<s>[INST] MD60 No life. Lost ground while operating Summary: MD60 signal phase lost groundwhile operatingI have an 6MDAN-4P5101, single phase, 240v 1 HP. It has run regularly in my shop for 5 years. I lost the ground line while it was operating. I heard I small pop and now it doesn't do anything. I have cycled power and checked the conections to breaker box. All these are working. I fixed the broken ground connection. The display does not come on. No life, nada, zip. Is there any part inside that might be easily replaced or should I go shopping for a new one?

<s>[INST] 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.

<s>[INST] Aux encoder with K5500 I need to add a linear encoder to a Kinetix 5500 axis, controlled by a 1769-L33ERM. The 5500 has no auxiliary feedback input so my plan is to use the 1769-HSC to input the encoder signal. I would like some suggestions on how to program the linear scale. One thought I had was to take the difference between the motor encoder and linear encoder positions and add that difference to a MAM instruction's command position. This seems like the least clever solution. Someone had suggested that I create a virtual axis and use the linear encoder as its feedback device, but I do not see a way to do this. If I could do this then this seems like a more elegant solution--I could use a MAG or MDAC to follow the virtual axis in that case. Any other ideas? Thanks! [/INST] I don't think you have many choices. K5500 drives are intended to be low-cost, so do not have all of the features that a K6500 has. One possibility might be to purchase the lowest-cost K350 drive and hook your encoder to that. You don't need a motor; the drive would act simply as a place to bring the linear encoder in as a CIP axis. Then your MAG or MDAC approach would work. Is too late to change to a K6500 drive? What is the data format of the linear encoder? \\n </s>

<s>[INST] SMC-50 Underload Fault Reset Summary: Cannot reset Using PLC tag, but can reset using drive tab or keypadHello. I am having an issue with a SMC-50 Soft start. The drive has been added to the IO tree of an rslogix application and I can communicate to the drive and I can see status information and also set up certain parameters from the PLC. One thing I cannot do however is reset an underload fault using the clearfault output bit (which is automatically created when adding an SMC-50 addon profile) in ladder logic, however I can reset the fault if I either go on to the SMC-50 drive tab in the PLC application and “clear faults” or from the in built key pad on the front of the MCC. I don’t have to set anything up within the SMC-50 using components workbench do i? I was able to set fault enable outputs directly from the PLC, I just cannot clear a fault using the logicCommands_Clearfault tag. What is the difference in the soft starter between using the “logicCommands_Clearfault tag” output tag or selecting “clear faults” on the alarm section of the drive tab in the IO tree of the plc application.

Single DC bus supply ( 2198- P141) which is 480V AC input So, this DC bus supply is connected with the above 4 invertes. And I am using Single turn Drive to motor feedback cable (so i found that the max cable length is up to 90 m). I am using AC input power type WYE grounded. In the 2198-UM002 manual, I have read that, The sum of the inverter motor-power cable length for all invertes on the same DC bus-Sharing group must not exceed, -1200m when used with 2198-DBRxx-F line filters. -400m when used with 2198-DBxx-F line filters. Since i am using 7 motors, it would be 7*90 = 630m. My questions are: 1. So, in my case is it mandatory to use AC line Filter ? 2. If it is not mandatory will each of my 7 motors still support 90m each with out using the AC line filter. 3. what would be the max. combined length of motor power cable if I am not using AC line Filter?

