<s>[INST] 1756-M08SE - Sercos Ring State with Kinetix 6000 Servo's Hi There, I am adding a new axis to a customers existing system. I came across a MSG instruction that appears to be reading the Sercos Ring state of the Sercos Card. Personally I've usually used the Axis.SercosRingFault bit for each drive. But this message instruction has me curious. I've downloaded and reviewed all the Sercos and Kinetix 6000 manuals I can find and none of them reference using a MSG instruction. Attached is the Rung with the Message configuration, the Path just points to the Sercos Card on the backplane. Can anyone here point me to the right manual so I can see what this is doing/reading? Regards, Vin [/INST] That message will request the current phase of the SERCOS network. See technote 26687. I'm not sure which manual this information could be found in. \\n </s> |

<s>[INST] PF700S Feed Source Summary: Use DC Bus or 3-phase AC power. Hi, Anyone knows the performance advantage if PF700S drive, feed from DC Bus versus 3-Phase AC power supply? PF700S will be use to control direct motor in torque mode. Thank you, [/INST] I don't really think this performance advantage is worh the required material investment. PF700S on-board DC power suppy is pretty capable and free when a drive is purchased; when properly observing the line/load requirements (isolation transformer or line reactor and the eventual load reactor) you will get pretty much a top tier torque/variable frequency system; an external DC power supply might be required for an extremely precise muti-drive system, however, more often than not, the VFD's DC Power Supply will do. \\n </s> |

<s>[INST] 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 [/INST] 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 .

<s>[INST] 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! [/INST] 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 </s> |

<s>[INST] ultra 3000i E022 fault Summary: drive trips after running awhile.I have an Ultra 3000i indexer drive, will run quite a few cycles then trips E022. this just started on an existing system thats run fine for years. Motor is cold to the touch. no brake in motor. N-3412-2-H00AA. Mechanical gearing seems fine. no drag. Online with ultraware v 1.8 wont let me shut off software protection, as i figure its the default parameters for that motor. any ideas to prove drive,motor or mechanical is the issue??? or how to disable the software protection? [/INST] E022 is Motor Thermal Protection Fault, and it is apparently calculated. It is different than E04, which is motor overtemperature. E04 comes from the motor thermostat on pins R and S of the encoder cable. I do not think you can disable this fault. Are you sure the motion parameters have not changed recently? Did someone change the accel rate without your knowledge, or decrease the time of the move? You do say that it takes quite a few cycles before it trips. After the first fault, does the fault reoccur with increasing frequency? I would check power lead connections from drive to motor for tightness or thermal discoloring. \\n </s> |

If you go to MAM in the help file, then go near the bottom of the entry, there is SEE ALSO and a hyperlink to Motion Error Codes (.ERR). Click that link to see a table of error codes. Error code 5 is telling you that the MAM instruction is being called before the servo drive has been turned on (it needs an MSO instruction to execute first). One way to prevent this error from occurring is to add a condition making sure that the servo has been turned on. For example, if your axis was called LINEAR_X, then you'd have an XIC instruction checking LINEAR_X.ServoActionStatus. If the ServoActionStatus bit is true, then error 5 will not happen. You should also examine the logic leading to the MAM to make sure that the MSO instruction is getting called properly. Let us know if you need more help.

<s>[INST] PowerFlex 700H will not acclerate Summary: This drive will not increase the output frequency with a load attachedHere I am with yet another 700H question. We have a PowerFlex 700H, frame size 10, driving a 250hp centrifugal horizontal pump in a Waste Water facility. After the last power up, when called for, the drive will not increase the frequency output with the load attached. If we attempt to run the pump, the display on the HIM indicates accelerating but no increase in the output frequency and no output current. Occasionally you see a flicker of each but not long enough to register much of a value. But, if we disconnect the motor, send a start, the drive will ramp up the correct output frequency with no output current (because there is no load attached). 1)The motor turns freely, 2)The motor is not shorted to ground, 3)The motor does not have an open winding, 4)This happens with control over Ethernet/IP or control locally at the HIM.

<s>[INST] IAM Kinetix power size Summary: How to determined the IAM size? I have two questions about the IAM power size. The IAM power size depends from the servomotor size that is connected to the IAM? or, The IAM power size depends from the drives size are connected in the same rack? [/INST] The answer to your question is, BOTH! The best possible way to size Rockwell servo drive products is to download and install Motion Analyser. Give it enough information about the process which you are applying the hardware and you'll get very good and reliable results. One tricky spot is deciding if the multiple axes in the rack will be operating at the same time or in a coordinated manner. Rockwell's default selection for this question is NO, which means the IAM will be sized to the smallest possible load and give an artificially small overall power available. Be careful to set this choice properly so the IAM is sized to the rack properly. This goes towards your second question. If the axes are uncoordinated and do not all operate at the same time, then the individual axis size will likely drive the size of the IAM, (your first question). Proper sizing of this module is a balancing act. It is conceivable that you could end up with an IAM that is rather larger than you need for the individual axis attached to the drive because you need the larger overall power for the entire rack. Does that answer your question adequately? I DO strongly recommend using Motion Analyser. It's a free download and is really quite an excellent software tool.

