### Human: PF753 does not start Summary: PF 753-755 drive does not respond to start/rev commandHi, We have a PF 753 drive (20F11ND077AA0NNNNN) and it does not respond to Start or Reverse command. Below is how the parameters are set and inputs are wired. Param 158 DI Stop: Port5: Dig In Sts.Input 1 Param 161 DI Start: Port5: Dig In Sts.Input 0 Param 162 DI Reverse: Port5: Dig In Sts.Input 2 When we enable Stop and Start inputs, drive STS indicator LED turns to flashing green, HIM module shows rotation indication F but drive does not respond to commanded speed. And when we enable stop and reverse, rotation indication still shows F instead of R. What can cause it? One weird thing I have noticed is, although this is supposed to be a 753 drive, the main control board is:SK-R1-MCB1-PF755 (this is not a brand new drive and not sure who programmed it before). And it is using a 22-series I/O card: 20-750-2262C-2R. How compatible is 755 main control board on a 753 drive? ### Assistant: Someone before you made a frankenstein drive. Since it has the PF755 main control board, it will behave like a 755, even though the control pod has only 3 slots available, not 5. That said, it shouldn't matter for the way you're trying to use it. Question 1: Have you verified your input wiring by looking at port 5, parameter 1 (input status)? As you trigger inputs 0, 1, and 2, you should see their state change in port 5 parameter 1. Question 2: What is the source of your speed command? Is it wired correctly and have you verified it by looking at the appropriate parameter? You might look at the diagnostic parameters for Port 0 - 930 to 936. If you are 100% certain your physical setup is correct, then the simplest thing to do is factory-default the drive and start from a clean slate, especially because you say someone else programmed the drive previously. The only way to do this is via the HIM (CCW will NOT reset the drive). See page 318 of the PM manual: https://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/pm/750-pm001_-en-p.pdf \\n


### Human: 1395 DC We bought a cermona lathe in Canada and moved it to Russia . It has a 1395 DC drive and a SLC 500 PLC on it. Will it work on 50 HZ. Jeff ### Assistant: Yes, the 1395DC will work at 50 Hz. Take a look to the essential publications from this technote: Aid 48544 Hope this helps… - fuzzy logic \\n


### Human: Drive Executive and 1395 Drives I have Drive Executive 4.05 and I am trying to connect to a 1395 drive but I can't get any response from the A/B adapter box connected between my laptop serial port and drive. How do I configure the software to detect the adapter box and talk to the 1395 drive. I had a technician in who was using an old version of drive explorer and he could get that to work. I could use some help from anyone who has had success with drive executive and 1395 drives. Someone told me that RSlinx should not be running but when I start drive executive it starts up rslinx. ### Assistant: hi.at first you need to configure driver for your serial port in rslinx.configure the driver as rs232 df1 devices and select the device as scanport.then try to connect your pc to 1395 drive using drive executive.hope this helps. \\n


### Human: PowerFlex 40-E AC Drive via 22 COMM-E Summary: Fault F081Hello Guys, i have an issue with my powerFlex40; it's getting the F081 sometimes after a start. I have 4 pf40 and they are almost configured the same way and this working like this for years. the 4 pf are wired in the same way that when an emergency stop is pushed they are all powered off(400V); after acknowledging the e-stop they all start normally but that one brings sometimes(not always) the F081: Comm Loss. I can even not reproduce the issue because it is not happening every time. Any Ideas what it could be? the network cable of the pf goes to a switch (all the 4 pf are connected on that switch) and from the switch to a 1794-AENT Ethernet adapter. ### Assistant: What sort of logic processor controls the VFDs? \\n


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


### Human: PF 753 safety torque card fault Summary: Drive faults on safety toque faultWhen safety of the drive is triggered, the drive goes into safety torque fault and cannot be resetted remotely, the fault can only be cleared either clearing the fault on the drive or reset the drive, When changed the safety torque card, the problem does not occur for a few time when safety is triggered, is there any permenant solution other just replacing the card all the time? ### Assistant: What exactly is your STO fault? What exactly is the safety board you are using? How are you trying to reset the drive fault remotely? Via discrete inputs, or over network connection? How is the safe torque card wired (what opens the safe torque circuits)? The cards work well, if you wire them correctly and use them correctly. Look at page 20 of the link below: https://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/um/750-um002_-en-p.pdf Rockwell did a poor job labeling the two pairs of terminals. SP+ / SP- are labeled safety power, and SE+ / SE- are labeled safety enable. However, page 25 shows a typical wiring installation, where the two pairs are used as a dual channel control signal. To me, this is not very intuitive, but you can learn from the diagram on page 25. BOTH channels must be enabled / disabled at the same time. If you open only one, you will get a safe torque fault. Opening both simultaneously does not generate a safe torque FAULT; it simply shuts down the power stage. Closing them simultaneously allows the power stage to be used again without needed a fault reset; the drive is simply ready again. Look at page 332 of the programming manual at the link below: https://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/pm/750-pm001_-en-p.pdf Are you getting fault 211? Is there a problem with the voltage you are feeding the safe torque board? \\n


### Human: powerflex 40 firmware questions I have a powerflex 40 drive, 22B-D010N104BD. It has a non standard firmware and the OEM is no longer selling this drive. Is there anyway to get and flash the firmware to another drive of the same model? ### Assistant: I did not know custom firmware was an option, but your post made me look in the knowledgebase. I found the article pasted at the bottom of my post. Please note the spelling errors are Rockwell's. That said, do you HAVE to have the custom firmware? If the OEM is leaving you high and dry, what is the custom firmware give you? PowerFlex AC Drives with Custom, Specialty, or Proprietary Firmware 640821 | Date Created: 01/26/2015 | Last Updated: 01/12/2018 Access Level: Everyone Email this page Print Subscribe to Updates Question How do I know if my drive has custom, specialty or proprietary firmware? Answer The last two digits in the catalog stirng will give more infomation about these drives 22B-D010N104xx. A customer with a drive with custom, specialtiy or proprietary firmware can obtain the firmware or cassetee only through an authorized distributor. When flashing firmware or replacing the control cassette you have to the order the cassete with with the proper firmware. Standard firmware versions may not have the proper header files to allow it to be flashed to a custom firmware. \\n


### Human: Pf40 port and mod cycling red When powering up drive. There is no comms enabled. The comms is via devicenet. Replaced comms card and drive but problem is still there, Any ideas on the solution for this ? ### Assistant: You'll need to connect to the drive using Connected Components Workbench or DriveExecutive to get more information. https://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/um/22comm-um003_-en-p.pdf According to the 22-COMM-D manual, page 8-2 (96 of the PDF) a flashing red PORT light means: The adapter is not receiving communication from the drive, connected drive is faulted, or a drive is missing in Multi-Drive mode. Fixes for this include: Clear any drive faults. Verify that cables are securely connected. Cycle power to the drive. On the next page, a flashing red MOD light means: The adapter has failed the firmware test, connected drive is faulted, or a drive is missing in Multi-Drive mode. Fixes for this include: Clear faults in the drive. Cycle power to the drive. If cycling power does not correct the problem, the parameter settings may have been corrupted. Reset defaults and reconfigure the module. If resetting defaults does not correct the problem, flash the adapter with the latest firmware release. For Multi-Drive mode, determine which drive is missing or faulted. Check cabling and configuration settings (see Configuring the RS-485 Network section in Chapter 7). Since both lights flashing would seem to indicate a multi-drive mode, does this point you in the right direction? Is this a multidrive application? \\n


### Human: 1768-L43 to PF753 via 20-750-enetr Summary: Port 6 DPI loss? move module to port 5 as solutionExisting EIP adaptor in port 6. While PLC in remote run is it possible to move EIP adaptor to port 5 without download. Keypad of vfd has option to fix after module moved to port 5 but if I proceed would a download of processor be required for PLC to work with EIP adaptor in port 5? ### Assistant: Yes, you would have to adjust the IO tree entry in the Logix PLC program in order to execute this change. Are you using Device Level Ring (DLR)? Are there other devices on the network? \\n


