<s>[INST] Opto outputs on a Flex 40 drive to a PLC input. Can the opto outputs (17 or 18) be wired directly to a PLC input? Since the opto outputs are sinking signals, I assume the PLC input would have to be sourcing? Am I correct in this assumption? [/INST] Yes, your assumption is correct. Your PLC should be able to see 0 volt as a true signal. Anyway, there is a possibility to invert the logic signal, to use instead a sinking input, that is a more used module. If you are interested in it, please send me a Private Message here in the forum with your e-mail address and I will send you back some indications. Hope this helps… - fuzzy logic \\n </s> |
<s>[INST] Kinetix 5100, change speed depending of position and sensor We have the following: 1 micro820 PLC, 2 Kinetix 5100 drive with TLP servomotor, 1 sensor PNP NO The operation is as follows: Servomotor 1 and 2 are at constant speed. when they exceed a certain position servomotor 1 must decrease speed and servomotor 2 must increase speed, when stops detecting a sensor both return at a constant speed, once it detects the sensor again it resets its position, starts the cycle again.

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

<s>[INST] Motion Instructions Help - Tracking Summary: Need some help with tracking a moving belt I have an bottle diverter application where a servo axis diverts bottles to a new lane based on count. In its previous versions we read the speed of the conveyor under the servo axis. This conveyor was typically driven by a Powerflex drive. We took the actual frequency of the drive, converted it to Inches/second, then at the proper bottle count we executed a MAM instruction to the servo. Worked fairly well, but trying to improve the system. We are now using K6500 servos so there is a lot more capability. The system will also have an 842E-CM encoder as a master feedback axis from the conveyor. I have not done a lot of (any) motion that is cammed or geared. So I am looking for the simplest way to slave my diverter servos to the master feedback encoder. The diverter has a maximum stroke or around 30, so my previous application asked for a MAM to a position of 30, at a speed matching the belt. Accel and decel units were for the most part arbitrary. It looks like I could use a MDAC instruction in conjunction with my original MAM instructions, and set the speed of the MAM to be 1, with speed units being Units per MasterUnit ? Would this be the simplest approach ? The end result I am looking for is that for the 30 inches that the diverter is tracking the conveyor it would be completely locked to the conveyor. IF conveyor slowed down or stopped the diverter slave axis would also slow down or stop. Upon restart it should continue the motion until it finishes it. Thanks for any input. [/INST] nan \\n </s> |

<s>[INST] Master/Slave Axis on CIP Motion PF755 Drive Summary: Slave-Master Using CIP Motion on PowerFlex 755 Drive.Hello Everyone, Simply: Is there a way to see the raw encoder counts coming into the PowerFlex 755 drive with a Dual Encoder Card? The only thing I see when the drive & axis have been setup is the scaled Actual Position. I'm working on a project in my office as a proof of concept. (I've listed the hardware and software which I'm using at the bottom of the post). I want to create a Master-Slave system where I can move the master encoder to an angle from 0 to 90 degrees with my hand. The slave motor will follow the motion from 0 to 90 degrees. I am confident in how to program the PLC system to make this work once I can access the raw counts from the Dual Encoder Card. I've attached a One-Note drawing showing a general look at the system. Hardware: Guard Logix 5580 Controller (1756-L82ES). PowerFlex 755 AC Drive with Embedded Ethernet/IP & Safe Speed Card (20G11NB2P2JA0NNNNN). Dual Encoder Card DENC-1. Universal Feedback Card UFB-1. 3 Phase AC Motor. Push Button Switch. Software: Studio 5000 Logix Designer Version 31. RSLinx Classic Version 3.51.00 or Later. [/INST] Unless I've missed something new in V31/V32 Logix, you cannot do what you've diagrammed. Even though all the hardware is there, Rockwell does not permit the master axis to come in through a PF755 port. I've wanted to do what you've diagrammed for several different projects. Only Kinetix drives permit the master axis to come in through a drive (K6500, K6200, K5700, and the old K2000). You CAN do this if you do not use CIP Motion. PF755 has the ability to do electronic gearing without a motion processor. As soon as you go CIP motion, you cannot. Sounds like a Catch-22, doesn't it? If you want CIP motion and a master encoder, you'd have to use one of these: https://ab.rockwellautomation.com/Motion-Control/Integrated-Motion-on-EtherNet-IP-Absolute-Encoder They are NOT inexpensive, and I'm not at all sure they're worth the cost. We've done a number of applications with PF755 drives controlled as standard drives executing electronic gearing using the 16 Datalink pairs and some MSG instructions. It's not quite as elegant as CIP motion instructions, but it works. \\n </s> |

<s>[INST] Two drives driving the same axe I have an application with a drum driven by two wheels. each wheel has a motor and each motor an independent PF700 drive. drives are communicating via devicenet.Problem is that speed is initialy set at same setpoint.

