	What I/O cable options are there for the NS500? Posted Date: 09/21/2004 Answer: There are three options. 1) Use two pigtail (flying lead) cables: SGDH (1CN): JZSP-CKI01-XX(A) NS500 (4CN): CKI-NS300-XX Note: XX is cable length in meters: Lengths available are 01, 02, or 03 meters. 2) Create cables for both units using connector kits, two separate connector kits are required: SGDH (1CN): JZSP-CKI9 NS500 (4CN): DE9406973 3) Use cable assembly with D-SUB output for a single 3rd party I/O break board. Part number for this option is CKI-NS500D-XX. This cable is configured as a "Y" or "two headed" cable. One leg of the "Y" plugs into the amp's 1CN and the other into the 4CN on the N500. The two cables combine and terminate on the other end into a single 50 pin D-SUB connector. All 50 pins of the D-SUB are used when combining the I/O (many conductors are not used when the traditional two cable route is chosen). This D-SUB connector allows the customer to specify a 3rd party terminal block of their choice while cutting wiring time in half vs. the pigtail arrangement. For customers who have access to terminal blocks at a volume discount, this option offers substantial cost savings over the JUSP-TA50P. Specify 500 mm, 1m, 2m, or 3m length. For further information on this cable, refer to the CAD DWG or PDF file below. A partial list of suitable terminal blocks is also provided. Note: XX is cable length in meters: Lengths available are D50 (.5 meter), 01, 02, or 03 meters.

	Is there an alternative explanation of the term "User Units" pertaining to Yaskawa's electronic gearing built into the Servopacks and JUSP-NSxxx option board products? Posted Date: 07/13/2004 Answer: User units are a description of the resultant position units after electronic gearing parameters are adjusted. This is a feature used when a Yaskawa Servopack is in position mode. A Servopack may be in position mode under two circumstances: accepting pulses from a stepper motor indexer or when an application module such as an NS600, NS300 or NS500 is attached. Electronic gearing is expressed as a ratio. The result is that the position can be pulsed or commanded in logical user units, not just motor-encoder counts. Positioning in user units allows the application programmer to set position targets in realistic units rather than encoder counts. The Ratio is expressed as B/A, where B and A are integers. 'B' is the number of Quadrature [x4] encoder counts the motor will move for a given 'A' number of commanded user units. If B=300 and A=20, then for every 20 user units sent to the Servopack via pulses or a position command issued from an option card, the servomotor will move 300 encoder counts. If only 10 user units are commanded, then the servomotor will move 150 encoder counts. To see the equation and further information, please see the attached .PDF file.

	Is it possible to troubleshoot fieldbus modules that won't respond to PLC commands? Posted Date: 09/21/2004 Answer: Case #1: Fieldbus communication has been established, the PLC has turned on the SVON bit, but the servo drive does not enable. A. Make sure that main power is on (PWRON bit), and the NS module is ready to communicate (READY bit). B. Make sure the e-stop bit (ESTP_R) is off. The ESTP_R bit reflects hardware and software e-stop conditions combined. If ESTP_R bit is on, check the status of the EMSTOP wiring and PN81B parameter. The physical EMSTOP input is on the CN4 connector. This input is default to Normally Closed (PN81B bit 1). To disable software e-stop, set ESTP bit ON. Both the EMSTOP input AND the ESTP bit in the command message need to be set in order for the drive to be out of disabled condition. The EMSTOP input and the ESTP bit will have no effect if PN81B, bit 0 is set to xxx0. This may be useful in unloaded bench-top testing. C. Make sure the SVON bit has been toggled from 0 to 1. The SVON enable command is edge sensitive. D. Make sure there are no alarms (ALRM bit). If there is an alarm, clear it by toggling alarm reset bit (ALRST). E. The SVON bit should be turned on after the ESTP_R = 0. The SVON bit and the ESTP bit cannot be set simultaneously. Case #2: The drive is enabled and the SVON_R is 1 in the response message, but the motor won't move. A. Check if a warning is being generated when the command is issued, e.g. the setup value is out of range (A.94), or command reception conditions are not met (A.95). B. Check the status of the POT and NOT input and Pn819. POT or NOT are never displayed on the LED readout of the SGDH amplifier when used with the NS modules. The inputs are on the CN1 connector. They are set to Normally Closed as default. The status of the POT and NOT input can be read in the response message byte 3, bit 6 and 7. The POT and NOT will have no effect if Pn819 is set to xxx0, which may be useful in unloaded bench-top testing. C. Make sure starting motion command bit must be toggled from 0 to 1. C_START, FEED, STEP, PTBL, STN, HOME commands are edge sensitive. D. Make sure the commanded position is different form the actual position. If the INC bit is set to 0, target position is commanded in absolute terms. In this case, if the motor is at position 5000 and a Simple Positioning of 5000 is commanded, the motor should not move. E. Check the MOD_R bit. If this is 1, the message format for the command response is SET/READ (commonly used for reading/writing parameters). The MOD bit in the command message should be set to 0. This problem is often accompanied by the A.95 alarm, Command Error.

