	What energizes (closes) and de-energizes (reopens) the "estop" relay in LEGEND-MC (SMC-3010)? Posted Date: 07/13/2004 Answer: The relay is the LEGEND-MC's dry contact output located on pins 25 and 50 of the 5CN port. The following will de-energize (open) the relay: 1) The axis has a position error greater than the error limit. The error limit is set by using the command ER. 2) The reset line on the controller is held low or is being affected by noise. 3) There is a failure in the controller and the processor is resetting itself. 4) There is a failure in the output IC which drives the error signal. Note that the most common cause of the relay operating is the following error. Based on the conditions above, the relay will reclose: 1) The servo gets back into position so the position error is less than that set in the ER command. 2) The reset input is changed from low to high (disconnected.) 3) Processor reset is complete. 4) No recovery from this condition. Finally, it is not possible to program the EStop relay to open.

	What does the “E2005 the field offset exceeds the limit” compile error mean? Posted Date: 01/30/2020 Answer: This error typically occurs when large User Defined Datatypes are declared. It means that at least one variable declaration exceeded the limit for Global Variables or a POU. MotionWorks IEC will specify which variable caused it. The limit is 4MB for Global Variables and 4MB each POU Variable Worksheet. This limit does not mean that 4MB is the maximum size for all variable space however. The limit refers to the reference point (head address) where the variable is located. Any variables declared beyond the 4MB limit will cause this error. Placing the largest structure as the last variable declaration in the variable list typically permits the project to be complied without error. Please see the attached PDF for an example of how the error is created and how to prevent it.

	What does the compiler message "Internal Error: Overflow. (Specific Code Generator)" mean and what is the remedy? Posted Date: 03/12/2014 Answer: This error message typically appears if there is a variable connected to a VAR_IN_OUT with a datatype that differs from the required datatype of the function block. In a similar fashion, this error can also occur when a variable is used as a VAR_IN_OUT for a function block inside a user created function block, but isn't declared as a VAR_IN_OUT to the user created function block. Check the datatype definition for each function block recently added to the project by right clicking on it to view the object properties. Compare the VAR_IN_OUT datatype requirements with the variable attached and correct any mistakes. Another potential cause is unconnected EN inputs to basic functions.

	What does the "-(A)" mean in the cable part number? Posted Date: 07/13/2004 Answer: The suffix on cable part numbers refers to the revision level of the cable.
