### Human: PF70 460 volt drive to 230 volt motor I have a 230 volt motor rated at 8.2 FLA. I also have a PF70 460 volt drive rated at 11 amps (20BD011XXXXXXX) I am using this drive to power the 230 volt motor. I will change par 0554 Max voltage to 230 to accomplish this. Do i need to size the 460 volt drive to the FLA of the 230 Volt motor which is 8.2 A or do i need to resize the 460 volt drive to a 20BD022 that can supply 22 A FLA? Space size and purchase dictates the use of this drive arrangement and the option not use a step down xfrmr. ### Assistant: The motor must have insulation required to run on 460V. If it is only a 230V motor, it's insulation may break down when using it on a drive like that. Even though the drive has a 230V paramter it still outputs 650V dc when it is controlling any motor attached assuming that the input to the drive is 460V. \\n

### Human: powerflex 700 Summary: overcurrent error When I try to start the drive the following message appear ot the HIM Hardware overcurrent error - F12. Before that I replaced the IGBT Module and ungrade the firmware with the latest revision. What is your advice in this case ? Ivan Koychev ### Assistant: Ivan, here below some notes taken from an old post about 700H drive and F12: A F12 fault indicates an instantaneous spike in application current in excess of 250% of drive rated current. Similar to a short on the output. F12's can be caused by several events all being current related.Typically this can be corrected with proper drive tuning if in Sensorless Vector mode or you can also try Custom V/hz mode if tuning and accel time increase dont work. The Motor control selection settings (P53) can also be set to option 2 for Custom V/HZ and P69 and 70 are used to re-establish your V/Hz curve. These are just common recommendations. To be more helpful I would need more info such as application, cabling type and distance, parameter settings , Motor data, when event occurs during process etc. For now I would try to lengthen the Accel time first if not successful then switch motor control mode to option 2 and adjust P69 in increments of .5 until issue is resolved. Also make sure you re verify the motor Data P40-49 Also, take a look to Aid 38940 - Fault F12 - Instantaneous Output Overcurrent - fuzzy logic Please remember to Rate the Comments( ) to enhance the reputation of the User who provided help,or close your Topic using the ( ) button over the answer that solved it.

### Human: 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 ### Assistant: 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. Please check first if the Integral Limits parameter is active, then post again, with possibly more details about your configuration and motor. - fuzzy logic Please remember to Rate the Comments( ) to enhance the reputation of the User who provided help,or close your Topic using the ( ) button over the answer that solved it.

### Human: Usage of Drive Logic Command Bits over comm link? Hi, I am going to be using a PowerFlex 70 Enhanced Control drive for the first time. I ordered this with a 20-COMM-E Ethernet/IP to DPI Comm Adaptor. I will be using a ControlLogix PLC with a 1756-ENBT Ethernet/IP module. I'd like this CLX PLC to be completely in control of the drive - I want the CLX to issue all start / stop commands and to send the speed reference (setpoint) over Ethernet/IP. I also want the CLX PLC to be able to read the actual speed over Ethernet/IP. I am looking at the 20-COMM-E Ethernet/IP Adapter User Manual. Chapter 5 Using the I/O (page 5-11 figure 5-3 to be exact) shows an example ladder logic program that uses the Add-On Profile for to manipulate the drive logic command bits (Start / Stop / etc) in the drive. What I don't see here is an explanation of the proper usage of these bits. For example, I am guessing that Start/Stop logic would work like this: In order for the drive to be able to run, you have to keep the _Stop bit energized at all times. When the _Stop bit is energized, momentarily energizing the _Start bit will start the drive. While the drive is running, momentarily de-energizing the _Stop bit will stop the drive. ...I think this is probably how these bits work, but can anyone tell me if there is anything I should read that explains the proper usage of not only the _Start and _Stop bits, but also the less obvious logic command bits such as _LocalContrl, _SpeedRefID0, _SpeedRefID1, _SpeedRefID2, _MOPInc, _MOPDec. Do these bits function exactly as if you had configured a physical digital input (Digital Input 1-6) for the corresponding function of the bit? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance,Paul ### Assistant: Hi Paul, your assumptions aren't correct... :smileysurprised: The following is reguarding the Stop bit (bit 0) inside the Logic/Command word: A “0 = Not Stop” condition (logic 0) must first be present before a “1 = Start” condition on bit 1 will start the drive.The Start command acts as a momentary Start command. A “1” will start the drive, but returning to “0” will not stop the drive.In order to Stop the drive you'll need a logic 1 inside bit 0 of Logic/Command word. I suggest to review App.D of the Adapter User Manual to understand the Logic/Command word bits and how operate them; the same for the Status word. Feel free to post again if something still unclear. - fuzzy logic \\n


