  1. NX102 SSI encoder problem

    hi have a good time i have a nx102-1200 and a nx-ecs212 module. I connected an SSI encoder to the card and read the position value in the software. The encoder counts 360 pulses in each round and then it goes to zero. I want to use GearIn function and have the encoder as the master and a servo motor as the slave. In each revolution, the encoder pulse becomes zero, and as a result, the servo motor movement is not continuous!!! I want the servo motor to be continuous! In fact, I don't want the encoder pulse to zero every time. What should I do? Is there a solution? please help me thank you so much

  4. We are working with two VFDs FR-A820 Series, each of them driving a motor that obey a master-slave relationship. One of them is in speed control, while the other is in torque control. Each of the VFDs has one of the Mitsubishi FR-A8AP encoder reading cards that collect the data from an Avtron A56 encoder. While testing our system it came our realization that, if one measures the resistance across the terminals of the encoder cards mounted on the VFD these are not the same. Concretely, this is the reading we get: (see attached)   We noticed that this difference in the resistance causes a voltage drop in the encoder signal when looked over a oscilloscope. We are surprised that this resistance is different: a) between the cards, b) between the terminals A and B in the VFD. We wanted to ask: Is this behavior expected? Should the resistances in both cases be different? Is this something we should be concerned about? So far our application works and our motor turns as they should, but we are quite surprised that this is the case.
  5. Hello Guys, I have a Mitsubishi A8000 series vfd with an encoder card and also encoder. With analog (0-10V) signal i can read back the current speed. The conveyor convey paper sheets. Occasionally they change the width of the paper but the the two type of paper is connected. We have a camera on the begging of the conveyor, and we would like to lets say cut it 2 meter later. But the position should be very precise otherwise we are not cut it in the good position. The cutting procedure would happen also an asynchronous motor or with servo motor.  Is it possible to write a tracking program and cut paper sheet in a good position ? My plane is to stop the CV in the position and waiting for the cut and go on.  The plc is Allen Bradley, control logix 5580. Any tip would be appreciated. Thank you so much. 
  6. Positioning and speed control

    Hello Guys. Is it possible to use an fr-a840 to use in the same time positioning control and also in speed control mode ? In the moment the vfd is in speed control mode. But now i also have to need to stop the conveyor in certain position. It will be a new feature. If its not possible, do i need a hsc ?  The speed of the conveyor is 20 m/min and the accuracy should be within 3 mm.  Could anybody help me with this.  Thanks ahead.

  8. Hi All, Has anyone used a Compactlogix PLC to send a SMS via a Router? I've seen it in the past using a serial connect using ASCII. Unfortunately I can't use email as network coverage can be bad at times.
  9. The 1769-SG001 manual says: "Check the specification table of each module for the power supply distance rating. This rating indicates how many slot  positions the module can be from the power supply." The CPU power supply distance rating is "4 modules". Does this mean 4 modules are allowed between the CPU and power supply? Or the CPU to be maximum the 4th slot from the power supply?
  10. Encoder position with vfd

    Hello guys.  I have a question, i have a mistubishi fr-a800 vfd with an encoder option card. On the motor we have an encoder.  I can read back the speed with the plc with analog signal. But can i use also for, tracking the distance ? Can i set anyhow the inverter lets say after one round on the encder send some digital signal to the plc. Is there any chance to set it ?  Lets say this is a conveyor, in this case its better if i put an encoder/counter on the conveyor and it will be directly connected to the plc.  Thanks ahead
  11. Hello,   I'm currently working with a 1769-L19ER-BB1B CompactLogix controller connected to 7 1734-IE8C analog input cards. Into these cards I have about 14 Setra 269 Differential Pressure Transducers, all of which have their own individual display. Our goal is to capture and record the data from the Setras in the PLC, but I am struggling to scale it correctly. I currently am running a series of SCL function blocks to change the raw inputs (3277 - 16383) to the Engineering range (-0.25 - 0.25). The Setras have a standard output range of 4-20 mA and the calibration sheet I have for it matches that (4 mA = -0.25, 20 mA = 0.25 etc.) My issue is the SCL function block outputs are not matching the displays that the Setras have on the sensors. The difference can be somewhat staggering (largest one ive seen is PLC - > 0.045 , Sensor - > 0.003. Any ideas on what I can try to fine tune this scaling? 
  12. Does anyone know how to change the reading on Omron servo motor reading from negative to positive? The encoder is reading negative values when it is moving in the forward direction.  I am using 1S servo on NX1P2 controller on Sysmac studio software.  Please suggest. 
  13. Hey group! I am working on a project that has a machine that forms cartons that will drop the cartons into a cleated conveyor after they are formed. The forming machine needs to be synchronized with the cleated conveyor so that the formed cartons will drop in between the cleats as they pass under the forming machine. So, in essence, the conveyor will be the master and the forming machine will be a slave to the conveyor and match its position accordingly. Initially, it was proposed that the conveyor utilize a CIP encoder so it could be set up as a motion axis, but the customer declined that option as they didn't care for using CIP encoders (can't really blame them!). So, a slightly cruder proposal of using two 1024 count encoders was proposed, which they accepted. However, your friendly programmer here isn't quite sure how to make that work! I think the basic concept is encoder following but but I can't seem to find anything online that really describes the actual process or logic for this. The RA Sample Code site doesn't seem to have anything on there but maybe I just haven't entered the right search keywords. The forming machine has the following notable components: 5069-L310ER 5069-HSC2xOB4 PowerFlex 525 drive 1024 count incremental encoder As noted, the idea is to have a 1024 count encoder mounted on the conveyor with some sort of ratio so that the counts will run the pitch of the cleats 508 mm). Some trickery will have to worked in to get them to sync at the right time but for the time being, I'm just looking for a method to do the encoder following and asking the group if anyone has some ideas, or better yet, a method, of how to accomplish that.
  14. hello, I want to ask, maybe some of you know about this, I want to take a program on compactlogix but it has a firmware version 19.xx while the rslogix application I have is version 21.xx, there are several options offered by the application to be able to take the program, update the firmware in compactlogix or downgrade the rslogixku application to version 19.xx. if i upgrade the firmware in compactlogix, what about the program is the program safe or not, and if i upgrade the firmware will the program in compactlogix work properly?

