What to do if ABB Controller appears to be working but will not cause motor to turn?
- S
  steelemichaelAug 20, 2025
  If the ABB NextMove e100 controller seems to be working, but the motor isn't turning, consider the following:* Check the connections between the motor and the drive to ensure they are correct.* Confirm that the drive enable output has been configured.* Ensure that while the NextMove e100 is not in error, the drive is enabled and working. When the NextMove e100 is first powered up, the drive should be disabled if there is no program running.

  If the motor runs uncontrollably when the ABB NextMove e100 controller is switched on, check these items:* Make sure that the NextMove e100 and the drive share a common, correct ground connection.* Verify that the correct encoder feedback signal is connected to the encoder input, that the encoder has power (if needed), and that it's functioning correctly.* Confirm that the drive is correctly connected to the NextMove e100 and that there is 0 V at the drive’s demand input when there is zero demand.

Why does motor runs uncontrollably when ABB controller is switched on and servo loop gains are applied?
- D
  Dylan RobertsAug 26, 2025
  If the motor runs uncontrollably when the ABB NextMove e100 controller is switched on (especially when servo loop gains are applied or a move is in progress) and then stops after a short time, consider these checks:* Verify that the encoder feedback signals are connected to the correct encoder inputs and that the demand signal to the drive has the correct polarity.* Ensure that a positive demand signal results in a positive increase in axis position. The ENCODERMODE keyword can adjust encoder input direction, and the DACMODE keyword can reverse DAC output polarity.* Check that the maximum following error is set to a reasonable value. For configuration, following error detection can be disabled by setting FOLERRORMODE=0.

What to do if I cannot connect to the ABB NextMove e100 over TCP/IP?
- S
  Shawn ThomasAug 28, 2025
  If you're unable to connect to the ABB NextMove e100 controller over TCP/IP, check the following:* Ensure that there isn't an EPL manager node (like a NextMove e100 with node ID 240) already on the network. If a manager node exists, you'll need an EPL-compatible router for TCP/IP communication on the EPL network.* Verify that your PC's Ethernet adapter is correctly configured.

What to do if the CANopen bus is ‘passive’ on ABB NextMove e100?
- D
  Donald AyersAug 30, 2025
  If the CANopen bus on your ABB NextMove e100 controller is showing as ‘passive’, check the following:* Make sure 12-24 V is applied between pin 9 (+24 V) and pin 6 or 3 (0 V) of the CAN connector to power the opto-isolators.* Confirm that there is at least one other CANopen node on the network.* Ensure the network is terminated only at the ends, not at intermediate nodes.* Verify all nodes on the network are running at the same baud rate.* Confirm all nodes have unique node IDs.* Check the integrity of the CAN cables.

  Mr. Jeremiah SmithSep 1, 2025
  If the CANopen bus on your ABB NextMove e100 controller is showing as ‘off’, check the following:* Make sure 12-24 V is applied between pin 9 (+24 V) and pin 6 or 3 (0 V) of the CAN connector to power the opto-isolators.* Confirm that there is at least one other CANopen node on the network.* Ensure the network is terminated only at the ends, not at intermediate nodes.* Verify all nodes on the network are running at the same baud rate.* Confirm all nodes have unique node IDs.* Check the integrity of the CAN cables.

Why doesn't the Manager node scan a node on the network using the Mint NODESCAN keyword on ABB NextMove e100?
- E
  Eric Mitchell DVMSep 3, 2025
  If the Manager node on your ABB NextMove e100 controller can't scan or recognize a node using the Mint NODESCAN keyword, consider these points:* The Mint NODESCAN keyword only recognizes nodes conforming to DS401, DS403, and other ABB CANopen nodes. Other node types will be identified as “unknown” (255) when using the Mint NODETYPE keyword.* Ensure the node in question has a unique node ID.* The node must support the node guarding process. Note that NextMove e100 does not support the Heartbeat process.* Try power-cycling the node in question.

What to do if Mint WorkBench loses contact with NextMove e100 ABB Controller while connected using USB?
- B
  Breanna TaylorSep 5, 2025
  If Mint WorkBench loses contact with the NextMove e100 ABB Controller when connected via USB, try the following:* Check that the NextMove e100 is powered.* Verify that a ‘USB Motion Controller’ device is listed in Windows Device Manager. If it's not listed, the PC's USB interface might have a problem.

What to do if the Ethernet POWERLINK network does not seem to be operating correctly on ABB Controller?
- J
  jose22Sep 8, 2025
  If the Ethernet POWERLINK network isn't operating correctly on your ABB NextMove e100 controller, check these items:* Make sure only one device on the network is set as the Ethernet POWERLINK manager node (node ID 240, selector switches LO = F, HI = 0).* Confirm that the reference source on all controlled nodes is set to EPL in the Mint WorkBench Operating Mode Wizard, and that the manager node is configured correctly. For a NextMove e100 manager node, this requires the System Configuration Wizard in Mint WorkBench.* Ensure each device on the network has a unique node ID.* Confirm that there are no more than 10 ‘daisy-chained’ devices on each branch of the network.