### Human: Load Sharing/Torque Slave Summary: Two Motors, One Load on KinetixHello, I'm getting questions from our mechanical engineers about implementing a dual motor setup for a single load(an indexing conveyor). What is the best method to pull this off? Is it even worth it, or should I be telling the engineers to find a way to implement a single larger motor? I did some searching around the knowledgebase and found plenty of documentation on doing this with Powerflex 755 drives, but nothing for Kinetix. Currently, the best I've got is to set them up normally and use either 1:1 electronic gearing, a 1:1 position cam, or matching time cams. From there, I'd have to tune the velocity droop function and write some extra code to keep them from fighting eachother, especially when stopping. The other idea was to use a FBD routine to apply(subtract) a torque trim of -Torque Command/2 to the Master, which would be in position control mode, and apply a torque trim of +Torque Command/2 to the Slave in torque control mode, using the master's torque command. The idea is to turn on both servos, command only the master to move, use a torque trim to cut it's commanded torque in half, and apply that same value to the slave. I've got a feeling this won't actually work very well, but who knows. The goal would be to pull this off with a 5069 CompactLogix and Kinetix 5500 drives, but I could change those if required. ### Assistant: I've done this with 755 drives, pretty much as you've described. It was rather easy with the 755s. It is not nearly so easy with K5500s I think; for whatever reason Rockwell doesn't think that people want to use servo drives in torque mode. 5500 drives don't get THAT large so your application must not need too much power. Wouldn't it be simpler with a single large motor / drive set? If your mechanical engineers want to put a motor at the nose roller and the tail rotor, would 1:1 electronic gearing be that poor a solution? I'm making an assumption that you can tune the motors well, but it might work. I wish I had some test hardware; it would be interesting to run some worst-case scenarios. \\n


### Human: Line reactors Summary: Motor sizeGood day, 1. What size of the motor do a connect reactors on the input and out of VSD? 2. The line reactors have two ratings e.g A1 & A2 = 80A and B1 & B2; Ith = 120A and what this means? M. Mahao ### Assistant: Hi, if I get your question right, the side depends on your particular installation or application. Basically you utilize a reactor connected to the input of your VFD to help to protect your VFD against disturbances of your power line and also to reduce the total harmonic distortion in the line introduced by the VFD. Basically you utilize a reactor between the VFD output and the motor to protect your VFD against reflected waves in installations where the motor and the VFD are “far” from each other and also to protect some motors from non-sinusoidal wave forms. There can be some other reasons why you want to use a reactor. If you utilize an input reactor connect A1, B1 and C1 to the line and A2, B2 and C2 to the VFD input terminals. If you utilize an output reactor, connect A1, B1 and C1 to the VFD output terminals and A2, B2, C2 to the motor In your case 80A is the rated fundamental amps and Ith = 120A is the max amps Hope this helps Bye \\n


### Human: Not Enabled alarm Summary: What cause the alarmWe have not- enabled alarm on 753 drive what could have caused that? the drive cant start/run because of that alarm ### Assistant: Look at parameter 933 - Start Inhibits, to figure out what is preventing you from running. https://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/pm/750-pm001_-en-p.pdf Page 162. \\n


### Human: Using a MAG instruction on a channel welder? Summary: How to make the motion on an infeed of a channel welder streamlined and smoothI’m trying to smooth out some motion on a channel welder and I think my next step is trying to use a MAG instruction instead of cycling a MAM instruction every time the gap between the part in front of it exceeds a preset value. My problem is im having trouble wrapping my head around how to go about doing it.. So the operator loads the part in the infeed, the infeed then needs to catch up to the part in the outfeed without hitting it, then stop at the first channel weld position. My thought would be to immediately gear (MAG) the infeed to the outfeed and then calculate the gap between the part in the infeed and the part in the outfeed and do an incremental move to close the gap, less a couple inches for clearance. Then the infeed would happily follow the outfeed smoothly while the part in the outfeed continued to finish up its channel welds. The infeed would then need to break off from the outfeed MAG instruction and come to a stop at the first channel weld position in one smooth motion. That’s the part I’m stuck on, ive never used the MAG instruction before and im not sure how to go about disabling the motion gear and then commanding an absolute move precisely at the point when the infeed would need to start decelerating to stop at the first channel weld position. How do you disable a motion gear instruction? From what ive seen so far, it looks like only a motion axis stop would do it. But my concern there is I need to immediately issue the absolute move to get it to stop exactly at the first channel weld position, so it might look “drunk” as its coming to a stop with some hesitation in there as the MAS starts and the MAM starts.. Am I thinking about this wrong? Is there a better/smoother way to do this? Ive attached the current logic, which just recycles a MAM instruction for reference, along with a video of what that motion looks like. ### Assistant: An MAS with stop type GEAR will end an MAG instruction. However, I think what you want is to issue the MAM with MERGE enabled. Having merge enabled will replace the MAG with the move that you want in order to stop in the desired position. \\n

### Human: VFD Ring Network Issue Summary: Issue with Ring network causing issues when servicing equipment.I have ring network setup with one compact logix PLC and several VFDs, say 30 or so. There are times when one VFD needs to have it's disconnect turned off for service. This shuts down all the equipment on the ring. Because they are on one ring but on different conveyors I need to be able to remove a drive from service without taking the entire system down. Is there anything that can be done to prevent the system from shutting down when one drive is turned off? ### Assistant: What PLC model specifically? What firmware version is the PLC? What device is the ring master? A complete diagram of the ring would help us help you. Are you sure you have the ring configured properly? Are there any devices which are not rated for being in the ring? For instance, Wago Ethernet adapters with 2 ports can technically be in a ring, but are not rated for DLR service and could cause ring problems. \\n


### Human: Kinetix 6000 E19 Summary: 2094-BM01-S showing E19we have replaced 2094-BM01-S with new same module. old was working fine but when we install new module, shows error E19 when RUN. Do we need to make some changes in configuration? or it should be plug and play? ### Assistant: E19 is position error fault. It's likely you have not hooked up the encoder cable or the power cable correctly. Go through the terminations on the drive very carefully. \\n


### Human: Which motion instructions to use? Hi I have two servo axes (2 conveyors one after the other), master and slave in a linear movement. The slave must follow the master, but at a precise moment it stops to load products, after this it restarts and must catch up with a higher speed the position it should have if it had not had stop (like catching the lost train). The slave continuously repeats this movement and the master never stops and can have variable speed. Which motion instructions to use? ### Assistant: You're asking for a simple answer to a complex scenario. You might use MAG with some MAMs. You might use an MAPC if the stop point is consistent and repeatable. The truth of the matter is, you probably need a systems integrator to develop your application. \\n


### Human: cannot get a Powerflex 755 drive to change direction Summary: i cannot get the Power flex drive to switch directions? FRW REV the key pad constantly shows rev ### Assistant: Bruce, if there's any chance you can upload a DNO file from DriveExecutive or whatever file format is used for Connected Components Workbench, that's the easiest, fastest way we could help you. There are several reasons why you might not be able to control direction from the HIM keypad. The drive could be configured for direction control via Ethernet or digital inputs from a PLC. The keypad could be masked from logical control. We'd be guessing at how you have the drive configured and take hours or days for back and forth communications. With the parameter file, any experts here would get you an answer in minutes. You can start looking at parameter 162 - DI Fwd / Reverse, and also at parameters 324, 325, 326 (various masks). If you do not have 750-PM001, get it here: https://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/pm/750-pm001_-en-p.pdf You really cannot be in full control of a PF750 drive without this manual. Get us the parameter file one way or another and we'll get you a good answer. \\n