### Human: Powerflex 700 PTC using Siemens 1PH7 motor I am using a Powerflex 700 to control a Siemens 1PH7 motor. The 1PH7 has a KTY 84 thermistor PTC. According to the Powerflex 700 user manual the HW PTC input (terminals 10 and 23) are for a 1.8k ohm PTC sensor. The Siemens documentation shows the KTY 84 is a resistance vs. temperature curve starting at 500 ohm at 0 C and going to 2.6k ohm at 300 C.The KTY 84 PTC will read 1.8k ohm at approx. 200 C. Does the Powerflex drive PTC input match the characteristics of the KTY 84 sensor? I can't find any information on the PTC input in the usermanual as far as when it alarms, faults, etc... ### Assistant: Here from the User Manual: The PTC is connected to either the dedicated PTC input (PF700VC only) or Analog input 1 along with a pull-up resistor of 3.32k ohms Operation is the same for both modes. Here from the Reference Manual: Alarm Operation An alarm will occur when the PTC resistance increases above 3230 ohms (5V DC), but must decrease below 2153 ohms (4Vdc) for the alarm condition to clear. Fault Operation A fault will occur when the PTC resistance increases above 3230 ohms (5V DC), and must be cleared (reset) by a fault clear command, after the resistance has decreased below 3230 ohms (5V DC). The drive will also fault if the PTC voltage drops below 0.2V DC, indicating a shorted PTC. See also Aid 29443. - fuzzy logic \\n

### Human: 1336 over temp Hello all,I do not have much experience with this series drive, thought I would see if there were similar experiences out there. The drive is a 1336 PLUS II 1336F-B040. The drive overheats when the amps are over 27amp for more than 10 min. The drive is located in an MCC section on the second floor of our warehouse. The temperature varies and the environment is very dusty. This VFD is used for a crusher. While the environment is not perfect, the drive has functioned for several years before we started having this problem. Thanks a bunch ### Assistant: Hi, this fault comes when heat sink temperature exceeds a predefined value of 90° C Your drive is rated for nominal current higher then the one you have, so you have to check other things... Check for blocked or dirty heat sink fins. Check that the ambient temperature has not exceeded 40° C (104° F). Check fan. Maybe the dust has made some problems there.... take also a look to the User Manual App. A to see the derating curves of this drive. Hope this helps… - fuzzy logic \\n

### Human: VFD DRIVE GV3000 /SE 230 - Analog Input Speed Control Issue I'm having problem with the speed control signal to the VFD drive Modle GV3000 / SE 230. It is an old model probably 12 to 13 years old. Orginally, a 0 to 20mA signal was used to control the speed of the motor through this VFD. But today the drive was not following the remote speed control signal, it just ran at minimum speed. Checked the parameters and jumper J4 and look correct. When a maximum signal is given i.e. 20mA the drive goes to the minimum speed (set by parmater P0003) and when a minimum signal is given the drive increase the frequency up to 15Hz (max speed is set at 60Hz). Re-wired the drive so a speed control signal from 0 to 10VDC volts was used as I thought the 4-20mA analog input signal receiver of the drive went bad. Jumper J4 was moved to pin 2-3 and the paramter P-0011 was changed to 2 (0 - 10 VDC). Still the same problem. When I increased the maxium speed paramter to a higher value, the drive will increase the speed accordingly when a minimum speed control signal is given. For example Speed Signal VFD Drive Speed Output In Hertz Max Speed In Hz set by P004 0 VDC 15 600 VDC 30 90 I would appreciate your feedback if you have ever encountered such a problem and were able to fix it.

### Human: x y linear coordinated axis Summary: What commands to use I have an application that consist of an x y linear gantry. The application uses two linear cylinders by toolomatic. The linear cylinders are driven by small mpl motor and controlled by Kinetix 6000 servo system and a logix 5000 L61 processor. The x y coordinate system is to drive a series of non linear points for a glue profile. I thought that setting up a cam profile would be the way to go, but it is not working very well. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to set something like this up. ### Assistant: Good evening EPE_DS. What you're looking for in RS5000 is the MOTION COORDINATED tab in the language element toolbar (the one where all the ladder commands are). That tab has the commands: MCS Motion Coordinated Stop MCLM Motion Coordinated Linear Move MCCM Motion Coordinated Circular Move MCCD Motion Coordinated Change Dynamics MCSD Motion Coordinated ShutDown MCSR Motion Coordinated Shutdown Reset Before you get to use these commands, you'll have to create a tag of type COORDINATE_SYSTEM.

### Human: PF70 EC / PF700 VC DriveStatus_AtSpeed bit Hi, I am using a PF700 VC drive and two PF70 EC drives. In my ControlLogix PLC, I am communicating with these drives over Ethernet/IP via 20-COMM-E modules. In my logic, I'd like to make use of the DriveStatus_AtSpeed bit in each of these drives. I am finding that this DriveStatus_AtSpeed bit is constantly turning on and off, even though my speed is well within the range of what I would consider At Speed. Can anyone tell me if there is a parameter in these drives that I can adjust to make this DriveStatus_AtSpeed bit a little more forgiving? Thanks in advance, Paul ### Assistant: Paul, If the drive is operating in Speed Control Mode (Velocity Regulator), the _At Speed bit should not turn on and off when the drive is running! The Speed Regulation Control Loop's ONLY duty is to keep the drive running at the commanded frequency! If the drive is operating in Torque Control Mode(Torque Regulator), the situation you describe is normal since the Torque Regulation feature of the VFD reduces/increases the operating frequency in order to maintain constant Commanded Torque. The third scenario (probably the one your application applies within) uses a combination of the two above mentioned modes. You could call it Speed Limited Adjustable Torque operation. The drive will automatically switch from speed to torque mode (or from torque to speed) based on the dynamics of the motor/load. If this is true, you could try using the _Active bit of the Logix5000 Status Word (instead of _AtSpeed bit-which would turn on/off when the drive is running in Torque Regulation) in order to monitor the operating status of the VFD. The _Active bit will become true when the drive is started up and will remain on until a Stop command has been issued. \\n

### Human: Using MOP for speed control Summary: Functionality of MOP in PF 700VCGreetings all, Has anyone who has used the MOP speed reference in a PF700VC noticed that it overrides the programmed speed reference of the Jog? I help a customer set up a drive app the other day, migrating from a 1336S to the PF700VC and when we went to set up the Jog, it didn't respond to the programmed speed reference. But, when we set the drive up to match the original setup it worked great. The original set up had a jumper into the Run Forward (2-Wire setup) and a preset speed. The jumpered portion was wire directly to the terminal, so when the button was released it would release the command. The confusing part is why did the MOP reference override the Jog frequency?

