	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. This means different things for different cables. For the SGMAH and SGMPH motor cables, this means more flexible cabling (compared to Sigma I). For SGMGH, SGMSH, and SGMUH, this means molded backshells for all power and encoder cables. In addition, 'CE' versions of these cables, feature continuous flex cable.

	What does it mean that, "motor protection time constant for the electrical termal device is 8 minutes"? Posted Date: 11/28/2005 Answer: This refers to Motor Overload Protection Time constant when a cold start is performed. After switching ON the power, a fault will occur if the motor runs at 150% of the load for 8 minutes. It is equal to running the motor at 150% load for 1 minute when using a hot start (after continuing to drive at 100% load). Refer to TM.V7.01 for more information.

	What could cause motion commands sent to an EtherCAT axis to be executed by a different axis than intended? Posted Date: 03/07/2014 Answer: With an EtherCAT configuration, the connection order of the servopacks is important. EtherCAT Input should be connected to CN11A and EtherCAT Output to the next servopack in the network should be connected at CN11B. If connections are interchanged after initial commissioning, like in the case of a servopack replacement, the master may reassign addresses in a different physical order at the next power-up. To assist this situation, the servopack provides a means to set EtherCAT secondary addresses (aliases) via rotary dip switches S11 and S12. See Section 4.4.4 of the user manual for more information on these settings. For more information refer to SIEPC72082904 the Sigma-5 User Manual: EtherCAT (CoE) Network Module.

	What could cause an motor to run away when it is enabled (/S-ON goes low)? Posted Date: 07/13/2004 Answer: If the motor is running away, the amplifier must be getting a command from somewhere to run the motor. Typically this occurs when the host controller sends the amplifier a pulse train to the amplifier BEFORE the servo is initialized. This causes a build-up of position error, and when the amp is initialized, the motor tries to catch up. One option to eliminate the timing issue between controller and amplifier is to "mask on" the /S-ON input. The user can do this by changing Pn50A.2 to 7. After cycling control power, the amp is enabled and ready to run as soon as main power is applied.

	What could be the problem if a computer cannot communicate to a LEGEND-MC over Ethernet? Posted Date: 03/19/2002 Answer: Any device that attempts connection via Ethernet must have a unique IP (Internet Protocol) address. Having an IP address for a device is much like having a phone number for a telephone. As it would be impossible to make a call without a phone number, a connection cannot be established with a device if it does not have an IP address. Many networks use a service called DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) that automatically assigns IP addresses as devices log on to the network. If the PC has not been connected to the network (that uses DHCP), it does not have an IP, therefore cannot connect to the LEGEND-MC . The PC must be configured (using Network Properties) to have an IP address. The Legend-MC must also be configured to have an IP address, using the IA command. (Remember that the IP address assigned to the LEGEND-MC will not be saved during a power cycle unless the BN command is used). What to set the IP address to? This depends on how the PC TCP/IP properties are configured. If the PC has a static IP address of 192.138.7.1 and the Subnet mask is set to 255.255.255.0, the first three places of the IP address for the Legend MC must be the same as the PC. The last place must be different than the PC or any other device on the network. Be careful assigning IP addresses while on a network, as there are proper protocols in place regarding IP address usage/assignment.
