### Human: Kinetix 300 Save/Load Connection/Configuration wanted. Summary: Cannot find documentation explaining Save/Load functions. Please send linkI have to back existing configurations ons Kinetix 300 servo drives before making changes to a machine. I have never worked on these drives. There are Save Connection, Load Connection, Save Configuration and Load Configuration options on MotionView Onboard software. I cannot find a description telling me which one will do an upload for backup. It is not in the User's Manual. If you have a link a to a document explaining these, please send it to me. I would also like to know how to open the files offline. I cannot find that either. I think they are .dcf files. ### Assistant: Save / Load connection buttons take care of the communication setup. Save / Load configuration buttons take care of the servo settings excluding communication. Save button saves to your computer. Load button loads TO the drive. In order to view the settings off-line, you'll need to save the Java application which you use to access the drive (the one that you run in your web browser). If you save the Java app to your computer, you can then run that while off-line and open the configuration file. \\n


### Human: PF755 over Ethernet/IP with CompactLogix Summary: How to setup the communication?Hi all, I have 2 PF755 suposelly communication with my CompactLogix. Everything looks ok but when I set the Reference value and the Start bit the drive does not start. I used the 755 Profile in Sudio 5000. Everything seems fine but I have the feeling that I am missing one little configuration like where the drive should read the reference and start/stop from. I did not change this as I think this is automatically done when the Tags are created by the profle. Is there a document that explains what exactly has to be setup? Thank you in advance for your help. Thales Jacques ### Assistant: Can you upload your ACD file for us to look at? Also, the DNO files for the drives? It may be nothing wrong with your ACD file, but rather the configuration of the drives themselves. \\n


### Human: Setting Home position on an absolute encoder Summary: I don't see where to choose absoluteHello all, I have a MPL-B320P-MJ74AA connected to a Kinetix 350 drive 2097-V34PR5-LM. I need to be able to set the absolute encoder to 0 at the home position. I've read in other posts to go to the Homing tab, but there is no tab under the properties dialog for the Kinetix. There is a homing branch listed on the left hand side of the box but I can't choose Absolute under the Mode drop down, only Active or Passive. Any ideas? My system has 88 taught positions, and if I lose 0 its a lot of work to recover! ### Assistant: Randy, the homing tab is to define what happens when you issue a homing instruction MAH. One way to do what you're trying to do is, when you know the axis is at its home position, issue an MRP command, position 0. \\n


### Human: Powerflex DC 6.002 firmware anomalies Summary: The newest firmware might have a polarity problemMy company just commissioned two identical systems, one in October, one at the end of December. October's PF DC drive used 6.001 firmware. We downloaded the DNO file from it to the system commissioned in December, into a drive with 6.002 firmware. We had to swap motor and armature feedback leads to get proper directional control. 6.002 firmware fixed a certain anomaly involving adaptive speed gains. Rather than go through the whole speed tuning process again, we downgraded the firmware so that the adaptive gains which worked for the first installation would work in the second. We had to swap the motor and armature feedback leads back again in order to get directional control correct. One should not have to swap polarity just because you change the firmware. Has anyone else encountered this anomaly? ### Assistant: Interesting observation! You say motor and armature feedback leads, so was that the motor armature leads were swapped, and also the tacho leads were swapped? confirm please. I was responsible for finding an anomaly with V6.001 and alerting RA to it in that we had a special application where we wanted to employ external field control on a motor but at a fixed value (i.e. no weakening). We also wanted to employ the feedback bypass feature, where if the pulse encoder failed, the motor would revert to armature voltage control, but the firmware doesn't allow you to disable the internal field controller without having a feedback device (field configuration conflict alarm condition). The way around this was to select a permanent magnet field, but strangely enough when the motor was started the drive faulted on motor over-voltage. The reason for this is that the firmware had a bug where the motor speed feedback from reading the armature voltage was held at zero. This worked before V6.001 and was fixed in V6.002 Maybe there is a new bug introduced in this area in fixing the issue we had? \\n


### Human: MAM (motion axis move) ERROR Summary: Intermittent MAM.ERI have 2 servo driven linear transfer slides that faults out several times per week. When this happens I have found that the MAM is in ER condition. The only thing that I can find in the vast array of tags is MotionControl[1].ERR = 5. Anyone have any ideas what is causing this. Also, there are 2 of these servo drives and it is happening on either one, but not both at he same time. AXIS_SERVO_DRIVE AMP= 2094-AMP5 MOTOR= MPL-A230P-Vxx2 MotionControl[1].ERR = 5 ### Assistant: Larsen, you can find more information using the help file with Logix 5000 or Logix Designer. 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. TJ McDermott Systems Interface, Inc. \\n


### Human: Powerflex 40 and 22-comm-e F081 on power up. Hello, I have been having a communication problem with several drives in control system after power is cycled whether it is off for 60 sec or 2 hours it doesn't matter I will get a F081 fault sometimes it will reset right off the bat by pushing stop button other times I could be there for 20 min waiting for the drive to indicate any power is going to the 22-comn-e and then when it does I may have too hit stop- button multiple times to get it to reset and communicate or the drive gets replaced and everything works as normal after replacing. I have replaced several drives out of this system that haven't been in service for very long with this problem so right now I'm am looking for a solution to fix problem if any. Thanks for the help in advance. ### Assistant: I have a couple of questions. How are your comm cables located in relation to your power cables? Are both your comm and power cables shielded, and shielded from each other? Are you actually losing comms or just getting the error? How long are you network cable runs? If there is nothing wrong with the physical installation, i.e. cable integrity, comm card, connections, etc, then I suspect noise in your comms lines. \\n


### Human: Powerflex 525 vector mode explanation? Summary: What is velocity vector mode?We have recently learned that the PF525 drives in closed loop vector mode are not in flux vector control, they have what our local RA drives rep described as velocity vector control. He described it as glorified V/Hz mode with feedback. I see that the speed control specs are not as good as a flux vector drive. I've done some searching on the knowledgebase and in a general web search but I am finding nothing about velocity vector control. Can anyone explain a little more about it, perhaps a few points to compare/contrast with flux vector control? Thanks, Bob ### Assistant: nan \\n


### Human: Drive Executive and Observer Summary: Drive observer greyed outI am using drive executive Lite version 5.06.03. Drive Observer is greyed always greyed out under the Tools menu. I tried with being online with the VFD and no success on running drive observer. I am not sure if I am missing something here. Do I need to install drive observer independent of Drive Executive or is it part of the drive tools SP? Is drive observer available for the Lite version? Any help will be appreciated as I am at start-up and cannot run Drive Observer for debug. Thanks ### Assistant: Hi there, Drives Observer is not available in the lite version of Executive. It is only available in the Drive Tools Suite, or as an add-on to the full Executive version. \\n


### Human: Powerflex 523 and connected components Summary: Connecting to 523 through connected componentsThis may be a simple question but i can seem to make it work. Is here a way to connect to a Powerflex 523 drive through Connected Components Workbench using the USB port on the control module? ### Assistant: No, the only way to connect live to the drive with CCW is to use the 1203-USB while the drive is powered. However, you can pre-configure you program in CCW, then export the file to a .pf5 format from CCW. Then plug your computer into the drive via the USB port in the back of the control module and import the .pf5 file to the drive. Once this is done, your drive should be programmed and ready for testing.

