    Sony SRX-611 emergency stop

    My SRX C61 home positions are: X=-41.626, Y=598.033, Z= .017,R= 5.218. I don't understand how you could be so far off. Could you have a mismatched controller? SCARA robot using a Cartesian controller? Could this be possible? I assume you recently acquired the Sonys so how well do you know the...

    Sony SRX-611 emergency stop

    Still continuing with the original thought...are you certain the sensors on each axis (not the encoders) are functioning in the home position? The home position sensors if moved will change the final home position.You would need to compare your encoder readings@home and verification of the home...

    Sony SRX-611 emergency stop

    It sounds as if someone has altered the factory Home Position settings...perhaps they were changed so special tooling would not be impacted during homing sequence. What SRX model do you have?

    Sony SRX-611 emergency stop

    each axis has a sensor that detects home position as well as absolute encoder feedback. you might want to check each sensor.use the diagnostics menu, goto sensor& CNT screen and examine the values listed for "H", it should be displayed when "on" for each axis.If you do not see it displayed for a...

    You will need LUNA application developement software and SRX Manuals.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=5a8ffce7-27fa-4655-94c0-8dd1ed74c1ac&file=SRXWIN.zip

    niko08, One more thing...did you check Fuse1 on the safety connector board? If it's blown the controller will not "see" the input.

    niko08, Are there any other errors in the error history file that occur at the same time? Sometimes a task file might look for user inputs (input connector in back) and in their absence do an e-stop condition shutdown. The error history file may point you to the missing input.

    Sony SRX-611 emergency stop

    niko08,E342 is very misleading...double check wiring of all safety inputs. You can get that message when there is a problem with the safety connections in the back. EMS(0-3) must be made at the same time. Any interuption there will give you this message. Also, make certain pins 9,12,13 are...

    niko08, Is there a error number displayed as well? I assu me you are using a Teach Pendant and get the error when you attempt to turn the servo on?

    niko08,you need to connect or short the e-stop pins on the safety connector. Pins 1 thru 4 and 9 thru 13.Pins 1&2,3&4 are e-stops. Pins 9 thru 13 are safety barrier inputs.Each group (1-4 and 9-13)can be shorted together for testing.
