<s>[INST] Kinetix 5500 using POINTIO digital input as home sensor Summary: using digit input as home sensorIs it possible to use a digital input acquired by a POINTIO as homing sensor for Kinetix 5500? (avoiding wiring the home sensor straight into the drive) [/INST] There's a couple of options. Jog the axis and execute an MRP (on actual position) when the sensor goes high, followed by an absolute MAM to your home position. The home offset would be accounted for in the position you give the MRP instruction. Set the axis homing for passive-immediate and follow the first option, except use an MAH in place of the MRP. This method will set AxisHomedStatus if you need to use that elsewhere. In either case, the accuracy will be affected by the delay of the sensor input, your code and the coarse update rate, multiplied by the speed at which you're jogging. Jogging as slow as possible would obviously improve that. With a little more code, you can have a faster approach speed followed by slower homing speed which mimics a normal bidirectional active-switch/marker homing method. \\n </s> |
<s>[INST] Fault Kinetix 6500 Hello my friends. I have a problem and I hope you can help me. Why does a Servodrive remain in Stand by status? and it cannot be corrected, the only way is to turn off the entire machine (including PLC) and only then will the servo drive return to its Running working state. And it is not just 1 servo drive, it is random, it should be noted that the machine has 120 servo drives controlled by 2 L73 processors and 2 1756-EN3TR modules. And this happens when we turn off a drive rail for various reasons, after cleaning, changing a servo drive, etc., and when we reconnect the control power of that rail, there is 1 servo drive (it can be any) that starts in the STAND state. BY and it is impossible to return it to its working state and the only way is turning off the whole machine or the PLC. It should also be noted that it does not always happen, there are times when it starts up fine, but when it happens, a lot of time is lost to make the machine operational again. The ethernet communication is also correct, since I PING the IP of the drive in STAND BY, and it is correct. I have to point out that the 1756-L73/B PLCs have fw 21.011, the 1756-EN3TR/B modules have fw 10.010, and the Kinetix 6500 servo drives have fw 3.003. Thanks so much. [/INST] Hello GAAM With a large servo drive architecture like yours it is hard to identify the source issue without being on site. Because there are a number of things that can go wrong in a large system if not correctly managed. Basically, the standby issue means that the drive is waiting to receive configuration data from the controller. it is a communication issue at startup, So we have 4 possible sources of this communication problem, the controller, the ethernet Card, the switch or the drive. 1st : What is the Logix Version , and Drives FW used in your system? 2nd: Does this issue as always exist? or is that recent? have you made any changes on this machine (new HW, network changes...etc)? 3rd: Connect with Studio 5000 and check the standby drives information's and status, look also at the extended fault information's. look at the fault history to see if there is not multiple faults cascaded. 4th: What is the CUP (Coarse Update Period) of the Motion Groupe. 5th: does the issue occurs only on a specific group of axes associated to one of the EN3TR ? 6th: Where Time Grand Master is located (EN3TR's or Controller or somewhere else ?) 7th: What switch are you using? 8th: When you turn off the Drives Power supply control. Does that power off the switch aswell ? Thanks for the feedback Regards \\n </s> |