### Human: Kinetix drive axis practical remove Summary: drive hardware removed, run the machine without too much changes in the projecta Kinetix 7000 drive and motor are actually removed from a machine. the project was engineered with RSLogix 5000 using motion axis control through Sercos interface 1756-M16SE. the fiber optic ring is closed again without the presence of the above drive. what is the simplest practical way to run the machine again without any faults? i was considering the Inhibit Axis feature, to avoid destroying the software. any recommendations from the experts? ### Assistant: Inhibit axis would work fine, but you're going to have to look at overall application logic and make patches around the logic which refers to this drive. If you don't do this, then the logic will stall while it waits for responses from that drive. It shouldn't take that long to go through the logic to pull out or patch around the references to the drive. Doing it now, while you're thinking about the drive, makes more sense than 2 years down the road. Some poor slob will be trying to debug the machine and see program references to some mystery drive that doesn't exist. \\n

### Human: all green leds are flashing on a Sercos interface 1756-M16SE module Summary: where are the drive error explanations and solutionsall green leds are flashing on a Sercos interface 1756-M16SE module. one axis has module fault 16 ### Assistant: Well, I'm not an expert on the matter...just found some info: When the SERCOS phase up process stops at phase 1 it usually indicates a duplicate node has been detected on the ring.The Node switches are only read on initial power-up of the devices that is on the SERCOS ring. If you change a switch setting, you must recycle power on the device to have it 're-read' the switches and produce the new node setting on the SERCOS ring.

### Human: Kinetix 6500 module faults Summary: Spurious module faultsHere's hoping someone can help! I've been trying solve issues with spurious 'module faults' on a system with 7 axis. The faults have occurred across nearly all the servo drives, all with the same outcome; Once the servo axis has detected a module fault, an alarm is generated in the PLC and the system stopped. However, all the drives are seen to be healthy with no faults both on the drive display and via RS Logix 5000. Could this be a firmware issue? ### Assistant: What is the coarse update period for the motion group? These errors sound like it is too small. If you did not set the coarse update period, the default is 2 milliseconds. I would probably double it for your 7 axes, unless you have other motion axes as well (such as a PF755). I might even set it to 5 milliseconds to ensure no timing problems. \\n


### Human: PowerFlex 400 Multiple Speed Sources Summary: Want two sources of speed Analog In and a PresetIs it possible to have multiple speed sources for the PowerFlex 400? What I'm trying to accomplish is to have a pump run normally throughout the day with the Analog In signal as the speed source. This is how it works now. Have a selector switch run the pump at max speed for clean up at night. For reference here is what I have: P035 - 80.0 Hz [Max Hz] P036 - 2 [2 Wire Start] P038 - Started out at 2 [Analog In 1], this is where I tried to set it up at 4 [Preset Freq] P039 - 30.0 Sec [Accel Time] P040 - 30.0 Sec [Deccel Time] T051 - 8 [Preset Frequency] T052 - 14 [Anlg1 InCtrl] T069 - 2 (4-20mA) [Analog In 1 Select] A144 - 80.0 Hz [Preset Frequecy 1] I have a switch going from the jumper of 01/11 to 02. This starts the drive. This works as desired. The Analog In for the speed reference is on terminals 13 (+) and 14 (Com). This is the speed reference. This works also as desired. What I tried to do was have a 2 way selector switch with Terminal 04 [Digital Common] on one end and it would either make contact with Terminal 05 [Digital In 1] or Terminal 06 [Digital In 2]. This did not work. The drive wouldn't even move. So I put P038 back to 2, and it worked like it did before. The DIP switch is on SRC... Should I move the wires from Terminal 04 to Terminal 01/11? Is what I'm thinking possible? Thanks. ### Assistant: I just tested this and answered my own question. Yes the common wire should be from Terminal 01/11 not Terminal 04. I guess this could be helpful for anyone else who may need it. \\n

### Human: Powerflex 400 Summary: Motor high current/failureI have a Powerflex 400 Drive that is controlling a 30 HP motor and have had 2 motor failures in less than 1 month. There is no line reator installed and I don't know if it would help or not. The motor has a 1.15 service factor and I have used it numerous time without issues at other plants. The motor is loacted about 200 feet from the drive. It consistantly runs at a high current even with no load on the motor. FLA on the motor is 38 and though I initionally had about 20 amps of load; the load has increased overnight by 15. The conditions have not changed. Any idea as to why this motor may be failing? There are about 30 motors on this line and they have been running with no issues. I have now replaved the motor twice, the power cables once, and the VFD once. ### Assistant: I have a couple questions for you, what is the voltage of the drive and motor? What is the application you are performing with the drive and motor? A service factor rating in a motor is a rating similar to that of the OL rating on a drive, and the PF400 has an OL rating of 110% for one minute. Is there any output filtering between the drive and the motor? What type of cabling are you using? Is the motor VFD rated? Have a look at Chapter 5 of this guide; http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/in/drives-in001_-en-p.pdf It should help you to understand better what my questions are about. \\n


### Human: 2-phase Powerflex 755? Hi Is it possible to use only two phases (230V each) for supplying Powerflex 755 driving 3-phase motor? I am asking because I've noticed that some of our power inverters are connected to three phases but when I measure current in each phase there is only current in L2 and L3 and no in L1. ### Assistant: Rockwell technical data document: http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/td/750-td001_-en-p.pdf page 9 says frames 1 through 7 can be supplied with single-phase, at the cost of derating the drive capacity by 50%. You cannot select by software to single-phase the drive, you have to wire it that way. What is the voltage between each of the legs? \\n


### Human: PowerFlex400 Driv e not going to Zero Hz I have (3) 40hp PF400 drives that are running fans. The speed references are two digital inputs from a selector switch, High, Off & Low. The Off position has no function. When the selector is in Off there is no speed reference, however, the drive does not stop running, but continues to idle between 19 & 20 Hz. When either of the inputs is on the drive accelerates to the preset that is assigned to that input. The HIM displays Decelerating while the drive is idling but the Output Frequency never goes below 19Hz. The terminals for STOP (1) and START (2) are connected to 24V (11). Terminal (5) is SPEED1 and Terminal (6) is SPEED 2. Any thoughts on why these drives are not fully decelerating to zero Hz when speed reference is removed would be appreciated. ### Assistant: If you're using 2 inputs to run predefined frequencies, define the third frequency as both inputs off, with a 0 hz preset. You're using IN1 and IN2 for speed presets, right? T051 and T051 parameters are set to 8 (preset frequency)? If that's the case, then IN1 = 0, IN2 = 0, the drive uses A143 for frequency source (Preset Freq 0) IN1 = 1, IN2 = 0, the drive uses A144 for frequency source (Preset Freq 1) IN1 = 0, IN2 = 1, the drive uses A145 for frequency source (Preset Freq 2) Set A143 to 0 hz.

### Human: Kinetix 6000 gives E10 alarm on final move Summary: E10 alarm when moving home after completing a productI have a Kinetix 6000 which is used to push tubes into a matrix of baffles for an oil cooler. There are a variety of products ran on this machine, but one particular product generates an E10 alarm on the Kinetix drive. It takes 19 pushes and homes to make one product. All are basically identical as far as I can tell: The pusher pushes distance X and homes each time. Yet on the last push sequence the drive faults with a E10 fault as it traverses home. A simple press of the the reset button clears the alarm and allows the continuation of production, but the operator has to home the machine each time to verify the pushers are home for the next start cycle. I have been unable to isolate the cause of the fault other than the E10 on the drive, and since almost all the products are identical in form, but different lengths, and other products are not failing, I am puzzled what could be different about this one stroke, on this one product. I am currently trying to access the part parameters to see how they compare to other parts, but other than that my avenues of approach to this problem seem limited. E10, by the way is a bus overvoltage alarm. ### Assistant: When exactly in the last move do you get the fault? Is this axis moving vertically? Is it possible to add a time delay before executing that last home move? Wait several seconds, say, then go home? Alternatively, slow down that final move a bit. \\n


