RE: Logix5000 V20.05 Crashing

Posted By TheWizard Mar 29, 2024 08:06:07 AM
Found In Egroup: Legacy \ view thread
Although I won't ask you to re-load the Windows o.s., I need to ask which o.s. is being used. Some of the older RSLogix software may not be compatible with a newer o.s. I believe that is one topic covered in the knowbase suggested. Ken

RE: Kinetix 350 blown up on power up

Found In Egroup: Drives, Motion Control & Low Voltage Products \ view thread
As another data point on the Kinetix 350 with resultant damage at power up. As with most Kinetix drives, there is a limit of the number of power cycles on the AC Mains. For the Kinetix 350 the following is true: Kinetix 300/350 drive modules are limited to 1 AC mains power cycling per every 2 minutes. ...

Trevor, It appears that ACM will be updated near the end of March, perhaps a bit sooner to support V36. Regards, Ken

RE: SLC and Eplan/DWg files

It really comes down to what you're specifically looking for. The Eplan library is one source but for many older products some drawings (again based on what you are looking for), are contained in Users Manuals, Installation manuals, knowledgebase articles, etc. But for example if you are looking for ...

Publication 999-122 (Compac S-Class) and 999-103 (Integrated S-Class) depending on the release revision once had schematics posted at the back of the manual for the Compac family (IMCS-234) Regards, Ken ------------------------------ TheWizard ------------------------------

Along the same lines as Pradeep's response, the Kinetix drive has a power cycle limitation. Reference publication 2094-UM001L pg 60. It states, the power cycle capability is inversely proportional to the system capacitance (including DC bus follower), but cannot exceed 2 contactor cycles per minute ...

RE: Synchronize Date and Time on the Kinetix 6500 Web

Found In Egroup: Drives, Motion Control & Low Voltage Products \ view thread
The controller keeps track of time on the Kinetix 6500 webpage. Go to the controller properties page and make sure the time is set accurately there. There was also an anomaly with the uptime clock on the webpage. This I believe was corrected in firmware rev 3.006 ------------------------------ ...

RE: Data and Logic Memory ControlLogix 5572

Found In Egroup: Automation Control \ view thread
Romeu, In general CPU data and Logic Memory limitations would not cause a misprogrammed end point. Revisions of the Controller, or perhaps the applications program start to end point move caused the axis to rap in the opposite direction anticipated. Many possibilities exist here. But knowing the above ...

RE: Motion Axis Move ERR 13 EXX 3

Found In Egroup: Drives, Motion Control & Low Voltage Products \ view thread
A 360 degree end point should be an acceptable range albeit at the extreme positive edge. For a MAM instruction using Rotary shortest move (2) this should be an acceptable value, so it is unclear why this value would periodically generate an Err 13 ext 3. What is your scaling set to. Is it possible ...

RE: Kientix 5700 Feedback Integrity Loss

Posted By TheWizard May 27, 2022 07:45:00 AM
Found In Egroup: Drives, Motion Control & Low Voltage Products \ view thread
Feedback Data Loss equates to an S45 fault. Searching on S45 you might find additional help in our knowledgebase. Although a sagging 24VDC can cause this fault, the knowledgebase article (EF edited to add link) QA38005 stipulates this condition on power down. With that being said, we need to know ...

RE: 2198 - Kinetix 5500 drive capacitors issue?

Posted By TheWizard May 24, 2022 09:38:00 AM
Found In Egroup: Drives, Motion Control & Low Voltage Products \ view thread
Although it is hard to diagnose an issue through a picture, what this appears to be is conformal coating splatter on the capacitor. Normally when a capacitor is compromised or goes bad, either through high current or heat, it will tend to bulge, which this capacitor does not show signs of. ...

RE: Command vs. actual position glitch on virtual axis

Posted By TheWizard May 23, 2022 09:23:00 AM
Found In Egroup: Drives, Motion Control & Low Voltage Products \ view thread
One other comment. Although one would expect both the command and actual to be exactly equal that isn't necessarily the case. For "Real Axes", Actual position would use one type of algorithm to determine position, whereas Command Position would use another type of algorithm. In most cases for a real ...

You cannot mix both drives on the same power rail, they use two entirely different bus structures. Furthermore the K5700 is CIP based not Sercos based. ------------------------------ TheWizard ------------------------------

Anyone experiencing sercos ring issues, there is new diagnostic capability in version 17.16 of the sercos motion module that can be used to help isolate a suspect node. ##HL32

There are usually slight timing differences between the reporting of the control bits of the instruction and the status attributes. This is typically the result of two entities. The first, communications delays between the controller and the drive, as the drive is reporting its status back to the controller ...