<s>[INST] Using MAJ instruction when a MAG is already active Hi everyone, I'm actually trying to torubleshoot a Tension control system created for an OEM and the way it actually works is gearing the axis with a virtual master and then after passing a defined speed they are enabling the tension control and beginning using MAJ instruction with a speed value calculated using a PIDE instruction using like input the tension provided by a load cell and a defined tension Setpoint I know that we can superimpose a MAJ instruction in an active MAG but I need to know how it is going to work?. What I'm actually seeing is the axis running at aprox 5000 degrees/Sec (close to the Virtual Master speed * gear ratio) and values in the speed of the MAJ instruction oscillating between -15 and 15 (completely far from the actual velocity value around 5000 degrees/sec). How this MAJ instruction is actually working?. Thanks in advance for all your comments adn if you think more info or clarification is required please let me know. [/INST] Hello Munoz this is a common way of doing tension control system, the feedback may vary a lot and features as well. but most of the time it's the use of the move compensation or/and outer loop control equation, that could be more or less complex depending on the application requirement in term of dynamic and accuracy of the control. Some use directly the gearing factor to track the setpoint, of some like in your case use the Superimposed movement. So in your case the JOG (MAJ) is used as a superimposed movement on top of the actual movement (MAG). This is possible thanks to the great Logix/Kinetix motion control system implementation. Internally the movement are all incremental and they can be summed before being sent to the output command for the Servo Drive this the magic part. see bellow diagram So if you have a MAG running on your axis you are still able to apply another movement like a jog, and the sum of the 2 movements are sent to the axis drive. This is possible also because of the incremental internal treatment. So this is very simple in fact... nothing special a, a MAJ can be superimposed to any actual motion movement running on the actual axis. the end result will be the sum of those movement. so your axis run a 5000 deg/sec and each time your algorithm requests it, a superimposed Jog of + or - 15 deg/s will be applied. Depending on the code this could be executed once or multiple time in the row (that will impact the dynamic and the compensation capability). But that needs to be controlled in a nice way to avoid any overshoot or pumping effect that can conduct to uncontrolled motion, since you are using an outer loop control system. Does that help to understand. so, your velocity command will vary with increments of 15deg/s (pos or Neg) to make the load cell matching your load setpoint. I hope that helps regards \\n </s> |
<s>[INST] Questions regarding the MAPC master lock position and cam lock position Hi, I'm setting up a motion axis with MAPC motion instruction. We are programming a derrick crane's main boom hoist axis to maintain a constant horizontal movement speed. The virtual/master axis is the boom reach radius, and the physical/slave axis is the boom hoist motor. The picture below illustrates what the setup looks like. I have run a couple of tests to see how it works, but the motion axis seems to be struggling to follow the actual cam profile I entered in the Cam Editor window. I believe the issue is my lack of understanding of the master lock position and cam lock position. I read a tech note in Rockwell's knowledge base, but I still cannot relate that to my actual setup. So any insight would be greatly appreciated. Other parameters are the start slope and end slope in the cam editor window. What is the purpose of these two parameters? how do they impact the cam profile? Thanks! [/INST] EDIT: linkified for convenience -FL Zhang, The key to making this work is have a CAM... which is the relationship between the input/output which are unitless. When you get into xy or polar, then you might look at translation of coordinate systems. Logix has some built-in translations for coordinate systems... This one might work for your application where J3 is always vertical. Prior these defined geometries we would just write the vector loop equations. This is typically two equations with 2 unknowns so you can create a substitution and solve for the position equation in terms of the input (actuator). You can Google Vector Loop Equation... here are some results: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-HItSmJlc4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiMwPjlV0jw&list=PLTMo3nrl2KWYntt5n6DCA28B-CMqbl9S2&index=4 \\n </s> |

( Bit 4 says it was accelerating but i was told it was running at a constant speed.) the unit firmware is Rev 4.01 Ser B Any ideas on what might be the cause of the intermittent trips? [/INST] It could be a configuration problem.How is the drive controlled (Hard Wired or Digitally)?What Dynamic Control Mode has been chosen?Is there any feedback device attached to the motor?Is it a direct drive application or there is a gear reducer between the motor and the wheel?How long the load side of the drive wiring is and how old? From my personal experience, since we've been extensively involved in replacing tens of 1336 and 1392 Legacy VFDs with Architecture Class PF70s and 700s, we've also experienced quite a few nuisance trips on F12.Same scenario. The Fault Time Parameter Snapshot seemed to be okay.Tweaking the application files helped to some extent but didn't solve the problem.What did end the trips, and I know it sounds counterintuitive, too easy and pretty expensive, was the replacing of the drive's load side old field wiring and some of the motors!!!:smileysurprised.It was a last resort measure since the numerous electrical measurements of the physical electrical circuits never returned but normal readings.Further investigations led us to conclude that the length and age of the existing wiring couldn't withstand the new generation VFDs output form. A default PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) of 4kHz could very easily penetrate the adjacent phase weak insulation, combine with the existing modulator and generate a Hardware Overcurrent Fault. As for the high DC Bus voltage, you might want to invest into an isolation transformer. A line reactor (which I hope it is present on the line side of the drive) will filter drive generated EMI from the upstream feeder branch of the distribution system but it will not protect the VFD when experiencing high-voltage transients, brownouts or any other power supply temporary problems. \\n </s> |