### Human: PowerFlex 70 not using the speed ref from the PLC Summary: The drive shows that the Ref Owner is DPI Port5 but the drive ramps up to 60hz anywayThe plant was recently hit by lightning and there was an AB 1336 Plus running a pump. The PLC was sending the speed reference to the 1336 via an different R I/O card. We upgraded to a Powerflex 70 with a 20-Comm-R card for Remote I/O communications. The new PF70 was installed with appropriate pump parameters. Also the following parameters were set: P90 (spd ref A Sel) set for 22 (DPI Port5), P274 and P276-285 (all set for bit 5 'DPI Port5'), P361-P366 (Dig inx) all set to '0'. The drive starts/stops when the PLC tells it to. There are no hardwired inputs. The problem is that even though the P292 (Reference Owner) shows as DPI Port 5, the drive ramps up to 60Hz (or whatever P82 is set to) even though I see P275 varying the way same as the PLC discrete output word. However P2 (command Freq) shows whatever is in P82 (Max Speed). Can anyone see a problem in this? I've been scratching my head a lot on this one and its starting to hurt. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for any support. ### Assistant: Hello, Looks to me like its not taking the Commanded Speed, Are you sending block transfer message to the drive? I wonder if something is missing on the adapter, Could you check the chapter #3 and make sure it's not disable. http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/um/20comm-um004_-en-p.pdf \\n


### Human: why my autotuning on Powerlex 755 using rotate tune is unable to finish successfully? Summary: Always gives the tip that please verify if motor parameter is correct.Rotate tune unable to finish check parameters. I am having problems getting rotate tune to finish. I have reset the drive and used the drive wizard to set up to the motor name plate. I have a PF755 100 HP heavy duty or 125 normal duty drive. The motor is a Baldor Reliance RPM AC Motor. 100 HP at 1750 RPM, 119 Amps, 460 Volts, 60 HZ or 100 HP at 2000 RPM, 118 Amps 460 Volts at 68.5 Hz. I reset the drive to normal duty using Induction FV mode and set motor parameters to 100HP, 1750 RPM, 119 Amps, 460 Volt at 60 Hz. The motor has a 1024 Pulse tac for motor speed feeback and is uncoupled from load. Should I be resetting drive up for Heavy duty and what motor name plate data should I be using? Is there any other things I should be checking? Motor runs but it seems to over shoot when there is a speed set point change and will oscilate for a while and then settles out. I have played with the speed regulator tuning trying to settle it out with no luck. ### Assistant: Are you using Connected Components Workbench or Drive Executive to tune the drive, or are you commencing autotune from the HIM on the drive? If using the HIM, before you enter the autotune menu, change parameter 71 (Autotune Torque) to 100. The default is 50%, and that is sometimes not enough for autotune. If using CCW or Drive Executive, the Autotune Torque setting is on the Autotune page and the Inertia tune page - set it to 100 before beginning the autotune. \\n


### Human: Cannot Delete or Un-Inhibit PowerFlex module in RS5000 RS5000 Version 18 (recently revved up from 17). Three PowerFlex drives were added to ENBT in IO tree and inhbitied online when controller was 17. Controller revved up to 18 and put back in service a couple of weeks ago. Today trying to commission those three drives, but now cannot un-inhibit 2 of the 3 drives. No error codes just Failed to modify properties. Tag is actively being read by one or more clients. Single processor application, running PanelView Pluses, none of which are using any tags from these drives. Tried deleting logic and deleting the modules, but got similiar message (Failed to Delete module. Tag is actively being read by one or more clients.). Tried creating new module with different IP address, checked Inhibit before the last step in creating the module. Created it, but same issue, cannot delete or uninhibit it. Downloaded the application to a spare controller and everthing works fine. Tried going online with a laptop instead of the typical desktop, same issue. At this point , downloading or restarting the processor is not an option as the process runs 24/7. Any ideas? ### Assistant: Normally, it can be done, unless the object is actively read or write through OPC server / clients, Operator Panels etc...Sometimes these softwares create OPC groups and keep them active also when unused... There are some instances where I've seen a similar problem, it seems the tags are locked by the controller.... only solution I guess is the one you cannot realize right now... make modifications offline and re-download.:smileysad: - fuzzy logic \\n


### Human: powerFlex4 f005 error I am using a powerflex4 inverter with 0.75 kw rating 1-phase input and there is an error f005 (over voltage error) is appearing at power up and it is disappear after many tries of clearing the fault and restart it . and when I shut the power off for a time and want to run it again this fault appear again .note that : I am using it's appropriate EMC filter and input line voltage not exceeds it's recommended value (265 v) and when I measured the voltage at dc terminal it is around 308 v (normal value ) so I am kindly asking about guide to know what is the problem and what is solution ..... thanks ### Assistant: If this is happening at power-on, your line-in voltage is too high. 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. If you're cycling off-on more frequently than one minute, the bus voltage doesn't decay low enough and you end up with an F5 fault on power-up. \\n

Everything checked out OK when tracing that but, drive wouldn't stay engaged. Replaced it and everything works. I was just wondering what the 219Error was so I know what to look for next time. Thanks ### Assistant: Adrian, where is 219 displayed? On the drive itself? the PF4 user manual only lists faults up to 122. Is the fault being displayed in a PLC or on an HMI, or in RS Linx? Powerflex 4 on its LED display will show faults with a leading F and then a 3-digit number. 219E would not be a normal display for Powerflex 4. 219E doesn't give any search results in the Rockwell knowledgebase, and neither does F219. Is there a communications card installed in the drive? DH485 communications possibly? \\n

### Human: rotery motor hello i work with kinetix 6000 and a motor how drive a plateau with 8 steps. each step = 45deg. When the motor turns 1 time around the plateau turns 3deg. My start position (he gives) 215 not zero. i thought count (+45deg offset) every time. but when he goes up 360deg he gives error. or is it something like this: (215 - 215) + X This X first time 0deg afther this every time +45deg. but how i go from 360deg to the home step? can someone help me ? ### Assistant: 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


### Human: 1398-PDM Error 33 Summary: IAVG Error with motor detachedI have a customer out in the field that has the following setup 1398-PDM-150B Drive H-8500 Motor They receive an Error 33 IAVG fault with the motor detached from the machine. It appears they can cycle the motor for a short time period before it starts to fault (20 cycles or so). Duty cycle is about 1 stroke every 4 seconds. If they try to increase the speed it will fault out quicker. I have had them pull and check the encoder and power connections and make sure they are clean. The drive has 230 VAC feeding the drive and control. They have 350VDC in the DC bus. What else could I look at?? Thanks ### Assistant: Were they able to try a spare motor? If the trouble goes away with a different motor, I would suggest that the motor bearings were starting to fail. Did the motor have a brake on it? Even if they were not using the brake, the wear on the disc spinning in the housing can cause enough drag that might cause the motor to fault. \\n

The series A apparently so I have read will not work with DPI interface (only scanport) but a series B will. You may need to ensure the driver for it is installed on your PC. Also check it is present in the Control Panel... Device Manager.... Ports (Com & LPT) section, where you can also check the Com port # and the settings of it to talk to the device. Also remember an Anacanda is powered by the drive DPI port, not the PC so it can't be checked unless it is inserted into a powered up drive unit. Regards Damian \\n


### Human: How increase OL Trip sensitivity on PowerFlex 4M Summary: Using drive w/ 3/4HP motor on conveyor; obstruction will trip OL but not before damage is done to conveyor.Need to find modification (hopefully drive parameter) to prevent damage to conveyor mechanism when obstruction blocks motion of conveyor. The goal is to automatically detect obstruction (high load) and stop the drive. Current system will stop for OL but is not sensitive/quick enough to prevent damage. I have some process flexibility to reduce torque or change speed if needed. Now using a Powerflex 4M drive w/ 3ph 3/4HP motor and gearbox to move conveyor. The normal operating load is very stable at 0.67-0.68 Amp. Setting P103 (motor OL current) to about 5% above nominal will stop motion, but it takes a few seconds to trip (too late). Have also tried A448 (sw current trip) but this trips quickly during the initial startup load unless setting is above 2.0 Amp. Can this be activated only after achieving speed? Other parameter settings that may help? ### Assistant: Duplicated topic.

