Troubleshooting During

Commission and Startup

Use this section to diagnose and correct troubles encountered while using
RSLogix 5000 software to commission and startup your linear stage.

In the Hookup tab of Axis Properties, click on the Test Command and Feedback
button to verify wiring and commissioning of your linear stage. The following
table lists possible solutions for problems encountered while performing this test:

Operational

Troubleshooting

Use this section to diagnose and correct troubles with a direct drive or ball screw
driven linear stage after it has been commissioned. Read the entire section to
understand the kinds of troubles you may encounter and the possible fixes.

The evaluation procedures for direct drive and ball screw linear stages will help
you determine if faulty stage operation indicates a need to lubricate the stage or a
more fundamental problem. To interpret error codes reported by the drive, refer
to the

Troubleshooting Procedures for Ball Screw Linear Stages

table on

page 79

,

or the drive manuals referenced on

page 75

.

Description

Possible Cause Corrective

Action

Initialization stops at SERCOS
Level 3 and Logix software
reports Motor Attribute Error.

Incorrect motor catalog number. Enter correct motor catalog

number.

Incorrect drive firmware.

For Kinetix 6000 and Kinetix
2000 drives, verify the firmware
revision is 1.96 or later,
For a Ultra3000 drive, verify the
firmware revision is 1.52 or
later.

Using a previously defined axis. Delete and recreate the axis.

Drive reports error E04, E11, or
E07.

Incorrect feedback wiring.

Verify feedback wiring. Refer to

pages 112…114

.

TIP

Hookup test may fail if friction and weight forces exceed 20% of the
stage’s continuous force rating.

Description

Possible Cause Corrective

Action

Linear stage, direct drive or ball
screw, passes Hookup test but
the carriage jumps position
when the axis is enabled.

Wiring of the Hall signals with
relation to the motor’s power
wiring is incorrect.

Verify wiring of Hall signals (S1,
S2, and S3) and power wires
(U, V, and W).

Direct drive linear stage fails
Hookup test, but wiring is
known to be correct.

Incorrect drive firmware.

Verify the Kinetix 6000 drive or,
Kinetix 2000 drive has
revision 1.96 or later firmware.
Verify you are using revision
16.00 or later of Logix software.