### Human: 1756-M02AS Axis Feedback Problems We have a control logix system, using version 13.04. We have a MTS temposonic linear probe that we have connected to a 1756-M02AS card and using feedback only for a display of the position. This works great until the power is removed from the control logix rack for whatever reason, whether it be power outage or turning the power off. When the power is removed and then turned back on we have to cycle the power that goes to the MTS temposonic probe, after we do this it works great again. The part number on this MTS probe is RPM0420UD701S1B6102. We have other MTS probes in use on other machines and don't have this problem. I have contact AB with this problem and they tell me it is a problem with the MTS probe and I need to contact MTS.

### Human: Speed Regulation Mode Summary: Speed Regulation Mode in laymans termCan some explain in laymans term on this explanation by A-B. I can't get a good grasp on this. Speed Regulation Mode In a speed regulated application, the torque reference is generated by the speed regulator output. Note that under steady state conditions the speed feedback is steady while the torque reference is a constantly adjusting signal. This is required to maintain the desired speed. At transient state, the torque reference will change dramatically to compensate for a speed change. A short duration change in speed is the result of increasing or decreasing the load very rapidly. TY.. ### Assistant: Selecting speed regulation mode means you want to maintain whatever speed you set. In order to maintain speed, torque will fluctuate as necessary to hold your set speed. The opposite is true if you select torque regulation mode. To maintain a constant torque, the speed will fluctuate as necessary to hold your set torque. \\n

### Human: 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 ### Assistant: 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

### Human: PF700S I am looking for example programs for the PF700s drive. This application is speed matching two machine sections using two PF 700s 7.5 hp drives with synchlink. The application is a bottling machine with a filler section and a sealer (capper) section, the two sections are not physically connected and they have separate motors and encoder feedback. I want to use one drive (filler) as the master with two encoder boards installed one feedback from each section motor encoder and slave the sealer thru synchlink. ### Assistant: Hello, An application engineer has provided this DOC file that might help \\n


### Human: Baud rate for 20-750-CNETC connected to PF753 Hi, In some manuals, I see the communication specification attached below. So,if a 20-750-CNETC option connected to PF753 DPI port is selected for ControlNet communication, I can only get the maxium baud rate is 500K, but not 5M max.? Is it right? ### Assistant: On the Network side, the protocol is ControlNet, which only runs at 5 Mb/s. On the Drive side, the protocol is DPI and the data rate is 500 kb/s. Don't think of every bit on the Network corresponding with every bit on the Drive; ControlNet supports 99 nodes and hundreds of meters of cable and a wide variety of devices, while DPI is a tiny network that runs a few inches of ribbon cable between the drive, the HIM module, and the 20-Comm-X. In general I estimate a 10 millisecond delay between a packet arriving at the 20-COMMx and the drive taking action on the command in that packet. I know the 750 series are faster than the 700 series and you can ask RA for specifics, but that rule of thumb has always proved good enough for me. \\n


### Human: Powerflex 700 fault 121 I am experienceing this fault and did a search of the forum and found this, but it was left unresolved. http://forums.rockwellautomation.com/t5/forums/forumtopicpage/board-id/Drives/message-id/2212 . I was wanting to see if anyone has found a resolution to this fault. I have replaced all components in the VFD, then replaced the VFD. I am still getting the fault occasionally. Any ideas on what to check next? ### Assistant: We went into the VFD bucket, MCC and also the motor and tightened all of the ground connections. This seems to have fixed it. \\n


### Human: PowerFlex40 Regenerative Load Summary: What (if any) is the regenerative load passed to the incoming AC LineMy application is powered using a generator. The end user is concerned that the drive will pass the regenerative load back to the generator causing problems with the generator's voltage regulator. The equipment is Powerflex40 with line reactor and external dynamic brake. (There are three motors which are all set up the same (motors are 1.5 HP (2) and 1.0 HP (1)). What is the regenerative load that could be passed back to the generator and (if present) how can it be limited? ### Assistant: The front end of the PF40 drive is diode so there is no way to get the regen back onto the line. The bigger problem with running a drive on a generator is the non-linear load. The drive does not draw current from the source through the entire sinewave of the incoming voltage. This causes voltage and current distortion. Basically it comes down to the generator needs to be oversized for the load. What is the load that it will have regen? This drive will handle some regen, but it is not the best drive for a lot of regen. It can have problems with bus regulation. \\n