I've problem of deviation of belt conveyor speed that effect to servo speed that run by MAG instruction( belt conveyor is master and servo is slave). After I read Help document on RSLogix5000 in topic that we can put MAM instruction to conpensate the error but in Help document no have any sample code to apply to my system. Could you please recommend me or give me some sample code. Thank you **************************message for Help DocumentMoving While GearingAn incremental MAM instruction may be used for the slave axis (or master axis if the Axis Type is configured as Servo) while the electronic gearing is enabled. This is particularly useful to accomplish phase advance/retard control. The incremental move distance can be used to eliminate any phase error between the master and the slave, or to create an exact non-zero phase relationship. Incremental MAM instruction may also be used in conjunction with electronic gearing to compensate for material slip.Normally a gear ratio of 1 is used with phase adjustment. A 1:1 ratio ensures that the computed phase error does not change before performing the move to correct it. Electronic gearing is not normally used with absolute moves, since the ultimate endpoint is not predictable. To successfully execute a Motion Axis Gear instruction, the targeted axis must be configured as a Servo Axis Type and the axis must be in the Servo On state. If any of these conditions are not met than the instruction errors. [/INST] I believe you are mixing terms. A virtual axis exists only in the control code. It has no real component at all. If you want your film axis slave to follow your belt conveyor, there must be an encoder attached to the belt conveyor. The encoder can be wired into the K6K drive to its aux. encoder input. You would then use this encoder as a servo axis. You cannot issue motion commands, but you can issue home commands to it, and use it as the master axis for MAG. When I create drive trains as you describe, I add a scaling tag to the gear ratio. I would create a tag something like:GEAR_RATIO = MASTER_VALUE/SLAVE_VALUE*SCALING_FACTOR Usually, SCALING_FACTOR is equal to 1.0. A small variation away from 1.0 allows for the physical world (slippage of film, tolerance of drive roller, etc.) without ruining the basic factors. \\n </s> |
<s>[INST] Motion Arm Watch (MAW) I have a piece of equipment that is currently using a MAW instruction to time time a dispensing valve to axis motion. The instruction suggests that the arm is useful for syncing operations to a specified axis position. The position is watched at the servo update rate (very fast) but the the problem is that the logic scan time that is waiting for the WatchEventStatus to be true could be very slow. Is this instruction any better than comparing the .ActualPosition to a certain value. I mean after all, the coarse update rate is the fastest you can expect anything to be read in logic anyways. So why is this instructin even used. The ActualPosition is coming in at the coarse update rate anyways and this is the same time you will see the WatchEventStatus change state as well. I wanted to make sure I understand this instruction and why the original programmer may have used it this way. Thanks in advance for any feedback or advice.

Rather than using a static message, insert a String variable where the String value comes from a String tag in a controller. You can create logic in the controller to scroll your message through the String tag in the controller. The HMI will display the value that it gets from the controller. If the HMI display is updating at once a second, then the scrolling would be rather slow as you would not want the logic to shift the characters faster than the HMI can read them. 2. Rather than using the controller to shift the characters, you could write some VBA to shift the characters in the String variable with the VBA running on the HMI screen. 3.

I had to recycle power of the drive in-order to gain the MANUAL mode control again from the HIM. Also I had check that the HIM Stop button(Which is red in color) can stop the VFD in both MANUAL & AUTO mode. Then in-order to regain the VFD control, we had to recycle the VFD power again. Would anyone can help?? What is the problem and is there any config parameter I had to checked with?? Q2: Analog In ProblemOur DDC contractor use johnson control controller and speed control by 0-10V, during the T&C we found that the VFD cannot received the true signal. Actually when the DDC AO output 10V to VFD, we measured the VFD Analog In 1 had read only 7.4V?? Is that the problem of Impedence? Any thing we can do to solve it?

<s>[INST] OPTIX - Where in the PC is the Project Databases stored. Does anyone know where the DB's are stored in the PC running the runtime ? - I thought it would be project folder related , but it seems thats not the case as i have managed to corrupt a DB once or twice experimenting with SQL queries , and when you open a previously saved / older project, the problem of the DB seems to still exist. Id like to copy it and drop it back into the correct place rather than rebuild from an error. [/INST] Assuming we are talking about an embedded database (DataStore), with the DataStore's In memory configuration value set to false, Optix will create an .sqlite database file with the DataStore's Filename configuration value and place it in the Windows user's AppData directory. If you don't have a Filename configured, Optix will create a file with some guid-looking filename. Example path shown below, C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\Rockwell Automation\FactoryTalk Optix\Emulator\Projects\{project name}\ApplicationFiles\filename.sqlite. I would also recommend doing an internet search for a DB browser for SQLite. Makes it easy to see the contents of this embedded database.