### Human: Powerflex 523 Ready and Digital In Feedback Summary: Ready and Digital In Status not working I have 52 Powerflex 523's on an Ethernet network using 523-E2P modules and DLR for the network. The drives are connected to an EN2TR module on the Control Logix Rack. PLC is L62 V20.12 EN2TR module is V4.4 Powerflex Add On Profile is PF5ClassAOP V1.03 The safety circuit is low level, Enable relays from the E-stop circuit tied to terminals 11 & 1 and set to enable. The problem I am having is the Ready feedback to the PLC is not working correctly. When I lose the enable circuit, I still have the input that the drive is Ready. Also, the feedback for Digital Inputs 1-4 are not working either to the PLC. The drive functions correctly and is seeing the inputs, they are just not sent correctly to the PLC. The drive will not run without the enable relay energized. ### Assistant: Have been finding a number of status bits oin the 520 series drives not working properly. Was told that some of this should be fixed by the next firmware release, sometime in December. What torques me about this new series is that one of the desirable features is the built in safety-off function in the 525, You would think that this function would also be available in the 523. Why would I want to purchase/use this drive, when it doesn't give me a control/safety advantage. I can get the same functionality with the PF4/PF40's. William \\n

### Human: 755 - No fault, no alarm - RUNs but produces no output Summary: Drive is ENABLED, but T1/T2/T3 always=0, HIM says there's an output Power the drive. (No on-site firmware updates have been done…running just as it came from the factory – 11.001) Reset the drive, and each peripheral device, to Factory Settings, using the HIM. Measure the DC+/DC- terminals, = ~680VAC Run the HIM-driven commissioning steps (with exception of autotune), and tell the drive that the HIM should be able to start/stop the drive. Attempt to run the drive. Drive front panel shows an output (in this case, 15HZ), and also it shows an output voltage (~120V). HOWEVER THERE IS NO OUTPUT ON THE T1,T2,T3 TERMINALS. Repeated the effort by loading a parameter set from a good drive, and running the drive from Drive Executive (directly connected to drive with ethernet cable between drive and laptop…just as with the prior good drive). All indications are that the drive is running and producing an output, but nothing shows on the output terminals, wired to a motor or open loop. Removed SafeOff connector, and indication changes from Enabled to Not Enabled. So, the summary of the problem is that both the HIM and DriveExecutive show that the drive is creating an output, both in HZ and volts, but nothing is measured on the drive terminals, connected or unconnected. My biggest concern is why the Drive Output Volts parameter, which claims to be representative of the voltage on T1/T2/T3 would differ, at ALL. Cat.

### Human: PF40M on a crane Summary: Misapplication of the PF40M?A customer is trying to use a PF40M on a crane hoist. They are getting Over Current faults. There doesn't appear to be a good drive parameter configuration for the use of a PF40M in this application. I think they need to bite the bullet and use a PF700 or a PF755 type drive. If I'm wrong, has anyone successfully applied the PF40M on a hoist? If so what's the secret parameter configuration? ### Assistant: A PF755 would be much much better, but the drive also needs to be sized correctly. It sounds like the drive is not large enough for the load. \\n


### Human: Servo Motors and Air Cylinders Hi, I'm looking for a way to make an air cylinder reach its extended position when my servo axis reaches a certain position. The cylinder and servo are 2 separate things. The servo is controlling an elevator type device (up/down) and the cylinder moves a knob in/out to the elevator. Since my cylinder takes n-seconds to reach its extended position (from retract) no mater what speed my servo goes, how can I make sure the cylinder reaches its extended position at the same time that my servo passes/stops at a certain position? I'm using an MAM for the servo. I'm thinking that after I start the MAM, there is a known motion profile for the servo drive controller to follow. Can I determine what position the servo will be at n-seconds before the end of the planned move? Or use some sort of output cam? Thanks, Denis. ### Assistant: It sounds like you do not have feedback from the air cylinder - you do not know its position as it moves. Without feedback, this is not going to be very precise. Your air cylinder speed is completely dependent on air pressure. Any changes or fluctuations are going to change your speed/position calculations. That said, if all you have is the time that it takes for the cylinder to extend, instead of using a Motion Axis Move (MAM) command, use a Motion Axis Time Cam (MATC) instruction. Look at the Logix help file for MATC to see how to use it. Also refer to the motion instruction reference manual: http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/rm/motion-rm002_-en-p.pdf \\n


### Human: PowerFlex DC Drive current limit Summary: How to achieve drive full O/L capacityIt seems that the PowerFlex DC drive will only allow an output current capacity relative to the motor name plate FLC, regardless of being in ND or HD mode, and will not output anymore current even though the drive is overrated for the motor. My situation is the motor FLC Parameter[179]=180A therefore the drive will only output 150% & 200% in ND mode = 270A/360A and 200% & 250% in HD mode = 360A/450A, even though the capacity of the drive is 250A (150% & 200% should be 375A/500A in ND mode). We are installing on a Steel Mill roller table which requires +425A at times on heavy sections. Any thoughts or advice please. ### Assistant: The drive may be oversized relative to the motor, but that's the point of parameter 179. Giving the motor nameplate current will permit the drive to set the overloads relative to the motor. 200% overload for your 180A motor is rather less than 425 that you want. Is the PFDC replacing something, or is this a new installation? Your statements would make it seem the DC motor is undersized for the loads. \\n

### Human: PF753 - can I use units other than Hz or RPM? Summary: Web handling application - I would like to set units to feet per minute (web speed)Hi, I am considering using a PowerFlex 753 drive for a web handling application. I see that parameter 300 [Speed Units] allows me to select either Hz or RPM for the units to be used for all speed related parameters. The units that I would really prefer would be my web speed in feet per minute (FPM). This equals the surface speed of my driven roll. I can use my gear ratio and roll diameter to calculate the scale factor required to convert motor RPM to web speed in FPM, but I don't see if/how I can enter this into the PF753 so that it would allow me to enter my speed setpoint in FPM and display my actual speed in FPM. If anyone can tell me if/how I can do this, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance, Paul ### Assistant: You don't do it to the drive specifically - you change the process screen of the HIM. http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/um/20him-um001_-en-p.pdf See page 37 of the user manual at the link above. \\n


### Human: PowerFlex 700 drives in master/follower relationship Hi, My company builds web handling equipment in which we have a single master web drive that is followed by one or more follower web drives. Until now, we have been using speed controllers made by Contrex with DC permanent magnet motors. There have been three generations of Contrex speed controllers that we have used – the M-Trim, the ML-Trim, and now the MLP-Trim. The Contrex speed controller monitors frequency feedback from a speed sensor on our drive shaft, and regulates a 0-10 VDC signal to a drive board to do closed-loop speed control. With DC motors, we use four quadrant regenerative drive boards from KB electronics. This setup gives us more than enough accuracy in terms of speed control (Contrex specs list accuracy at 0.01% of setpoint and I wouldn’t argue that). Using DC motors, however, does limit our speed range. The DC motors we get from Leeson advertise only a 30:1 constant torque speed range. I might be able to find more expensive DC motors that would give me a bit more than this, but I couldn’t imagine being able to handle any more than 50:1 (correct me if I’m wrong). Anyway, to get a higher speed range, I am considering changing to PowerFlex 700 drives with AC vector duty motors (with encoder feedback). I am trying to figure out how I would have to adapt my control scheme to make this change. Presently, to operate a Contrex in follower mode, I wire two frequency signals to the Contrex. One is the feedback frequency from the (follower) motor that the (follower) Contrex is controlling. The other is an external reference frequency from the master motor that the (follower) Contrex is following. With this wiring in place, configuring the Contrex for follower mode allows me to enter a speed setpoint as a percentage of the master speed. I was wondering if anyone here can tell me if the PF700 has the capability of monitoring both a feedback and a master frequency signal, and if it can be configured in a follower mode that would allow me to enter the setpoint as a percentage of the master speed (rather than having to enter it as a fixed speed). Whether the PF700 has this capability or not, any information or reading material you can point me to that would help me understand the best way to use PowerFlex drives in a master/follower relationship like I describe (even if the implementation is different than the Contrex implementation), will be greatly appreciated. Also, if the PF700 is not the best choice for what I want to do, please recommend a different drive that would be better suited for this application. Thanks in advance, Paul ### Assistant: I'd suggest the PF 750 series; I think the PF753 will do everything you're asking. There's no need to go to the PF755. Yes, you can make the PF slave drive follow the master's frequency with a set-point percentage. You can also add in several different encoder cards to the drive and do true speed control rather than just frequency following. http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/pm/750-pm001_-en-p.pdf \\n