### Human: Powerflex 525 DriveStatus INT breakdown????!!!!! Summary: where is the description or documentation for DriveStatus INT?I am looking for any documentation on what the code or bit level definition is for the INT DriveStatus that is at the beginning of the module defined tag for powerflex 525. I know there are status bits in the next INT in the tag, and they are pretty self-explanatory. but there is nothing that explains the first INT in the WORD that is being read for the logic status. it is just your standard drivestatus.0 thru drivestatus.15 besides just wanting to know... I feel there is some benefit here that I don't see in here because I don't how to apply this. without any documentation I might resort to programming something and I might be missing out on a tool that would optimize and/or make the logic more intuitive to understand. thanks ahead of time :) ### Assistant: DriveStatus INT is the status bits all in one element. Each of its bits is one of the status bits with english-readable names (Ready, Active, CommandDir, etc.) As long as you do not have Logix5000 sorting elements of a tag alphabetically, then the top-down arrangement of the BOOL elements should match the 0-15 bits of the DriveStatus element. The benefit MIGHT be to easily pass the drive's status on to an HMI in a single word instead of 16 discrete bits. However, whoever programs the HMI still has to deconstruct the word down to bits. https://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/um/520com-um003_-en-e.pdf Go to page 158 of the PDF link above if my description doesn't make sense. \\n

### Human: Cabinet to install PF755 Summary: Cabinet to install PF755Hi, I would like to know if rockwell Automation supplies a box or small cabinet as option to install the drive into it, it's about PF 755. if it's possible i want to have its picture or datasheet. Thank's ### Assistant: There is an option for a packaged PF755 drive. I suggest you avoid it unless you have both a lot of time and a lot of money available. Look here for more information: https://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/td/750-td002_-en-p.pdf Even though these are called FasTrac, they are assuredly not fast. My company builds electrical panels; the local Rockwell representative often asks us to build equivalent packaged drives because Rockwell's lead time is so long. Rockwell does not sell enclosures for drives. I'm guessing you already have the drive in hand and now need to make a complete system. If you need more assistance from us users, I suggest you give us more information. You said PF755 but neglected to say how big it was. The PF755 comes in 7 frame sizes that are wall mount. The more information you give us the more detailed the solution we will be able to suggest. Hoffman, Saginaw, and Rittal all manufacture nice enclosures for drives. Do not forget to do heat calculations to see if you will need ventilation or air conditioning for your system. \\n

### Human: PwoerFlex 525 110V model 25B-V6P0N104 Summary: Rockwell Automation Publication 520-UM001I-EN-E - July 2016 pg 35 note DC+, DC- DC Bus Connection (except for 110V 1-Phase)What is meant by this note? And what type of permanent magnet motors can be controlled by this drive? ### Assistant: I believe it means that the 110V, 1-phase models of this drive do not have DC+/DC- terminals. All other 525 models DO have those terminals. The 525 drive will run PM motors; look at appendix J in the manual you referenced. \\n


### Human: convert PowerFlex 40 PROFIBUS to ETHERNET-IP Hi, Do you know if it is possible to convert (or add a new comms card) an existing VFD PowerFlex 40 that is PROFIBUS to ETHERNET-IP?

### Human: Powerflex 755 Register Addresses I am looking for register addresses for the monitoring values like voltage, current, power etc. I am going to pull these values through modbus. In the programming manual, there is only the addresses which can be used in Rslogix, Devicelogix or Studio5000 through some port numbers. I need the actual registers addresses where these value has been stored. ### Assistant: Rockwell has this technote about communicating Modbus RTU to a PF750: https://rockwellautomation.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/493213 To do so requires a 20-750-20COMM card carrier and a 20-COMM-H communications card. I'm guessing though that you meant Modbus TCP (Ethernet)? \\n


### Human: power flex drive 753 failure after power recycle We have using approx fifty power flex drives in our plant and have had little trouble until the other day. We had a scheduled power outage with the power company they disconnected all phases at on time and repowered us after one hour. after that we noticed we had one drive 55 kw rating that did not power back up and are fed from the same line as ones that did. we checked voltage at the drive line input and is fine. we are at a loss as what and why this has happened. ### Assistant: Do you get absolutely nothing? No cooling fans, no HIM light, nothing at all? Have you inspected the interior of the drive? Has a capacitor failed catastrophically or vented (look for goo where no goo should be)? Do you have a spare control board? Install that and see if the drive powers up. \\n


### Human: Easiest way after replacing a VFD to add the parameters via a .DNO file Summary: Can this be done thru Studio 5000 without going thru Drive ExecutiveWe have .DNO file saved in Drive Exc. I've seen a couple way of doing this, and each time there has been minor hiccups. So is it easiest to download the .dno file through drive executive then connect through the PLC and do the match drive. We have Studio 5000 V30. Or can you go through 5000 and do the right click on the drive tab of the drive in question and use the import drive data ? If so do you have to be offline/ online with the drive when doing this ?? ### Assistant: Any suggestions or procedures that works best with Allen Bradley VFD's , Studio 5000 and Drive Executive as the platforms being used........Thanks \\n

### Human: Use Independent encoder for position Summary: Encoder input to motion controlMy machine has a servo to control vertical motion, but the vertical load is on a belt that winds up on a wheel. The position of the vertical part is not very precise using the drive servo due to belt stretch pending the amount of load. The machine manufacture added an sick string encoder to help with position. I thought about using a MAPC, but the belt stretch from weight and distance spooled out is too much varibility. My question - how do I use this independent encoder to control position? I would like to send the servo to a setpoint and the servo slow down and stop at said setpoint, I assume, using one of the Studio motion functions. The encoder input is a 4-20mA analog input. Programming in Studio V32 Thanks. ### Assistant: Is there any chance of getting the machine manufacturer to change the string encoder from 4-20 analog output to an actual encoder output? I know Sick makes an SSI string encoder. What is the servo you are using? If it is one that has an auxiliary encoder input, this problem becomes very easy. \\n


### Human: Servo compatibility Is the servo 1326AB-B720E-M2 compatible with Ultra 3000 and Kinetix 6000? ### Assistant: If the motor catalog number ended in -M2L then it would have a Stegmann Multi-turn absolute feedback encoder.

### Human: Kinetix 5500 excessive velocity fault Summary: Two drives in same motion group fault simultaneouslyWe have a machine with four 2198-H008-ERS in the same motion group, all with VPL-B0752F-P motors. The power, bus and control are connected with the bus system. In the ladder logic, they all are treated as if they were the only drive, although they operate as pairs. We are experiencing Excessive Velocity Error on an erratic basis(once or twice per shift). The last event was that both drives in one pair faulted at exactly the same time. This may be a clue, just not for me. We have adjusted the Velocity loop parameters in various ways to try to eliminate these faults. ### Assistant: I would try increasing the velocity loop error tolerance and let the position loop error tolerance catch the real fault (jams, etc.). \\n


### Human: VPC Control With Powerflex 755 Summary: Can a Powerflex 755 control a VPC servo motor in an electronic gear configuration?I'm looking for a solution to synchronize a servo motor to a master encoder. The servo motor is fairly large (22kW) and an MPL motor did not match all the needed specifications. I know a 5700 drive is ideal for a VPC servo, but this needs to be a standalone configuration. In the past I've done this with an AC motor and two encoder cards in the Powerflex 755. Is there any reason why I should not do this with a Poweflex 755? ### Assistant: nan \\n


### Human: 843ES Safety Encoders - Position Error Summary: 843Es Encoders give position Error between two EncodersWe are testing the new 843ES Safety Encoders. We are finding that there is a significant error in position count value between two encoders, even though they are bolded to the same shaft. And no, one is not slipping, these are being turned slowly by hand. The 2nd unit is configured anti-clockwise to the first as clockwise. We did an extra test where both are clockwise, and there seems to be minimal error, however when the 2nd one is set to anti-clockwise, then error is introduced. Can Rockwell please advise the issue? And the release of updated firmware for the 843ES Encoder? Mike. ### Assistant: Michael, this is not Rockwell Tech Support. If you're expecting an official answer from Rockwell, you may not get it here. This is Rockwell's user forum, users helping other users. You should contact Rockwell Tech Support directly. \\n


