	Why does Alarm Code '3407 0204 - Unable to set configured network default gateway' appear and how can it be remedied? Posted Date: 11/12/2013 Answer: The Default Gateway provides a route for the MPiec controller to use when communicating with devices on remote networks. The Default gateway address is used when the controller is on a different subnet than the remote device. Solution: If the MPiec will not be on a network, set the Default Gateway to be the same as the controller IP Address to avoid the warning "3407 0204 - Gateway not found". If the MPiec will be on a network, set the Default Gateway based on the router/switch settings. Use the built-in web server of the MPiec controller to configure the IP address and Gateway. - Navigate to the MPiec controllers IP address using Internet Explorer and click on Login... - (If using Internet Explorer 10 or greater, see other FAQs to set the browser in Compatibility Mode.) - Login: Admin (case-sensitive) - Default Password differs slightly depending on product: -- MP2300Siec --> MP2300S -- MP2310iec --> MP2310 -- MP2600iec --> MP2600 -- MP3200iec --> MP3200 1) Navigate to Ethernet Config page from the menu tree. 2) Under Global Settings, enter the Default Gateway. 3) Click Update Global Settings 4) Reboot the controller. Please see the attached pdf for examples on setting the default gateway.

	Why can’t I update my MP23xxiec controller to version 3 firmware? Posted Date: 10/26/2015 Answer: IF YOU SEE THE “Firmware Update Failed!” SCREEN DO NOT REBOOT or the controller can become unusable. Click on “update the firmware” and select the same firmware file that was on the controller. Version 3 firmware for the MP23xxiec controllers contains extra code to present a modern web interface. This has caused the version 3 firmware to consume more memory than the version 2 firmware. Some users will find that they cannot upgrade the firmware if a project is stored on the controller. Also, we have found that some archives created in version 2 cannot be loaded onto version 3 controllers. To upgrade your MP23xxiec controller to version 3: 1. Make sure you have a copy of the project. You may need to load this project manually. 2. Create an archive of the project and save it. 3. Delete all user files (the project) from the controller. 4. Upgrade the firmware. 5. Install the archive. 6. If the archive installation fails, load the project manually, by opening the project, opening Hardware Configuration, saving the configuration to the controller and rebooting, and compiling and downloading the project.

	Why can Android mobile devices be plugged into the GA800 and GA500 with a cable, but not Apple mobile devices? Posted Date: 01/14/2019 Answer: DriveWizard Mobile with the GA800 or GA500 requires mobile devices to support USB-OTG (USB on-the-go). Most Android mobile devices include USB-OTG, but most Apple mobile devices do not; therefore, the only way for Apple devices to communicate with the GA800 and GA500 is via Bluetooth, which requires the Bluetooth version of the keypad. Android mobile devices support both methods (cable connection and Bluetooth).

	While online with MotionWorks IEC and debugging an MPiec controller, what does the error Operand not implemented or area exceeded mean? Posted Date: 03/06/2014 Answer: Operand not implemented or area exceeded! occurs when the IEC application attempts to access a located variable (%I, %M, or %Q address) which is outside the range of all I/O Driver's memory configuration. This error can be generated even if the variable is not used in the program, as in the case when viewing the variable definition worksheet in debug mode. The solution is to confirm that all variables with an address defined are within the defined range for one of the configured I/O drivers. Check the IO_Configuration window to see the address ranges for all I/O Drivers.

	Where can pin out details for the YS-12 cable be found? Posted Date: 07/13/2004 Answer: The attached drawing contains the full details on this serial (RS232) data transfer cable. The following parts will be needed to make this cable: 1) Standard 9 pin female D shell connector (PC side). 2) 24 AWG x 2 pair, 300V shielded cable. 3) Qty. 1 of Yaskawa p/n YSC-1 (mates to 3CN on SGDH, or the 6CN or 7CN when used with Application Modules). YSC-1 consists of 3M p/n's 10114-300VE (connector) + 10314-52A0-008 (shell). This part may also be found through other suppliers. If it is necessary only to increase the length of the cable (and not to build the cable from scratch), a popular option is to buy the YS-12 cable and build a serial "extension" cable. The extension cable is not Yaskawa specific and can thus be used in other RS232 communication applications. Note: Recommended maximum cable length for error free data transfer is 15 meters (50 feet). Longer cables are made at your own risk!