<s>[INST] 1336F-b050 Drive Summary: stop drive after 20 minutesWe would like to stop drive after 20 minutes. But this drive is in a stand alone system connected to the pump itself. It has a HIM display, but no TB3 board. What I was going to do is add a timing relay inside and remove the enable after 20 minutes. So here is my question, can the drive have both an HIM (start command and speed control) and a TB3 board? Use start button on the HIM, it would stop 20 minutes later when I removed the enable. Cat [/INST] I would set up the TB3 as a '3-wire' configuration and hold the STOP input true, then interrupt it when you need to stop. You could do the same with the Enable input too. As long as the TB3 doesn't have any exclusive control features programmed (like 2-wire mode, or Local Control) then you can use it to assert a STOP only. STOP is asserted when it is provided by any interface to the drive and cannot be masked out. The -L6 on the end of the part number indicates that there was (when it was delivered from the factory) a 115V AC version of the TB3 discrete input board installed. \\n </s>

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

<s>[INST] SMC Flex Par 50 Are the thermistor inputs used to calculate the %MTU ? , and if so can Par 50 be adjusted to give a trip point ? [/INST] MTU is motor thermal usage and is a mathematical model that simulates the amount of heat generated in a motor due to current draw over time. It is based on an I^2T algorigthm (where I is current and T is time). Some of the factors used to calculation are what the full load current of the motor is set at, what the actual current draw of the motor is, and the amount of current used to start the motor. PTC value isn't used for that... it gives you an option to have an enhanced control of motor temperature. An alarm (pre-fault) indication level can be programmed to indicate the unit is getting close to faulting. The alarm modification information is displayed through the LCD, HIM, Communication (if applicable) and alarm contact closing. Parameter 50 is used to set an alarm status in the SMC-Flex based on the programmed level in it...If you want to be advised before %MTU reach 100% and the overload occurs, then you've to program a value at which you will have an alarm...default is 50%.

<s>[INST] Load Sharing in DC Powerflex Hello to everyone. I have 3 old DC Drivers running on load sharing (paper machine). These old drivers have Load Sharing function, but these function need to be turned on manualy (relay). The bigger motor are 400 HP for yankee dryer, 300HP for cylinder dryer and 150HP for crescent former. The yankee dryer operates as master to cylinder dryer and load sharing. And cylinder dryer as master to crescent former motor. Cylinder dryer are pressed against yankee dryer and crescent former motor are pressed against the rear roll of cylinder dryer section, and the three motors need to stay ate the same speed (syncronized). Reading the Powerflex DC manual, did not see any mention of Load Sharing function. Searching for any documentation about this funciont, found a Rockwell PDF called Load Sharing Applications for AC Drives. In this paper, they describe three forms of Load Sharing, but one im particular seems to be more similar to what i have here. Called Speed Trim Follower, describe 3 drivers where one are driven from torq referece from master and the other one driven from torque reference from the second one. My doubt is: This principle is applyed to DC Powerflex? Because of no single mention of this function in the manual, i need to ask if someone here have already work with this purpose with DC Powerflex. Best regrards, Rafael Mendonça. [/INST] Hello, one of the most common load sharing techniques is the speed leader/torque follower described previously. That principle is also applicable to the PowerFlex DC drives. There is further detailed information available from Load Sharing between PowerFlex DC Drives where key parameter settings are described. \\n </s>

<s>[INST] Kinetix 5100, disconnect encoder without fault Hello, I would like to know if it is possible, by ethernet ip, to disable the kinetix 5100 drive, it is to be able to disconnect the encoder (through an ATI tool changer), so that, while it is energized, to be able to make the change, and it does not cause an non-recoverable fault, since the way I know to reset the non-recoverable fault is to power cycle or reset the module, and it takes a long time. Another question, if the tool changer is used constantly, while the drive is energized, can it cause damage? Thanks a lot. [/INST] Alejandro I cannot find any documentation to suggest the encoder is RIUP (Removeable or Insertion while Under Power). This can be interpreted as the encoder connection was not designed/tested nor supported for RIUP. If the Kinetix is power but the CIP axis is disabled (open loop), I believe it is still reading the encoder position and it would register an encoder fault. https://rockwellautomation.custhelp.com/app/answers/answer_view/a_id/1090640 data-linkindex=0>Kinetix 5100 Servo Drive E011 Encoder Error Troubleshooting \\n </s>