As for the ability to execute them from Optix, yes it is technically possible. However, there is no specific native object from within Optix Studio to do this. I believe that is on the list for the future. Currently, to do this you would need to add a runtime NetLogic and write your own C# code to interact with the database and do things like stored procedure calls.

<s>[INST] Powerflex 70 electrical noise I am having a problem with electrical noise from the output of a pf70 that is affecting a metal detector in a food production line.

<s>[INST] Powerflex 755 Speed Synch I have an application in which two motor speeds need to be synchronized under varying loads. One motor is a 30HP and the other is 10HP. The 30HP is the master and carries the bulk of the load. The 10HP should run at the same speed as the master to assist with load. Each motor has a 1024ppr encoder on the shaft. The application could be described as a conveyor with a motor on the head and tail pullys. If the speed is not sych'ed the belt either bunches up or stretches. I think gearing would be the best solution in this case? If I wire each encoder to it's drive for closed loop vector control, do I need a splitter to send the master signal to the slave?

[/INST] When the ControlNet was scheduled, it generated a Keeper Signature and a Scanner Signature. The Keeper Signature was injected the online Keeper capable devices e.g. 1756-CNB, 1756-CN2, etc. The Scanner Signature was injected into your online CLX L72 processor. After successfully scheduling ControlNet, you must immediately upload from the CLX controller to your PC because the online controller has the (injected) Scanner Signature. If you do not upload after scheduling, then your offline ACD does not have the (injected) Scanner Signature and downing that ACD (without the Scanner key) will break your ControlNet connections. If you upload after scheduling, then you can download without breaking the scheduled connections. Once the Scanner Signature is captured in the offline file, you can change anything in that file and you will not break the scheduled ControlNet connections (unless you modify the ControlNet connections e.g. path, RPI, tag size). If you export your ACD file to a L5k or L5x and look at the ControlNet card, you will see the Scanner signature. This Scanner signature is not visible in the RSLogix5000 software, but it is generated and displayed in RSNetworx. If you don't upload the CLX after scheduling, then the ACD file on your PC will have the wrong Scanner Signature... By default it will be 16#0000_0000..

<s>[INST] Synchronization (motion) between three motors using 3 PowerFlex 525 VFDs and 3 encoders? Summary: 05BH00CB02AF encoders motion synchronizationI am trying to setup the motion tracking of a large platform using three motors controlled by three VFDs. These motors have to move at the same pace and be 100% synchronized otherwise the platform will break or the motors will get damaged. The drives are PowerFlex 525 with one encoder on each motor communicating with the encoder on the VFD. The encoder is 05BH00CB02AF. I am wondering what is the best way to sync the motion of these motors? and how to have safety check in place to stop the motion if one motor goes out of sync? I haven't seen the parameters from the encoders yet, but just wanted to check if Rockwell provides any modules that can handle motion synchronization? [/INST] You can't do this with 525 VFDs by themselves, but you could with 755s and some encoder splitters. In this scenario, one of the 3 motors would be the master and you would give speed commands to it. The other two motors will be slaves. The slaves will need two encoder cards (one for its encoder, one for the encoder signal coming from the master. The master encoder signal needs to go to the master drive and the two slaves, so you will need two encoder splitters to get three separate signal paths. Alternatively, you could use the PF755s and a single encoder card each, and also a CompactLogix processor capable of motion control - a 1769L30ERM or a 5069-L310ERM for instance. This eliminates the need for the encoder splitters and gives a lot more capability to the system, but at higher cost. I'm very partial to the compactlogix motion control approach. Going cheap on the application you describe will cost you in the end. 525 drives are not up to the task. \\n </s> |