### Human: Setup Powerflex 40 in Connected Components Workbench (CCW) Summary: Initial setup of Powerflex40 drive using USB to RS485 converter and CCW.How do I connect the Powerflex 40 drive using RS485, and set it up in Connected Components Workbench (CCW). I don't see instructions in the users manual. I see there are various add-on modules, but I just want to use a USB to RS485 converter, and splice it into the RJ45 jack. How do I get CCW to discover it using Connection Browser? I went to Configure Drivers, and I don't know if I should use 1784 PKTX(D)/PCMK for DH+ and DH485 or DH485 UIC Devices or another one? Do I need to setup anything on the drive first? Thanks, Greg Windows 10, CCW version 12.00.00 Standard ### Assistant: I see the users manual is saying you can use Drive Explorer application, but I think RA wants everything to move to CCW. Nevermind, I just set it up through the front panel, would be nice to know for future reference, but this issue is resolved. \\n


### Human: Powerflex 525 Forward / Reverse Summary: Control Powerflex 525 in forward / reverse directionCan i control powerflex 525 in forward/reverse direction just start command ( Hardwired DI) and speed reference ( 4-20ma only ) that shall corresponding to -50Hz to +50Hz such that when i give speed reference 4mA and start command drive shall rotate in reverse at full speed and when i give 20mA it will rotate in forward direction or i need separate forward / reverse command Drive is not communicating to PLC over ethernet or any other protocol ### Assistant: The only way you can get what you want is to use the analog voltage input. It will not work with the 4-20ma current input. If you can change to analog voltage, then you would set parameter t093 to value 1 (Bi-Polar In). According to 520-UM001: https://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/um/520-um001_-en-e.pdf, page 97, if you set t093 in this manner, then P043 (min freq) and t091 (anlg in 0-10V lo) get ignored. Presumably, with t093 set to bipolar, the 525 drive assumes your speed control is going to be symmetric (whatever you put in for max frequency and analog 0-10V hi) will be the same in the negative direction. \\n


### Human: Choose Kinetix 300 or Ultra 3000? I want to buy an MPL-A330P motor, which drive should I choose. I have an analog motion controller, like 1756-M02AE. All I need is a servo drive that supports analog reference and can provide AB quadrature encoder signals to my controller. The resolution of Ultra3000's analog input is 14 bits. The resolution of the analog input of Kinetix 300 is 12 bits. 1. Can 12bits meet high-precision positioning requirements? 2. In addition to the analog resolution, what is the difference between Kinetix 300 and Ultra 3000, and which one should I choose? ### Assistant: While Ultra3000 servo drives are technically still available to purchase, Rockwell's product lifecycle page lists them as active mature. This means they will be phased out sooner rather than later. I would not design a new system using a drive that is soon to be obsolete, so would go for the Kinetix 300 drive. 12 bits would mean approximately 1mV / count, or .002ma / count. Is your analog control capable of that performance? \\n


### Human: F004 Fault on Powerflex 4M Summary: Inverters faulting on F004 during ramp-upHi all We have 4 inverters fitted in this particular panel are all failing on F004 as the individual motors are running up (only two motors run up at a time). They are reading 400V-405V at the inverter input terminals. I believe the fault level is based on the based on the drive rating (480V) and is a non-settable threshold. We lowered P001 to 380 and switched the display to D005 (DC Bus Voltage) and the display started at 575V and, when it fell over in F004, it read 555V. This seems some way off the 390V stated in the Supplementary Drive Information you forwarded me. Do you know and could you suggest anything else that could contribute to this? Thanks Stuart ### Assistant: 555V bus voltage would correspond to a theoretical line voltage of 392V. I think you should look harder at your line in voltage. If you can put a power monitor on it, you might find the voltage is sagging far more than you can read with just a multimeter. Also, what is P001? That is not a valid parameter for PF4M. Did you mean P101 motor name plate voltage? Are you measuring voltage as the motors run up? It sounds to me like your voltage source is very soft and not up to the load. \\n


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

### Human: PowerFlex 755 and IPM motor with an encoder Summary: Can’t control the speed of a permanent magnet motorHi, I am trying to control Internal Permanent Magnet Motor (not experienced at all) with Powerflex755 drive and I am lost. Today last thing I was successfully able to do was direction test and auto tune for rotational test. But after that once I started commanding the speed, drive couldn’t hold the speed at desired speed. The status would show constantly changing into accelerating, at reference and decelerating (what is the reason for this?)And it would fault as input phase loss. I received other faults too while trying lots of things and it turned into a mess. We are commanding the speed using a 0-10V analog card. The permanent magnet Baldor motor has a continuous rated speed as 1800RPM. And it’s maximum safe speed is rated as 5000RPM on the data plate. I was using CCW wizard to tune and start the drive. My question is: I set the speed reference as: Speed reference: Port5,Param Anlg In0 Value Speed ref A high: 1800rpm Speed ref A low: 0rpm Analog in Hi: 10V Analog in Low: 0V Analog Out 0 as: Select: Port 0, Param Mtr Vel Fdbk Scaling: Value High: 5000, Value low: 0 Range High: 10v, range low: 0v Attached are the screen pictures from ccw. I can add more pictures if needed. Should the scaling be 1800 since it’s the rated rpm? But I will need to run it at maximum safe speed... I tried changing speed reference from 1800 to 5000rpm but it doesn’t accept any value more than 1800rpm. Any thoughts would be highly appreciated. I’m lost... Thanks in advance ### Assistant: What is the value of parameter 35 (motor control mode)? What are the values of parameters 25 through 31 (motor data)? What is the value of parameter 125 (primary velocity feedback select)? \\n


### Human: Powerflex 700 Cat. No. 20BD040AYNADC0 Summary: powerflex 700 drive voltage ratingHello, I have a Powerflex 700 Cat. No. 20BD040AYNADC0 series B, that is suppose to be rated for 480V input. I was in process of programming the drive to run a 460V/60Hz 30HP motor. but the drive seems to think it is rated for 400V input. Is there a way to change this, so the drive knows it should be rated to 480V? The drive label is attached. so is an image of LCD on the HIM. The drive was repaired by replacing the 313489-A06 board with a new one. The motor (nameplate is attached) that I am trying to run was ran by the same powerflex 700 unit . Thanks. ### Assistant: Parameter 202 is Voltage Class; it should be set to HIGH (value 3) for 480V. It's probably set to LOW (value 2) for 400V. If that's not the solution, then what is the value of parameter 54 (maximum voltage)? \\n


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


### Human: powerflex 525 using parameter A484 Summary: am I using para A 484 correctlyA 7.5 kW 4 pole 400 v centrifugal turbulence fan in an gas oven trips if temperature of the air is too low. It is controlled from a powerflex 525 inverter. Can I use para A 484 to limit current and also output rpm. If not, how can I control the current during low temperature to stop the drive from tripping? ### Assistant: Yes, A484 is intended to limit current lower than the motor overload current of parameter P033 that would otherwise cause a motor overload fault. Because you're using a PF525, you actually have two current limits to work with (A485). You would use a terminal block input to switch between the two current limits. With one parameter T062-T068 set to value 26, when that specific input is turned on Current Limit 2 defined in A485 sets the drive current limit. \\n


### Human: Motor starter information Summary: Looking for product specifications and interconnect diagramHello, We have had a particular product that was specified to us for a new system we are building and I cannot find any information on it other than a replacement parts list. The part number that the company gave us is 505V-AOXWD-104 motor starter. Would there be a manual for this product? If so could you give me a link or forward the info? Thank you for any help you can provide. ### Assistant: I suggest starting with these two links. The part number you gave looks a little odd. The 'D' would usually follow the 'AO', meaning a 120v coil. I can't figure out the overload part of the number. I'm not real familiar with the NEMA components. http://ab.rockwellautomation.com/Motor-Control/LV-Starters/NEMA http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/ca/a117-ca902_-en-p.pdf \\n


### Human: Motor is stuck during runtime Summary: Motor is stuck during runtimeMotor is drove by PF755. But during runtime motor isn't smooth, got stuck. Autotuning is done. Also change PF mode to VF control. ### Assistant: Gene, we need a LOT more information. What is the basic application (what is the load you're trying to move)? What is the motor nameplate data? Does it have encoder feedback? Did you enter the correct number of poles? When did it get stuck? At low speed? High speed? Did it follow speed commands at all? If you have a DNO file from DriveExecutive or whatever file format CCW uses, you should upload it. Uploading a DNO file for us to view along with correct motor nameplate information will get you the best support from your fellow users. \\n