<s>[INST] Motor Encoder Connector on U3000 Since my motor encoder do not have pinout of overtravel limit, I leave +LIMIT/-LIMIT pins open on CN2. After I startup the driver, there is an Error Code L flashing which means the drive is in overtravel condition. The manaual indicates that the motion will be halt if +LIMIT/-LIMIT circuit is open. I wonder if I can just jump +LIMIT/-LIMIT with EMPWR_5V (or ECOM?) to skip the detection of overtravel. YC [/INST] If you're using a standard Rotary motor, those pins are not active. If you're using a standard Linear Motor, those pins could be active, but only in case where the encoder has this feature. If you're using a custom Rotary or Linear motor, then the parameter could be enabled in the Motor database configuration. Open the Motor window inside Ultraware and look for Integral Limits in General group, if there is yes then the HW overtravel are enabled. If not, then the overtravel error could come from other ways, like configured Inputs of the drive, or from Programmable Software Overtravel limits.

This is an upgrade of a system we had with a SLC500 and an Ultra 3000 indexing through an HSRV. The motor is directly coupled to a ball screw to move flat sheets of material to a sequence of positions for forming. I have the homing sequence set to actively home to a switch, forward bi-directional, and the switch is a normally closed switch wired into the IOD connector of the Kinetix 350. From the Status screen of the Axis Properties, I can change the state of the Home I/O by waving something metal in front of the proximity switch. When I execute a MAH instruction, the ER bit comes on, and the Axis_Home.ERR parameter changes to 84. The ERR codes for Motion Instructions chart in Motion-RM002 says that it means this: 84 - The CIP drive device digital input is not assigned. - Drive Digital Input Not Assigned. I cannot find any place to specify that the homing switch should be anything other than the IOD input, and it seems like this should be intuitive. On the Ultra drives, I had to specify one of the digital inputs as the homing switch, but this should be automatic, right? What am I missing? [/INST] It should be automatic. You might try flashing the drive (current or newer version) to clear out any corrupt configuration information. You could also delete and re-create the axis in case there's something corrupt in the axis tag. \\n </s>

Also make sure your motor power cable has the exposed shield under the clamp as well. Making sure that all components are grounded properly can help resolve this issue. Have tech support send you the feedback wiring recommendation that they mentioned. Are there AC line filters installed on the incoming line?Are there MOV's installed on your AC contactors?Are there MOV's/diodes installed on your DC contactors?

With one of my customers, we're struggling to configure an 843ES encoder, here are the details. IP/DHCP configuration Our network configuration does not allow the default 192.168.1.xxx subnet of the 843ES encoder, therefore we have to revert to DHCP configuration. We tried the BOOTP/DHCP EtherNet/IP Commissioning Tool and the EtherNet/IP™ Address Commissioning Tool but it was not possible to use neither of those since they conflict with Windows svchost process on port 67. So, the only way we could enforce DHCP addressing was to set the rotary switches to 999. In this case, the encoder correctly acquired the IP address from our router. Is this the correct way to enable DHCP? Encoder configuration With DHCP enabled, the Module Status Indicator LED on the encoder flashes green/red, that is Device not configured. Chapter 5 Configure the Encoder with Studio 5000 Environment of 843-um001_-en-p.pdf states that The encoder does not work until it has been configured with at least the default configuration.. This chapter describes the encoder configuration using Studio 5000 suite. Two questions: Studio 5000 has many possible variants and configuration, what is the minimal required for configuring the 843ES? In our project we're not using a Rocwkell controller; Is it possible to configure and run the 843ES without Studio 5000? Thank you in advance for your attention, Ezio [/INST] Hello Ezio to answer your 1st question, yes ! setting BOOTP/DHCP you must Set the rotary dials to 999, and use RSlinx Classic. Refere to the Capter 4 of the 843ES User Manual. Now regarding the point that you are not using a Rockwell controller and environment, that is a problem. This device use Add On Profile in Studio 5000 to be configured and to sync with the CIP Safety protocol and Controller. So I'm almost (99%) sure that what you are trying to achieve is not possible in the actual situation (But I will double check) What is your application needs and objectives regarding this encoder? Does your environment support CIP Safety protocol? regards \\n </s>