### Human: PF 400 tripping in Undervoltage Fault Summary: Fault Code 4In our Plant Cooler section we have 13 nos. PF 400 Drives ( Cat No. 22C-D260A103 132 KW MFD 2007 JUL 30 China). Out of them 3 Drives are often (After 2-3 day’s) tripping in UNDER VOLTAGE FAULT F4. After every fault i have checked Advance Display Parameter d326 Fault Bus Voltage which was 560-580 VDC (Normal) I have enabled Flying Start & Bus regulation parameter but problem not rectified. Any Suggestion PLZ ? ### Assistant: Are there any line reactors installed with the drives? With this many large drives together there's a good chance the harmonics cresated could be causing DC bus ripple, which the drive could interpret as an undervoltage condition. Cheers \\n

### Human: 20 COMM D FW VERSION Summary: ERRORS WHEN CHANGING 20 COMM D MODULE WITH DIFFERENT FIRMWARE ### Assistant: I'm getting some faults related to PORT 5 adapter on a PF70 with device net adapter 20 COMM D, so after troubleshooting it I decided to change 20 COMM D comms adapter, the one that is installed is a 20 COMM D FW VER 1.007 Ser B and I have a new one FW VER 2.001 Ser B, after installing the new one and downloading the config to it a new fault rise and I wasn't able to clear it, the fault was related to config parameters. When I downloaded the config to this new adapter the HIM asked me for confirmation telling that this was a different version to that I hited the enter button accepting the warning. Then after a cuple os seconds of resetting everything the fault appeared. I put again the old module with no faults. Do I need to have the same FW version to replace the 20 COMM D module? Any help will be must welcome. \\n


### Human: Kinetix 300 Standalone Summary: Using Kinetix 300 with two Anorad linear actuators.Hi I'm quite new to this kind of automation components and is therefore seeking a little help. I'm working on a project where I'm supposed to control numerous actuating parts, where one is a Kinetix 300 servo drive controlling two Anorad linear actuators. The actuators are two function as a XY-table in robot cell. I've not received any components yet, so all I have to go on are the datasheets available online. The entire system will be controlled from LabVIEW, which brings me to my problem. I want to control the Kinetix 300 drive with TCP/IP, but I can't find out what I'm supposed to send to it. The examples I've seen require me to have a MicroLogix 1400 controller and some other components, but I am only to receive a Kinetix 300 and two Anorads linears actuators built into a XY-table. As far as I can work out I need to run the preinstalled software for the servo drive to recognize the actuators and their current load. Once it is set up I want to control the XY-table by sending simple commands to the Kinetix 300 drive. Does anybody have any experience with this? In essence what I want to do is to control both position and speed of the XY-table, by simple commands depending on the rest of the system. Best Regards Kristoffer M.Sc. ### Assistant: Kristoffer, I may be missing something, but I think you have a problem with a single K300 and two actuators. Do you plan to use a contactor to switch from one actuator to the other? The K300 typically controls a single servo motor. In the configuration you describe (xy table), you would need a K300 for each actuator. Yes, you would initially run the software built into the K300 (a java app that downloads to your computer automatically when you access the drive with a web browser of proper vintage). The drive communicates using Ethernet/IP, which is not the same thing as TCP/IP. You're correct, it is geared towards communicating via Ethernet/IP with a Contrologix or Micrologix platform. It CAN stand alone if you wish to issue descrete move commands through its digital IO (binary coding the inputs to select various indexes). That does not sound like it will work if you wish an XY table though. \\n

Please take a look to User Manual chapter 1, you will find informations and wiring examples for either internal or external power source. \\n


### Human: PowerFlex 750 as CIP drives Summary: Using Powerflex 750 drives as CIP Integrated motion drives Has anyone had any experience using a 755 drive, 20-750-UFB-1 card and a SSI encoder? I cannot get the Logix PLC to configure the drive in a usable way. ### Assistant: I have! I have! Getting the settings right required several calls to Tech Support. We had some weirdness occur with getting the drive to configure, I think having to do with one person trying to configure the drive on the network while another was upgrading the firmware on a bunch of Armorblock IO modules. Bad combination; the drive could not handle the RS-WHO calls (40,000 per second, or some such nonsense), and would CIP-SYNC fault. Rockwell has since released a firmware upgrade to fix that. There was much confusion too because Rockwell documentation talks about Channel A and B in the Logix5000 IO tree, but X & Y for the UFB card. It DOES work, but you'll have to give more details for me to be of useful help. \\n


### Human: Can't enable PowerFlex700 Summary: Drive Not enabledBlinking yellow STS (status). On HIM - Not Enabled.

ABB hardware includes EMI filters within their latest generation ACS800 AC drives. \\n


### Human: PowerFlex 70 Simulation Can I simulate a PowerFlex 70 Drive using RSEmulator or SoftLogix and download my program and do the necessary PowerFlex 70 configurations etc. ### Assistant: roomi, unfortunately this kind of emulation isn't available. :smileysad: You need to be connected to a real Drive in order to test its configuration... Anyway, either you may use Premier Drive Integration in RS5000 to create an offline configuration of a Powerflex, to download later (if your drive is connected via Ethernet/IP or Cnet), or you may use Drive Executive Software (also for offline settings of PF).

