PLC : Mitsubishi FX5UJ-60MT/ES Stepper Drive : TROY TR22-2   My problem is, When I Jog it, the Motor will have noise and vibrate(Example at video). I already ask my supplier and they test with their kit, my supplier says suspect the speed may not enough faster, so will have this noise. But when I use PLC to trigger it, still have the same problem. Even I increase the speed, the motor still rotates the same as the video.   i changed PLC to Omron  CP2E PLC, don't have this kind of issue.    Please help me,Thank you WhatsApp Video 2023-05-25 at 12.53.32.mp4

I have been trying with an Ethernet cable and a 1747-pic i am 100% sure there is user error need to download a program into the PanelView i have the correct software rslinx and panelbuilder32 help I'm trying to learn

Hi Guys,  It might be an off topic, but I need some help, with motor sizing. I have to choose a Sew motor with a proper gearhead. I made the calculation, for the speed thats okay. But I got stuck with the loads. It will be a conveyor, the roller and the product mass altogether is 29 kg. I  made the calculation for the load inertia check: Roller moment of inertia (J1);    m2=mass of roller;     d=diameter(mm) J1=1/8*m2*d^2*2=1/8*8*0,2^2*2= 800 * 10^-4 kgm^2 Belt and material mass = m1 = 21 kg;  Belt and work moment of inertia (J2): J2=m1*( π * d)^2/4* π ^2= 2100 * 10^-4 kgm^2 J=J1+J2 = 2900 * 10^-4 kgm^2 They give me a motor with gearhead, sew eurodrive Ka37/T DRS71S4BE05. This motor performance is 0,37kW, I think its enough, but on the documentetion, I didn't find any data, about the permitted load inertia. Can anybody help me with this ? Thanks ahead.            

Recently had to get a program out of a millenium 3 plc which I had programmed a few years ago but the cable would not connect.The only difference this time ,as my laptop no longer had a rs232 port,was the use of a USB to rs232 converter. Having trawled the web I managed to find the circuit of the interface cable below. It looks like the signal from the computer uses the negative going part of the pulses which aren't present on most usb to rs232 converters. Is this correct?

Hello I am not sure if anyone know how to select cable cross section for 5KW AC motor? Thank you

Hello I choose a 5kw AC Motor , But I do not know how to select a right cable or wire for it?? Thank you

ello I have a powerflex 400 of 25HP for a 60amp 25HP motor, the motor have a belt that move the clarifier of milk. It is a process that requires strength to move.So I try with the motor without the clarifier the vdf works well with a constant amp of 12 to the max of 50hz that is set up with a ramp of 600 sec.Then I try with the belt that move the clarifier... The vdf start the ramp with a wird amp behavior like 10 sec 100 amp and then 13 amp for 10 sec.When it gets to 50hz (the max) it starts the same behavior 13 amp when it reach the max RPM and when it decrease a little bit it gets 100 amp to get to the max RPM again.In this vdf powerflex 400 I didn't see the % of torque options that the last one Fuji had.Someone told me that powerflex 400 is not for power processed, they are focus in pumps and blowers more alike, and that I need a vdf vectorial like a powerflex 725.What do you think...PD: as the 100 amp is like 10 sec the protections dont show up. PD: I made a try with water and hot water, in that point with the max hz  (and 6800rpm) when the hot water start to flow the amp gets constant in 75 amp, but the motor dosnt get to the 6800 rpm again it just keep trying in 6700rpm and it mantains the 75amp triggering the motor protection for overload.

Greetings Engineers  Does anyone have part numbers for programming cable to connect from a serial port on GE Versamax IC200CPU001 to programming laptop via USB?

Hi,   I have a plc s7-200 (224xp) and a hmi op320-a, made the programs and download both, but the hmi don't connect with plc. the cable is correct like manual (op side pins 1-9 to plc pin 3, and op side pins 6-8 to plc pin 8) but the hmi just show CONNECTING... and never ends.    someone could help me, need add some configuration to plc? or another pin configuration cable?    thanks.

Hi! Does someone has a pinout and/or wiring diagram for an old  CQM1-CIF02 cable? Thanks!

Hi , we have Fx3U-128MT and a Hybrid Stepping Motor 2 Phase (17HS4401).   Do we need to install  FX3U-2HSY-ADP to control the stepping motor or we can program it no problem using  PLC User's Manual - Positioning Control Edition? Do we need  a Driver?

Hi, FX-2NC-32MT PLC need to change Battery, Can you please tell me the battery model no? Which communication cable require  for FX-2NC-32MT PLC upload or download program? Thanks & Regards Sohel Ahmed

Hi, I have a Mitsubishi Servo motor with its amplifier MR-J3-350T. I lose the home position. How can I set the value of the position to zero if I detect a home detector. I use gx developer. thank you

