    Siemens 611u 799 fault

    Hi everybody, I'm using an 2-axis system, p/n 6SN1118-1NH01-0AA0, controlled via profibus, p/n 6SN1114-0NB00-0AA2, by a 315DP PLC. The customer told us they keep getting A799 fault almost daily. I wrote some logic that allows the operators to re-reference the servo position (parameter 175) via...

    DC motor FLA

    hey guys, I'm using a 120/220VAC drive to power a 1/3 HP DC motor. I want to calculate the FLA. What's the formula??? Can I use this relatioship 1HP =746W =746x1Vx1Amp ? Thank you,

    Solenoid control

    hey guys, I'm new in the field and I'm running into this basic problem that's giving a headache. I got a pneumatic slide that's supposed to go up and down. It's controlled by a double sol, 2 position (I'm pretty sure that's the type of valve on the machine now). The valve power is tied to a...

    Simodrive 611U reference position

    Hi everyone, What can cause a servo motor to lose its refernce position? I ran into a problem when my motor lost its home position. It showed that the slide was at home even though it was sitting in the middle position. I had to set the reference position again in Simocom U to get it to work. I...

    Short Cicuit Current Rating for control panel

    NEC 2005 Aricle 409 requires SCCR rating label on control panel, so far 31 states have adopted this. I'm doing SCCR calculation on my panel (50 KA SCCR required) and have a very fundamental question: My panel has 2 transformers: one auxiliary disconnect and one control. The PRIMARY sides of...

    NEC 2005, Article 409

    I'm doing short circuit current rating for my panel as required ny NEC 2005, article 409 (first time doing this so please bear with me). I have some questions: 1) According to article 409, power transformer's not included in the SCCR calculation. Why ? and I assume this means that I don't have...

    Siemens FC10 string compare

    Hi, I'm scanning a code from each box to compare and see if the box scanned is a "good" box. The whole code is about 21 bytes and I only want to compare 9 bytes since those 9 bytes differentiate between the 2 types of box. I created (2) 9-byte strings in DB98, string1[9] starts at 0.0 and...

    transformer voltage

    I'm using a 460VAC/230VAC single phase transformer. My customer insists wanting to have 440VAC/220VAC one instead. The ratio between the two transformers are the same. How different are the two? Are they essentially the same ? Thank you,