<s>[INST] Ultra 3000 Indexing Drive I am using an Ultra 3000 in a simple positioning application. The drive is set up for Indexing and being commanded to move from a PLC using the Index control inputs. The axis is also being 'homed' using the Homing control inputs. The problem I am having is making the drive fault out during current overload. The homing target in this application is a removable piece (not a good idea IMO) but this allows for the homing routine to hunt for the sensor and never find it. The axis is moving slowly during homing and eventually runs into a hard stop. But the axis keeps trying and doesn't fault out. I have set the current limits to a safe low limit but the drive just rolls the current back but doesn't fault out in any reasonable time. I have currently set a timeout in my PLC to turn off the Drive Enable line after so much time. I was hoping that the drive would stop on its own instead. Any ideas?

<s>[INST] Kinetix 300 Vertical Brake Summary: Need information on wiring of control and timing for vertical application with holding brake We have a vertical application. The servo motor has a holding brake. An emergency turn off requires the following sequence (this is easy to achieve in other servos) 1. Press emergency stop 2. Signal (which one ?) to the Kinetix 300 is dropped (logic power and 3 phase is kept) 3. Kinetix brings any motion to a halt but holding torque is still on. 4. The Kinetix brake release output turns off to set the holding brake, holding power is maintained 5. A set time later (to allow the holding brake to fully engage) the holding power is released and the drive is disabled. External safety relay timed contacts will - after this action - remove power from the holding brake circuit and turn off the safety inputs to the Kinetix. (This wiring is already in place) We are confused as to the wiring/settings to achieve the numbered steps. This has been fairly easy and actually spelled out in manuals on other servo systems. [/INST] The place to start is here: http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/um/2097-um001_-en-p.pdf Page 93 shows the two parameters you would need to set (651 and 652) for time delays regarding the brake output of the K300 drive. You will need to coordinate the two parameters with your external safety relay timed contacts to make this work. It's not a control scheme I would be very happy with - the K300 is a very simplistic servo. I would take complete control of the brake via external logic (sounds like you already have it), and not do any brake control within the K300 at all. \\n </s>

It may be below the 265V max, but it needs to be closer to the nominal 240V recommended. Also, if you're cycling power, you need to give the drive bus capacitors time to discharge before applying power again.

The machine has been in service for 10 years, but we had a drive go bad a few weeks ago. We installed the new drive loaded the original parameter's back in, and it went back into production. We have a problem now that when you tell the drive to decel it goes to stopped. This started yesterday in the middle of production. The drive has a 110v adapter card that we send an analog input to for a speed reference. The drive shows that it is still enabled, and it is still being told to run. I am also trending the command speed with drive observer, and it is not dropping out either. I even put latch bits in the PLC to make sure that the drive commands are not blinking. The other thing I noticed is that the last stop source, and the last start source bot say pwr removed. I have looked all over for more clarification on what this means, but cant seem to find any. We are going to change the adapter card this morning, and see if that makes a difference. I am also going to hook a process meter up to the drive, and send it an analog signal just to verify the wiring. I am able to start the drive and ramp it up I can start and 30hz and ramp it up incrementally no problem. The problem only occurs when trying to slow it down. I have a breaking resistor installed as well, but the dc buss doesn't even go up. If we want to start the drive back up, then we have to cut off the start signal and turn it back on again. There is no faults or warnings on the drive, and it still shows enabled. I have included a screen shots for reference as well. I guess my question is has anyone ever had a drive do this?

<s>[INST] Kinetix 5300 Communication I have two Kinetix 5300 drives in a new machine. Connecting to a 1769-L36ERM compactlogix processor version 33.

