Centroid Community CNC Support Forum

My co-workers are starting to wonder what I'm laughing about... thank you!

My control just came out of demo mode. In a possibly related observation, I recently noticed that M200 no longer creates a prompt and just acts as a normal M0. Is this normal or weird coincidence?

M93 followed by M93 P1 got me what I needed for now, thanks for the tip. I tied that to an aux key to re-enable the drives, which is a bit goofy but will suffice for the time being. If this functionality was available from the PLC I'd be in great shape. I don't have high hopes, but does Centroid acc...

When the Centroid controller opens its e-stop output it becomes a Category 0 stop, which is the e-stop most people think of. Category 0: e-stop button is pushed OR Centroid e-stop output goes low. -Drives should be disabled either via contactor or HWBB -Control/actuator power for powered devices sho...

Breaking the curtain in this configuration is considered a Category 1 stop, which is essentially a very high integrity motion inhibit while the operator is in the machine. I need to prevent the fault and prevent the Category 0 stop (e-stop) when the curtain is broken. The drive won't come out of HWB...

In order to comply withe ISO 13849 performance level C, I'm having to use the Hard Wire Base Block (HWBB) function on the Sigma 5 drives to disable powered motion when a light curtain beam is broken. I've made some concessions in the PLC logic to pause or prevent motion such as turning on Feed Hold ...

Thanks for the clarification guys, got it moving at 4394 RPM with 16,384 cts/rev now.

So it cannot be operated at a lower resolution and I'm stuck at 2197 RPM max?

In tech bulletin 267, the table on the first page implies that you could operate with a lower number of counts/rev to increase the maximum motor speed. However, it's not entirely clear to me how/if this is achieved. I assume that you would change the electronic gear ratio in SigmaWin+ and the encode...