### Human: PowerFlex 700S Phase I versus Phase II control Summary: which should I choose for a new project? (if there is a choice)Hi, After doing a lot of reading and asking many questions here on this forum, I believe the PowerFlex 700S is the drive best suited for my particular web handling application in which I need two drives that will work on 208/240 VAC and that will allow me to configure them in a master/follower arrangement in which the follower drive will monitor feedback from two encoders (one on the follower motor and one on the master motor), and will allow me to control follower motor speed at a ratio of the master motor speed. As I have started to read the PF700S literature in an attempt to pick out the actual catalog numbers that I will want to buy, I see that the PF700S has (at least at one time), come with two varieties of control hardware - Phase I and Phase II. From what I can tell, Phase II seems to be newer and better, and I don't see any reason why I would want to consider Phase I for a brand new project. If anyone can tell me if my understanding of this is correct, or if I am missing something, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance, Paul ### Assistant: Paul, go here: http://raise.rockwellautomation.com/RAConfig/browsecatalog.asp?LID=ABStdProds,Encompass&onKil=http://www.ab.com/raise It's the on-line configurator for most of Rockwell's product line. Go to Drives AB, Architecture Drives, and select PF700S Work from top to bottom. You'll see that there is only phase-II available. Running through the configurator will quickly help you determine exactly what you need; the options self-limit so you do not create an impossible part number. \\n

### Human: PowerFlex 755 , High Starting Current Summary: PowerFlex 755 , High Starting CurrentDear all , The problem description :I have a blower on a powerFlex 755 I have a problem with starting the blower , I did many trials . What happened at the beginning that the frequency of the blower was over shooting , for example the setpoint was 15 Hz and it reached 22 Hz and then it came down to 15 , but the current was high . After trying many trials , what is happening now is that the current is high at starting . It looks like that the blower is running faster than the calculation of the frequency drive . I tried to make the starting time longer or shorter , didn’t help . At the beginning the current go up and down several times and then it reaches a peek and then starts to go down to normal current Does anyone have any idea ? ### Assistant: How is the drive configured? Flux Vector, V/Hz? It sounds like it a PID routine is trying to control the drive. Try putting the drive in V/Hz mode and see what happens when you tell it to start and ramp to a set speed. If it starts in a satisfactory manner in that simple setup, then your PID is trying too hard to control the drive. \\n


### Human: PowerFlex for web handling drives - dynamic brake resistor? Summary: Will I need one?Hi, My company builds web handling equipment that in its simplest form, has an unwind station on one side and a rewind station on the other side. In between the unwind and the rewind, I use two driven rolls to pull the web at a constant speed from the unwind to the rewind. (In between the two driven rolls, the web is subjected to my process). I setup the two driven rolls in a master/follower relationship with one roll following the speed of the other roll. It is very important that the follower matches the speed of the master precisely at all times, otherwise my web will stretch, break, or develop slack that will adversely affect my process. In the past, I have used DC motors with dedicated speed controllers and 4 quadrant regenerative drive boards. I am not 100% sure that the regenerative capability is really necessary for us, but most likely one of our vendors suggested it at some point in time and we just kept doing the same thing. This has always worked for us, but now some of our customers are requesting a wider speed range (on the low end) than what is typically within the realm of DC motors. Anyway, I am planning to make the switch to AC vector drives / motors so that I can get the speed range they want. (I am leaning towards PowerFlex 700S). Anyway, as I have been thinking, reading, asking how to implement my master/follower relationship, I have become aware that I will have to determine whether I will need a dynamic brake resistor, and if so, what size I will need. I started reading document PFLEX-AT001 (PowerFlex Dynamic Braking Resistor Calculator) and got stuck at the point where it says I will need to know my load inertia. I do not know how to calculate this in a web handling application, but my gut feeling tells me that it is probably low because (1) my web speed is very slow - my gearbox/belt reduction is usually such that 1750 motor rpm would equate to no more than 50 feet per minute in web speed (less than 25 rpm for a 8 inch diameter roll) and (2) because my driven rolls are constantly pulling the web against the resistance created by my unwind shaft. My unwind shaft is under tension control (using an electromagnetic brake) so excluding the inertia of the driven rolls itself, the load (my web) is going to lose momentum almost immediately when my driven rolls stop pulling. If my reasoning is correct, I also have the benefit that there are no circumstances in which I would need fast deceleration. All I really need is for when the master drive slows down and/or stops, I need the follower drive to slow down at the same rate. I was just wondering if anyone here has experience with PowerFlex drives in web handling applications similar to mine, and if you have found dynamic braking resistors to be necessary (or useful). Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Paul ### Assistant: You'd be safe with sizing a resistor that is capable of 100% of your motor load, then deciding on a duty cycle. 25% would be a very safe duty cycle; you might be able to go down to 10%. Post Glover is a Rockwell encompass partner; you might give them a call to see if they have some suggestions. \\n

Make sure you are not using a datalink to modify a parameter that cannot be changed (refer to knowledgebase article 62479). Check the connection between the HIM cradle and the main control board.

### Human: Would like to run 1-Powerflex755 drive from two HIM modules, two locations, is this possible Summary: Have a test stand that our engineers want to be able to control from two different locations, can we install a HIM at the drive and one remotely and set them up so they dont interfere with one another ### Assistant: Hi George All powerflex drives can take 2 HIMs, a local and a remote (DPI port 1 and port 2). 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.

### Human: Ultra3000 Velocity Limit I am using a Ultra3000 (2098-DSD-010) in analog position mode. I'm trying to find a way to limit the maximum velocity of the motor. I'm not to concern with following errors or position errors. I just need it to move to a commanded position without going over a maximum velocity. Does anybody know if this is possible? ### Assistant: There is no max velocity setting when the drive is in analog position mode. The speed of the motor will depend on how quickly the analog position reference changes (dV/dt). You can set a user velocity fault speed (in the faults section of Ultraware) but this will simply generate a drive fault when the drive speed exceeds the limit you set. Depending on you application you might be better off using an indexing drive or an integrated motion drive. \\n


