thank you for sharing your knowledge, excellent series

I am trying to run your code but it doesn't work. I don't have a proximity device so I just fake it with a toggle. McReset.Done never goes TRUE, it remains FALSE. I can force it true and then things work. The McReset.Error is TRUE and the ID is 1793. The manual tell me that it is due to "Service is not Supported by the Server". The Axis was defined automatically when I had the system scan for devices. Their might be a setting I missed. Any Suggestions?

[@SquishyBrained]

Forcing it with a bit is fine instead of a switch or digital input. My guess is if the move never gets done then it's because you're exiting the state where you're calling the function block, and after the rising edge of the true bit you have to continue calling the function block until completion.

Hi, please I need your help with generating 2 separate motion profiles: 1. A varying amplitude sine wave 2. A circular motion wave. The two waves are meant to control my motor. It is a school task and I have been having difficulty with it. Thank you in advance.

Hi, It's me again. I followed the video but when I want to start, MC_Power does not go true. I get the Error ID 4B09 which says "axis is not ready". The three inputs from mc_power are all true. Axis is not ready is not really helpful information. Do you know where the issue could be? Did I maybe set up my axis wrong? I am using a AM3033 with a AX5206

[@SquishyBrained]

Basically access not ready means that even though you asked it to enable, something kept it from doing so. My guess would be that you need to go and configure the power settings in the drive manager, or you need to make sure that you've wired the drive properly and it has both its high and low voltage inputs. If I'm recalling correctly, you need to supply the 200 volt AC or higher as well as 24 volt dc. If you can't get it worked out, I would love to help but I don't have time right now, but if you have purchased the hardware you can call back off and get a support engineer to do a screen share with you and they will get you up and running

Hi, I got an ERROR on McReset (Error value 16#00000701). Can you please help me. I got directly in Case 999.

[@SquishyBrained]

701 means general device error. My guess is that you don't have the PLC version of the drive IO linked to a proper NC axis

Hello, This is K.S.Kim I am using TwinCAT2 (x64) and I followed with your episode. But iState can not be transferred to 30 from 20 with errorID 19209. How can I fix this?

[@SquishyBrained]

Have a look at the ADS and NC error code PDF from beckhoff. "19209. "Axis is not ready" The axis is not ready and cannot be moved." So, if you have no servo drive linked, it should go ready when you power it up with MC_Power, and just be a virtual axis. If you have a real servo, stepper slice, etc, you'll need to find out why it is not reporting 'ready' in its status word that gets sent to NC. It could be that you are trying to make a move without it being told to power up first.

Are you familiar with Panasonic plc family? what do you think? i am programming the FP7 and FP0r series in ST with FPWin software and they are really nice. i could create very complex applications with cam, gearing and clutch features, using the standard libraries and output in traditional pulse/dir. then i saw your videos showing the ethercat system and i wonder how much time i would save cabling the machines... I will try bbeckhoff soon!

What is it went to error What will be the code in 999: step

[@SquishyBrained]

For this example, nothing really since it won't error. In the real world, you'd want to report the error to the user via the him, or try to recover automatically, etc.

You can help me with the Collision Avoidance library for the XTS, I do not know if you used it, I'm a bit confused.

[@SquishyBrained]

Sorry, I've not used it.
