Important information for commissioning
WARNING | |
Caution – Risk of injury! Electronic equipment is not fail-safe. The machine manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that the connected motors and the machine are brought into a safe state in the event of a fault in the drive system. |
Please be aware each time before commissioning the AX5000 that connected motors can make uncontrolled movements, which cannot always be prevented even by the AX5000’s integrated diagnostic system, or may permit uncontrolled movements until the diagnostic system responds. Analyse your system and take suitable precautions to prevent damage being caused by these uncontrolled movements.
Potential causes of uncontrolled movements:
The diagnostic system of the AX5000 is equipped with complex plausibility checks, which constantly monitor installation, operation, parameterisation and operation and, if necessary, interrupt them with a diagnostic message. The points listed below are naturally also monitored as standard, but it is not possible to include all eventualities; therefore, with respect to the following points, you must always consider whether the driven axes can only perform permissible movements.
- Incorrect commutation results (e.g. during wake & shake), it is essential to observe chapter “Commutation methods-->commutation error “F2A0””
- Specific caution with motors of third parties: always execute the command „P-0-0166“ without load when changing the motor or feedback or when changing the SysMan-file (.TSM) and evaluate the result. Correct the commutation offset if applicable., as described in chapter “Commutation methods”
- Input of invalid parameters
- Measuring transducer and/or signal transducer defective or incorrectly adjusted
- Cables defective or not adequately screened
- Incorrectly attached sensors
CAUTION | |
Increased attention in the case of vertical axes! When commissioning vertical axes, the risk consideration described above is to be carried out with particular care. An uncontrolled movement can mean the sudden falling down of a load in this case. |
