverse. \\n </s>

<s>[INST] Servo Action Status Summary: Trying to issue a MSO or MSF while axis is in motion.I have been getting this error on a few occasions lately and this had not been a problem in the past and there has been no logic change to the servo group. My first question is where does the ServoStatusAction bit reside, I am thinking it is in the drive amp. The motion group is started and runs for whatever and then we get a fault which states what I have put in the topic summary. This is error code 22 and stems from the Motion Control Tag. For some reason the servo action status bit changes state, goes to a 0, while we are running and in a group of 7 servos this is the only one that appears to be doing this. I have changed the amp and it went away for a week or so but now it is doing it again. When this happens there is no physical fault on the drive just a fault on the motion group. Any ideas on what may be happening here would certainly be appreciated. [/INST] Your code is trying to turn the drive on while it is already on and moving. This is not a drive problem. Some part of your logic is trying to re-issue the MSO command after the drive is already on. http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/um/motion-um003_-en-p.pdf Look at the top rung of page 337 in the link above. using my_servo_axis.servoactionstatus in this manner will prevent the error you are getting. \\n </s>

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 unit start and runs for about 30 seconds (runs well btw) and after that shuts down due to low voltage fault. I see in the manual it mentions under File E, Drive Memory Group, item 202: [Voltage Class]Configures the drive current rating and associates it with the selected voltage(for example, 400V or 480V). This parameter is normally used when downloading parameter sets. Would this setting allow the VFD to run on our 380? Is this even possible? Or is the only option a step up transformer? The installation is a plane ride and 6 hours drive away, so visiting the site is not a quick affair. Thanks in advance, Hein [/INST] It would help to know the drive part number. If this drive was purchased in Australia, it was PROBABLY a part number beginning 20ACxx. This means parameter 202 was already set for low voltage (400V). If the part number was 20ADxx then parameter 202 was set to high voltage (480V). low voltage fault - do you mean Fault 4 - undervoltage? Regardless of the parameter 202 setting, the bus voltage will give an undervoltage fault when the DC bus voltage falls below 407V in standard control, 300V in enhanced control. See page 82 of the users manual: https://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/um/20a-um001_-en-p.pdf You can have your end user monitor parameter 226 (see page 55): bus volts at time of last fault.

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. [/INST] 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 .

I tried checking for ADC but cant see in the drive properties where the ADC option is present , i guess for 755 with CIP motion , the ADC configuration is not present . Any suggestions on this [/INST] When using a PF755 in CIP motion, ALL parameters come from the processor. You cannot program the drive directly (such as with CCW or DriveExecutive). Are you saying the PLC is losing the parameters defined in the axis properties page of the ControlLogix triee? You do not need ADC for such an application; in fact it can be a real hassle sometimes. When a Logix processor connects to a PF755 in a CIP motion environment, it downloads ALL parameters necessary. If you are setting parameters in the drive, then starting the processor, all the work you did setting the parameters gets wiped out by the PLC. This is a feature of Logix, not a bug. In this way, all programming happens within the logix environment. Call it one-stop programming. You do not have to set up logix programming, then motion programming in a different environment, then drive parameters in a third environment. \\n </s>

<s>[INST] Using a 842-CM-MIP3BA Encoder to perform a follow Summary: Sample code req to create follow with encoder.Hello All Hopefully somebody out there has already performed this and may have some sample code. I am using a 842E-CM-MIP3BA Encoder to Follow a press. The encoder drives a motor that is installed in an off line m/c(( the motor is controlled from a 2198-H040ERS2 Drive)& the motion is controlled from a 1769-L18ERM-BB1B CONTROLLER)). I have Studio 5000 ver32.(I,m new to this so still learning) All I simply want to do is drive the motor from the encoder and if required change the motor direction and follow ratio. Any help would be appreciated guys. [/INST] Congratulations - you correctly selected a CIP motion Ethernet/IP encoder. It's very easy to NOT get it and you would not be able to take advantage of it in CIP motion. The encoder will be a CIP motion axis and you can issue a few commands to it, such as MAH and MRP. MAH only works if the homing tab of the axis is configured to be immediate. The axis can then be used as a master axis for camming or electronic gearing. In your case, it looks like MAG (motion axis gear) would work well. While it's a somewhat simple application, CIP motion is not all that simple. There's a lot to motion, more than can really be answered in a few forum posts. If you have a good local Rockwell representative or good Rockwell distributor, they should be able to spend an hour to help get you started. \\n </s>

