Hickory X Axis communication In fault with Leadshine EL8
Posted: Tue Oct 31, 2023 11:49 pm
Hi,
I am working through the setup instructions for Hickory and EL8. I believe I have followed the instructions accurately, but at step 7 I still have a remaining fault - X Axis Communication In Fault. According to the CNC12 manual, this error is related to parameters 300-307 as I first get a 949 Drive map does not match hardware error before the repeated X Axis fault error.
This error was alongside other errors including spindle fault errors as I was using the default Hickory mpu plc program which had these inputs configured. I adjusted the PLC program to no longer look for any inputs to test things in a bench configuration (This is included in the report file with AbrasiveBlaster appended to the src file name). I am not sure that my edits are correct, but both using my current mpu plc and the default Hickory PLC, the X Axis fault remains.
I currently have a single EL8 drive connected which I call X. Parameter 300 is set to 1, 301-307 are set to 0. 308 is set to 7, 309-315 are set to 0.
For the ethernet cable connection between Hickory and EL8, I see a solid green light on both the drive and Hickory, and fast flashing orange (about 10Hz?) light on both the drive and Hickory.
Is it possible that this is related to parameter 316 not being set correctly? Currently 316 is set at 0, which is not correct for an absolute encoder used with EL8, but this parameter is not meant to be changed until step 9 of the instructions.
Report file is attached, I hope I did this correctly. Thank you.