### Human: PF755 master/follower application - recommended encoder Summary: single channel / single ended or dual channel / differentialHi, I have an application in which I am hoping to use two PowerFlex 755 AC drives in a Master / Slave relationship in a roll-to-roll web handling application. My plan is to equip the master drive with a 20-750-ENC-1 single incremental encoder module and to equip my slave drive with a 20-750-DENC-1 dual incremental encoder module. I will have an encoder mounted on both the master motor and on the slave motor. I plan to wire the master encoder to both the master drive (as feedback for the controlled master motor) and to the slave drive (as an external reference). I will wire the slave encoder to the slave drive (as feedback for the controlled slave motor). I am hoping to use the electronic gearing feature to ensure that I can run the slave motor at a fixed ratio of the master motor. Ideally, I am hoping that I can achieve good performance (in terms of accurate speed control without motor cogging) within a 100:1 speed range (motor RPM ranging from 18 - 1800 rpm). With this in mind, I am planning to use a high quality vector duty motor. My application is basically a constant speed application, where the master roll and the slave roll are used to convey a continuous web material through a machine. The speed ratio is nominally always 1:1 because if the rolls do not turn at the same speed, it would either create slack between the two rolls or break the web. This being said, I do need the flexibility to adjust this ratio between approximately 0.998:1 and 1.002:1 to compensate for stretching or shrinking of the web material in a dryer that it passes through. I *think* there is a good chance I would be able to get the performance I want with independent drives (not using electronic gearing) by just entering set points in the desired ratio, using the same acceleration/deceleration settings for both drives, and making sure I issue start and stop commands for both drives at the same time. The reason I'd like to try the electronic gearing feature is because I think it might help me do a better job of coordinating the speeds of the drives during acceleration and deceleration. I figure if it turns out not to be unnecessary, I will only have wasted the extra cost of one dual-encoder module and hopefully I will have learned something about the electronic gearing feature that might help in future, more challenging applications. My question for today is, will single-ended, single-channel encoders of appropriate resolution be sufficient for achieving good speed control? Or will there be some advantage to be gained if I consider using dual-channel, differential encoders? Any advice or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks and best regards, Paul ### Assistant: Consider using an encoder splitter on the master encoder signal - master encoder goes into the splitter; output1 goes to the master drive, output 2 goes to the follower drive. https://www.motrona.com/en/products/signal-converters/level-converters-signal-splitters/gv210-pulse-switch-distributor-and-splitter-for-incremental-encoder-signals.html I think I'd go with differential encoders myself. In all other respects, you've got it wrapped up pretty well. \\n


### Human: MAPC with Rotary axes Summary: following axis will not continue in a forward directionI am attempting to have a servo motor follow a CIP encoder in essentially a 4:1 ratio, but with two dips in the profile. I have the CIP encoder set up in degrees and to rollover at 1440 ( 4 x 360 degrees ), I have the servo set up in degrees and rollover at 360. Using the MAPC camming, I have the first column in the profile going from 0 to 1440 and the second column is the follower positions in the range of 0 to 360. The MAPC is set up for Continuous, & Forward. The MAPC locks into position, but the following servo motor rotates around, then quickly rotates in reverse and begins again. ? Any way to have the following servo continue around rather than reversing.? ### Assistant: I think your problem is because of cam element #3 and #4. Take a look at this image, which uses the data you shared. Look at the weird blue spike that goes below zero on the horizontal master axis at master position 460. \\n

I try to find AB.com website ,it has a lot of EDS files. For Example: VFD753 I found them, it has a lot of EDS files, and sometime is not matched which want to use. Than you so much ### Assistant: Go to this page: http://compatibility.rockwellautomation.com/Pages/home.aspx Select Electronic Data Sheets on the left under Downloads Begin narrowing your search by judicious choices in the available fields. In your example, I'm going to assume you want Ethernet First line, select Ethernet IP for network Second line, select ALL Third, line, enter 20F, the series number for Powerflex 753. Click SEARCH. You'll get twelve possible entries for each of the major firmware versions. Go ahead and download and install them all. They're small files and that way you have all your PF753 bases covered. 20G is for PF 755. \\n

When I try and save the drive to the project, and do a complete drive upload, it appears that all the parameters are uploading but I get an error for DriveLogix program upload. I have DriveLogix disabled, and no program in the drive. I am connecting thru eithernet IP, via a Stratix 8000 connected to the drive.

However, some more information is needed to be able to help. In order of importance, some useful information would be: - What is the error? (Click on the blue circle next to the progress bar if no error is shown.) Provide a screen shot of the error. - What is the version of the drive? - What is the version of software? - If DriveExecutive works, upload the drive from there and provide the saved file. - A bunch of random information can be gathered by running the “DPI/DSI Tech Support Wizard”. Connect to the drive, run that, and provide the text file. \\n


### Human: PowerFlex 525 won't communicate with CCW or Logix 5000 Summary: PowerFlex 525 communicates with controller but not CCW or Drive tab in Logix 5000Hi Guys, I seem to have an issue communicating to my PowerFLex 525's via CCW or the drive tab in Logix 5000. I'm trying to change some parameters. I have 5 drives and all of them do the same thing. The PLC is able to communicate without issue. Can anybody think of a reason why my PC is being blocked? Thanks ### Assistant: What do you see in RS-Linx? Do you see all devices there? Is this the first time this computer has used CCW to communicate with Rockwell devices over Ethernet? It's possible your computer's firewall is blocking CCW. What PLC is working for you? Can you talk with that successfully? What version of CCW do you have? Have you installed the latest drives database for CCW? \\n

### Human: Setting servo torque limit Running Kinetix SERCOS drives with MPL motors They were at 40% constant and 50% peak. They were faulting out when trying to home. They said they could find no mechanical issues. I bumped the peak up to 60% and then 75% to get them going, and they later found some minor mechanical issues like lube. The Motion System Tuning manual just says Set the Torque limits to what is required for the application. The rated constant Torque value is 4.18NM and the peak is 11.1. How do I determine where to set the servo torque limits? Thanks for your time Jim ### Assistant: You need enough torque to do the job, but not so much as to break the machine. That's not something you're going to find an answer to in the forums or even Rockwell Tech Support. You'll need to talk with your mechanical designer to determine how much torque the machine can handle before failing. The fact that peak torque was not enough to overcome lube problems says two things - maintenance isn't doing enough, and you probably could get away with 100% peak. \\n

### Human: SMC-50 Underload Fault Reset Summary: Cannot reset Using PLC tag, but can reset using drive tab or keypadHello. I am having an issue with a SMC-50 Soft start. The drive has been added to the IO tree of an rslogix application and I can communicate to the drive and I can see status information and also set up certain parameters from the PLC. One thing I cannot do however is reset an underload fault using the clearfault output bit (which is automatically created when adding an SMC-50 addon profile) in ladder logic, however I can reset the fault if I either go on to the SMC-50 drive tab in the PLC application and “clear faults” or from the in built key pad on the front of the MCC. I don’t have to set anything up within the SMC-50 using components workbench do i? I was able to set fault enable outputs directly from the PLC, I just cannot clear a fault using the logicCommands_Clearfault tag. What is the difference in the soft starter between using the “logicCommands_Clearfault tag” output tag or selecting “clear faults” on the alarm section of the drive tab in the IO tree of the plc application. Any help would be appreciated. Note: using 20-COMM-ER module on the drive to communicate to the PLC, no set up using components work bench on the drive itself ### Assistant: How long are you setting the P2_046_MCC:O.LogicCommand_ClearFault bit in your PLC code? If you're issuing a 1-shot to do this, that's probably not long enough for the signal to get passed via Ethernet. Can you hold it for 1 second? Share a screen-shot of the OTE that calls this tag. \\n


