	How to program HOA for P7 drive? Posted Date: 07/17/2012 Answer: Pending on the digital operator you have you will not be able to use HOA in a P7 drive. JVOP-160 will not allow HOA function because there is no HAND or AUTO button. -Work around - wiring Cust would have to wire up terminal S5 and SN for Multi speed ref. This will toggle between D1-01 and A2. Analog ref would now be wired to A2 and AC. (Make sure S1 dip switch is set correctly according to H3-08) Set B1-01 =00 D1-01 = Desired speed H1-03 = 3 H1-04 = 4 H3-08 = 0 for 0-10vdc, 1 for 4-20ma H3-09 = 2 Product Group/Line: Inverter Drives, P7 Drive Topic/Sub Topic: Ask a Technical Question, Programming Document Number: DRV-8W4LSR Published Date: 07/17/2012 Share \| Rate Rate this article :	07/17/2012

	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. This document contains flowcharts that can be used as an aid in writing the program in the master controller. The flowcharts describe a specific sequence of communications used to enable, position, or jog the servomotor.

	How many registers are there for each data type (bit, word, long, float), and how are the LONG and REAL data types referenced? Posted Date: 07/13/2004 Answer: There are 32768 global M-registers, addressed from 0 to 32767. All bit, word, long & floats exist in the same area. They are freely allocated as bit, word, long, or float by the programmer. The LONG and REAL data types are referenced as one word and the second word is implicitly used. For this reason, when specifying LONG and REAL, it is good practice to address them using even numbered registers. For example, ML00000, MF00002, ML00004. For more information regarding register allocation recommendations, please refer to this other FAQ LINK.

	How many cam table points are available in the MPiec Series Controllers? Posted Date: 08/15/2013 Answer: The number of cam table points available depends on several factors, including memory allocation set through the IEC environment, the number of active cam tables at any given time, and how cams are being used by the application. The first factor is the memory allocation in the controller which only applies to the MP23xxiec. This determines how much memory is available for cam tables and how much is available for program execution. In the default memory configuration, the MP23xxiec controller has 7.5MB dedicated to active cam tables and 3.5 MB for the running memory of the IEC program. Large IEC programs, however, may require more running memory than the default, so there is an option in MotionWorks IEC to change from the default memory settings to 6.5 MB for the running memory and only 4.5MB of memory for active cam tables. This memory allocation function is not available with the MP2600iec controller because it is unlikely that a single-axis program will run into memory limits. It is also unnecessary with the MP3200iec controller because due to a much greater available memory (20MB for running cam tables and 52MB for IEC program memory). Each point in a cam table (master/follower pair) consumes 16 bytes of memory. A typical cam table may have a 360 degree master cycle and a desired resolution of 0.1 degrees (a master/follower pair ever 0.1 degrees or 3600 pairs total). This would require only 57600 bytes (0.055 MB) of memory. Even at the minimum memory settings, over 300 cam tables of this size could be active. A higher resolution would obviously require more memory. If application requirements require more cam table points than the available memory allows, there are a few options for reducing the cam table memory requirements: -- Reduce the master axis resolution for the cam table (or part of it): If the actual master position falls between two points on the cam table, the controller will automatically do a linear interpolation based on the previous and next master positions. Therefore, straight-line segments of the cam table, i.e. segments where the master and slave have a linear relationship, can be defined with only a start point and an end point. -- Use the CamGenerator function block for on-the-fly cam table generation: Often, flexible cam tables are required to allow for several different products or processes. However, a hundred different products doesn't have to mean 100 different cam tables are required. In most applications, only a few key parameters change from product to product. In these cases Yaskawa recommends calculating cam tables on-the-fly with the CamGenerator function block (found in the Cam Toolbox). -- Use the Y_ReleaseCamTable function block to free up memory from cam tables no longer needed: Cam tables will continue to take up memory even if they are no longer being used. To reclaim this memory, use the Y_ReleaseCamTable function block (found in the PLCopen_Plus firmware library).

	How long will a Sigma II absolute encoder remember its absolute position data without a battery attached? Posted Date: 07/13/2004 Answer: If the battery voltage drops below the minimum voltage of 2.7V, an A.83 alarm will occur on the SGDH amplifier to signal that battery replacement is necessary. The battery should be replaced as soon as possible. If the battery is removed (or the encoder cable is disconnected) while control power to the SGDH amplifier is off, the absolute encoder will lose its position data within 2 to 3 seconds. To prevent the encoder from losing its data, make sure you replace the battery while the SGDH amplier control power is on. After the battery has been replaced, the power to the amplifier should be cycled.

	How is the P1000 rated and what are its limitations? Posted Date: 06/29/2012 Answer: The P1000 provides variable torque capability to align itself with centrifugal load applications such as fans and pumps. Continuous full torque is provided at full speed with an overload capability of 120% for 60 seconds. Continuous torque at lower speeds is restricted to variable torque levels (square of percent speed). This variable torque capability is different and more restrictive than the 'normal duty' rating associated with other products such as A1000, therefore the P1000 is not appropriate for any constant torque applications.

