Removing an Axis From a Running Kinetix 5700 System Without Faulting the Rest

A Kinetix 5700 rail drawn twice: as commissioned with six modules from a 2198-P208 through to a capacitor module, and again with the 55 mm 2198-D032 pulled out leaving a dashed gap, annotated with the two ways out — shift every module right of the gap 55 mm left and re-drill, or leave the inverter bolted in place and inhibit it — and the warning that the rail cannot be opened until power is off and a meter says the bus is down

Removing an Axis From a Running Kinetix 5700 System Without Faulting the Rest A 2198-D032-ERS4 is two axes behind one Ethernet connection on one set of bus bars, and inhibiting either half takes the other half with it. Getting the module off the rail is a different order of problem: control power and mains off, … Read more

Adding an Axis to a Kinetix 5700 System: the Module, the Axis, and the Four Places to Set It

The Logix Designer controller organiser with a new 2198-D032-ERS4 named Drv_04 under the Ethernet bridge alongside a 2198-P208 and a 2198-S160-ERS4, and beneath it a motion group named Line_MG holding Axis_01 plus two new AXIS_CIP_DRIVE tags Axis_04A and Axis_04B, with a panel listing what the tree does not show: the bus sharing group, the half axis, ungrouped axes and the capacitance total

Adding an Axis to a Kinetix 5700 System: the Module, the Axis, and the Four Places to Set It The eighth axis on the line is a 2198-D032-ERS4 in the last 55 mm of the rail, and getting it into the project is four dialogs and about twenty minutes. What takes the rest of the … Read more

Safety Feedback on a Kinetix 5700: What SFX and the Safe Speed Functions Need From the Encoder

The chain from encoder to safe speed function on a Kinetix 5700: cycles per revolution, the DSL or universal port with its interpolation, the motion safety instance, the safety input assembly, the SFX instruction and the safety instructions that use its outputs

Safety Feedback on a Kinetix 5700: What SFX and the Safe Speed Functions Need From the Encoder A VPL-B0631T-W gives 512 cycles per motor revolution and a VPC-Bxxxx-Q gives 4096. Put the wrong one of those two numbers into the Motion Safety instance and the drive catches you: the DSL diagnostics compare the configured resolution … Read more

Safe Torque Off on a Kinetix 5700: Wiring the STO Connector, and What It Does Not Do

The STO connector on a Kinetix 5700 inverter: a dual-channel safety device with contacts 13/14 and 23/24 feeding STO-2 and STO-4, the supply common landing on STO-3, and the 16 pins of the plug named with their signals

Safe Torque Off on a Kinetix 5700: Wiring the STO Connector, and What It Does Not Do One contact of the gate switch opens a few hundred milliseconds before the other, and a second later a 2198-D032-ERS4 posts GuardStopInputFault. The axis will not come back with a normal fault reset. Both safety inputs have to … Read more