	When using the analog output function on a GPD506/P5, how is the output scaled when output current is selected? Posted Date: 06/12/2014 Answer: The 0-10Vdc output is scaled to 0-100% of the drive rated current. Parameter n052 is used to setup the drive for output current monitoring and n053 sets the analog monitor gain value. For example, if the user wants 0V= 0% and 3V=100%, then use formula n053= Desired voltage @ 100% drive output rating/ 10V. For the above example, n053= 0.3 (See graph attached).

	When using SMC-2000 analog input, where is the ground (common) signal connected? Posted Date: 05/22/2001 Answer: The SMC-2000 analog I/O (I/O1 connector) uses the same ground reference as the internal 5V (control logic) power supply. Therefore, any 5V ground connection (such as AE1-pin23 or AE2-pin23) can be used as a ground reference for the analog input. It should be noted that the analog I/O is optically isolated from the 24V digital I/O.

	When using SigmaWin software, what are the units when graphing torque? Posted Date: 07/13/2004 Answer: When using a matched Servo Pack / Servo Motor combination (eg. SGDH-05xx, SGMGH-05xxxxx) the units are percentage of rated torque. Sigma II allows (for emergency situations) operation of the Servo Pack / Servo Motor combinations of up two times larger or one-half smaller. This affects the units of the torque monitor by displaying the percentage of rated torque for the lowest rated component. For example: If an SGDH-05xx and an SGMGH-09xxxxx were combined, the display units would be percentage of rated torque (current) for the SGDH-05xx. If an SGDH-10xx and an SGMGH-05xxxxx were combined, the display units would be percentage of rated torque (current) for the SGMGH-05xxxxx.

	When using MotionWorks+, is there a way to tell which version of a project is currently in the RAM memory of the MP940 and the last date it was revised? Posted Date: 07/13/2004 Answer: If revision data is needed, it can be managed by generating three CONSTANTS in the MW+ project file: Year, MonthDay, and RevisionNumber. This technique is a common practice among MW+ programmers to consistently maintain revisions. Constant Definitions: "Year": Assign to the initial value of this constant, the year the project was downloaded. "MonthDay": Assign to the initial value of this constant the month and the day the project was downloaded. If the project was downloaded on March 17th , the constant would be 3.17 "Project": Project Number.Revision level - If project number 176 with a revision level of 4 is in the memory, the constant value would be assigned as 176.004 Assign the appropriate data to the initial value to these three constants. By using the data monitoring feature in MW+, the revision number can be seen. Using this method, it is important to remember to change the revision data manually every time a significant change to the project is made. There is no automatic update. To retain each revision, be sure to save any changes as a new project.

	When using an MP920's SVA Servo interface and an absolute encoder on a Sigma II Servopack (SGDH), how is the absolute data requested and confirmed complete in the application program? Posted Date: 09/21/2004 Answer: Instructions for reading (via application program) the absolute encoder: For the case of axis 1: In order to initiate the read OBC000A (Absolute position read request) must transition from OFF (0) to ON (1.) The confirmation flag that the read is complete is IBC000A (Absolute read complete signal) will transition from OFF (0) to ON (1.) If there is a problem with the absolute read, then IBC0004 (Cumulative number of rotations error) will transition from OFF (0) to ON (1.) The OBC000A (Absolute position read request) should not be ON (1) in the "setting parameters." This bit will initiate the absolute encoder read, and is dedicated for the application program. If the Servopack loses control power but the MP920 does not, then the OBC000A (Absolute position read request) bit will have to be toggled OFF then ON again for a re-read of the encoder's absolute position. The application program can test if the Servopack's Control is ON by monitoring the state of the "Broken PG Wire" bit; IBC00232. Please reference section 5.7 in the "Sigma II Series Servo Manual" (YEA-SIA-S800-32.2) for details on how the absolute encoder data transfer works. For more details on SVA servo interface please reference section 5.4 in "Machine Controller MP920 User's Manual Motion Module" (SIEZ-C887-2.5.)

