Hi Kevin, I'd be more concerned with those Control Sync faults on the axis shown on the right, but here is what you can do with the feedback issue. You will have to first enable the webpage on the drive(s) in question using the drive's built-in faceplate (the LCD screen with the red buttons on the ...

Bryan, The answer to your first question is to apply the MRP (Motion Redefine Position) instruction on the virtual axis. The answer to your second question is more difficult. What you describing is our "Virtual Torque Sensor" feature, but it is not available on the K5500 drive. Maybe you could try ...

Thanks for understanding George, In looking at your ticket, there is a LOT more going on than just analog motion. Without knowing the faults, as I mentioned, I cannot offer any guidance, but IN GENERAL, there are some conditions that should be met before ANY motion instructions (including fault resets) ...

Hi George, At the risk of sounding like a broken record, you really need to contact our Tech Support with this issue. They can best gather the information they need to walk this through to a resolution. You have not mentioned what the faults are and they will need this. They will likely need your ...

John, Well, I need to backtrack on my comments above. The devices ARE included in the latest Power Device Libraries, but the installation process has changed. The installation of the Kinetix faceplates now requires the use of a (no charge) application called Studio 5000 Application Code Manager, or ...

John, It appears that there is an error in the packaging of the most recent Power Device Libraries on PCDC and the faceplates are indeed missing from the download. I am engaging the product manager to correct this error as I do not see a way to download an older version. Stay tuned, ------ ...

Alex, I would not make this change on the running system, but people have. ------------------------------ Motion Mike ------------------------------

Alex, In most cases, E2E Transparent Mode is the recommended mode for CIP Motion systems. Forward mode is NOT recommended as it does not account for packet transfer times and Boundary mode is only recommended for large systems that are leveraging routing. So be sure to run Express Setup, configure ...

Hi Skyler, I want to understand your question a little better. Is the problem that the 200mm model won't physically "fit" into your design? Because that unit can be programmed to only extend to 150mm, if needed. Please let me know. Otherwise, if you truly need a 150mm unit, please engage with your ...

stephane, Rockwell Automation does not offer a VPL motor with an ATEX rating, but our Technology Partner, Elwood Gettys, offers motors that do. Their website is Elwood High Performance Motors: Servo and Stepper Motors and you can find a list of their ATEX certified motors at https://www.elwood.com/sx.html. ...

Hi Paul, The only EtherNet/IP device that can be used as a feedback axis with CIP Motion is the 842E-CM (rotary) absolute encoder line. We cannot use the Temposonic device to get a CIP Motion feedback axis into the system over Ethernet. Depending on what problem you are trying to solve, there may ...

The PanelView Plus 7 cannot be used to connect directly to devices in this manner and requires a controller. Faceplate sets can be downloaded from the PCDC and consist of the controller AOI and the PVP7 graphic components. ------------------------------ Motion Mike ----------------------------- ...
