What causes operating system failed error on Allen-Bradley Servo Drives?
If your Allen-Bradley Servo Drive reports 'Operating system failed', cycle the power. Also, check configuration settings to be sure that drive tags setting are valid and your program to ensure there are not explicit messages to internal drive variables which have been noted as unpublished or reserved.
Why is motor overtemperature occurring in Allen-Bradley Kinetix 300 Servo Drives?
If your Allen-Bradley Servo Drive motor is overheating, it could be due to several reasons. Operate within the continuous torque rating for the ambient temperature (40 °C (104 °F) maximum). If the ambient temperature is too high, lower it and increase motor cooling. Also, check the motor wiring and verify that the proper motor has been selected.
What causes drive thermal protection fault in Allen-Bradley Kinetix 300?
If your Allen-Bradley Servo Drive shows a 'Drive Thermal Protection' fault, try the following: * Reduce acceleration rates. * Reduce the duty cycle (ON/OFF) of commanded motion. * Increase the time permitted for motion. * Consider using a larger Kinetix 300 drive and motor. * Check the tuning.
What causes bus overvoltage in Allen-Bradley Kinetix 300 Servo Drives?
If you are experiencing a bus overvoltage error with Allen-Bradley Servo Drives, it could be due to excessive regeneration of power or excessive AC input voltage. Try changing the deceleration or motion profile. You might need a larger system (motor and Kinetix 300 drive) or a resistive shunt. If a shunt is connected, verify the wiring is correct. Also, verify the input voltage is within specifications.
Why is drive temperature too high in Allen-Bradley Kinetix 300?
If your Allen-Bradley Servo Drive's temperature is too high, check for clogged vents or a defective fan. Ensure cooling is not restricted by insufficient space around the unit and check the ambient temperature in the enclosure. Also, reduce acceleration rates, reduce the duty cycle (ON/OFF) of commanded motion, and increase the time permitted for motion.
What does wrong indexing mode mean on Allen-Bradley Kinetix 300 Servo Drives?
If your Allen-Bradley Servo Drive displays 'Wrong Indexing Mode', change the Index Type or ReferenceSource to values that are supported by selecting Linear or Rotary Unwind mode. This issue occurs when the Index Type or ReferenceSource is not supported in the configured Linear/Rotary Unwind mode.
What does bad battery mean on Allen-Bradley Kinetix 300 Servo Drives?
If you're getting a 'Bad battery' error on your Allen-Bradley Servo Drive, it indicates that the Tamagawa absolute feedback battery voltage is low or missing. Replace the battery. A battery error is set at drive powerup when main power to the encoder is not present or the battery voltage is below 2.75V.
How to troubleshoot status indicator not displaying messages on Allen-Bradley Kinetix 300?
If the status indicator on your Allen-Bradley Kinetix 300 Servo Drive isn't displaying any messages, first check that AC power or back-up power is applied to the drive. If the power is present and the indicator remains blank, it may indicate an internal power supply malfunction. In that case, contact your Allen-Bradley representative.
What causes absolute move fault on Allen-Bradley Kinetix 300?
If your Allen-Bradley Servo Drive shows an 'Absolute move fault', it means you initiated a move without being homed. When using an absolute encoder, home the axis before attempting an absolute move.
What to do if software overtravel occurs on Allen-Bradley Kinetix 300 Servo Drives?
If your Allen-Bradley Servo Drive is experiencing a 'Software overtravel' issue, it means that the programmed overtravel limit has been exceeded. Verify the motion profile and ensure the overtravel settings are appropriate.
