How do you have A558 [Positioning Mode] configured? If set to 2 "Step Logic" it will always start at Step 0. To get the functionality you are looking for, it must be set to option 3 "Preset StpL" See below" I hope this helps-------------------------------------------

I apologize if you are already aware of the information I am sharing but it threw me the first time I encountered it. DMK files are compatible with both ControlFLASH and ControlFLASH Plus. For Logix controllers V30 and below, the inventory groups the firmware by Controller part number. You will notice ...

Luke, I do not know where this is documented but Soft Overtravels are an "Absolute" function and typically absolute functions require homing. I believe Vincent is correct that you will need to home the axis to get Soft Overtravels to function. This does not mean you need to abandon ...

pa_servo_guy I agree with Vincent. The behavior you described is usually an indication of an internal drive failure and you should work with your local representative. If you would still like to try flashing the drive, I may be able to help with that. Newer firmware has a security feature called ...

Correct. You have the current only version .5-30A ------------------------------ Michael Harris ------------------------------

Ryan, There are three varieties of sensing module. They are Current, Current/Gnd. Fault. and Current/Gnd. Fault/Voltage. To get kWhs, you need to have the latter. Please verify which sensing module you have. ------------------------------ Michael Harris ------------------------------

The cmf file does not just contain motor information. It also specifies which drive products the motor is compatible with. If you received the cmf file prior to the K5300 being released, the K5300 would not be specified in the file and therefor the motor would not appear in the drop down list for that ...

I do not know if this has been implemented on the K5300, but would expect not. As pointed out, demo mode was used to operated the 460V 3phase drive on 230V single phase in a classroom or hands on lab environment (demonstration). It is not suitable for production environments. Since the K5300 is available ...

There are no program modifications required. The new drive has hardwired STO only so all the additional functionality is achieved with wiring only. If you do not want to use STO, use the jumper supplied with the drive and it will operate the same as the original. ------------------------------ Michael ...