### Human: Kinetix 5500 2198-H008-ERS2 Summary: Axis Status DC Bus Up drops during operationI have two similar operations where the Drive Drops DC Bus Up during a part lift(loaded), issue will simply go away after an hour or two? During the same cycle an unloaded lift the DC Bus Up status does not drop? PLC logic is monitoring Buss Status to enable the drive ### Assistant: What happens if you temporarily bypass the logic that looks at bus status? Does lift still work or behave as if the drive is letting go of the load? Can you trend the DC bus in Logix5000? Is it in fact sagging? \\n

### Human: Powerflex 70 drives Summary: Is it suitable for oven chain conveyor applicationDifficult to negotiate Rockwell product selection. I want a 4kW , 400 VAC drive in the Powerflex 70 series but selection guide for PN 20AC8P7A0AYNANC0 states suitable for pumps and fan application. Is this drive suitable for oven conveyor drive? ### Assistant: I do not see where that drive is limited to pumps and fans. Where are you looking that you see this? A PF 70 is fine for an oven conveyor. If this drive is one you already own, or if you have a factory full of PF70s, then go for it. If you're planning to purchase a new VFD, the PF70 is not a good choice for a new application. It is not technically obsolete, but I would look at a PF753. 20F11NC8P7JA0NNNNN should match the configuration of the PF70 you show. In US dollars, I see the list price of the 753 being $250 less than the PF70. \\n


### Human: Powerflex 700s VFD Running but Motor is NOT Summary: VFD shows running but motor not turningWhen the VFD is issued a run command it goes into run mode, the HIM module shows increasing DC bus and Output Current, but the RPM is bouncing in the + and - range, the direction is also bouncing from FWD and REV. It seems that it is trying to start the motor, but the motor stays still, and the VFD does not go into fault. Looking to find out what is causing this. The VFD is 600VAC, 208A and was installed in 2006. ### Assistant: Does this motor have an encoder on it for full flux vector control? Did anyone touch the wiring of this system between the time it did work properly and now? \\n


### Human: How to get supplied electrical Power to a motor on Kinetix 5700? Summary: Trying to get the electrical power supplied to an axis.I am trying to measure the supplied instantanious and average electrical power for an axis using Kinetix 5700 parameters. I searched the manuals but didn't find a parameter that would do this. So the question is if there is a way to get the power supplied to the motors from the drives parameters? The used servo motor is a vpl low inertia motor. ### Assistant: You can get the (instantaneous, I think) power for an axis using a GSV command. Look at this document: https://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/rm/motion-rm003_-en-p.pdf Go to page 369 of the PDF for power. \\n


### Human: Power Flex 755 intermittant comm loss Summary: Drive stops communicating randomlyCurious if anyone else has had this issue with the imbedded Ethernet cards on there 755s. This drive is part of a skid where the 5 drives work together off a master drive. And the drive runs fine but it looses communication intermittently and kicks the operators out of auto and makes them use the machine in manual. Ive tested the Ethernet cable going to the drive, ive changed the main control board, plugged the cable into a different port on the Allen Bradley switch to no avail. Ended up changing the whole drive out which fixed it. I am curious what would cause an intermittent issue like this? Any insight would be appreciated ### Assistant: No good answer. Changing out the main control board should have done the trick. It's possible the drive back-plane was bad. We've seen this once I think, and I think someone else commented on this in the forum. You've got it solved this time. I do not think it is a design defect. You say you tested the cable. Did you flat-out replace it? Was the cable commercial, or did you make up both ends? Was the cable rated for 600V and double-shielded (foil and braided shield)? \\n


### Human: Unable to get Ethernet Comms working on Dual Port Ethernet Module - PowerFlex 525 Summary: Dual Port Ethernet Communications Setup ProblemsWe have a problem communicating to our PowerFlex 525 drives using the dual port ethernet interface from the stratix switch. Communication is OK if we use the embedded ethernet port. However, when we connect to the dual port interface we cannot ping the drive. Any thoughts? ### Assistant: https://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/um/520com-um003_-en-e.pdf That's the user manual for the dual port Ethernet manual. Did you install it correctly? Did you install the interface connector that connects the card to the drive? It's easy to forget this part; it does not look important. How did you configure the ethernet address of the dual part card? Did you plug your Ethernet cable(s) into the dual port card (not the embedded port)? Sorry, these sound like stupid questions, but I've encountered an instance where each question was someone's solution. What do the card's LED status indicators show? \\n


### Human: kinetix 5500's Summary: MAM will finish after an interrupt instead of executing new MAMI have run into an interesting issue. When i break the light curtain while my machine is in motion, safe torque off activates and the program holds that position until a return to home command or continue cycle is initiated. this is normal operation. On this machine though, i have found MAM's still enabled even if the rung isn't true anymore, and the drive will finish the motion that was in progress instead of executing the return to home MAM. is there a way to clear the memory of the drive in this situation so i can be sure it executes the MAM the logic dictates? as of now, the drive is not following the logic of my program. i have looked at scan times, made sure that my routines were being read in the right order, checked for duplicate MAM's and OTE's, made some logic very unique to ensure it wasn't duplicated in other places. i have worked on this issue for two days and not had any luck. processor is 1769-L27ERM-QBFC1B mated to 2198-H070, H008, H003 - ERS. Studio5000 version 30.11 I have 4 identical machines that were just built and all exhibit same behavior, so i'm certain it is in my program, but i cannot find the bug in the code. i have built 30+ machines like this but have never run into this issue before. ### Assistant: Gregory, you're far more likely to get a useful answer if you share your ACD file and point us to the location of the MAM that persists. \\n


### Human: Configuring 527 for fan motor application I am currently adding a 527 drive to a L71S PLC via ethernet. I am trying to configure the motion group and I need to know what settings I will need in setting up the axis. ### Assistant: If you already have the drive configured in the IO tree, you should also have an axis associated with it. In the motion group folder, create the motion group using right click / create. Name is unimportant. Move the axis from the ungrouped folder to your new motion group. Doubleclick it to open its property page. You've given us little information to go on, so I'm going to make wild assumptions on what you have - like, no feedback. General tab: Axis configuration - pick frequency control Motor tab: Data source - nameplate data sheet motor type - rotary induction Fill out the motor parameters. Do make sure you get pole count correct - Poles = 120 x base frequency / synchronous speed Analyser tab: Run this after you have wired, powered, and communicating. Dynamic test by preference, but static test will work. Hookup test tab: Use that to verify correct rotation Frequency control tab: Go with defaults until you know what you want to adjust. Drive parameters tab: Pick what parameters you want to have access to read and write. You cannot have them all. Pick the monitoring ones that make sense for your application to display on an HMI. \\n

A start command will not be issued to the soft starter if a Shorted SCR condition is detected. Note: Shorted SCR Faults cannot be overridden through a parameter change. See the following steps below to troubleshoot and resolve these faults: Verify 3 phase power connections on line side of the SMC-3 controller are tight; correct damage to conductor cables. Verify conductors on load side of the SMC-3 controller going to the motor are tight; correct damage to conductor cables. Verify motor windings are not damaged by meggering the motor. Remove motor leads from the SMC-3 controller before using a Megger to measure and test the motor windings. If the SMC-3 soft starter has the shorted SCR error, perform resistance checks across each of the power poles (L1 to T1, L2 to T2, L3 to T3). The resistance check across all 3-phases should be 10,000 ohms or greater if the SCR is okay and is not shorted. A shorted SCR will have much less resistance than the normal 10,000 ohm reading. Before doing these checks, do the following: Remove the motor leads from the bottom of the SMC-3 soft starter Remove three phase and control power from the SMC-3 soft starter Verify the configuration of dip switch 15 Line Connection is set correctly. Set it to Line for three lead Motors; set it to Delta for six lead Wye Start Delta Motors.