	How is the MP940 analog input used? Posted Date: 04/20/2001 Answer: The MP940 analog input is actually wired into the SGDH amplifier [1CN pin 5 (VREF) and pin 6 (SG)], but there are registers available in the MP940 to read the value of that input. These I/O variables are listed in MW+ as "Sigma_Analog_Input" (also available in MotionWorks at address IW0001) and "Sigma_Analog_Input_Voltage". "Sigma_Analog_Input" is an integer word that has a value between -32768 and 32767, while "Sigma_Analog_Input_Voltage" is scaled as a floating point number to reflect the actual input voltage (-12.0 to +12.0). A voltage reference exceeding 12V will cause "Sigma_Analog_Input_Voltage" to be a value of 12.0 volts. Example usage: A customer wants to control the jog speed of his motor with the analog input. The jog speed should vary from -MaxSpeed to +MaxSpeed (MaxSpeed is a variable). To accomplish this, set the jog block's speed property as "Sigma_Analog_Input / 32768 * MaxSpeed". The first half of this expression (Sigma_Analog_Input / 32768) will scale the voltage so it returns a value of -1 to 1, and multiplying this result by MaxSpeed will make the jog speed vary from -MaxSpeed to +MaxSpeed as desired. Note: The analog input can actually accept a signal up to 15VDC, but the analog-to-digital conversion is linear only to -12 to +12 volts. The following document explains this further.

	How is the home sensor wired when using an SGDH with an NS600? Posted Date: 07/24/2013 Answer: When connecting an NS600 to the SGDH, the NS600 will mask off all of the digital input signals and set them according to Table 3.5 as shown on page 3-6 of the Indexer User's Manual. Pin 44 is configured by the NS600 to act as the /DEC switch (Home Input), which causes deceleration and search for the C-pulse (or whatever method is configured by Pn823.) Note that Pin 44 can be configured for N.O. or N.C. by parameter 80E. To run the homing routine, the Indexer must be placed into Mode 1 by selecting Mode 1 using the Mode 0/1 switch on Pin 3 of the NS600's CN4. After selecting Mode 1, the /Start-Stop; /HOME switch on Pin 5 of the NS600 Cn4 must be set to ON to begin the homing routine. Both of these signals can be configured for N.O. or N.C. by parameters Pn803 and Pn804 respectively.

	How is the error “The application image could not be bound to the kernel firmware profile!” corrected? Posted Date: 01/04/2019 Answer: When the resource dialog is opened, this error is shown if the project was compiled with build settings that are greater than the firmware build on the controller, and a function block is included in the project that is newer or has newer behavior than the firmware. For example if the program was compiled with build settings of MP3300iec 3.5.0 and the controller firmware is 3.3.0, and the project contains a function block that was added or modified since version 3.3.0. To correct the issue, recompile with equal (recommended) or lower build settings. Build settings are found by right clicking on the “Resource” node in the “Physical Hardware” section of the tree and selecting “Settings”.

	How is the download error “The sum of static data size and dynamic data size exceeds the physical available data memory size” fixed? Posted Date: 11/28/2018 Answer: This error is usually generated when retained variables are included in a project and the controller does not support them. The Sigma-7Siec controller does not support retained variables, and the user cannot add them directly; however, retained variables can be added inadvertently by including a user library which employs retain variables. This error is most commonly caused by including the AbsolutePositionManager function block (from the PLCopen_Toolbox) in the project. To clear the error: 1. Remove the AbsolutePositionManager function block. 2. Delete the variable of Data Type AbsolutePositionManager that was created when the function block was added. 3. Recompile the project. Note: This error can also be caused by any user library that is included and contains retained variables.

	How is the "false" port of the timer block used? Posted Date: 05/21/2001 Answer: The timer block has two ports and is considered an operation state block. The "True" port is output only when the timer has completed its time out, and ready to transfer to the next block (or state). The "False" port is output before time out. The false port must be looped back to the input of the timer block to remain within the timer state. If the state is changed (ie - if another state block is executed), the timer action will hault until that timer state is re-entered. For that reason, the false port should not be used to perform other actions or execute other blocks, while the timer is counting. The timer block should be considered as a "Pause" state utility. If an application requires different actions based on time (for example, jogging at a given speed for five seconds before increasing to a faster speed), a manual timer can be created using the "mTime" system variable. Please read the attached document for further information on how to accomplish this.

	How is task sharing accomplished in the SMC controllers? Posted Date: 05/21/2001 Answer: The SMC controllers can execute up to four tasks (also called threads) at one time. In general, each task has equal priority, and each task (program) will run one LINE at a time. The task execution can be manipulated using "task pausing" and "task hogging". Pausing a task is accomplished by using "trip points" in the program, such as "after move" (AM), "after time" (AT), or "after input" (AI) commands. These commands temporarily pause the program until a certain condition is met. For example, the command "AI -1" will pause the task until input 1 goes low. During this time, the other thread will continue to execute, but the "paused" thread will wait. In addition, a thread can also be completely halted by using the HX command. Hogging a thread is accomplished by putting multiple commands on a single line. Each LINE will execute fully, regardless of the number of commands on that line. Individual commands are separated by semicolons. Each line can have up to 80 characters.