### Human: Self Sensing - Ultra5000 Hello, I have an Ultra5000 drive (2098-IPD-20) and I need it to drive a Moog AC servo motor. The Moog had a resolver so we put a quadrature encoder instead (A+, A-, B+,B-, I+,I-) and wanted to use the self sensing ability of the Ultra500 to automatically determine the commutation. No matter what I define in the drive I keep getting error 39. The motor STARTS rotating and after a couple of seconds it faults out putting error 39. I really don't know what's the problem....? The motor parameters are properly defined and I do see in the Ultraware the encoder counting when I rotate the shaft manually. Any ideas? Thanks,Dan ### Assistant: Anybody? Dan \\n

### Human: 160 ssc program lock I have several 160 ssc drives that have program lock parameter 57 set to 1 [locked] and when I try to set to 0 [unlock] nothing changes . this happens on all 4 units. I must be doing something wrong. Is there another way to reset program lock ? 2 of the units have s02 option changes par 57 = 000/999/000 [ min/max/default] locked at 1 others are par 57 = 0/1/0 locked at 1 these units are new in box, but from reseller . they work but with the locked parameters. thanks for any help. ### Assistant: As far as I can see from manuals, the only (and easy) way to reset it is to set the parameter to 0. Different situation for the drives with S02 option, where an integer data is needed as password. Program Lock Password The S02 option provides a program lock feature with a three digit integer (standard lock feature uses a single digit). All program group parameters will be locked unless the correct integer is entered in P57 - [Program Lock]. This parameter value will re-initialize to “000” or relock whenever power is cycled. The program unlock will also be required when using communication modules after the power is cycled. - fuzzy logic \\n

### Human: Powerflex 70 EC Change Parameter 80 via Devicenet? Summary: Is it possible to Change Parameter 80 open loop to encoder via devicenet? I am trying to change parameter 80 feedback select to select open loop if the encoder failed. Im attempting to do this over a datalink. My data link is working however I cannot change the feed back type. I need this for a backup. ### Assistant: If you're sure the datalink is working fine (i.e. if writing to another parameter works), then it is probably due to some conditions needed in order to have this parameter changed (other related parameters, status of the drive...) try first to do the same operation through an HIM, and see if it works; then try the procedure in the same way through the Devicenet. - fuzzy logic \\n


### Human: Kinetix 300 Estop Condition I have a Kinetix 300 and a MPL motor. I am connected to the drive via a Micrologix 1400. My problem is that once I resume from an Estop condition, I want to be able to push a button and have the drive go to a fixed position. However, the drive wants to continue to run the 1st index. After multiple attempts to abort the index via messaging, it still wants to run the 1st index. Even if the servo is running the 2nd index when the Estop is pressed, it wants to return and run the first index. Has anyone been able to find a way around this? I would love to be able to just push a button and have the drive go to a fixed position. ### Assistant: nan \\n

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

### Human: Harmonic Filter with PowerFlex700 drives Summary: Use one Harmonic Filter with multiple PowerFlex700 drives Hello dears, I am designing a RO system which we are using almost 15 PF700 drives (11KW=10 and 5.5KW=5) in same MCC room. I want to use single Harmonic filter (Low Pass) with all VFDs. My two questions as below 1- Harmonic filter for the PF700 required or not required to meet the IEEE-519 standard (according to the IEEE-519 it should be 5-8%)? 2- One Harmonic filter with 15 VFDs is workable or not? Please advice accordingly. ### Assistant: You need to use an Active harmonic filter for multiple drives, remember to also use a input choke on each drive. This will reduce the active filter size. A complete harmonic analysis is required to size the unit. You need the KVA / fault rating and impedance of the supply transformer, cable lengths and the amount of linear load on the same feeder. Here is a link to a calculator tool http://webdc.transim.com/rockwell/ If all the drives are operating at the same time then just add the kw's as one large drive \\n

Would a SMC soft starter be able to handle this frequent start/stop application? ### Assistant: I have used a freq drive for similar applications. I would consider using a fan cooled inverter duty motor. Have an application where we are starting and stopping a 2hp motor 30 to 40 times a minute, been running 6 years. \\n


### Human: Error E30 on Kinetix 6000 servodrive Summary: Kinetix 6000 module constantly showing E30 error code Hi! We have in our facilities a servo system with 3 kinetix 6000 15amps modules and 1 4amps module. The 4amps module (2094-BMP5-S) is being giving us the E30 error code and therefore we cannot run the rest of the machine (is a pressing machine). This module controls an AB ServoMotor MPL-B310P-MK22A part no. 7031-05-4201 series A. We have tried changing the feedback cables but it is still not responding, we even tried with a 4amps module we have in stock but nothing. The motor turns free and the rest of the components this motor drives are OK. Besides the feedback cables and the servodrive, what else can we check to try to restart this machine? There is something else we can do? Thank you very much! ### Assistant: Error E30 is, and I quote, MotFeedbackFault (Motor Feedback Comm): Communication was not established with an intelligent encoder. It seems QUITE obvious that your encoder is not intelligent; it's a stupid encoder. Seriously; about five years ago Rockwell had a batch of bad feedback cables for K6K drives/MPL motors.