<s>[INST] Tuning out the noise on 2098-dsd-010x I had two servo drives installed on the same machine to replace an air cylinder and a stepper motor assembly. The Servo Controllers are 2098-dsd-010x and they were connected to TLY A230THJ62AA series servo motors. With one servo motor installed and running everything ran perfect.When the second Servo controller and motor were installed I could see blips on the I/O connections to the SLC 5/04 PLC. The Vendor that was assisting us in this conversion tried a couple of things that didn't work and then made a phone call and came back and adjusted the tuning feature in the Ultraware Software program, which eliminated the blips on the I/O.I now have four more machines to convert and was hoping someone could point me to a technote or had some tips to offer on tuning these controllers to eliminate the noise so there are no hiccups or intermittent problems with the I/O. TIA Jim [/INST] Sounds like your vendor did a little hand waving... I haven't had any experiences (with any brand or model) such that motor tuning affected I/O cabling. Generally, these problems are associated with wiring routing, grounding/shielding termination or other basic installation practices that were skipped or installed poorly.

<s>[INST] Powerflex 755 - Input Module Explosion Summary: Issues involving the performance of the new Powerflex 755- productsGood Morning, I came here to find more information or suggestions regarding the last issue that we had in our plant. We have five Powerflex 75HP drives running pulp pumps. The electrical room has HVAC and optimal temperature and humidity conditions. Last week we had a sudden failure in one of the powerflex 700 drives, it had been in service for more than four years, and we haven't had any events during its normal operation. We began doing an extensive inspection and we found a hotspot in one of the modules, and one of the IGBTs were damaged. So far it was an isolated event but during last week we have two additional explosions of two new powerflex 755 drives. The whole rectifier module was damaged, and we guess it has something to do with the pre-charge circuit. We have lost three drives and we want to make sure that our installation is reliable. The typical installation scheme for our plant includes the input circuit breaker an output contactor and reactance. We did an extensive inspection of the ground scheme with no issues. We only found no PE-B jumper installed on the drives but we don´t think this has something related to the input module failure. What do you suggest?. How do you improve the MTTF of our drives (typical 3- 5 years ). ? Did anyone had a similar experience?. What did you install to reduce the probability of a sudden failure?. Does the new family powerflex 755 demand more from the installation in comparison with the powerflex 700 drives. Thank you for your comments or suggestions, Best Regards, Daniel Riascos. [/INST] If your supply is solidly grounded, then both the PE-A and PE-B jumpers should be installed. If it is not solidly grounded, then both jumpers should be removed. Rockwell has NEVER been able to adequately explain why they ship drives in an indeterminate state with one jumper installed and one removed. It's both IN, or both OUT, according to Rockwell's own literature. It just doesn't make sense. The jumper configuration could play a role in your failures. The output contactor is a different problem. Is there any chance the contactor opened while the drive was still running? If the contactor opens before the drive is disabled, you could blow up the drive. You must make sure the drive run command is removed before opening the output contactor. You would do better to move the contactor to the input side of the drive, or better yet use safe-torque-off option card and eliminate the output contactor entirely. \\n </s> |

Preset Selects 0 through 5 contribute a binary value when a digital input becomes active. The drive sums the binary values and uses the resulting integer to determine which Preset to activate. The drive uses only the Preset Select 0, 1 and 2 binary values (yielding values 0 – 7) when the drive’s Operation mode is set to Preset Position, Preset Velocity, Preset Current and Preset Follower (Gearing Ratio). The digital input Preset Select binary values are as follows: • Preset Select 0 = 1 if active, 0 if not. • Preset Select 1 = 2 if active, 0 if not. • Preset Select 2 = 4 if active, 0 if not. So, if you activate only the input configured as Preset Select 1, you run Preset 2 (the binary value of this select is 2).Again, if you activate only the input configured as Preset Select 2, you run Preset 4. Well, to obtain what you want, you have to activate the input configured as Preset Select 0 to start Preset 1 and only Preset Select 1 when you want to start Preset 2. :smileysurprised: See also the attached table...

But the problem is, it is not generating output frequency as commanded frequency. all the motor data parameters are checked properly drive is getting start command and also taking reference frequency from PLC and HIM is also showing at reference rotating forward but stil 0 output frequency. An encoder module is also installed for positioning purpose. In logic mask only port 1, port 5, port4 and port 14 are enable. In Auto masking port 5 and port 14 are enable. In manual masking only port 1 is enable. all digIns are disabled. max freq is default and no skip frequencies present no trim freq settings are defaults. plzzz suggest me what could possibly be the reason of it. Main control board is also new v13.00 frn and same net module is working perfectly in different drive. thanks.. [/INST] Did this axis work at one time, but now does not?

