I'm along the same thought path as you Phillip that the device cant be directly controlled but the safe link network and I need to use the safety controller for dump valve control Thanks for your reply Andy ------------------------------ @ndy ------------------------------

Hi, i have a question regarding the new guard link system as far as i understand this is a device based system, you start with a string of taps and these taps are defined as nodes (last node has a terminator plug fitted) each tap is connected to a single device, this sounds simple if ...

Hi All when using a two hand control function in a safety PLC you have 2 sensors that provide the 2 safety inputs. in all the documentation that i have seen these sensors normally have 1 NC & 1 NO contacts, i assumed that the reason for this was so a positive change in state is seen for each ...

Hi Sean Your suggestion sounds like a good option to allow a station to accept any tool and recipe control as you suggest would be vital. by having a recipe containing the tuned parameters your covering mechanical differences with the tool, i like that. do you think the same approach would ...

Hi Vincent Thank you for your reply, i have seen some information on RAKB regarding the changing of parameters that may be useful. changing parameters directly may be the way to go with a single station i.e if i had Station A and Tool A & B If i wanted to expand the scope to cover an ...

I have a servo that operates a module on a machine and this module is not always used on all products. if the module (but not the servo) was removed when not in use and potentially an alternate module fitted, would it be possible to have 2 sets of parameters for the same servo? Could ...

Hi Vincent looking into the history of the design it originally had K6000 drives so this would explain why it remained in the K5500 configuration that it had when i started looking at this which aligns with your comment, i will need networked safety so K5500 will be the way to go. thank you ...

Hi I have a requirement to migrate kinetix 5700 drives onto the 5500 platform, initially it looks pretty straight forward but the 5700 drives have a configurable input setup as an external enable, unfortunately this enable input is not available on the 5500 drives. Both models of drives are ...