### Human: How OEMs and System Integrators earn their fees Summary: They have to know all the different places one has to go in order to upgrade drive firmwareVersion 6.03 for Powerflex 753 is ready for use. One would expect to download the firmware and be good to go. Slow down there, pardner, you're only partway done. Is this drive communicating with a Logix platform? Yes? Well, you need to upload the AOP for drives in Logix. That's a separate download, in a different area of the web update page. Got that installed? Good. Go ahead and change the revision level of your drive to 6.03. Doesn't work? Even though the About Profile information says it covers revisions 1 through 6? Hmmm. OK, go back to the web update site, back to the 753 drive section. There's an AOP update specific to firmware 6.03. Download that. Installed? Good. Can you change the revision level to 6.03? Good. What? The IO card isn't recognized any more? Oh, yeah, You need the AOP update for the 753 option modules too, since the overall AOP didn't work. Go to a third location on the web update page, download the AOP for all the option cards. Install that. Try updating the revision for the drive in Logix now. What? You're getting a database error about DeviceLogix not being found? Hmmm. We'll get back to you. I'm 2-1/2 hours into what should be a 15 minute download / update installation, with 3 (so far) calls to tech support. Rockwell's rollout of drive firmware and supporting logix updates is going VERY smoothly. ISO9000 means nothing; it certifies that your documentation path is sound. It simply means your flawed quality control process is well documented. Where IS the quality control on these software releases? I am One frustrated customer TJ McDermott ### Assistant: TJ, Drive Add-On Profiles (AOP's) for RSLogix 5000 are typically updated with a major new drive or option module release. Each AOP release contains all of the DriveTools databases files that are available at that time and the AOP uses these files so drives can be added and worked on offline. However, drive/option firmware can be updated at any time (independent of an AOP release). When this is done, the DriveTools database files for that release gets posted on the same Web Updates site. If a user wants to use this particular version of firmware, then they will have to download it. The next release of Drive AOP's will contain the new database files. Also note that if you do not have a particular firmware release and you connect to a drive that does, the AOP will automatically create the database file for you. The About Profile can be misleading by only listing the major revision. As subsequent minor revisions of firmware are released after the Drive AOP is released, these databases have to be manually downloaded. There are database files for I/O modules too and this is a separate download . I did not have the v6.03 database files yet with my v4.02 AOPs, so I downloaded them, opened my RSLogix 5000 project and added a PF753 drive. I was able to open DeviceLogix, so I'm not sure what is causing your problem. Please contact LV Drives Tech Support here in our Mequon, WI facility at (262) 512-8176 for assistance. Thank you for providing the feedback and we're sorry for the inconvenience. Offline database management has become a bigger issue with the modular PF750 Series drives. We're planning to simplify the update process by reducing the number of downloads. Actually, the end goal is to provide a fully automated system that will periodically check for new database files, Help files, user manuals, etc. and perform any updates in the background (if configured to do so). This will take some time, so I'll see what we can do to make this more apparent and hopefully simpler in the meantime. Greg Mears Product Manager - Drive Software LV Drives Business \\n


### Human: more curent on PowerFlex 70EC hi all! I've a PowerFlex 70EC for 37 kw motor, with NP 65A, the motor is working in the limit, I wish to try to put 2 amps more, the parameters to change are 42, 47 and 48? thanks ### Assistant: nan \\n


### Human: AB 1336 Plus getting Remote Run to work Summary: Basic Hookup 1336We have an AB1336 Plus with an L4 Card (noencoder) that was surplus. Trying to set it up on a Lapping Machine, can get everything to work fine, but can't get the Start input to work anywhere but on the HIM. What we want to do is to be able to control it from a remote box and not the HIM because where the drive is installed is not in a convenient location. I wired switches to TB3 19-21 for Start and 20-21 for Stop. When on Owner page, I can see bit 0 toggle to 1 for stop, but not for start. am I missing a parameter? Should I be using TB2 CR2? Ideally we would like to be able to Power the Drive, Vary the frequency (which I do have working with remote POT on TB2 1,2,3) Sart the Drive, Stop, then reset it and start again. Thanks Rich ### Assistant: Looking in the manual, Chapter 2 Installation/Wiring - Figure 2.5 shows the states of the parameter Input Mode Looking at the diagram, the default value is a 1 which states that only Stop and Enable have function. To allow the drive to be started with TB3-19 you must be in at least Input Mode 2. I am assuming that the Enable input is wired (TB3-30), and when you change the Input Mode you will have to land a wire on the Aux Input (TB3-24) for the drive to run. It states that the Status of the inputs should still read at the Input Status parameter even if they do not control the drive, if nothing still works when the Input Mode is changed, then I would suspect that the input on the L4 board may have failed. http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/um/1336s-um001_-en-p.pdf \\n


### Human: Does the Motion Database file with MPM-A1653-S is an alternative for MPM-A1653F-S? Dear all, I can not choose the correct Catalog Number MPM-A1653F-S from the Motion Database file [motion_5_14_0.db], for the motor catalog MPM-A1653F-SJ72AA. After I choose the MPM-A1653-S and Turning, Using Motion Director Commands , The Motor running with very big noise, and the position error is more than 10 degree ( 360 Degree per motor resolution ). The same Turning setting for other 17 pieces of MPM-A1652F-S and MPM-A1651F-S. These motors do not have any abnormal noise, and the position error is less than 0.01 degree. Please help me to check how to get the optimal motor data setting. Thanks! ### Assistant: I'm unable to define it is the same motor or not, just to report I've checked the same weirdness in the latest version 18 of RSLogix 5000, that should have the version 6.9.0 of the motor database... :smileysurprised: I suggest to call in Technical Support, they should be able to help you better.... - fuzzy logic \\n


### Human: PowerFlex 525 periodically dropping run command I'm using a PowerFlex 525-EENET with embedded ethernet and revision 1.3. This is being used on a pump that is being constantly turned off and on by a level control. I have added traps in the program to capture every possible reason the pump could be losing run command but it captures nothing. In the program, when the problem is happening, the run command is active, but the output on the VFD is 0. Simply re-sending the run command corrects the problem. I was wondering if anyone else was having this same issue with 525s. ### Assistant: The PowerFlex 525 doesn't have a run command in the logic control word, it only has start and stop (PF525_Drive_Name:O.Start and PF525_Drive_Name:O.Stop). If the PLC sends a 'run' command then it must be doing additional logic to determine how the start and stop bits are controlled when the 'run' bit turns on and off. I would suggest setting up some logic to capture if the stop bit is ever put high when it shouldn't. For instance put an OTL instruction with a dummy tag in series with the drive stop command bit, if the dummy tag ever gets latched high then you know that a stop command was issued at some point and the problem probably lies somewhere in your program. Also, confirm that a stop is not being issued from any of the following sources: Network Stop tag Remote HIM Stop button Dedicated Stop input terminal 01/11 Configured Stop input via DigIn TermBlk SW Enable via DigIn TermBlk Safe Torque Off \\n


### Human: PowerFlex 755 frequency control Hello guys. Since now I have been used two PowerFlex 755 as motion control with 2 axis. Right now, our aplication requires that the 2 PF755 will work as a normal variator frequency control or speed control. How can I configure the drive from LogixDesigner to work as a PowerFlex 525? Right now I have added a new axis and configure the axis as Frequency Cotrol with no feedback configuration. The data type has to be AXIS_CIP_DRIVE? ### Assistant: You'd just like it to operate like a non-motion, regular VFD? You wouldn't add it as an Axis in that case; you can just add the drive under the I/O configuration and it'll automatically create the Feedback and Reference tags for you! \\n


### Human: feedback data loss factory limit kinetix 350 Summary: Fault 45Hi everyone, here's the detail : Kinetix 350 (2097-V33PR3-LM) and a servo motor ### Assistant: http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/rm/motion-rm003_-en-p.pdf Chapter 2, page 253 describes this problem somewhat. It's basically telling you you've got a connection problem or you have noise coming in on the feedback cable. Page 249 says to use a MSG command to get the RA specific exception (to get the fault subcode), page 257 shows how the bits are mapped. Suggestions: Remove the feedback connectors from motor and drive. Inspect each end, inspect the drive pins, motor pins. Look for something wrong with the connector. If there are screw terminations involved, make sure all conductors are properly seated. Make sure you follow Rockwell's grounding practices with regard to drive and motor. If none of that solves the problem, then: Change the cable. Change the motor. \\n


### Human: Powerflex 40 power leak Summary: Voltage creepWe have a Powerflex 40 that appears to continue sending a low voltage to the motor even when stopped, the motor creeps. The display shows no hz being sent to motor. My questions are... is this manageable with a parameter setting? Could the drive be bad? ### Assistant: It may be possible, but probably not. When you say stopped, do you mean you've removed the run command to the drive? Or do you mean you've given it a zero-speed signal but the drive is still being commanded to run? \\n


### Human: PF523 Output Phase Loss Summary: Parameter 557When P557=Disable, the motor is running OK, When P557=Enable, when give the command to the drive the motor can not run ,and the drive generate fault F21 output phase loss So strange!! Could someone give me some advice? Thanks ### Assistant: nan \\n


