General Mach Discussion / Re: Panasonic servo drive help
« on: March 18, 2013, 07:27:54 PM »
Man Hood,
guys like you make me feel like such a idiot. Thanks for getting the pic on here.I stated up front in my opening post I'm NOT a computer,electronics or internet communication wiz & I guess the fact I can't even get a pic in a post proves it.I tried a right click on the pic,(seems like I remember an option like "resize"in win XP ?). But I didn't see any option to resize, Hell i don't even know why they are BIG in the first place!When you say you have taken a screenshot of it,got it to show in post as a thumbnail at a reasonable resolution,phew! sailed right over my head?I can't keep asking for help,pretty soon you'll be expecting me to ask how to tie my shoes!!
In the pic you'll notice I only have 1 encoder cable made at this point(Z axis on far right)The r 0 on the display indicates the drive is ready to display rpm's.I can turn the servo motor shaft between my fingers and get a reading so I'm pretty confident the cable is made correctly.The X & Y are flashing Err 22 indicating an encoder or cable problem cause I don't have the cables made yet.
After our correspondence yesterday I believe we think I don't have a power supply connected for signal control. I kinda thought that myself when I read the manual but I also thought to myself "how can I have a readout on the drive and an encoder that seems to be working if the control has no power?" But you have me confident & convinced of what I need to redo as soon as I can get hold of some shielded cable with enough conductors.I need to backtrack this thread and get a list of exactly what I need where & where(those cw &ccw inhibs,etc).
Thanks for getting a pic up for me,(proving it's easy IF ya know how).Now I need to search "screenshot & thumbnail" & see iffin' I can get me some learn'!!
THANKS HOOD, Rick

I finally saw something in lower taskbar about an error 0X80010108 preventing photo or video from displaying? They display fine on my computer, just can't get them into a post. ???Googled the error code, said to do a syatem restore at the latest restore point.This is a win 7 box,about 15 months old & I've never done a system restore on this machine but started it anyway to see if it would fix the problem. Turns out the latest restore point was like 6:30 am this morning & said something about a windows update at that time. ???I don't know but maybe microsuck causing the problem?Whatever I did the system restore at that point,tried to get a pic into a post & same result as before,same error code.
At this point I'm happy that all my problems weren't of my own making. With all the help you've offered today I'm now at a point where I have work to do REDOING the CN I/F cables from BOB to drives. That's going to take awhile, hope I can still get by with the cabling I have, it's shielded 3 TP (6 conductors + shield). Soldering these cables is a pain for an old guy with not so great eyes anymore & arthritic hands. Also the machine itself is half done at best so even if the motors were ready to go I don't have a machine ready for them yet.