### Human: Screen saver on HMI of Powerflex 70 / 700 Summary: Can we setup Screen saver on HMI of Powerflex 70 / 700? The HMI of Powerflex 70 / 700 happens to be in the MCC room & the display is continuously ON, for months together. HMI is seldom used once the setup is done & the respective machines are running normally. The backlit display goes off at times or display screen becomes dim, may be due to continuously powered ON. Can we setup Screen saver on HMI of Powerflex 70 / 700 like on our PC so that the display will be OFF if the HMI is not used for set time & comes ON when we start using it.? ### Assistant: nan \\n

### Human: Powerflex 755 Speed Synch I have an application in which two motor speeds need to be synchronized under varying loads. One motor is a 30HP and the other is 10HP. The 30HP is the master and carries the bulk of the load. The 10HP should run at the same speed as the master to assist with load. Each motor has a 1024ppr encoder on the shaft. The application could be described as a conveyor with a motor on the head and tail pullys. If the speed is not sych'ed the belt either bunches up or stretches. I think gearing would be the best solution in this case? If I wire each encoder to it's drive for closed loop vector control, do I need a splitter to send the master signal to the slave? Can the master signal be wired to two drives without splitter device? It would be really neat if that connection (feedback) could be done over EIP? ### Assistant: If you do Ethernet/IP connections from PLC to drives, and your PLC is a controllogix, and your ethernet adapter for controllogix is an EN2TR or EN3TR, then you can do CIP motion and easily do what you're looking for (right, lots of ifs there). I have CIP motion in one application, but have been struggling with unexplained faults that reqiure drive-power cycling to clear. I'm not totally prepared to endorse CIP motion, but it's close. \\n


### Human: Powerflex 700 memory loss Summary: looses settings when power is lostPowerflex 700 looses all of its settings when power is lost.

### Human: Multi Motor application with Powerflex 755 In our standard application we normaly use a 45kW drive for 6 or 7 5.5kW Motors. Now we have a application with 18 1.8kW Motors (--> 32.4kW)We want to use also a 45kW Drive and standard 5% Output Line reactor (1321-3Rxx)Cable length per Motor is maximum 10 Meters. You think it could cause a problem to connect so many motors on one drive? ### Assistant: As long as your motors are all the same, you shouldn't have any problems provided they don't exceed the rating of the drive. In a textile plant that made nylon fibers, we had plug panels that were fed from different inverters. Each plug panel served 32 motors. If a particular recipe called for a certain speed on the winders, we would just plug the winders into the appropriate plug panel from the inverter running that specific frequency and turned it on. We only had 4 frequencies the motor ran at anyway which made it possible to run multiple products from one spinning application. \\n


### Human: CIP Motion and PF755 Summary: How many here have encountered problems with CIP Motion and PF755I've a persistant, sporadic, irritating problem with two PF755 drives running under CIP motion. Tech Support is working the problem but have not yet found a conclusive problem. I've already contacted Vong and dwalserams about their problem posted here: http://forums.rockwellautomation.com/posts/8242c929e2 I am VERY interested in talking with anyone else who encounters problems with PF755 drives running under CIP Motion. Please feel free to respond here, or call if you wish. Sincerely, TJ McDermott Systems Interface 425-750-1629 (Pacific Time Zone) ### Assistant: Update: Rockwell sent a specialist to collect data on this problem. Luckily, the anomaly manifested while he was on site. Testing required a special, temporary firmware be installed in the two drives. This firmware provided access to additional parameters, one of which was the number of communication buffers in use in the drive. This buffer count is supposed to be zero, occasionally rising as low priority communication is deferred until the drive can handle them. We discovered that the buffer count will sometimes not go back to zero. Hitting the drive with web page accesses can really spike the count, but it eventually drops back down. Some sort of message from the network gets stuck in the buffer and doesn't get out. The count increases, until it gets close to 50. Upon reaching 50, the drive stops communicating via Linx. Cycling power to the drive resets the buffer count. So, we now know WHAT is happening, but not WHY. Regardless, the PF755 in CIP motion has a firmware problem that must be fixed; some message is getting stuck in the buffer and prevents anything that went in previous to it from getting back out of the buffer. Or, the buffer index is being messed up. Whatever, the drive doesn't handle all messages properly. The brute-force fix we're going to implement in the mean time is to add an additional 1756-EN2TR module to communicate directly to the two drives in this system. I know there are other PF755 CIP motion problems; it does feel like the 755 is a bit fragile compared to the Kinetix 6500 in CIP motion. Has anyone else had problems with PF755 in CIP motion? Any problem at all? \\n


### Human: CIP Module Fault - 755/53 & EN3TR Getting random module sync faults that can only be reset by completely powering down the drive. Only thing on the EN3TR network is drives and an HMI.

### Human: 1398-PDM-75 + F-6100 motor bad problem at aux. circuits reset (rare but happening) Summary: 1398-PDM-75 sometimes makes F-6100 motor running away at auxiliary circuits resetI've done many applications since 1998 with 1398-PDM-75 + F-6100 brushless motors. Never had big issues except in an application where, in the last year is starting to happen that sometimes with no evident reason, just after auxiliary circuits reset the brushless axis runs away for a while that it stops with no drive error and everything ready. No errors logged inside the Ultra drive. Everything appears normal. Sw is standard and I've done many. Even changing 1398-PDM-75 with another one generates same reasults. Same after have changed F-6100 motor. Changed contactor, filter, encoder cable with no results. Of course, all hardwar checks have benn done and re-done more times withous find any probs. Firmware used in 1398 is 3.23 as is in at least other 30 application I've developed during last 13/14 years with this exact product. It's a rare event but it continues to happen only on that particular mahcine. Any idea or suggestion is very well appreciated ### Assistant: nan \\n