The drives go through their startup sequence and reach 04 state. I can start and run the drives without errors. I have replaced the 100 foot Ethernet cable out to the drives. I have replaced that cable also with a Cat 5e cable that checks out with our blackbox cable tester. I have moved the connection from the system Ethernet switch directly to a port on the processor. I have pulled the 24V supply to the drives until the system starts up, and applied power. The only thing that makes the drives come online is pulling the Ethernet cable and re-inserting. I have two powerflex 523's on the line that have no problem attaching at startup. What am I missing? [/INST] Don't have a good answer as to why you're seeing this phenomenon, but you could try programatically disabling the drives in the IO tree and then re-enabling them. It would do the same thing as unplugging the cable. It sounds like there is some sort of boot process foot race and the 5300s consistently fail the race. Programatically disabling / reenabling fixes the problem (though it doesn't solve it). The snippet below shows how to do this: You use value 4 to disable, value 0 to enable. I made constant tags to help others read the logic. Instance name is the name of the drive in the IO tree (not the axis name in the motion group). We use this sort of logic to allow the motion group to initialize on boot when a drive is missing / failed. All drives must be in place and communicating with the processor at time of PLC boot; if one is missing the motion group never initializes. The logic above allows an a drive to be programatically disabled which then permits the motion group to initialize and run. \\n </s>

But for the 2 feedback contacts (inputs) in the ROUT-instruction, I thought about using for Feedback1- and Feedback2-field the same safety Input. So far so good.Then I read the help function of the Rout instruction again and saw that it will do Pulse-checking on both inputsignals (feedback1 and feedback2-inputs).If it makes pulse checking according SIL3/CAT4 on both inputs what will the instruction do when there are 2times the same input configured?

Regards,Frank V. [/INST] Hi Frank, Pulse checking is done by configuring the safety in- and outputs, it has nothing to do with the ROUT function.If the input is configured for testpulse and that input does not get the correct testpulse signal, it will fail. So your solution is to configure only one feedback signal for testpulse. Only one testpuls output goes to your feedback input. In your ROUT block, use the input for both feedbacks and you are ready. p.s.Testpuls is mainly used for more diagnosis. Your application will also work without testpuls. Success,Cya \\n </s>

<s>[INST] Problem with SERCOS interface on Ultra3000 Drive. We have a control system that consists of 4 Ultra3000's communicating with an Allen Bradley PLC via a SERCOS fiber optic link. Ever since the initial startup of this unit we have had intermittent communication errors. Well, today they became much less intermittent and more permanent, we could only keep communication established for about 10 minutes in every hour. Each one of these drives are connected to the SERCOS in series to each other. It was obvious therefore to find out where the communication ended. I have no way to test the quality of or the data integrity of a fiber optic link, I can only use my eyesight to verify that there is light emitting from the SERCOS link at whatever point that I remove a cable. It was obvious using this method that the signal was entering a certain drive in the string, and in fact was being acted upon since the communication light was green, but it was not exiting this drive and entering the next one in the string. The red light was not emitting from the output of this card, so that eliminates the next fiber optic cable as being the problem. Also, if I remove the cable from the input of the bad drive and install it in the input of the next drive in the string, the rest of the drives from that point on establish communication again. So, obviously, the SERCOS interface card is defective in that drive. The question is, What has been the resolution of this problem? If you ran into this, was it just as simple as maybe the card is not fully seated into the connector in the drive? Remember, this problem is intermittent, it comes then it goes. I actually observed the output starting to work, then not work visually several times while the output cable was removed. Or does anyone know what specific component on the board may be defective? I have not disassembled the drive yet to see what components are there, but assume there must be an optocoupler I.C. of some sort that may be getting spotty? Or possibly something as simple as a poor solder joint? The simple answer is obviously to replace the card, but the customer is coming in Monday afternoon to observe the unit we are using this control system on run, so it might be quicker to source the individual component locally. Thank you for your help. [/INST] Is the drive with the problem still under warranty? I have never messed with the internal hardware of the SERCOS interface on the Ultra 3K but I have had this problem before. I just had the drive replaced. By the time you mess around with troubleshooting at the component level, you could just get a new drive and be done with it. I don't know what the urgency for this application is, but the drives aren't that expensive. \\n </s>