### Human: Motion Control On Standard toshiba AC drives Summary: is it possible to control a standard ac drive using motion commandsMy goal is to use a compactlogix platform to create a master/slave setup using 2 toshiba G9 drives. Does anyone know if this is possible. i would like to use the motion instructions to control the drives speed outputs. i will be using a multi-turn absolute encoder on each motor the drives control. my thoughts are to use virtual axis in the program and map the output to the drives speed commands. ### Assistant: Compact Analog I/O is pretty slow, this would be my concern with trying to do this. All depends how tight you need the control to be. I've done things like this without using motion instructions, and it all comes down to how much precision you need and how much lag(and error) you can tolerate. What happens if they get out of sync? Is this a vertical application with brakes or horizontal? Or is it material handling? Really hard to give a general answer. \\n


### Human: Kinetix 5500 using POINTIO digital input as home sensor Summary: using digit input as home sensorIs it possible to use a digital input acquired by a POINTIO as homing sensor for Kinetix 5500? (avoiding wiring the home sensor straight into the drive) ### Assistant: There's a couple of options. Jog the axis and execute an MRP (on actual position) when the sensor goes high, followed by an absolute MAM to your home position. The home offset would be accounted for in the position you give the MRP instruction. Set the axis homing for passive-immediate and follow the first option, except use an MAH in place of the MRP. This method will set AxisHomedStatus if you need to use that elsewhere. In either case, the accuracy will be affected by the delay of the sensor input, your code and the coarse update rate, multiplied by the speed at which you're jogging. Jogging as slow as possible would obviously improve that. With a little more code, you can have a faster approach speed followed by slower homing speed which mimics a normal bidirectional active-switch/marker homing method. \\n


### Human: 1336F Drive - start stop & change speed - either local through HIM or remote from PLC I have 6 1336F drives that are going from local HIM control only to Local HIM control OR Remote from a PLC. These are 40Hp drives. I have a 10HP drive on the bench right now for testing purposes. I can start stop with a POt and a switch. The 50HP drives have remote HIM's on the door of the panels. My test one has a built in HIM. I put a Y cable into the drive so I can use the same style HIM and a PC using Drive exec. I can start/stop eith by a switch or by the HIM. I can only control speed with a POT. I want to be able to control speed from either the remote HIM or PLC (4-20mA) I also want to start stop either from the PLC or local. I want to use TB3-28, when a 1, use PLC control when a zero use HIM control. SO??? what param am I missing? Thanks George ### Assistant: I got this part going. Now a different question. When using the PLC, any way to prevent the HIM from Starting it? PLC, I will send 110V to Pins 1 & 28 (Start & Use PLC to control Speed But can I also use an Input to disable the HIM from start control? Thanks George \\n


### Human: PF 755 Fault Code 212 Summary: Intermittent, incorrect fault code 212We've got a couple of PowerFlex 755 drives in completely separate areas, no safety option module installed, but the Safety Jumper is installed. We're getting intermittent, random Fault Code 212 Safety Jmpr Out. So far, the only tech support response we've gotten is noise. Has anyone here seen this problem and possible have a solution to it? Much appreciated. ### Assistant: Maybe something's wrong with the jumper itself? There are two jumpers on the control board, right next to each other - the safety jumper and the hardware enable jumper. Try swapping the two jumpers. If the fault changes from Safety-Jumper-Out to HW-Enable, the jumper is bad. If the problem continues to be the safety jumper out fault, maybe consider changing the control board itself? What firmware is installed on the drives? \\n


### Human: PowerFlex 755 HiP Summary: Codigos de error 49 y 48 en display de 7 segmentos en el interior del power flex 755 HiPTengo un problema con un PowerFlex 755 HiP, los fusibles de entrada antes de la bobina de choque (reactor), se abrieron, despues se volvio a reponer los fusibles, pero al energizar el drive me sale un codigo de error en el display de 7 segmentos de 49. Posteriormente se cambio por otro PowerFlex 755, y ahora sale codigo de error 48 en display de 7 segmentos. que se esta suscitando en estos casos y como podria solucinarlo? gracias por su respuesta.. ### Assistant: 48 is not a fault in the normal sense. It is an entry in the fault log telling you that it was commanded to set its parameters back to default values. 49 is also not a fault in the normal sense. It is an entry in the fault log telling you that the drive went through a power cycle. I hope that Google Translate did a good enough job for you to understand this. 48 no es un fallo en el sentido normal. Es una entrada en el registro de fallos que le dice que se ordenó para establecer sus parámetros con valores por defecto. También 49 no es un fallo en el sentido normal. Es una entrada en el registro de fallos que le dice que la unidad pasó por un ciclo de potencia. Espero que Google Traducir hizo un buen trabajo para que usted entienda esto. \\n


### Human: kinetix 2000 changing (overtravel) pick n place position Summary: The horizontal axis on our automation is changing the set point the robot picks the part up at causing damage on part.How it works is the arm uses two axis horizontal and vertical the robot will pick up parts and place them in a tray. for example At start up the pick position set point would be set at 8.03 and while running the set point changes and it starts picking parts up at the position 8.53. that's .50 off from where it should be. when this change occurs the machine runs until we discover damaged parts. Any info on this matter would help. ### Assistant: Korben, the Kinetix 2000 gets all of its control commands from a Logix processor; it does nothing by itself. To help you, we're going to need a LOT more information. To start, you should share the ACD file from the logix processor so that people here can look at the logic. If you choose to share it with us, you'll need to identify which axis within the program is giving you problems. Is there ANY chance that something mechanical is slipping? You seem to be mixing terms in your problem statement. You talk about the set point position being 8.3, but the pickup position is 8.53. This last number - did you measure it yourself, or did the system HMI display the feedback position as 8.53, or did the position set point actually show as being changed to 8.53? The basic question to ask is: WHAT CHANGED? If the system was running well at some point in the past (yesterday, last week, whatever), but now behaves differently, WHAT CHANGED? Did a drive get replaced? Did a motor get replaced? Did the load the servo moves increase or decrease? If it used to work, and now does not, something changed. \\n


### Human: Kinetix 300 , E14 Fault. Talking to new 1769-L27ERM-QBFC1B CompactLogix Summary: Kinetix 300 Comms problem I have been trying for a while now to get a Kinetix 300 2097-V33PR5 to communicate with a New compactlogix 1769-L27ERM-QBFC1B. I have two of the Kinetix 300's and neither will communicate. Both with the E14 Error. Unfortunately , one is also giving the E07 error as well. It is connected to a TLAR actuator. I have previously setup about 15 of these same drives to communicate with Controllogix L61 processors and they worked fine. (Other than terrible cabling/E07 issues that plagued us for a while) I have of course checked all the obvious things. Ethernet cables, IP Addresses, RSLogix 5000 setup, PLC running fine. PLC just gives the Connecting....., Connection failed when viewing the module. I thought it had something to do with Firmware because the Kinetix are brand new and shipped with Firmware 1.71 which doesnt seem to be listed or available as a download\?? I downgraded them to the avaialble 1.67 and it didnt help. I've even tried going down to 1.50 since thats what I had used in the past. Compactlogix is at 20.01. Any help or ideas would be appreciated. ### Assistant: Call with Tech support rooted out the problem today. Seems that Rslogix5000 V20 has a problem and now and will not communicate with the Servo Drive if the Use Unicast connection over Ethernet I/P box is checked in the Servo module Connection properties. Its checked by default and worked fine in V18/V19.. \\n


