RE: Which 2080 to start with

Sorry to butt in, but I wanted some clarification: Is FT Design Workbench replacing CCW? Is it just a rebrand of CCW? Had not heard of FT Design Workbench until reading this post, but then I also have never actually worked with the Micro800 controllers. ------------------------------ Regards, RM ...

Stratix 5200 Random Phantom Fault

Found In Egroup: Networks \ view thread
Alright, this is an issue that pops up on different machines from time to time. Have seen it on Stratix 5700 and 5200. We do short press Express Setup and often leave it at that, but intermittently I get a fault from the switch (switch alarm relay wired to Point I/O or Flex 5000 Input). When I look in ...

RE: Servomotor position loss

In addition to Josh Hewitt's suggestion about the axis feedback configuration, I was also wondering whether you have your PLC loading from non-volatile memory on power-up and possibly overwriting the AxisHomedStatus. That was the gist of my question regarding PLC also powering down or just drives powering ...

Hi, So when you power the rack up again the AxisHomedStatus bit is low? The APRFault bit is high? Is this with only the servo rack powering down or is the PLC also being powered down? I am assuming Controllogix? What are the firmware versions of the Drive and of the PLC? I would not think changing ...

Have not seen the issue since forcing the port configuration of the EN2T to 100/Full. I guess that fixed it? Now that I have said that I fully expect it to come back within the next hour. Or fifteen minutes after I leave the machine tonight. ------------------------------ Regards, RM ----------- ...

RE: Powerflex 755 Alarm 49

Maybe I am being unintentionally obtuse, but isn't 49 just the drive powerup marker? Not really a fault per-se, just a message in the queue indicating power was cycled.

Point Status Bit(s) Flickering on 5094-IB16S

I have a 5094-IB16S with an E-Stop wired to points 0 and 1. Intermittently, as far as I can tell, one or both of the status bits drops out which causes the DCI instruction in safety to fault. The fault on the instruction when this happens is: So far I have noticed it happen 2-3 times per day ...

RE: Kinetix 5700 Dual axis, high current on one axis?

Are the motors coupled to load or are they free and showing the 5% and 35% current draw? One of the quickest sanity checks for me usually is to decouple from the load. Then when I figure out it was something stupid I did I just tell the builder that the coupler must not have been straight. :-P --- ...

I did not realize it, but seemingly there is a Profinet adapter for the PF525: https://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/um/520com-um005_-en-p.pdf Might simplify your life if the manual that Fuzzy pointed you to doesn't work for you. ------------------------------ ...

Instead of an AOI you could put the logic in a routine and JSR to it, passing values to it? Then the string inside the UDT is accessible. ------------------------------ Regards, RM ------------------------------

Not that I know of. Anything other than an Atomic data type (SINT, DINT, INT, REAL, BOOL) can only be passed by reference (InOut Parameter). EDIT: I suppose a really terrible workaround would be to pass each character as a SINT. ------------------------------ Regards, RM ---------------------- ...

Feels like a lot of effort for just a keep-alive, but you could potentially also use Open Socket communications between the PLC and IPC. Can you give us more information about the PLC and IPC, like model numbers or firmware versions? Is the IPC used for visualization into the PLC (HMI)? Is it exchanging ...