	When using an absolute encoder, is it possible to set the absolute zero position through the Fieldbus Network? Posted Date: 01/09/2002 Answer: An absolute encoder reset must be done to clear the A.81 alarm. For safety reasons, this can only be performed through the SGDH front panel with a Function 8 or through the monitor software. This operation is typically only performed at machine startup when the mechanical system is coupled to the motion control system. Once the absolute zero is set, a new zero point can be established over the Fieldbus Network for the convenience of the user. Define the new zero point by using the Define Zero Point Command in the Set/Read section of Command/Response format - Section 5.3 of the NS300 User Manual.

	When using 2 option cards, I am receiving an OPE06 fault and am not seeing all the F1 parameters. I am using CN5-B for my encoder feedback card. Posted Date: 10/09/2012 Answer: Q: When using 2 option cards, I am receiving an OPE06 fault and am not seeing all the F1 parameters. I am using CN5-B for my encoder feedback card. A: The A1000 uses 3 CN5 connections to interface option cards, as shown in Figure 1 (attached). As we can see on page 440 of manual: SIEPC71061641, PG-X3 should be used on CN5-B or CN5-C. CN5-C should be used as the primary encoder feedback port. If CN5-B is used and CN5-C is not OPE06 will result For more information, reference TOBPC73060076.

	When the personal computer (PC) serial port connection is disconnected from the controller, why does the SMC-2000/3010/4000 controller become unresponsive? Posted Date: 07/13/2004 Answer: The SMC-xxxx products use hardware handshaking, and if there are commands in the program that send unsolicited messages (MG, IN commands) they are transmitted from the default port. The serial port is the default port. The apparent "lock up" is caused when no device connected to the serial port. (The controller sends a character and waits for the hardware handshaking signals before it can continue to the next command.) Since MG commands are typically used for debugging. These messages can be removed and the "lock up" will no longer occur. However, when it is preferred to leave the debugging messages in the program for use at a later time, there are at least three methods for handling this. 1) Use search & Replace to change all MG command into NOTE: MG 2) Create a user variable such as "DEBUG" in the program. Use this variable in the program prior to writing any MG message command. Be sure to initialize it to zero whenever power is cycled; such as DEBUG=0 #AUTO DEBUG=0 Use DEBUG in the program with the MG commands: IF (DEBUG=1) MG"WAITING FOR HOME SIGNAL" ENDIF All three lines above can put the in one line to save program space, the SMC controllers allow 80 characters per line. IF (DEBUG=1); MG"WAITING FOR HOME SIGNAL"; ENDIF This will skip the messages while DEBUG=0. When connected online with the PC, type DEBUG=1 in the terminal window and debug messages will again be displayed. Prior to going offline, either set DEBUG=0 from the terminal or cycle power. 3) Messages can be diverted to an unopened Ethernet handle without causing an error or lock up. Use the CF command to send messages to an Ethernet handle. Note: When connecting to an SMC-3010 or SMC-4xxx controller via Ethernet, Yterm automatically sets the default port (CF Command) to the handle on which the connection was made. When the BN command is executed, the default port is one of the configuration settings that are saved. Make sure to include any important configuration setting in the program to avoid confusion about the actual value of the parameters. ARGUMENTS: CF n where n is A thru P for Ethernet handles 1 thru 16, S for serial port. 4) The last, and least elegant solution is a jumper plug for the SMC serial port. This plug would connect the RTS and CTS pins; effectively making the controller believe that hardware handshaking is connected and working.
