To configure the PowerFlex 525 embedded ethernet port address, BootP can be used to configure the IP address, or use its parameters to set the IP address. Details of each are explained in publication 520COM-UM001B-EN-E - March 2013 chapter 2. To configure the Mitsubishi controller or its IE Field network ...

Eric, Studio 5000 release notes, starting with version 31 explain the short-comings of this incident in more detail. At the moment there is no resolution in the near term.

Eric, Thanks for you response. This could mean there is a work-around for the current anomaly. However I tried your recommendation on my machine (V20 through V36), unfortunately Studio still saves the project in its default directory. However this does mean, if you were able to get the saved project ...

After further analysis this feature doesn't not appear to be working as intended. As such an anomaly investigation will ensue. Since an evaluation is in its early stages, it cannot at this time be predicted when this feature will be resolved, or what priority will be placed on getting this resolved. ...

This selection was meant as the default directory for backup and saved files. We need to determine whether this selection is working correctly. Give us a little time, and we will repost with an answer.

There is a related example in publication LDSDK-GR001A-EN-P - November 2023, for Downloading a project and saving to an SD card. In regards to the Pre-release version of SDK, you should have been provided with a contact name for providing additional feedback on the pre-release or for future recommendations. ...

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

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ------------------------------ ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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. ...

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 ------------------------------
