Hello,
I would first like to express that I am new to programming PLC's and most of my experience has come from troubleshooting existing programs, so my knowledge is very limited. Which is why I joined this forum.
A little background on my project:
I am upgrading the controls of an existing machine that feeds, strips and cuts wire material. I have replaced the old AC Induction Motor with a Mitsubishi HG-KR73K Servo Motor, so I can gain positioning accuracy. I have an FX5U-32MR/ES PLC, FX5-40SSC-S Motion Controller & GS2107-WTBD HMI. I decided to use the Step Ladder programming method, since the machine operates automatically. I was able to successfully program the Servo Motor, so it would motion the material to specific positions.
The issue I am running into is trying to stop the Servo Motor motion during a fault or when selecting the "Auto Stop" button I added to the HMI. If I touch the "Auto Stop" push button or if the machine runs into a fault in the middle of the servo motion, the servo will motion until it reaches its position, then the machine stops. This makes sense to me, but I assume there must be a command to stop the servo motor on the spot? I can't seem to find this "Stop Servo Motion" command.
Please advise.
Thanks,
