I have been trying to troubleshoot an odd ethernet issue. It's been narrowed down to the CPU board proper. I have 3 CPU cards, only one has good ethernet performance. This board has a revision number 604045-106. The boards that are not working well are 604045-107. We use GPASCII and SENDGETSENDS with the ethernet communction. And they are not pushing data though at the same rates with the new boards. Is there any configuration on these that would affect them? I have all 3 boards running the same firmware (2.3.2.5), and same project downloaded by the same version of the IDE (in-case the complier is differnt. As far as I can tell all boards are also running the …

I have a macro loop set up. And we're having issues with very short feedback spikes. Sub 100 micro seconds. Very large spikes. Causing following error faults. We have troubleshooted it down the to the macro loop (took a while since it looked like electrical noise). We currently have Encoder Table MaxDelta set to 0 for all axes and the manual recommends against this, Is there an easier calculator for setting this value? We have 24 bit feedback. But the units are in LSB feedback per servo cycle. I need to translate that to counts/second basically. Is there a quick and dirty formula available as I hunt down the servo cycle time?

Three times in the past few weeks we have had failures of the Amp Enable on the Acc24E3 cards at three different customer sites. These are operating Glentek and Trust drives, both at TTL levels with internal 10k pullups to 5V. These machines have been functioning normally for periods up to two years. Are these physical relays, and if so, what is the MTBF/MTTF?

I want to link two linear units to one unit using Yaskawa's FT77. (Yaskawa call it thrust assist mode.) In that case, can I tune from PMAC? Connecting is analog torque.

I have a motor that is tripping a fatal following error fault when the observed following error is well below the Motor[x].FatalFeLimit. I've used the plot/gather system to prove that the following error is 25% of the limit when the FeFatal error kicks on. This only occurs when using a handwheel (master follower) or jog commands/jog ribbon. If I grab the axis and push it by hand, it trips the FeFatal error at the correct limit value. The motor jogs fine with the limit set to 0 (disabled). So I know it's not a drive fault kicking the motor off. Any reccomended troubleshooting steps?

I did the experiment with a virtual Aixs on ppmac Ck3m. i am generating a trajectory , The key point is show at "Tag1" in the following code. I want the pmac to generate a trajectory with a constant velocity of 30 um/MS hold for 22 MS . actually, I via Gather tool found the constant vel trajectory can't hold for 22 MS, but looks like it's held for 20 MS. 😵Delay the specified speed by about 1 MS, and Slow down 1 MS early.I post the origin Gather data at last. Looking forward to any response!!! The move program: undefine all &1 #1->2x Coord[1].FeedTime = 1 Coord[1].NoBlend = 0 open prog 61 …

Feel like I'm missing something in my IDE. Using PowerPMAC IDE 4.3.0.107 with an arm,LS1021A Firmware 2.6.0.0 When adding new variables, they do not seem to populate. Hovering over the tags shows this: Type : Global Name : homingSlvEpoxyChanger Value : stdin:9:2: error #20: ILLEGAL CMD: homingSlvEpoxyChanger Also tried to add a new .pmc and get ProjectLoadErr. The project will build but will not download. Output shows this: Error: Opening File: "/var/ftp/usrflash/Project/PMAC Script Language/Libraries/homeSlvEpoxyChanger.pmc" I've tried just building, build and download, saving, $$$. Feel like something is missing…

Turbo Clipper PWM-version servo loop tuning follows somewhat different rules than most True DAC PMACs, so a lot of the equations in the manuals and guides don't seem to cross over directly. For instance the Power PMAC Turbo I-Variable Equivalents 2014-01.pdf shows Equations for Servo Gains on page 10, but I can't use those directly, correct? If I'm converting from Turbo Clipper to CK3M, does DTO have equations for that use case? We're using the filtered-PWM version of the AX interface modules; do those follow different rules regarding Servo Gains than True DAC versions as well?

Will the code below work such that even_number is false if count is odd, true if count is even? Any issue with count actually being a floating point number instead of an integer? Seems not working in the field (count is always 0) but I don't have the hardware at hand to test. global count global even_number count = 2; if ((count & $1) == 0) even_number = 1 else even_number = 0

Hello, I recently attempted to upgrade the FW on a 465 PMAC processor and discovered that the ethernet ports will no longer start at boot after the update. I can connect via the serial port and start the ethernet ports using ifup, so I think the network config in interfaces is ok. Once I start the eth ports I can connect using the IDE. Once connected, the FW update appeared successful and I was able to download and run my project. If I reboot or power down the processor, I have to connect serially to get the eth port running again. Running IDE V 4.5.2.9 Interfaces file attached. I've tried to flash it back to 2.5.0.4 and 2.4.0.180 to see if…

