Gibernaus

Hi , in my experience after setting 36901=0 and power-on reset the

Safety status page that you are showing is no longer displayable

because of Safety OFF, so if you still can see it is strange to me.

Anyway if the picture is taken before 36901=0 and your machine data is

30200 $MA_NUM_ENCS[AX5]=1

you have to check also machine data

36912 $MA_SAFE_ENC_INPUT_NR[AX5]=

if the actual value is =2 try to input value =1   and power-on reset.

 Gibernaus,

Thanks for your input. I can see how MD36912 might make things better. I tried two things and I'll detail them below.

First thing I tried:

• MD36901=41h (original value)
  
• MD1301=41h (original value)
  
• MD30200=1
• MD36912=1

The result was no alarms at boot time but when I tried to move the axis it immediately alarmed with a position mismatch. It seems the resolution of encoder 1 doesn't match what the SPL was expecting. In the SI, SPL display the position was 0.100mm on one side and about 0.900mm on the other side.

Second thing I tried:

• MD36901=0h
• MD1301=0h
• MD30200=1
• MD36912=1

The result here was a ton of alarms at boot time. All the alarms had to do with the other axis (NOT the one I'm modifying) With the alarms I was unable to bring the machine up to try moving it. In this case the SI, SPL display for drive #5 (Z3) was blank as you suggested it would be. I'll include some pictures of this condition.

I really appreciate all your time and help

In this second case for alarm 27004 you have a difference between NCK and PLC. If you can read and online the PLC program check why bit DB3#.dbx22.1 is =0 instead of =1 as in NCK side (where # is the axis number, i.e. 1st axis corrisponds to DB31.dbx22.1)