Hi, I am quite newbie in the PLC world but I got my hand on a Kinetix 5500 (model 2198-Hxxx-ERS2) with a VPL-A0631E-C motor. I also have a CompactGuard logix 5380 to program it. I am doing a "for fun" project to experiment and learn how the devices work.  My first question is about power wiring. In my understanding from the manual, the Kinetix 5500 main power can be configured as three-phase or single phase (Using the L1, L2, L3, GND connector - think is called IPD). In my home I have a classic 220V (EU) socket. Is there a way to connect the Kinetix directly to my socket? I tried a few random stuff like L1 -> L , L2 -> N or L1 -> N , L3 -> L,  (GND -> GND) but every time the circuit would break. (Actually, I had one lucky attempted where the circuit did not fail with  L1 -> L , L2 -> N, and I managed to operate the motor, but when I reconnected it again it failed. Am quite buffled about the issue here. I am using a socket splitter if that something to comment on.) The second question is about purchasing an actuator. I found many interesting stuff like index tables or linear actuators. I requested a few quotes from some vendors but the price range they provided is a bit off budget for me (the majority was more than 2k). I am looking for some thing to attach to the motor in a price range of 1k - 1.5k. Do you have any suggestions for me? There are no load requirements. I just need to have a moving part so that I can for example put a barcode sticker on it and change the behaviour reading on that. I could attach something handmade but I am willing to put something extra to buy commercial equipment. As I am new to this, feel free to comment any inaccuracies or misconceptions. Happy to learn.

Hi, I have an old TSX 47 30 that has an I / O fault (red led on) green led on run and plc stopped. I'm writing to see if you can help me to establish communication and achieve the download of the program. I do not have the communication cable or the PL7-3 software under OS 2. So far I have done searches on the schneider page, forums and all the links are lost or deactivated. I have read your answers in plc of the same series and I observe that a converter rs 232 to current loop is needed. In this case here in Venezuela it is difficult to get this converter, however I have observed the black box model 232 CL-E, CL050A and I think it can be useful. I also have an old toshiba laptop with windows xp with a native rs 232 port to avoid another converter and I could make the connection cable DB25-DB9 to the PLC. Now I would miss the procedure to make an OS / 2 bios and get the software or make a virtual machine in which case I require the appropriate software .. thanks for your help

I searched FX5 manuals and it appears that with the high speed inputs I can run a stepper motor without a motor controller. I have little experience setting up a new system with any motor but have made changes with servo issues. I sent a request for info from my supplier but I still have some questions/requests.   1. Can an FX5U control stepper motors without a motor controller? 2. If not then what Q/R series setup is required 3. Are there any document to help understand? (program examples are welcome)   Main objective is to run a sensor head to 3 or 4 specific points using a belt driven linear actuator with a nema motor.

Hi, I am using FP0R C32T, i use FPWIN GR to make plc program using jog operation instructions F172. I used the program exactly like manual, but still got error code 45? Did anyone know about this thing?

Good Afternoon  im a complete newbie when it comes to PLCs but have done plenty of PIC programming in the past. I've been gifted a couple of FX0s 20mr units to try to repair something I made with PICs years ago. It got damaged during a move and I can’t see well enough now to make PCBs anymore so thought that this might be a solution. The basic operation is  1. switched on 2. motor A moves till hits limit switch (X000) 3. Wait 2 seconds 4. motor reverses till hits second limit switch (X001) then once this has been completed then the following  5. Motor B turns clockwise for 30 seconds then stops  And while Motor B is turning I need Motor C to turn until hitting limit switch (X002) I then need to get it to repeat on the press of a button but I need to reverse operation of Motors B and C I am using double position relays to drive the motors so motor A is on Y000 and Y001 if I power either relay the the motor turns in that direction. Same with Motor B and C Y002 to Y005 is this something that’s possible with one of these controllers or am i going to be programming a PIC to control the PLC ?   All the various COM and powers are connected up, I can individually make every motor do what I want, but the program doesn't flow from one item to the next. but this is probably just me      

Is there a way to monitor the Temperature of a Servo Motor on Allen Bradley Servo motors... MPL? PLC: CompactLogix 1769-L30ERM Drive: Kinetix 6500   Motors: MPL-B310P-MJ72AA, and  MPL-B560F-MJ72AA I would like to be able to monitor the temperature, and flash a warning screen on the HMI if the Motor gets too hot, or perhaps shut down the operation before the Motor overload trips. The drive and PLC are connected through Ethernet IP What I don’t know is if that Motor heatsink temperature information is available to the PLC.

Hello, Have this error come up constantly and can't be reset. Motor hasn't tried to drive at all. Second motor showing same problem. This is a new configuration on new machine. Other inverters configured without any problems. Anyone seen this before or any ideas what could be the issue.

Dear all... I am new here. I have a problem when connect my laptop to new PLC FX3U series. There was sign that I must update a driver for FX3U-USB-BD. Where can I get it for free? Could anyone here help me to share a link please?   thanks! Haniv

Hello, I need to have a cx-programmer code which I can control my linear actuator position by setting 3 positions with timer, I am using a CP1L pro'skit

Hi experts, please share the sample blocks for the EDITABLE TIMER block it should be editable from HMI(Siemens). And also motor run hour block. Actually i am having all blocks in tia v12 version and sadly i dont have the old software to convert it again. So please share the blocks that it shoud be work in TIA V14 for s7 1200 plc's. Please note that the blocks should use add instructions to calculate the time because i don't have much memory.

Hello. Is it possible to add SECTION using ONLINE EDIT? I can add rung... Thanks. Best regards.

can anybody Know how to control stepper motor using PLC
