Totally agree.
Going back to the spindle debate. What do you think about using 2 X 1.5kw motors on the spindle? Instead of a 3kw 3 phase.

Hi Craig
New drive coming this week. No questions asked but had to send the old drive back so they can test it.
Cheers

Hi

I will speak to Schneider tomorrow and send the drive back. I'll put another drive on order and hopefully get a refund.

Thanks for looking at this.

Hi Craig

Thanks for the info. After taking a look at the CN7 plug I have noticed that the jumper wire for the Internal Brake is pre-connected. Should this have been disconnected prior to use?

I have connected the SoMove to the drive and have attached the Faults listed in the memory. I have tried clearing all the faults but when you try and enable the drive it brings them back.

Cheers

Hi Craig

Thanks for the explanation. I agree it would not be a wiring issue. The connections to the mains are clearly marked on the plugs (Except for it gives you R1 and R2 for live and neutral. I wired live to R1).  It is impossible to wire the motor to drive wrong with pre-fab cables and the motor was jogging with no issues before I went away. (This was using the servo control panel) I was thinking more so with the connections coming from the CN1 50 pin plug.

I don't have an external brake resistor connected. According to the manual (Screen Shot attached), there is an internal braking resistor on CN7 but it looks a jumper wire has to be connected to activate it. But it also states the internal braking resistor is activated when shipped. 

Internal braking resistor A braking resistor is integrated in the device to absorb braking energy. The device is shipped with the internal braking resistor active.

Would there be any specific parameters that would need setting or de-activating that may have caused this?


Cheers

Hi Craig
Yes the 240v breaker. Will have to send it back. Can set the other drive up but just concerned that something is wired wrong. Got the cable for the Somove now so will plug it in tomorrow and see what it says.

Hi

Need to put worrying about the encoder outputs resolution on hold for a minute.

Connected the encoder and Vref to the CSMIO. Seemed to be working ok then tripped the electric and now the drive powers up but seems to be locked with the fan continuously running. Been on the phone to Schneider technical for over an hour who were as much help as my Misses would be. Literally only sent the Z axis home a few times at slow speeds as was having an issue with the homing not working right.

I have not got a clue where to start or what has caused it. Help please!!

Cheers

Hi Craig

Parameter P1-46 is adjustable from the drive.

Will get back to you later with the acceleration tests.

Hi

Found this on scaling in the manual. Section 7.3.4.2 (screenshots below) I think this may be something to do with the resolution of the encoder.
I don't fully understand PUU.


I spoke to S/T yesterday who said the resolution of the encoder is changed via parameter P5-16

P5-16 AXEN
Encoder Increments in PUU Applicable operating mode: PT, PS, V, T Setting can only be changed if power stage is disabled.
PUU -2147483647 0 2147483647 Decimal

Hi Craig

Thanks for digging that out. I think that level of accuracy is way above what I need or could measure. 0.6um is 0.0006mm.
0.01mm is where I am with my dial and vernier gauges. Lol

Cheers Again