<s>[INST] How to Re-Enable Kinetix 300 after a fault (w/o a laptop)? I am trying to connect basic momentary buttons for operating the Kinetix 300 (to run a MPAR cylinder in indexing mode). Everything works as expected except for 2 things. 1) If you get into a fault mode or use an e-stop, I can push a button to reset that fault and that works fine (using the digital input set to reset faults). But it does not re-enable the drive. I have found NO way to enable the drive again without connecting to the drive with my laptop, and switching the enable switch field from run to inhibit then back to run again. 2) Once I manually enable the drive with the software, how do I get the cylinder rod to go back to zero. Using homing functions just resets the current position the rod is at to 0, it doesn't move the rod back to the 0 position that I have already defined (which I want at the fully retracted position). I want a button I can push and have the drive retract the rod all the way. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

The local HIM is normally installed on the face of the drive and the remote is plugged into the DPI port on the bottom of the 755 main control board. An extension cable to the remote him can be used part#1202-C30. For remote HIMs I would use the 20-HIM-C6S. There is also a wireless options 20-WIM-N1 and 20-WIN-N4S that may offer even more flexibility, but I haven't tried those. I would download the manuals to see what they can offer. This may allow the drive mounted HIM to be remote as well. The 2 HIMs can be set up using masks in Parameters (P324 - P328) to allow / deny certain functions by selecting / deselecting DPI 1 and 2. The speed reference source can selected by putting the HIM into manual mode to control the motor speed. Also check out Manual Preload (P331) for remebering/transferring the speed reference. A digital input on the drive can also be used for switching between speed reference sources when there is more than one but I don't think you need that in this instance.

<s>[INST] PF525 EMC Filter - Internal vs External Is there a performance difference between the EMC Internal Filter vs the EMC External Filter? [/INST] Hi , Best performance is achieved by using a filtered drive and the appropriate external EMC filter. EMC filters reduce the transfer of electromagnetic noise between the drive and mains power supply. PF525 drives are fitted as standard with an internal EMC filter (240V , 480V) and for most industrial applications, this will be sufficient. In the event that a higher level of filtering is desired or required, the external EMC filter can be added to either a drive which already has the internal EMC filter, or a drive without EMC filter. Most electronic equipment will generate electrical noise, small unwanted disturbances which may be conducted back onto the mains power supply. Drives basically designed to minimise this noise transfer, and offer high levels of Electro Magnetic Compatibility. Where required, additional (External) EMC Filters may be added to further reduce the level of noise transferred back to the mains power supply, reducing the risk of other equipment being affected. however where highly sensitive equipment is used, or a reduction in the electrical noise is required, these External EMC filters can be fitted in line with the drive to reduce the conducted noise emission. *****Welcome your suggestions***** \\n </s>

<s>[INST] Kinetix 5700 single turn encoder Summary: how to retain single turn encoder value after power cycleHow to retain Encoder value of single turn encoders to simulate as Absolute Position Encoder at power cycle event in Kinetix5700 drives? What is the tag for single turn encoder value feedback on kinetix5700 drive? [/INST] There is axis.ActualPosition; this element is going to be in user units defined by your scaling in the axis properties page and will be type REAL. In the axis properties page, Drive Parameters branch, Parameters to be read each cycle, there is a PositionFeedback1 entry. If you check that box, it gets added to the axis tag elements. This element is type DINT. This is not what you need though. You have a servo motor with incremental encoder attached to a K5700 drive. You have to set up scaling in the axis properties page. The Logix processor running this axis is going to work in user units, so axis.ActualPosition is all that you need. In the axis properties page, HOMING branch, set homing mode to active and immediate. Position doesn't matter so leave it at 0; you're going to overwrite the position. Motion will not occur when you issue an MAH with this configuration. use a MOV command to store axis.ActualPosition in tag LASTPOSITION, with logic that allows this MOV only after a startup routine has completed. This instruction should scan every PLC scan. On first scan, clear the bit that says startup routine has completed so that you do not lose LASTPOSITION. Have your startup routine issue an MAH. The axis.axishomedstatus bit gets set. When the MAH.PC bit goes true, issue an MRP with position LASTPOSITION. When the MRP.PC bit goes true, you can now set your startup routine complete bit so that the MOV instruction above begins storing the position again in anticipation of the next power cycle. The axis position is what it was at the final scan before the power cycle. \\n </s>

<s>[INST] PowerFlex40 Regenerative Load Summary: What (if any) is the regenerative load passed to the incoming AC LineMy application is powered using a generator. The end user is concerned that the drive will pass the regenerative load back to the generator causing problems with the generator's voltage regulator. The equipment is Powerflex40 with line reactor and external dynamic brake. (There are three motors which are all set up the same (motors are 1.5 HP (2) and 1.0 HP (1)). What is the regenerative load that could be passed back to the generator and (if present) how can it be limited? [/INST] The front end of the PF40 drive is diode so there is no way to get the regen back onto the line. The bigger problem with running a drive on a generator is the non-linear load.