<s>[INST] STEP LOGIC IN DRIVE Summary: HOW TO CONFIGURE DRIVE IN STEP LOGICcan anyone upload a document by which step logic function in Allen Bradley drive can be understood (in easy way)? i have read manuals provided by rockwell but it is very difficult to understand the procedure. thanks. [/INST] Yeah, you are absolutely correct - the step logic as defined in the PF525 manual is as confusing as one can get. I JUST finished programming a 525 for step logic. I suggest, rather than trying to puzzle it out on paper, instead use Connected Components Workbench. Start it up, put a 525 into the project organizer, then go to the wizards tab (or branch of the tree, depending on which version of CCW you're running). In Wizards for this drive, there are two for step logic - one for position and one for velocity. Running the velocity wizard opens a welcome splash screen, with familiar Back/Next buttons at the bottom. Clicking Next takes one to the common settings branch of the wizard. The screen is fairly self-explanatory, you set speed references, accels, and IO configurations necessary for step logic to work. Here, I configured. In my case, I'd configured DigIn TermBlk 05 to be Logic1-In and DigIn TermBlk 06 to be Logic2-In. I set SpeedRef1 for Pot, SpeedRef2 to Step Logic, and SpeedRef3 to Ethernet/IP. Clicking NEXT takes you to Step 0. Step logic always starts with Step 0. Once here, you configure a few things in the ACTION tab (near middle of the window). In my case, Step 0 was a decision branch; I didn't want anything to actually output. I selected NO Output (drive doesn't do anything) Use Accel 1 (meaningless based on the previous setting), and Logic Output state = off. Click over to the Logic tab on Step 0 - this is where the decision branch occurs. There's two decision branches here. You get to go to the next step (step 1) based on what you configure for the first branch. You get to go to some OTHER branch that you can define if different logic is true. In my case, I wanted to go to Step 1 if LOGIC1-IN was true, or go to Step 2 if LOGIC2-IN was true. Step 1, on the Action Tab, I configured direction Rotation Forward, use Accel1, and logic state to be off. I set preset frequency to 5 hz, and also set the time value to 0.1 seconds. Step 1, on the Logic tab, I set Go to Next Step to be NEVER (don't step), and configured the OR choice to be If Time expires and Logic1 is ON, then END-Normal Stop. Step 2, on the action tab, I configured direction Rotation Reverse, Use Accel1, and logic state to be off. I set preset frequency to 5 hz, and also set the time value to 0.1 seconds. Step 2, on the Logic tab, I set Go to Next Step to be NEVER (don't step), and configured the OR choice to be If Time Expires and Logic2 is ON, then END-Normal Stop. That's all that I needed, so Click Finish to close the wizard. If you go to the drive's parameters in CCW, and select the Logic branch in the pull-down, you should see the steps now configured. For whatever reason, the User Manual shows the steps being configured in 4 hexidecimal digits, but CCW displays the step values in binary by default. Dumb choice by Rockwell. Click on the value box for Step 1 and it shows has hex, and you should be able to decode the 4 digits shown by looking at the user manual table for parameters 180-187. CCW makes it far easier to configure step logic than doing it by hand. The logic I outlined above SHOULD make this drive do this: If Input input terminal 5 is activated (by a pushbutton), the drive will run forward at 5 hz for .1 seconds, and then normal stop (not coast). If input terminal 6 is activated (by a pushbutton), the drive will run reverse at 5 hz for .1 seconds, and then normal stop. The drive should index a small distance with each button push. This should allow the operator to bump the drive by the same distance each time without relying on operator dexterity on the buttons. Each bump requires a new button push. The customer's desire is to have crude but accurate positioning capability without the expense of encoder feedback, higher-priced drives, etc. \\n </s> |

Answer The pin-outs are the same function 4 x 3 pin-out is: J1 K1 N1 S1 J2 K2 N2 S2 J3 K3 N3 S3 J1 is CAN Hi J2 is CAN Lo The drives all communicate from IAM to AM and back through CAN for items such as converter DC power, faults and status. J3 is SID_Bit 0 K1 is SID_Bit 1 K2 is SID_Bit 2 K3 is SID_Bit 3 S3 is VCC These pins are system identification inputs along with the Vcc give the IAM the ability to read what axis modules are in what slots to determine if single wide or double wide AM. For SERCOS, the IAM assigns the AM SERCOS node addresses. For CIP, Logix assigns the IP but then the System ID should check. Slot filler and shunt modules are unassigned a node address. The slot filler basically completes the Sys Ok string to indicate nothing in that slot. The shunt module is configured in Logix with the IAM shunt regulator. N1 is Sys Ok In N2 is Sys Ok Out This is a series string from IAM to AM back to ensure all of the slots are filled and communicating. This is one criterion that needs to be filled for the contactor enable to be closed. N3 is GShunt Pos S1 is GShunt Neg These are the +/- signals from the IAM converter, which controls the dc bus, and the global shunt command to turn all transistors in the Kinetix products on and off at the same time. This minimizes any fighting of one transistor not in synchronization with another.
