    The original is made up of the following

    1756 L61 cpu version 19

    1756 m03se Sercos card version 19

    2094-bc02-m02-s

    High resolution multiturn servo and encoder

    The new panel has the same except for

    1756 l71 cpu version 24

    I have literaly just found the following on a kinetix 6000 bulletin

    2094-xCxx-Mxx-S and 
    2094-xMxx-S
    CORRECTED: Loss of absolute reference status after power cycle for feedback-only axis. 
     

    Sounds like it could potentially be my issue, the test rig was made of 3 year old + drives from Stores. For the new panel everything was just ordered in. 

    Just phoned someone at work to find out the version of the drive. Not sure how to flash one of these though.

    Me again, some more info for this imcase anyone can help. I have hooked the encoder up off the machine and slowly turned it by hand to identify where it causes the servo to trip.

    It turns out that when the encoder isnt homed it will try and lock the servo at 0 degrees even though I have written in the program to lock at the actualposistion of the servo. As the servos stop position is 286 degrees this then causes the overspeed/posistion error

    The encoder is reading the correct position before homing, but once it has been homed it will then lock at the correct position. I have spoken to rockwell via out techconnect and they wernt particularly helpful :(.

    Any guidance would be greatly appreciated

    Hi guys,

    been using this site for a long time, it has come in handy alot. However I have recently taken on my first servo project, heres an overview of the project

    We have a filling machine that has a separate dosing system to the filler head. It used to keep the dosing in time by adjusting a 0-10v signal to an inverter to make sure that a flag makes a sensor in a set window.

    I have installed an encoder on the filling head and an mpl servo to the dosing. I have then used an MAPC instruction to follow the encoder, the cam is 0-360 and it follows a straight linear line. I have installed of this as a temporary set up on one of the filling machines (we have 2) and it is working perfectly.

    I have now installed this on the second machine as a permanent set up with a panelview plus 7, L71 cpu. However it is giving a very strange problem on first power up, the encoder is giving the exact same position as before it was powered down. however as soon as the MAPC executes the servo axis  faults, giving an overspeed fault. the servo doesnt even look like its attempting to move (however it is through a 10-1 gearbox). if i then home the encoder it then runs absolutely perfectly until it is powered down again.

    I am beginning to think it may be to do with the master lock and cam lock position, as the cycle stop position of the two machines are different. however I just cant seem to get my head around i the difference between them.

     

    Hopefully that makes sense

    any help would be greatly appreciated

    Thanks

    Rhys