Hi, I had problems with a PowerBrick LV, where one channel was behaving strange. In most configurations connected motors did not move. As the resistance between one of the amplifiers motor phases and GND of all other channels was zero, I guess that the amp was broken. No I switched the PowerBrick against a similar one we had in spare. I uploaded the project, connected everything and found - that nothing was moving. Having a deeper look into the controllers config brought up, that the clocks were configured in a completely different way. But even after setting them the same way as in the old controller didn't help. If I jog a motor, everything that happens is, th…

hello. I have a question about how to use Dynamic Break in TurboPMAC, ACC-24E2 + ServoTronix CDHD PWM Drive combination. In this project, we plan to use a combination of PowerPMAC (ArmCPU) and ACC-24E3 ServoTronix CDHD PWM Drive. It seems that there are parts that change as the CPU changes. When I searched the SRM document, it was identified as the AdcStrobe variable when using Gate1 and the AdcAmpCtrl variable in the case of Gate3. Please inquire about how to use this function. Documents previously referenced are attached separately. ServiceChannelCommand.txt, ServiceChannelQuery.txt The code I used based on the attached document is as follow…

Hello. I"m Using Power PMac(UMac) I Have a program NC-code witch has three sub-programs. sub prog size is 1. 2 MB, 2. 80 MB, 3. 100 MB, each. The Problem is... It takes a lot of time for downloading sub prog. and my PMac's memory amount is only 320 MB. so i can not use sub=prog that size exceed over 300 MB(aprox) is there anyway to run program directly from usb memory or hdd of PC? Like Fanuc Controller SYstem? or Using Rotary Buffer is the only way to solve this program? If anyone has same issue of me, or know the answer about this. Please Answer me. Thank…

Is there a better way to save normal user variables other than either adding them to the pp_custom_save.tpl or going into the ppmac, uploading the pp_save.tpl, modifying it, and downloading it? Sina posted directions to upload the pp_save.tpl from the IDE a couple of years ago, but it no longer seems to work.

We support machines that have varying hardware, but otherwise operate mostly the same. In particular I'm thinking about servo motors/amplifiers (and even gear-drives with differing gear ratios). We've been supporting some of these machines for over 20 years, and others are only a couple years old or even newer. As products are phased out, we are forced to change to newer parts with different characteristics, and the software must adapt to this. We are now at the point where Turbo PMAC Clipper is not really available anymore, so we are working on moving over to CK3M. As some of the older machines have components fail, we must upgrade them with parts that are currently…

Hi, I would like to ask how to change the resolver direction in PowerBrick LV. I followed the User's Manual: Motor[].PhaseOffset = – present value Motor[].PwmSf = – present value PowerBrick[].Chan[].EncCtrl = the opposite decode of the present value (e.g. 7 or 3) If using resolver or halls absolute power-on phasing: Motor[].AbsPhasePosSf = – present value Motor[].AbsPhasePosOffset = 2048 – present value If using resolver absolute power-on position: Motor[].AbsPosSf = – present value After that, I downloaded the code, read absolute position, did manual phasing. Phasing successfully However, the resolver direction did not change. Do you have any id…

Hello. I'm using PMac APM CPU (485). I need to sizing up my memory, because i need to download 500MB size NC-Code. After i size up memory to 510MB, Download, Save, ReBoot, WatchDog has red light, and My Power PMac doesn't working. Can't connect by PMac IDE. i tried to initialize PPMac, by taking off my Axis Control Card, Reboot. but it does not working. Is there anyway to initialize my Power PMac? I can't use pmac ide S/W Because, in PMac IDE, i can't connect to my PPMac. i ping to 192.168.0.200 by CMD. it was responded. if anyone has anything solution about this, le…

Dear All, I'm trying to save a project after building and downloading successfully. Unfortunately, it throws a list of error stating that the files are READ-ONLY. Also the variables created are accessible until PMAC is powered off. Once powered OFF all the parameters are missing. Can I know what causes these issues? Thank you.

I have a lathe project where the operator wants the zero position to be in the middle of the chuck and the home position to be at the beginning of the travel where the home switch is. I currently have it programmed to perform a home search move until it hits the home switch but then the zero is not in the center where they want it. Is there an effective way to do this without installing a switch in the middle of the travel? thank you

Here is a sample of the code I am trying to run. The tool will move to the correct offset position, will spiral down to -0.180, completing the second line of the spiral, then it simply stops and I have an error.
