kandauru Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Hi, we use Power Brick Controller and last Power PMAC IDE(2.2.0.39). When I go to Tools->System Setup menu and enter System Setup Window, the power brick controller looks like got reset and all parameters become default. It creates a dangerous situation for us because we work with very heavy bridge in gantry mode. The only thing helps is to recompile and download all again. With Power PMAC controller it does not happen. Please, advise. Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Anikstein Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 After you compile and download your project, did you issue the SAVE command? If you do not, then it will not store your project. Also, are you sure that the Power Brick Controller is getting reset, and it is not just the System Setup Window? When you first open System Setup, it reads some parameters from the PMAC (hardware ID, clock information, and EtherCAT licenses, for instance). However, the rest of the information (Motor/Amplifier information configuration) it takes from a database entry on the computer. If you set up the PMAC with System Setup and then click File -> New -> Setup, your System Setup window will reset, though the PMAC will still have the settings.

kandauru Posted May 16, 2017 Author Share Posted May 16, 2017 Hi, of course I saved my project with SAVE command. When I enter System Setup window the bridge motors behave very dangerously (huge noise, unexpected jerk on motors). Again, I repeat, it happens only with Power Brick Controller. Maybe the switch off/on will help, but I don't want to take a chance. Please, check it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Anikstein Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Do you mean that running the tests in System Setup (in the Test and Commission the Motor section) cause your motor to behave dangerously, or are you saying that just opening System Setup causes them to act up?

Richard Naddaf Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 If you do not have EtherCAT, hold off on using the system setup utility. What do you need to do from it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandauru Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share Posted May 22, 2017 Hi I need it to test my flags (Home, Negative, Positive), make sure that all connected sensors are Ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kandauru Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 NO, I did not get a solution for this problem. I don't use System Setup when we work with Power Brick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