  17. Encoder for fx1n

    Hi all! How can I use two AB phase encoder at the same time. I use Mitsubishi FX1N PLC, and I would like to use a high speed counter. I think the plc has 6 high speed counter input, but I cant use only one at same time.
  18. Hi, I have to implement an axis control in a NX1P2 PLC using an inverter (3G3MX2) and an encoder cabled on a EC0122 board. I found something similar implemented  on a CJ2M PLC, but I have no idea how to set up the axis in the configuration of sysmac studio and how to implement the control. Can someone help me? Some sample to catch out the configuration?   Thanks a lot Andrea

  20. I have 0x4c requests from my ipc to the controller, with request path: Class - 0xB2, Instance - 0x004C. And 0x4c responses from the same path, and then "Command Specific Data": example 1 (of the command specific data): 0100a6409d00a6409d00a6409d00a6409d00a6409d00a6409d00a6409d00a6409d00a6409d00a6409d00a6409d00a6409d00a6409d00a6409d00a6409d00 example 2: 0100a7409d00a7409d00a7409d00a7409d00a7409d00a7409d00a7409d00a7409d00a7409d00a7409d00a7409d00a7409d00a7409d00a7409d00a7409d00 example 3: 0100a8409d00a8409d00a8409d00a8409d00a8409d00a8409d00a8409d00a8409d00a8409d00a8409d00a8409d00a8409d00a8409d00a8409d00a8409d00 Looks like it always starts with 0100, then repeating some value. In the first one the repeating value is 00a6409d, and then in the end 00. Or maybe it's 01 and then just repeating values surrounded with 00 or something similar. Is it values surrounded with 00, written using little-endian? Does the variable in request have a name?  
  21. I have 23 Micrologix 1400s and I want to take the same register, N100:99, out of each one and put in a single array in a CompactLogix L18ER. From what I have tried, it only seems like I can only map a range of integers, N100:77-N100:100, to the array and not an individual register to a particular element. (For example, mapping N100:99 from machine 16 to Selected_Model[15]) Can you map to individual elements in an array? If so, are there any instructions on how to do so? Thank you in advance for reading my post!
  22. How long  could be INT array. For example can I build INT[365] or DINT[365]? When I use more than [32] my controller fails. Thanks.

  25. Hi All, I just take over a project which involve accurate positioning and movement up to 0.010mm(around 10 microns) of a servo motor. I found out that my motor always move to an incorrect position. Let's say I want it to move to absolute position of 5.210mm, I found out that it may move more till 5.235 or move less 5.190(something like that). So i start to check if I'm outputting correct pulse. Using CX-Drive, I connect to the driver then i found out that the pulse is correct and consistent(for example i use my pulse per revolution and pitch to determine how many pulses) Currently I'm using an incremental encoder and servo motor and my PLC cycle time is around 12 ms and my servo move at a speed of 0.66mm/s. So I was wondering if my PLC scan time will affect my accuracy in moving ?? I'm using a CJ2M PLC with CJ1W-NC413 pulse card , incremental encoder and a servo motor. I want to make sure is not software limitation or anything wrong on software side before I bring it to my mechanical team   Appreciate all inputs here and thanks!
