	How is a MPiec controller configured to communicate with a MLX-200 robot controller? Posted Date: 02/26/2018 Answer: To configure a MPiec controller to communicate with a MLX-200 robot controller, a EtherNet/IP device must be added, a MLX group must be created, and a driver function block must be added to the project code and run. See the attached document for detailed instructions on how to configure the device.

	How easy is it to use Compass on custom mechanisms? Posted Date: 02/09/2021 Answer: Compass can be used with custom mechanisms that use a world coordinate system. Custom mechanisms would be used through our SyncGroupToGroup function block via a nD Gantry that has virtual axes and the custom mechanism would use a custom group where motion is controlled via kinematic equations to determine position commands. These position commands are then input to a Y_GroupDirectControl function block (inside SyncGroupToGroup).

	How do I run a Yaskawa linear motor without hall sensors? Posted Date: 03/07/2014 Answer: This FAQ describes the required amplifier parameters settings for enabling and operating the polarity detection feature for hall-less operation of Sigma-5 linear motor systems. The polarity detection function detects the magnetic polarity and stores the phase data in the ServoPack relative to the linear scale. This detection routine is initiated automatically the first time a ServoON command is received from the host controller after initial power up of the servo system.

	How do I prevent alarm A.E02 (also seen as 0E02h, 0E02, E02, E02h)? Posted Date: 01/05/2016 Answer: A.E02 (also seen as 0E02h, 0E02, E02, E02h) can be caused by setting values into objects after setting object 2700h = 1 (User Parameter Configuration) and before object 2700h returns to 0. The proper procedure for using object 2700h is (as described in the SERVOPACK EtherCAT CoE Network Module User's Manual: 1. Change FSA (Device Control) state to "Switch on Disabled." 2. Set new paramter setting value (e.g. object 2701h). 3. Set object 2700h to 1 for activiting the "new" user settings. 4. When processing is completed, the value of object 2700h is reset to 0. Do not write to any objects through SDO at until object 2700h is read back as 0. If the above procedure is followed. A.E02 will not occur for that reason. If A.E02 continues to occur, contact Technical Support.

	How do I cure the "Socket Communication Applet Unavailable" error? Posted Date: 06/21/2013 Answer: The web interface for MPiec controllers provides a quick means to check system status and perform test moves via an Ethernet connection. The Machine Operations hyperlink will allow the user to manipulate and exercise the motion axes. On some computer systems, an error message will be generated that indicates "Socket Communication Applet Unavailable". This is likely caused by a missing or incompatible version of the Java Runtime Engine as an add-on to the web browser. The web interface requires Java version 1.4.2 or higher from Sun Microsystems. Combinations involving controller firmware, operating system, explorer version and Java version tested by Yaskawa are shown in the attached. If you continue to experience problems, install the most recent version which is supported by your MPiec Controller.

	How do I create a User-Set scaling in the 1000 series drives? Posted Date: 02/28/2013 Answer: The following example is for a 4-20ma, 0-100 psi transducer. Step 1: Set B5-20 = 3 (User-set) Step 2: Set B5-38=01000 (Display value) Step 3: Set B5-39=1 (Decimal place) With this setup now the drive is going to display 0-100.0 for feedback display. 4ma will equal 0.0psi and 20mA equal to 100.0psi.

	How do I create a Device ID in bacnet? Posted Date: 06/21/2013 Answer: (H) = Hexadecimal Device instance ID = In a Yaskawa drive you can have up to 4194303 unique addresses to address the drive. H5-15 = 3F(H) and H5-14(H) = FFFF(H) add together to make the Device instance Id. This will give you the possible number of 3FFFFF(H) which is equal to 4,194,303. Example: 1.Address 1000 = 3E8(H) H1-14 = 3E8 H1-15 = 0 2.Address 1,000,000 = F4240(H) H1-14 = 4240 H1-15 = F Attachments: 184KB Product Group/Line: Inverter Drives, Z1000 Bypass, Z1000 Configured, Z1000 Drive Topic/Sub Topic: Ask a Technical Question, Applications, Bypass Function, Installation, Instructions, Network Communications, Operation, Options, Parameters, Programming, Specifications Document Number: DRV-93CMAE Published Date: 06/21/2013 Share \| Rate Rate this article :	06/21/2013