	How should the upper controller (or DeviceNet master) be programmed in order to establish motion at the NS300 Posted Date: 12/17/2001 Answer: The NS300 and NS500 require commands to be issued over the fieldbus network. The sequence of these commands as they are issued from the master does affect the response of the drive. In many cases, the A.95 command error warning will result if the sequence is not followed.

	How is the fully-closed encoder option configured when using the JUSP-NS500? Posted Date: 07/13/2004 Answer: The fully-closed encoder option available in the JUSP-NS500 module operates in the same manner as the JUSP-FC100 (fully-closed option module for the SGDH Servopack). Below is the basic parameter configuration information. Please reference the JUSP-FC100 User's manual for further details (SIE-C718-5). A link to the manual is below. The linear scale must provide quadrature feedback and be connected according to the drawing .JPG attached to this file. The following parameter changes are required as well: Pn002 Digit 3 must be set to: (Fully Closed Encoder Usage Method) 0 - No fully closed encoder (Semi-Closed Operation) 1 - Fwd fully closed encoder w/o C-Phase 2 - Fwd fully closed encoder w/ C-Phase 3 - Rev fully closed encoder w/o C-Phase 4 - Rev fully closed encoder w/ C-Phase After setting this parameter a power cycle of the SGDH control power is required for it to become effective. Pn206 Number of Fully Closed Encoder Pulses Setting Range 513 - 65535 [Factory Default: 16384] This is the pre-quadrature number of pulses from the fully closed encoder per revolution of the rotary motor. Pn51A Position Error Level between motor & load positions Setting Range 0 - 32767 [Factory Default: 10] This is the maximum error between the motor pulses and fully closed pulses (in post-quad motor pulses). The default may be low for an un-tuned system. If this error level is exceeded the SGDH will display an A.D1 alarm. You can also download the interface unit user's manual by going to: ftp://ftp.yaskawa.de/Public/PDF_Technical_Documentation/Motion&Control/Option_Board/FC100_FULLY_CLOSED/SigmaII_Series_FULLY_CLOSED_Interface_Unit_User's_Manual(SIE-C718-5_03).zip Attachments: 44KB Product Group/Line: Controllers, NS500 Profibus Topic/Sub Topic: Ask a Technical Question, Applications, Integration, Programming, Troubleshooting Document Number: MTN-5WFSBX Published Date: 07/13/2004 Share \| Rate Rate this article :	07/13/2004
	How is following error (position error) configured when using an NS-300 or NS-500? Posted Date: 07/13/2004 Answer: Pn505 (Overflow Level) in the SGDH ServoPack sets the maximum allowed position error (the following error limit). If the position error ever exceeds this value, the SGDH will fault with alarm A.D0. The units for Pn505 are 256 Reference Units [256 R.U.]. To set Pn505, convert the maximum position error desired to R.U. and divide by 256, rounding to the nearest integer Example: The reference unit (R.U.) has been set to 0.001mm and the user desires a max following error of 10mm. 10mm = 10,000 R.U. Pn505 = 10,000 R.U./256 = 39 [256 R.U.] (rounded) The R.U. represents the positioning resolution of the controller; the distance the machine moves when 1 pulse is received from the controller. The R.U. is set based on the ratio of two parameters that define the number of controller pulses and encoder counts that represent the same distance. The parameters used depend on the module attached. SGDH: Pn202 and Pn203 (SGDH in position mode, receiving pulse train from external controller) NS600: Pn202 and Pn203 NS300: Pn810 and Pn811 NS500: Pn810 and Pn811 Pn505 should be set after final tuning to 2 or 3 times the normally expected maximum position error.

	Are there any guidelines on how to read and write NS300 or NS500 Parameters using the basic Master-Slave I/O operation? Posted Date: 07/25/2005 Answer: Yes, but two important points must be stressed: 1. The application programmer must remember that handshaking is required to confirm the data was received and the operation is complete before continuing on to the next command. Relative to the master device CPU, Devicenet and Profibus are non-synchronized field bus networks. Although the NS300 or NS500 devices look like simple I/O to the master, a read or write parameter operation is internal to the NS300 or NS500 device it will take some time to complete. Handshaking and confirmation logic of these time dependant operations are required. 2. Second, depending on the master, the word size that the application code works with may be larger than the command code or data being sent or retrieved. Take as an example the AB Control Logix family of PLCs. If the application programmer is using the Control Logix as a master to an NS300, he or she must remember the word size the PLC code uses are 32-bit in length. The command to the NS300 is only 8-bits and the data may be, depending on the operation, 32-bit. Below are links to two documents. One is a multiple page adobe PDF that has two flow charts: one for Parameter read and one for write. The read write operation will be successful if the application program logic follows the flow of the respective chart. The other document is for general NS300/500 trouble shooting.