<s>[INST] Recommended Configuration of Axes & Coordinates - AB Studio 5000 Motion Control Hi all, I would greatly appreciate any recommendations for appropriate configuration of axes and coordinates to enable control of the following 2D plotting device. There's two physical axes: 1.) A rotary axis sets angular location of an arm. 2.) On the arm is a linear actuator that sets the length/extension of the arm. At the end of the arm is a pen. What we would like to do is specify a pattern to be drawn in cartesian X, Y coordinates and for the PLC to do the necessary transforms and move the physical axes. According to AB Studio 5000 documentation we: 1.) Setup physical axes - OK 2.) Create coordinate system - Ahhgh... our geometry is not supported! Any recommendations on how to configuration the axes and coordinates for this machine? Thank you, Chris.

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.

<s>[INST] Event Task Vs. JSR Summary: When to use Event Task or JSR Hello All, I am curious about the application of an Event Task versus a JSR. I recognize the following differences / characteristics: Event Task Can have a watchdog. Can be prioritized. Executes in 7uS on an L24 Output update overhead can be temporarily disabled. JSR Can pass parameters. Executes in 2.53uS on an L24. Both functions deviate from the present program and return after they are finished, correct? Discounting the above mentioned characteristics, how do the two differ? Is the EVENT the proper choice for handling a (relatively) high speed interrupt on an L24? It would appear the command itself takes longer. Any help is greatly appreciated. Casey H. [/INST] http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/pm/1756-pm005_-en-p.pdf This manual talks about your question. Refer to page 33 of this link for Event Tasks. The intent is to use them sparingly. Quoting from the very first paragraph, the introduction, of this chapter: An event task, if configured correctly, interrupts all other tasks for the minimum amount of time required to respond to the event. Use event tasks too often and you could see adverse effects on things like the continuous task scan time. A JSR lets you jump to a different routine in the same program. An Event trigger lets you jump to a whole different Task, with all of its programs, and all of their routines. \\n </s> |

<s>[INST] Single Phase Output on Drives Has anyone ever tried to single phase out a PowerFlex drive, or know of what needs to be done to try this? I didn't think it was possible, but a customer has been doing it with a Moeller drive (440/460V) and was also told by the local Siemens distributor that their drives can do it up to 230V. Any suggestions? Is there perhaps a unique firmware configuration that would have the IGBTs firing off in a single phase configuration as oppose to a 3-phase? If this is possible, it would create a new motor control market. Cheers. [/INST] The output phase angle of these drives is 120 degress per phase which will not work with single phase motors. You can get a single phase motor to rotate if it is unloaded, but it will not produce much torque. Drives that are designed to control single phase motors must be used. I have used a drive to control a single phase permanent split-capacitor motor, but that required bringing one of the capacitor leads out of the motor and connecting it to the third output phase of the drive. The cap didn't last very long having to deal with the PWM. \\n </s> |

<s>[INST] Constant Force (Torque) Application I have a customer who has specified Kinetix Servos with an application that requires a force that is within 10% accurate and must hold that torque for a required amount of time. At any point, the system may need to adjust that torque. The torque feedback sensors will be TBD load cells. I'm working to convince this customer to utilize air cylinders with electronically adjustable regulators. I've done the math and am certain I can hit the requirement with air cylinders. Have any of you seen a Kinetix system utilized to create an accurate holding torque? I have never really used a servo system in this topology. Thanks! Seth [/INST] Fuller, I'm not a motion guy so there could be a better and newer solution.... About 10 years ago, I consulted on a Servo torque application that had load cell to measure force via 1734 Point IO. We could set a torque limit on the servo and observe the force on the load cell. Although the torque (current) per pound force would vary (due to motor heat, etc.) we had a good starting point to close in on the desired holding torque. The logic used an initial torque setting that would be slightly below the desired torque. Then it would measure the force on the load cell and increment the torque limit,,, repeat till it approached the desired force. The logic was a periodic task, if the force was below the target, then add to the torque limit... repeat as necessary. You could speed it up by making the task faster, or making the (torque) step size larger. The servo allowed us to quickly move into position where the part would contact the load cell using a low initial torque and the ramp up the to the final torque using the integrator logic. \\n </s> |