### Human: Using a VSD with a Demag conical brake motor Summary: Demag Conical brake motor can be used with an ABB ACS 800 drive, is there a suitable Rockwell productA Demag conical brake motor can be used with an ABB ACS 800 drive. Is there any AB Powerflex Inverters which are suitable for this task? ### Assistant: We've actually done this with PF753 drives, without knowing before hand that the motors were conical rotor. The crane bridge had 6 motors running off one PF753, and it worked surprisingly well. Only at the slowest speeds did the rotors not release. It took some tuning of parameters P60-P63 to get something the operators thought was good. Never mind that it was VERY qualitative and I think they said one test run was better than another despite the fact that we'd not changed anything that time. \\n

### Human: 2HP PF755 Motor Speed Varying with Encoder Feedback Summary: Closed Loop Speed Control is PoorHello. I have been getting beat-up by this drive path over the past few weeks. It is a 2HP/480V/1750rpm application with a PF755/2HP connected to a known well-performing Marathon Blue Max 1024 Quad Encoder-Feedback motor taken from another line during troubleshooting. 150W brake resistor is connected. Control is entirely over Ethernet. This motor goes through a ~20:1 right angle gearbox with an output driveshaft down to a small meltpump. VFD cable is used to the motor with no terminations in-between. Control mode is Induction FV. Speed regulation is poor at +/-3% and load swings of +/-15% degrading to load swings of +/- 100%. Other paths with the same setup are rock-solid with very tight speed control - no deviation from set point is seen on the scada hmi. I have attached a video showing this. Motor/Encoder has been replaced, gearbox has been replaced. The speed control fluctuations persist even when disconnected from the load. The original new drive was just replaced with another new drive today. It has been Calculate, Static & Rotate tuned without successfully eliminating the speed hunting. Once again, the other paths on the machine are absolutely stable. Our process requires tight speed control. Any ideas where to look next? Thanks in advance, -dan ### Assistant: You did not say that you'd done an inertia tune, only the calculate/static/rotate tune that characterizes the motor winding. You need to do an inertia tune, and even after that, I suggest increasing the speed regulator bandwidth (P636). Assuming you use DriveExecutive or CCW, when you do the inertia autotune, after it completes it shows speed reg BW at the bottom. It never, ever changes this; the default I've always seen is 10 rad/s. After autotuning, before moving to the next page, change it. If you have a 20:1 gearbox. Try a value of 30. If that does not work, then go to P636 directly and increase it to 50. Also, be aware that, unless the drive was brand new / broke the box seal to install it, a drive previously used does not completely wipe itself when running the autotune wizard. We've found out the hard way that a drive autotuned for a small motor, then switched to a larger motor keeps some parameters that were appropriate for the small. We've found that you have to do a factory-reset ON THE HIM in order to clear out all parameters. Doing it from DriveExecutive / CCW is not enough. If your new drive was actually a drive new to the application but had been tuned to a different motor, that might explain some of your results. \\n


### Human: PowerFlex 525 Drive Summary: PowerFlex 525 Drive termianl I/O read writeDear All, I am using PowerFlex 525 Drive on board terminals (Input = ContrlInStatus_DigInTBlk2, Output = OptoOut1 level.0). Problem is if there is communication fault then state of Drive input and outs remains the same before communication lost. My question is  I would like to reset the outputs of drive when communication is lost. So, Please guide me how to fulfil my requirement. Thanks Advance. ### Assistant: https://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/um/520-um001_-en-e.pdf I don't understand what you mean by input = and output =. Would you please instead tell us what values you set parameter T062 (for digital input terminal block 2), T069 (for opto ouput 0), and T070 (for opto output 0 level). With that information, we might be able to help. You can look at parameter C125 on page 125; it tells the drive what to do in event of comm loss. If you have set C125 to value 3 (continue last), then the opto output will likely stay in the state it was at comm loss if the output is configured to be a running signal, or a running above X value in the case of using the level parameter. To do what you describe I think you'll need set to something other than value 3. That should cause the opto output to change state. \\n


### Human: Issue with an A-B PowerFlex 753 Summary: Event DigIn Cfg B, DI Run and DI Fwd Reverse at the same time shouldn't be an issueHi, I installed a PF 753 (20F-11ND052AA0NNNNN) Firmware: v2.007.37 with a 24V DC 22-Series I/O Module (20-750-2262C-2R) on slot 4 Configured: DI Stop on Port 0: Dig In Sts.Digital In 1 DI Fwd Reverse on Port 4: Dig In Sts.Input 1 and DI Run on Port 4: Dig In Sts.Input 0 I usually configure inputs this way: two-wire RUN (and normal STOP, ramp or coast), one DI for FWD/REV (if required) and one STOP which I utilize for fast stop (current injection or some other means) In this case I am getting message DigIn Cfg B which dissapears if I disable the Fwd Reverse input. The thing is that I configured the same on another PF 753 v2.005.33 in a similar machine with no issue. I know I can try DI Run Forward and DI Run Reverse instead but I don't want to. Any idea, please Thank you ### Assistant: The first thing that comes to mind is, why are you using such old firmware? V14.004 is the most current. There were SIGNIFICANT problems with firmware earlier than V4. If you cannot use V14, go as high as your application will permit. Look at the PM manual: https://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/pm/750-pm001_-en-p.pdf Go to page 328 of the PDF. This chart documents DIGIN CFG B. I do not see a problem with your configuration based on this chart. Are you sure you have configured the IO as you've described? If you are absolutely sure about your configuration, then I suggest using ControlFlash+ to upgrade the firmware and try again. \\n


### Human: powerflex 755 defaulting option card after brake slip alarm I had an issue yesterday during commissioning where we were testing the brake slip function and it worked and started lowering then stopping then lowering again. after 3 times of lowering and stopping it started to free fall. I manually set the brake and brought it back down and powered down the drive. when turned power back on the parameters for the I/O card were default and i had to invert relay O and set it up to work the brake again. the drive parameters were still fine. The drive firmware is 14.002 and the I/O card is a 2262C-2R with firmware 1.008 I am also controlling the drive over ethernet via compact logix studio 5000 version 30.11 with ADC turned on ### Assistant: Parameters resetting is not happening after brake slip alarm, it's happening after you cycled power. Because you're using ADC, the PLC is pushing its parameters over to the drive once the drive makes its ethernet presence known to the controller. Verify your i/o card parameter settings in the PLC I/O tree definition. \\n

Feedback loss is unrelated - you have a feedback problem. \\n


### Human: KNX5100 Contactor Summary: connect a safety contactor on the power section without using STOHello. I am replacing an Old servo drive by a KNX5100 (2198-E1007-ERS).I want to turn on and off the safety contactor without the need of resetting an alarm or taking further action. Would you mind help me if: - connecting the power to a safety contactor - keeping the control module always powered - no breaking the STO wiring is this combination is correct? and will not harm the drive? any issuing of alarms that needs to be reset? many thanks for your help and support ### Assistant: If you're not breaking the STO wiring, you're missing the point of STO. I'm pretty sure there is a specification on the number of power cycles per hour that Kinetix drives should have; the STO circuit is there so you don't bump into that limit. You could potentially harm the drive with too many power cycles in too short a time. Use a safety relay in place of the safety contactor to control the drive STO circuit. As far as alarm/resets go, if the drive cannot be configured to self-reset after an STO event, you may have to add relays / PLC logic to do so. \\n


### Human: Kinetix 5700 CONECTING state stuck Summary: The servodrive kinetix 5700 connected to a MPL-B680D-M motor first time setup.Hi I'm doing the first setup of a 2198-S086-ERS3 kinetix 5700 connected to a MPL-B680D-M motor and it has also a 2198-P070 servo power supply. It is stuck at the CONECTING state, the power supply also stop at the same state. I look the Logix Designer modules information and there is no clue of an error. ### Assistant: What else is in your Motion Group? Do you have another axis in the motion group where the drive is not physically present or the motor not connected? In Rockwell's implementation of CIP Motion, all axes must detect their physical drives / motors or you'll get stuck exactly where you are. To get around this, you can inhibit the missing drive in the IO tree. If a drive is inhibited, the Motion Group will ignore it. If the drive is not inhibited and is missing at the type of system power-up, you get the problem you have. \\n