### Human: Ultra 100 I replaced a Ultra 100 drive (firmware 1.36) with another Ultra 100 drive (firmware 1.37) and keep getting a e-stop condition on the Sercos motion control card in the slc500. Put the old drive back in and the fault went away. Question...do the firmware versions have to be the same? I downloaded all the parameters from the old drive to the new drive with no problem. Or is something wrong harware wise with the new drive (the new drive is used but was checked out for good condition. ### Assistant: First off this is not a SERCOs system. Neither the SLC nor the Ultra100 support SERCOs. I am guessing that this is a HSRV servo control card for the SLC. The E-Stop condition you are getting is coming from the hardwire E-Stop input on the HSRV card. This sometimes has a drive fault contact in series with other E-Stop devices. If you did not get any warnings when downloading, then it should be fine to go from 1.36 to 1.37 so I would check the relay output of the drive. You could also check the settings for the IO between the two drives to make sure they match after the download was completed. \\n

### Human: Powerflex 4/40 RFI Filter I am installing a PowerFlex 4 5 horsepower drive at 480v, I also have a 22-RF012-BL filter for it and I am curious if I can use this filter on the load side of the drive. I wanted a load filter and thought that is what myself and my rep had picked out but the sheet that came with the filter says that it is an input filter. Any thoughts? ### Assistant: Hi, That filter is only for the input side, do not connect it to the output. you may be able to exchange it for a 1321-RWR device which is a reflected wave reduction filter (if that is what you are looking for). Here is a link to a PDF about reactors and output filters (RWR): http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/td/1321-td001_-en-p.pdf \\n

### Human: Powerflex700VC Output Current Summary: Powerflex700VC Output Current still present after stoppingIs this a normal phenomenon that the time I give a stop command to my VFD I can see that the “Output Frequency” is Zero, but I still get an ‘Output Current” and at the same time the VFD is also showing “At Speed” displays on the HIM. It will take for about 3 to 4secs before ‘Output Current” goes to “Zero” and the “At Speed” change to “Stopped”. VFD deceleration time is set 5secs. I am having a PowerFlex700VC drive, 400V, 56A with a 20-CommD adapter. What I understand (maybe I’m wrong) is that when you give a stop command to the VFD after the deceleration time set elapse the VFD will shut down it circuits immediately and goes OFF. Thanks, hope someone could enlighten me. ### Assistant: I don't thinl it's normal. Perhaps it is only a display problem.

### Human: Motion Arm Watch (MAW) I have a piece of equipment that is currently using a MAW instruction to time time a dispensing valve to axis motion. The instruction suggests that the arm is useful for syncing operations to a specified axis position. The position is watched at the servo update rate (very fast) but the the problem is that the logic scan time that is waiting for the WatchEventStatus to be true could be very slow. Is this instruction any better than comparing the .ActualPosition to a certain value. I mean after all, the coarse update rate is the fastest you can expect anything to be read in logic anyways. So why is this instructin even used. The ActualPosition is coming in at the coarse update rate anyways and this is the same time you will see the WatchEventStatus change state as well. I wanted to make sure I understand this instruction and why the original programmer may have used it this way. Thanks in advance for any feedback or advice. ### Assistant: The MAW would be used to trigger an Event Task. The event task interrupts regular scanning when the MAW triggers and executes the Event task. \\n


### Human: What's the function of IAM and AM. Summary: Thay both are axis module,so what is the difference?Could you expalain what of their function.It seems to be difficult to find some detailed doc. to focus on it. ### Assistant: The AM Axis Module has connections on the front for motor, encoder, and auxilliary IO. It draws its power from the power rail. The IAM Integrated Axis Module, in addition to the connections noted above, has connections for input power and control power. The IAM has the converter which takes input AC and turns it into the common bus DC used by all the modules. There must always be an IAM on the left side of the power rail. And before you say it, I agree with you, Rockwell could have picked a more descriptive, intuitive name for the IAM. TJ McDermott \\n

### Human: Usage of Single VFD (Power flex 750) for two Different Motor Applications Summary: Usage of Single VFD (Power flex 750) for two Different Motor ApplicationsIn One of My Project, I have two different Motors Applications. I want to control both the Motors with the Single VFD (Power Flex 750), since both the application are having same expected Performance Characteristics and both are operating at different Timings without any time overlap. I do have one contractor panel to switch between one motor Circuit to another motor circuit How feasible to use this technique? Please let me know is there anything need to be taken care while designing this concept ? Thanks, Mani ### Assistant: I believe this scenario could be implemented only if the two motors are identical and the VFD Load side switching contactors are mechanically interlocked and operated while the VFD is passive. The VFD running application needs to know the motor's nameplate data first and then the field application's requirements. \\n

### Human: PowerFlex 750 Series VFD, DriveLogix, and PanelView Plus Summary: Looking to see if the PowerFlex 750 series VFD can directly communicate with any type of PanelView Plus HMI.We are investigating the use of DriveLogix in a PowerFlex 750 series VFD. We will be using both Discrete and Analog I/O boards. We want to have a PanelView Plus HMI (Component, Standard, or PV+ 6) interface with the VFD and DriveLogix probably over Ethernet/IP, but that’s still up in the air. Does anyone know if this possible and if so where can I find documentation or maybe some examples? ### Assistant: I don't believe you will be able to develop and run a FTV application without a CPU controller such as DriveLogix. And DriveLogix is not offered but an option for the PF700S Phase II VFD series only; PF753(750) offers the DeviceLogix option which is a configurable, embedded I/O interface. If a 5730DriveLogix EtherNet/IP option is chosen with a PF700S Phase II VFD, then you could develop and run your FTV(ME/SE) application on the subnet bridged by the DriveLogix EtherNet/IP interface. http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/um/20d-um003_-en-p.pdf For the HMI application: http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/um/viewme-um004_-en-e.pdf \\n