	How is integer division accomplished when using MotionWorks+? Posted Date: 05/21/2001 Answer: MotionWorks+ software uses C/IEEE standard of performing mathematical functions. When an integer is divided by another integer, the result is an integer. The same holds true if integer division is performed as part of a greater operation. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Example 1: PosFloat= (60/75) * mPosition_Actual "mPosition_Actual" is a floating point number and "PosFloat" is a floating point variable. It would be expected that "PosFloat= (60/75) * mPosition_Actual" would return 0.8 * mPosition_Actual, but MotionWorks+ evaluates the integer pair (60/75) as an integer (0), so the result is also 0. To make this equation work correctly, the equation that must be used is "PosFloat = (60.0/75.0) * mPosition_Actual". ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Example 2: Distance_Float = Distance / Conversion Variables "Distance" and "Conversion" are both integers, and the variable "Distance_Float" is a floating point variable. "Distance_Float = Distance / Conversion" will evaluate as integers, with the result being the integer result of the division stored as a float. If Distance=21 and Conversion=4, the result of this division will be 5 instead of the expected 5.25. To make this equation work properly, the integer variables must be converted to floating point values BEFORE the division. The correct equation would be "Distance_Float = (Distance * 1.0) / (Conversion * 1.0)." It is important to use the floating point number 1.0 in the equation, and not the integer 1. As long as one of the first two elements in the division (either Distance or Conversion) is floating point, then the internal registers will treat it as a floating point calculation.

	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.

	How is External Positioning (latch target) setup in an MP920/930 SVB mode over mechatrolink? Posted Date: 07/13/2004 Answer: External Positioning (EX_POSING) is essentially the same as what is commonly known as latch target. In this mode, the axis is commanded to make a move to an absolute distance. If it is interrupted by a latch signal, the axis will move a defined distance after the latch position. Example using an MP920: Assume the following: - Control is via mechatrolink with SVB-01 module - SGDH with NS100 module - SGMAH motor with 13 bit encoder - Using Axis #1 - Fixed parameter #8 = 2048 ppr (encoder resolution prequad) - Fixed parameter #17 = 0013H (cmd unit in inches, elec gearing enabled) - Fixed parameter #18 = 3 (three decimal places) - Fixed parameter #19 = 5890 (5.890" per rev) - Fixed parameter #21 = 3 (3:1 gear box) - Fixed parameter #22 = 1 - Latch is wired into SGDH 1CN, +24VDC pin 47 (+24VIN), latch switch sink to common pin 44 (EXT1) Note: OLC012 = Absolute default move distance to move if latch is not received, in user units. Suppose the user would like to set the default move distance to move 1 rev of the final output shaft. This value would get set to 5890 (5.890" with 3 decimal places). OLC024 = Latch distance to move after latch is received, in post quad pulses. Suppose the user would like to set the distance after latch to 1 rev of the output shaft. This value would get set to 24576 (2048ppr43) ILC008 = actual position feedback in user units ILC006 = last latch position in user units Sequence: Check that system is ready and servo is enabled Set OLC024 = 24576 Set OLC022 (speed) Set OWC020=2 (Ext_Posing mode) AND OLC012=9000 at the same time (in the same scan) If latch is not received, the position traveled should verify 9000 user units (ILC008) If latch is received, the position traveled should verify 24576 pulses AFTER the latch position meaning: ILC008-ILC006 should be equal to 5890 user units, and the output shaft should have turned 1 rev (24576 pulse) * (1rev/20484pulse) (1rev_out/3rev_in) * (5890usr_units/rev) = 5890 user units A similar approach can be used when applying to an MP930 See attached .JPG below for a speed/distance chart.

	How is automatic (self) configuration performed on an MP-2300? Posted Date: 12/19/2006 Answer: Self-configuration can be executed by either turning the power ON with the CNFG and INIT switches ON, or it can be executed from MotionWorks (MPE720). The procedure for executing self-configuration using the CNFG and INIT switches is shown below. The allocated I/O register numbers may change when self-configuration is executed, if modules are not in the same slot as originally configured. Self-configuration eliminates the need to make settings for Module definitions, making it possible to perform startup work easily and quickly for the MP2300 system. Optional Modules are recognized and definition files are generated automatically. Input registers and output registers are automatically allocated to I/O. Allocation is performed in ascending order from the Module with the lowest option slot number. The lowest slot number is nearest the CPU (The CPU is considered slot #0). For networks, such as Mechatrolink and DeviceNet, information about the station configuration is collected and definition files are generated automatically. See the attached .PDF file for a diagram of the self-configuration including flow chart and further information.