### Human: PowerFlex 753 with 20-750-ENETR Summary: Communications question.I have a PowerFlex 750 with the 20-750-ENETR option module installed. I have set the IP address using the parameters, have left the digi-switches at 999, and set parameter 5 to 1 - parameters. The ethernet cable is connected to a plant network hub, and I have yet to add the drive to the ControlLogix tree in the program. The Mod and Net A leds are flashing green. I have been unable to ping the drive at the address that is set. Is the drive able to be pinged, or do I need to get it connected to my PLC. Thanks. ### Assistant: I forgot - are the ports in the plant network switch allowing traffic to get through? Best way to test is for you to connect your computer directly to the drive, eliminating all other variables. Put your computer on the same subnet as you gave the drive, and ping it. If you can do that, the problem is external to the drive. \\n


### Human: Kinetix 300 backup I've to go on a site where the end user would like me to connect to some Kinetix 300 drives there installed, to save a backup copy of the configurations. Do I need a special software / interface to connect? Thank you. ### Assistant: You need a computer and web browser which supports the JAVA that runs on the K300. Take a look at these two KB articles: https://rockwellautomation.custhelp.com/app/answers/answer_view/a_id/621621/loc/en_US https://rockwellautomation.custhelp.com/app/answers/answer_view/a_id/67516 They have some other useful article links. Point your browser to the IP address of the drive and MotionView will in theory start. If it does start, then you can use MotionView to archive the K300 program. If it doesn't start, you now must head down the rabbit hole of trying to make that Java work on your browser. #K300 #MotionView #Java \\n


### Human: Ultra 3000i Tuning Issue Summary: Servo positions correctly has high pitch whine while holding position.I have an MPL-A430H-M servo on an Ultra 3000i Sercos Drive. Motor functions and positions great and has no instability and accurate positioning. In between cycling as it is holding it's position it has a high pitch whine.

### Human: Powerflex 753 Datalink Summary: Cannot configure datalnk 1 to read amps of driveI have a 20-COMM-PBUS card in port 6 of aPowerfles 753. In the host parameters of the option card I want to modify Par 17 Datalink 1 to read amps Par 3 of port 0. When ever I try to edit this parameter i get a DPI error, Object State Conflict ### Assistant: Isn't parameter 3 of a 753 motor velocity feedback? I see parameter 7 of port 0 as motor current. That said, I don't know why either of those would cause a state conflict. Is the parameter being used already in another datalink? Are you trying to set these while the drive is running? I don't think you can do that; drive must be stopped in many cases when editing parameters. You might try setting the parameter off line, then downloading to the drive (unless you're doing this through the HIM). I tested this using a 20-750-ENETR but I don't know why it would be different for a 20-COMM-PBUS. \\n


### Human: comm failure Summary: 22-COMM-E card failure on powerflex 40PI have had several of these cards fail. Changing the comm card does'nt work. I have to change the card and the drive. Its not an IP issue with the replacement card. Not a firmware issue either. I had thought it might be the internal power supply in the drive for the comm card. Drive works from terminal strip or I can control from CCW. Any thoughts? ### Assistant: If you can connect with CCW to the drive, you're using a 1203-USB to do so? If you can see the drive using the 1203-USB, what does CCW tell you about the 22-COMM-E cards? Does it recognize that one is installed in the drive? \\n


### Human: Powerflex 525 Output voltage Lower than rating Summary: Powerflex 525 Output voltage Lower than ratingHello, regarding the specs of the powerflex 525, if the output Voltage specifications says :0..460V, 3 Phases, I am guessing I can use this to drive a 230VAC motor? I have an application where I have 480VAC and a 230VAC motor. There are PF525 with 120VAC 1 Phase input, 3 phase 230VAC output but that requires to upsize my 120VAC transformer. If I can just put the 230VAC motor on a 480VAC drive, my transformer will keep a reasonable size. Thanks! Antoine ### Assistant: I would recommend reading this technote: https://rockwellautomation.custhelp.com/app/answers/answer_view/a_id/516206/loc/en_US Luckily, it is an article listed for everyone. Short answer is that it is theoretically possible but you're most likely going to burn up the motor. The 230V motor most likely will have insulation rated for 230V, not 460V. A stepdown transformer and 230V VFD is the correct solution for that motor. Alternatively, get a 480V motor to eliminate the stepdown transformer. If you decide to try using the 230V motor on the 460V VFD, let us know how well it worked and how long the motor lasted before frying (if it did). I'm not being facetious - you might learn something that all of us could use. \\n


### Human: PowerFlex 700S doesn't spin motor Summary: PowerFlex 700S running, without alarms, but doesn't spin motor - Hi guys, -We have a PowerFlex 700S Phase II Frame 10 Cat: 20D385A0ENNBNGNE, where with the speed reference, and running, sometimes doesn't spin motor. We had checked parameters 125,126, (Torque Pos Limit and Torque Neg Limit) and both are ok, wiring, (optic fiber) are ok. When the issue appears, it's possible to see on the High Power Fiber Optic Interface circuit board the fibers U,V,W and others blinking when grow up the speed reference, but the motor doesn't spin. It's possible a hardware problem? ### Assistant: What mode are you running the 700S? Flux Vector or V/Hz? If Flux Vector, try running an auto-tune. \\n


### Human: SMC Flex - displays At Speed but no rotation Summary: When start is sent, it sounds like it is starting and displays At Speed but the motor doesn't spin and it shows its only drawing 4 ampsWhen start is sent, it sounds like it is starting and displays At Speed but the motor doesn't spin and it shows its only drawing 4 amps. 480 VAC, usually draws around 200 amps when running. There are two faults in the fault queue, but I am not sure they are related: ### Assistant: Has this SMC Flex been running for some time and suddenly stopped working correctly, or is this a new installation and you're in the middle of commissioning? If it's been running for some time, is it controlled from a PLC? Has PLC coding changed such that a stop command is being sent to the SMC Flex? Is there voltage on all three output phases when it's running? Do you have a clamp meter to independently measure output current on each output phase? Check this tech note and in the user manual (link to the manual is in the technote): https://rockwellautomation.custhelp.com/app/answers/answer_view/a_id/545305/loc/en_US \\n

### Human: Kinetix 5700 - 2198-D006-ERS4 v13.003 - EDS File Summary: EDS file for v32.03Hello, I am looking for the EDS file for the kinetix 5700 2198-D006-ERS4 in version 13.003 for Logic Designer v32.03. On the rockwell support there is marked that these versions are compatible. However, I cannot select a version greater than 11.xxx. I have installed the latest AOP. Would it be too recent to be in AOP? Can you help me? Thanks. ### Assistant: There could be something wrong within compatibility website... I found a technote indicating you cannot use that firmware with v32: to work with a Kinetix 5700 servodrive firmware 13, Studio 5000 version 33 is required. [Ref.

### Human: PowerFlex 755 not turning motor Summary: PowerFlex 755 will not spin motor, HMI shows RPMs thoughWe have a PowerFlex 755 that is not spinning the motor. The HMI and the analog display on cabinet show RPMs though there is no movement on motor. When checking for voltage there is nothing coming out of the VFD to the motor. We checked all the parameters, fuses, timers, the issue is with VFD. The HMI doesn't show any faults, the STS light blinks green. Any suggestions? ### Assistant: What mode have you set the drive? Are you in V/Hz, Sensorless Vector, Flux Vector / Open Feedback, or Flux Vector Encoder Feedback? If you're in ANYTHING other than V/Hz, did you perform a motor auto-tune? From where is your analog display getting its signal to show RPM? Let's start with these questions and build from there. \\n


### Human: Servo motor, cable, driver Series A vs Series B Summary: The diffrence between of Series A vs Series B of servo motor, cable, driverHello all, I am confused when I am seeing the name plate of motor, cable, and driver of servo system of Allen-bradley. There are two series A and Series B. And I already tried to search the manual but don't find the answer. Someone, please help me to explain the difference between two series. Really appreciated. Thank you! ### Assistant: Welcome to the Forum ! When a product maintains the same part number and only the series changes, it reflects changes in manufacturing process and/or parts used in its assembly. These changes maintain or improve the quality and performance of the product and should not affect its performance. In order to understand which differences are between two series of a product, you can try to post specific item codes. Sometimes products of different series are directly replaceable, sometimes not. - 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.