<s>[INST] Does a Stratix 8000 GB Port Trunk line provide management without setup? I have a machine network that has been having very intermittent issues. The original configuration was 4 Stratix 8000 switches set up in a ring configuration (not to be confused with DLR it is not set up that way) with the trunk line connecting to the giga ports. Each of these switches branched off to various phoenix contact unmanaged switches via their fast ethernet ports and then to all the devices on the machine network. Although the ring remains, 3 of the 4 stratix switches were changed out for unmanaged phoenix contact switches. This network has been this way for a while now. I was told by one of the responsibles for this machine they didn't believe any of the management functions were being used on the stratix's so that is why they just been replacing them with the phoenix switches on failure. It doesn't SEEM like it outwardly causes an issue and I went online to the one remaining Stratix switch and couldn't see any of the management features being used. All this being said when I referred to the print of the network layout it referred to this ring as a network managed ring circuit. So I guess my question is do these Stratix switches provide some level of management through these giga ports without any additional setup? There must be a reason for this ring configuration to be used. [/INST] Stratix managed switches by default (OOB) have spanning tree enabled (protecting against loops). As you mentioned you went online to the switch, I assume an express setup has been performed. This also enables and configures lots of other features in the background like spanning tree protection mechanisms, alarming, QoS, CIP management protocol, HTTP/HTTPS webpage management, IGMP multicast management, ... Spanning tree prevents loops and provides a single path of communication between devices by blocking the alternate port on the ring. When a link fails, the switch detects this and will open the alternate port to restore communication. It is advised to monitor (manage) the network so that when a network failure happens, you are alerted about it and know you need to fix it. When the network is not being monitored, you will not know about it until a second fault occurs and production stops anyway, defeating the purpose of using a ring topology (it only buys some time). Adding unmanaged switches to a ring can result in unexpected behavior as they do not support any loop prevention protocol, like in this case spanning tree. They will not notify the other switches on what path to open/close when connection faults occur, nor do they provide any status information. There are many reasons why a managed switch could be beneficial, like diagnostics & troubleshooting (it helps you find the reason of the intermittent connections issues, shows status of ports, ...), loop prevention, security, .... Stratix managed switches can also be integrated into Logix controllers to provide additional information. This can also be monitored via faceplates on an HMI running FTView.\n </s> |
<s>[INST] PowerFlex 4 drive failures Just since the first of the year, nine drives have failed; all with the code F122. These drives have been running since 2007 with no problems. Aside from drive fatigue (just worn out), what might be causing these failures? [/INST] F122 is usually related to component failure on the control board. I suspect that the fault code was chosen because 50 Celsius = 122 Fahrenheit. :robotvery-happy: I've seen this in drives that were mounted without sufficient clearance for airflow, or put into an unvented enclosure in direct summer sunshine. Above about 120F you're going to have premature component failure after a few weeks or months of operation. High levels of electrical noise can also damage control board components.

Is the shield landed directly on the VFD (as it should be)? Is the motor end of the shield also landed on the motor (as it should be)? Is the ground wire running back from the motor landed directly on the VFD (as it should be)? \\n </s> |
<s>[INST] CompactLogix L43 with PowerFlex 4 on 22-SMC-232 Guys,Anyone knows how to setup CompactLogix DF1 port for serial communication with PowerFlex 4 through 22-SMC-232? Customer is using 22-SMC as RTU Master. The only time when i got any action on the converter module is when CompactLogix DF1 is set as DH485. Just want to make sure i'm on the correct path here...thanks for any help.ReagrdsRobert [/INST] The controller serial port should be configured to use DF1 protocol, as the 22-SCM-232 provides both media (RS232 to RS485) and protocol (DF1 to Modbus RTU) conversions.I suggest to review the 22-SCM-232 User Manual , chapter 3 and 4 for all the settings, App. H for an example about the Powerflex control from ControlLogix / Compactlogix serial port. Hope this helps… - fuzzy logic \\n </s> |

Summary: If an axis has a hard overtravel fault but the machine is in its normal working range. What could be one problem? If an axis has a hard overtravel fault but the machine is in its normal working range. What could be one problem? [/INST] The limit switch is not connected - broken wire or something similar. The drive requires a Normally Closed (NC) contact, but the limit switch is wired Normally Open (NO) That's two. It would help if you gave more information, such as drive model number. \\n </s> |
<s>[INST] PowerFlex 70EC There is an issue at my work place. This is related to the pump we have and I want to know how to adjust the setting in the parameter for this issue. The pump is running off the pressure, and the pump modulates the speed to compensate with the pressure. We're running the pump in manual mode and the frequency on the VFD is 50 Hz. We also have a valve cranked 45 degree to supply the water to other area. Every time we're having a power outage it needs someone to manually reset the VFD and raise the frequency from 15 Hz to 50 Hz. If we're running the VFD in auto mode when there is a power outage the VFD will stay on at 15 Hz the whole time. I want to know how to adjust the 15 Hz to 50 Hz in auto mode and not having somebody to reset the drive manually from 15 Hz to 50 Hz. Any suggestion in this scenario? [/INST] Hi Lee, I replied in another your other thread. Thanks \\n </s> |