I have a signal list and I am putting Jumper across XIC to active OTE in online program edits and seeing responses on SCADA. Putting jumper across XIC ( not IOs to force) taking me too much time to test the program online. Is there any easy way to Force each tags. Tags are not from IOs. Many of them are Internal and Soft signals derived from programs or Bacnet or modbus. [/INST] Most SCADA systems will read the PLC data even when it is in Program mode. You could go to Program mode and toggle the bits in ladder using CTRL+T, or set them form the data table. Maybe you can disable your Bacnet or Modbus communications so that the data is not being updated over the network, then change the bits as described above. Only I/O tags can be forced. You could do a cross-reference to find the place where the XIC is set, and keep going back until you find the origin of the tag, and force that. The logic scan is where the XIC OTE (and other instructions are evaluated). The Prog/Run keyswitch can be used globally for all logic in the controller. Or you can be more granular and inhibit a program, task, routine, or rung. Once the logic is inhibited, you can modify the tags directly w/o fighting with the logical scan where the logic would overwrite your data. The IO scan is used to update the IO-defined tags. If you inhibit an IO module in the IO tree, then you can directly command the tags for that IO module. If you have several IO modules under one (rack) adapter or bridge module... you can inhibit the rack or bridge module and then you can directly command those module. If you desire a more granular approach... If you force the IO, you can overwrite an individual the IO tag value.\n </s> |

<s>[INST] 10 HP Bucket Modification Question Hello, Was wanting to check and see what y'all thought about a potential modification to the bucket I have attached. We are looking to add another 10 HP motor to one of our tanks, and we are looking to have one motor run for a period of time, then turn off, and then start the other motor for a period of time. My management was wanting to see about the possibilities of using only one bucket to accomplish this. My thought was to add a couple of contactors with a mechanical interlock after the overloads on the power side of the circuit, and use my PLC to control what contactor is currently pulled in. Was wanting to see if there were any other ideas though, and if there were any concerns with my idea. Thanks, [/INST] Possible but IDK if I'd do it. The bucket wiring from the factory is UL and generally you don't want to modify it... especially the power circuit. Where are you going to put the two contactors? In a separate bucket, or remote.? Is this going to be confusing to troubleshoot or lockout/tagout? One motor is running while the other is not... it's Out of Service, OOS. How do you work on the OOS motor? e.g. Lockout/tagout. Maybe you could just order a bucket that was designed for this application. Disconnect, short circuit protection, one E300 OL ahead of two mechanically interlocked contactors... all in the same bucket... not any larger than a FVR bucket. Or, just use two bucket. \\n </s> |

<s>[INST] Serial Communications in LabVIEW are giving incorrect data compared to Ultraware Hey all, I am running into an issue with data that I see in Ultraware 3000 compared to what LabVIEW is reading when requesting the same information from the servo via serial communications. my LabVIEW code is basically taking the host commands for serial communication for Ultraware 3000 and sending commands to the servo. After I initialize communication on the serial port, I then query the servo for its interpolation (x000ED0 w/ checksum) and lines/rev (x000370 w/ checksum). The lines/rev returns correct but the interpolation is returning a value of 4 while Ultraware says the interpolation is set to 8. The reason I am querying these values is because I am trying to determine the total counts/rev for the servo's output shaft so I can set the servo to a desired output shaft speed or position without needing to worry about manually knowing what these values are for the servos I use. As far as I can tell, all other commands being sent to the servo work as expected except when I query the interpolation. Any help is greatly appreciated. Matt [/INST] Matt, I'm sure you've seen the serial communications manual. It seems you are reading data file dd =0x00 which is decode to 4 while UltraWare indicates 8 lines per revolution. You could use a RS232 tap to monitor the UltraWare traffic. But I suspect it is the same as your LabVIEW and either UltraWare is displaying it wrong or the documentations is wrong. Either way, I'd just verify your application is interpreting it correctly (even is the documentation or Ultraware is wrong). \\n </s> |