### Human: Powerflex 755 with Universal feedback Module with 12V Encoder Summary: Cofigure an encoder with PowerFlex 755 using Universal Feedback Module Dear all, As i am bit new with the encoder. Implementing an application in which, i am using a brake motor with encoder which will give position feedback to Powerflex 755VFD. Can anyone please help me regarding the configuration of this encoder with universal feedback module.? Powerflex 755 is on ethernet with my compact logix controller. I want position feedback in my drive tags shown in controller tags of RSLogix 5000. Encoder terminal is shown in attached picture. Any help in terms of manual or guidance will be highly appreciated. ### Assistant: Would you please give us the manufacturer and part number of your encoder? \\n


### Human: Kinetix 350 Active Homing Summary: MAH ends in ERR 84 - Drive Digital Input Not AssignedI am setting up a new application using older components: ControlLogix 1756-L63 CPU rev 20.11, 1756-EN2T Ethernet/IP card, RSLogix 5000 v20.01, Kinetix 350 rev 1.55. 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? ### Assistant: 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


### Human: Kinetix 300 Step and direction mode Summary: How do you set-up and verify operation?I am trying to set-up an K300 in step and direction mode. Replacing a third party unit that was set-up as a step and direction using an AMCI module. I am looking for information on what exactly is required to make this unit actually run in a step and direction mode. ### Assistant: http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/um/2097-um001_-en-p.pdf Assuming you have the drive completely wired already, you should probably start with chapter 6 on page 126. After that you will probably need to reference Chapter 5 for details on the MotionView software. There are entries in the various chapters for step and direction hookups and configuration. \\n


### Human: 2097-R6 Shunt Resistor Summary: Clarification on 2097-R6 Heat Sink SelectionI have a 2097-R6 shunt resistor I need to install on a 2097-V34PR5-LM Kinetix 350. The installation guide says to use a 7.9 x 7.9 x 0.12 heat sink at 77 degrees F, but it doesn't say much more than that. I don't understand what the 77 degrees F is supposed to tell me. What material can/should be used? Can I use a sheet of aluminum? Should I mount it using thermal paste? Is there anything to consider regarding how the heat sink is mounted to the cabinet other than spacing? If this thing truly can get up to 392 degrees F, I want to make sure I do this right. http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/in/2097-in002_-en-p.pdf Thanks. ### Assistant: I think the 77 degF refers to the ambient temperature. I would mount the resistor to the enclosure and use the metal of the enclosure as the heat sink. If you tighten the screws to the specified torque then you shouldn't need any thermal paste. Monitor the temp of the resistor while the machine is running at max speed (when the resistor is working the hardest) and verify it stays below 392 degF. \\n


### Human: replacing MPL-B430P-RJ22AA with MPL-B430P-RJ72AA Summary: Required HelpCan we replace MPL-B430P-RJ22AA with MPL-B430P-RJ72AA physicaly without modfiying software ### Assistant: Yes, the 7 is for SpeedTec connectors which the software doesn't care about. The 2 was for the bayonet connector, so you'll need new cabling. \\n

### Human: Loading motion programs into an IMC-110 module using ODS and a PIC I have a customer with an older SLC-503 machine that lost memory from the IMC-110 motion module. We have the .amp programs, the old ODS floppy's and a PIC, but it's been fifteen years since I've used ODS. I have some old AB documentation, but it only refers to Windows NT. Will ODS install and run on a modern laptop, in a DOS window within XP? Do you still need to change the Config.sys and Path files, FILES=20 etc? Is RSLinx involved? Does it require a PIC driver to be added? If you understand any of this, you've been at this a long time. Thanks for any help! ### Assistant: First, I've to say I'm not an expert on that ...:smileysurprised: but, just trying to give some help... I've just found a statement about Windows operating systems, as follow: 8100-HS110 ...this software runs on DOS systems only. Windows DOS on 95 and 98 is acceptable. Any infos about XP...:smileysad: Also, for what I can say, RSLinx shouldn't be involved, as you need to use the software in DOS mode... I guess the 8100 software has its driver for the PIC to use... - fuzzy logic \\n


### Human: 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. ### Assistant: 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

### Human: PF 755 syncronized velocity Hello experts. I want to impelement a application with 2 PF755 involved. They are configurated as thw differenet axes in the same Motion Group as Position Loop. The first drive moves at a certain velocity using the JOG command, and I want that the second drive to move at the same velocity as the first one. They have differnent gear reduction, so I was thinking of using the MAG instruction. It wil be ok? ### Assistant: That is exactly what the MAG instruction is for. You'll need to configure your axes properly - the configuration is where you would enter the gear ratios (though they are not called that precisely). Spend time reviewing the programming manuals for CIP motion to understand the axis configuration. \\n


### Human: Motor Starter and Timer Summary: Looking for help wiring a motor starterHey guys, I am looking for some help wiring a motor starter with a timing relay in the control circuit. I attached a sketch of what I think will achieve my purpose: using a start button to turn on a motor for 10 seconds, and then turning off automatically, with a stop button as a failsafe. My questions are more on the wiring end. If I am pulling 34 F.L. amps through the contactor, I should use heavier gauge wire. I am assuming I can use smaller wire for the controls circuit, but how much smaller? What type of current will the control circuit see? What are the standards for wire colors (as well as colors of hot wires at full voltage vs. hot wires that aren't)? I appreciate any help. Thanks, Zach ### Assistant: You're using line voltage for your control circuit? Which diagram should we be looking at? The top one showing a 3-phase motor, or the bottom one showing a 1-phase motor? What IS your line voltage? \\n


### Human: 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! ### Assistant: 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

### Human: Kinetix drivers Summary: Load the parameters setting automatically from PLC programHello, 1-Is it possible to load the parameters setting automatically for Kinetix 300 using RS Logix 5000 ? If this possible,explain how to do it? 2-For the Kintix drivers which the parameters loaded automatically from PLC program,when replace the driver with another,it should use another one with the same type or it possible to use any equivalent one? Best regards......... ### Assistant: 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


### Human: Folder Button on 20-HIM-A6 Summary: Accessing the Folder Button on 20-HIM-A6 causes my PowerFlex 753 Drive to StopWe were doing a startup on a new PowerFlex 753 with imbedded Ethernet/IP when while accessing parameters via the Folder button the drive ramped down and shut off. We started the drive back up and tried to replicate the behavior and the drive ramped down and shut off again while browsing parameters via the folder button. Has anybody else experienced this anomaly and is there any way to disable it? This is not a good feature... ### Assistant: Hmmm... never seen... try to contact TechSupport for this issue. Did you have the chance to test another HIM? It could be defective... - fuzzy logic In order to enhance the reputation of the Forum's contributors, please rate the replies you got and remember to close the thread clicking Choose as Best Answer button over the solving answer.

### Human: Kinetix 5500 and safety PLC I have a Kinetix5500 to control a press system. Limit switches (overtravel) are connected via safety input card on a POINT IO (they are not hardwired to the drive). How can I perform a safe stop of the motor in the safety PLC when these overtravel sensors are reached? thank you ### Assistant: The K5500 does not take safety commands over Ethernet/IP; it has a safe-torque-off input which disables the drive. I think you would have to receive the limit switches in the safety task, pass the limit switch state over to the regular PLC task. While the regular PLC task performs a controlled stop, the safety task would time-delay before opening the safe-torque-off circuit of the drive to disable it. I think the amount of information you can pass between safety and regular tasks is somewhat constrained. \\n


### Human: PF753 Overcurrent Issue Summary: 40HP PF753 will only ramp to approx 20Hz then decel's back to 5Hz and tries again480VAC 40HP PF753 on ENETR will only ramp to approx 20Hz as the current draw approaches 90A then decelerates back down to 2 or 3 Hz and attempts to accelerate again, but current draws near 90A again. This continues over and over until I shut the drive off in fear of damaging the motor or the equipment. I can turn the motor shaft with a large monkey wrench (and some help), so I do not think it is bound up. Has anyone seem this before? ### Assistant: Yes. Are you sure the velocity command is correctly configured in the datalinks of your plc program as well as in the drive itself? Is the drive properly configured to take its speed reference from the network? \\n