Best regards......... [/INST] Mr. PLC, the K300 isn't really intended to function that way. The K350 WILL do what you want, automatically. The K2000, K6000, K6300, K6500 will as well. The K300 drive is intended to be a stand-alone indexing drive. It IS possible to send move commands (position, speed, accel, etc.). There are add-on instructions available in the Motion Accelerator Toolkit to run a K300 from Logix5000. I've never tried to change any configuration parameters of a K300 drive from Logix, however. If you have not already purchased the K300 drive, I strongly suggest you switch over to the K350. The K350 is intended to be controlled from a Logix environment. All of the drive parameters are set and adjusted from Logix, are stored with the Logix application. To answer your second question, if you replace a Kinetix drive with an equivalent one, you should not have to do anything at all. If you put in a drive from the same family but larger power, you may have to adjust some parameters in the I/O tree and the axis properties. If you replace one Kinetix drive with another of a completely different family (say, replace a K350 with a K6000), you will likely have a number of parameters to adjust, but it wouldn't take long. \\n </s>

See Chapter 23 Socket Interface Using CIP Generic Messaging in MicroLogix 1400 Reference Manual. Unfortunately I've not found examples about that, just something about the -EWEB module of CLX, which uses similar manner to communicate through Open Sockets over Ethernet....In case, take a look to the following technotes for reference: Aid 33240 - Aid 32962 - fuzzy logic \\n </s>

<s>[INST] Heartbeat for Powerflex 70 EC w/ ethernet with Logix Profile Hello, I came acrossed a slight issue today. I have a Powerflex 70EC VFD with ethernet connect to my CLX v16 PLC. The drive was running and I use the DriveStatus_Active bit as my running feedback. In the middle of the drive running, an electrician unplugged the ethernet cable from the drive which stopped the drive however the DriveStatus_Active bit stayed high and the drive displayed as running on my HMI. I was wondering if the Powerflex has heartbeat I can configure in the datalink so I can fault the drive on the HMI if I lose comms in the above scenario. [/INST] I would like to suggest a way to check the connection with your drive, that I've used in many plants...You may program a GSV instruction, checking the drive status using Module object... you may find some examples in the following technote: Aid 24162 In the RSLogix5000 online help, search for GSV/SSV objects - MODULE, to see what is available to check... see also attached screenshot with an example.... Hope this helps…- fuzzy logic \\n </s>

<s>[INST] PF 400 output current fluctuations Summary: pf400 output current is fluctuation too muchhoping all you are doing great. here is new the problem, PF 400 3-phase 25Hp drive is having issue. in telephonic discussion with site person he told me that there are total 7 drives out of which 2 drives is having issues. these drives are connected with motor and motor is coupled with load via Belt system. Load is FAN and application is blower. drives are working fine when load is uncoupled with motor. Issue is that during operation current fluctuations can be observed from 15 amps to 45 amps and motor is producing too much noise. I already told them to set basic motor parameters and to increase PWM frequency from 4khz to 6khz but it wasn't making much difference. also compensation mode to set at both(electrical and mechanical) sometimes drive is also faulting at F7. accl dcl time is above 50sec. boost select is at 0.0 no IR, what else can be done to overcome this issue. regards. [/INST] Is this a new installation, or have they been running normally for some time and the problem suddenly cropped up? What is the nameplate data for the motor? What is the exact part number for the PF400 drive? All 7 systems are identical, but 2 do not function correctly. What is different about those 2? Are the belts tensioned in the same manner as the other 5, and tensioned to the same amount? Do the fans spin freely by hand (is there something wrong with the bearings)? Many questions, but they all need to be answered to diagnose this problem. \\n </s>