<s>[INST] E-Stop Control Circuit Integration and CSA Z432 [/INST] Ouenuga, The use of a Safety Relay with the E-Stop button will satisfy the requirement of needing a separate Reset button input to be able to re-engage the motor starter. However a safety relay alone will NOT ensure that motor power is removed in the event of the motor contactor welding. A Safety Relay only removes power from the contactor coil. It is difficult to interpret what they may mean by this, but in some assessed safety requirements, it is necessary to have two contactors in series; one as part of the motor starter that is turning the motor on and off in the course of regular operations, and a second Safety Contactor ahead of it that only opens in response to the Safety Relay, so is thereby less subject to the conditions that might cause it to weld. The Safety Contactor is not a regular motor starter in this case, it is specifically rated as a Safety Contactor, having what are called “force guided contacts” and bearing specific approvals. These type of requirements would be outlined in a Safety Assessment of your machine by a qualified individual. Most of these machine safety requirements come from IEC requirements, Canada has apparently adopted them almost directly, the US is still indirect in that matter. Although none of this is specifically REQUIRED yet by NFPA 79, it is accepted as a compliant solution if implemented. However to be compliant with CSA Z432, the Safety Assessment is I believe prescribed (I'm not Canadian but I have read the document and outlines this in the first part of it). \\n </s>

[/INST] Hans, sorry, I'm having difficulties understanding your problem. It sounds like you have a rotary table driven by a motor. You want the table to index 8 steps in a machine cycle, each step is 45 degrees. The table moves 3 degrees for each motor revolution. Have I stated it correctly? If that is true, you have a 15:1 reduction ratio between the motor and the table, correct? To take full advantage of integrated motion within Logix5000, you should be putting some of those parameters into the axis definition so that your motion commands work in terms of real, useful units. Putting the 15:1 reduction ratio into the axis definition will let you issue motion commands in degrees of rotation of the table. Can you tell us what error you are getting? Just telling us that you're getting an error isn't enough; there are a lot of possible motion errors. Can you upload your logix 5000 ACD file for us to look at? \\n </s>

<s>[INST] SERIES A Drive Cat No. 22A-DP0N104 Summary: Under VoltageHi, I have a client who currently used this kind of Drive: Cat No. 22A-DP0N104 SERIES A Motor Rating: 1.5Kw/2.0HP Input: 3 Phase, 380-480V, 46-63Hz AC Voltage Range: 342-528V Amps: 5.7A Output: 3phase, 0-240Hz Ac Voltage Range: 0-460 Continuous Amps: 4.0 60 Sec Ovld Amps: 6.0 My question is: 1) If the incoming voltage is 380V, can this type of inverter run in healthy condition? 2) What will be happening if the voltage reaches below 380V? 3) What is the minimum voltages for this inverter? 4) Will the amps (input/output) increase if the voltage decrease(below 400V)? 5) What does it mean by 'AC Voltage Range: 342-528V' ? Regards, Aziz [/INST] The specs are fairly straight forward. The inverter will run normally if you are able to maintain the voltage anywhere within 342-528V. The inverter takes that 3-phase input voltage, converts it to DC voltage (approximately 1.4 times the AC voltage). It then chops the DC voltage up to simulate an AC signal out to the motor. To answer your questions: 1) This inverter can easily run on 380V. 2) The data sheet says you will get a bus-undervoltage fault if the DC bus voltage drops to around 390Vdc, equivalent to about 275Vac line input voltage. That's a pretty significant sag if the nominal voltage you expect to give it is 380. I would try to keep the input voltage above the recommended 342Vac, but you do have a good margin. 3) I'd treat 342 as the minimum, but you can go lower without causing a bus-undervoltage fault. 4) You'd likely see a larger current draw, but if you size your overcurrent protective devices according to the specifications given in the datasheet for the drive, you should not see any problems. 5) We've covered the lower end of the voltage range. If you supply this drive with any voltage that is between these two limits, the drive will operate as expected. 480Vac is a common voltage. This AC input will give a DC bus voltage of 672V. This is well within the operating range. The drive will report a bus overvoltage if it reaches 810V (about 575 Vac input). NOTE: The drive uses the DC bus for regeneration when slowing the motor and load down. If a drive is running at the higher end of the ac input range, and slowig a heavy load down, the energy put back into the DC bus could cause it to fault with a bus over-voltage. From the theme of you questions though, I don't think you'll be working at the higher range. TJ McDermott \\n </s>