We found out that N197:11 had a value of 408 , and N197:23 also had a 408 value. Those integer files are supposed to toggle on and off from 0 to 1 so that the controller knows that it has communication. I manually entered in a value of 1 and then they started going back and forth from 1 to 0 and the E91 error went away. \\n

### Human: ArmorStart 284D Summary: Wiring Diagram I am working with the 284D armorstart and am wondering where to find a internal wiriing diagram for the unit. I specifically I want to know where the control power wires go inside the ArmorStart. The OEM that did the hardware layout did not follow the pin outs for this cable. In the 284D manual it says + - 24 vdc are on pins 1 & 2. The OEM connected it to 5 and 2. thanks ### Assistant: The OEM was right. Pins 5 and 2 connect to A1 and A2 inside the drive, you need 24VDC between them in order to run the drive. The attached diagram might clear things up. \\n


### Human: 755 in gearing application Summary: Parameters necessary for electronic gearing, has anyone used a 755 for electronic gearing the information that i have found at this point is conflicting. ### Assistant: Yeah, it is, isn't it? Is the electronic gearing occurring in the drive, or is the drive connected to a Logix platform and is being controlled via CIP motion? TJ McDermott \\n


### Human: PowerFlex drives over ControlNet? I know PowerFlex runs over Ethernet. What about ControlNet? (And if it does, any problems to watch for?) I've got a customer that has a nearly religious conviction against ehternet as a control protocol... ;) ### Assistant: Yes, the powerflex dives have an adapter 20-comm-c and 22-comm-c depending on what drive you have to operate on controlnet. In my opinion it is just as easy as ethernet to setup. Just have to schedule the network once configured. \\n


### Human: Battery for Powerflex 753 755 real time clock Summary: Information about the battery for this function of the drive The Powerflex 753 and 755 have a clock on board that can be set to current time, but does not maintain it through a power cycle. There is provision to install a CR1220 battery on the main control board of each drive, but other than that, there is not much more about this feature. Some details I learned today from an on-line chat with Tech Support: The battery can be expected to last about 10 years. It is used only when the drive is not powered. If the real time clock is set, and then power is cycled, one of two things will happen: If the battery is installed, the clock will maintain its setting through the power cycle. If the battery is flat or not installed, event 206 will be logged. Tech support thinks this is an alarm (not a fault). https://rockwellautomation.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/110309 The link above is a knowledgebase article about how to install the battery.

### Human: Powerflex with SINGLE phase output Summary: Can a 22A-V1P5N104 Powerflex4 110vac single phase drive be used with a single phase motor? 22A-V1P5N104 ### Assistant: [Reference Aid 38149] No. Even though many of the smaller drives will take a single-phase input, they all have a 3-phase output so are designed to operate with 3-phase motors. Use on single-phase motors may cause drive or motor failure - fuzzy logic In order to enhance Forum's contributors reputation, please rate the replies you got and remember to close the thread clicking Choose as Best Answer button over the solving answer.

### Human: Kinetix 350 - 2097-V33-PR1-LM Incoming power supply Summary: Can the Incoming power supply support Single phase 230V AC Hi, I am a new user of Kinetix 350 - 2097-V33-PR1-LM. I purchased a new drive. When seen on the Mains connector side its say Single phase 120V or three phase 240V. I use the Motion analyzer software to finalize the part number. The software says we can use it as Single phase 240V incoming power supply. In actual Can I power it on with a Single phase 230V AC? Thanks, Gowri. ### Assistant: Yes, see the table below. - fuzzy logic In order to enhance Forum's contributors reputation, please rate the replies you got and remember to close the thread clicking Choose as Best Answer button over the solving answer.

### Human: How many members use CIP motion with Powerflex 755 drives? Summary: Not getting a response to my original question, so maybe there are not may usersI originally asked if anyone had difficulties with Powerflex 755 drives when using CIP motion. So far no one has responded to that question. So, I'll turn it around. How many members are successfully using CIP motion with Powerflex 755 drives? ### Assistant: We do, but what is the purpose of your question? \\n


### Human: torque current Gidday. How can i relate the torque current to mechanical torque available at the motor shaft ? Cheers ### Assistant: it is approximate. you should have some parameters torque demand, or actual torque those would be pretty close to the torque at the shaft of the motor.... this would be 0 to 100%, it is proportional to 0 to Full Torque of the motor at base speed... if you are trying to do an application that requires torque control or driving to a specific torque you should reword the question to be more detailed. \\n


### Human: CamProfile .status = 3 on loss of power Summary: There was a loss of power during a MAPC instruction in process. The MAPC Cam Profile tag[0] .status was left at 3 instead of 2. What is the meaning of the cam profile . status codes? How are they reset? This status of 3 instead of 2is keeping my MCCP from running. ### Assistant: nan \\n


### Human: powerflex 753 and micrologix 1100 messaging Summary: will 500CPU write messages cause EEPROM damage I started messaging a 753 through a 22 com e from a micro 1100 using a 500CPU write message. After doing further research, reading the 22 com e manual, I see all examples show using the CIP Generic write, which writes to NVram, and CIP generic put which writes to rom. Wondering if my method will cause EEPROM damage over time. ### Assistant: The 22-COMM-E is not compatible with the PF753. You need a 20-COMM-E. \\n
