Re: Travel Limits spontaneously changed "0" & other issues

Get an Intel NUC or another computer with an ethernet port and test. I am wondering if it is an updated driver issue..... Might be time to move on to NUC's as they are newer. But the point is, don't discount the computer as the source of the errors. I am told the BBG has the same fixed ethernet dri...

Re: Travel Limits spontaneously changed "0" & other issues

Ok, I have 2 identical lenovo computers with 2 identical control panels. Both are experiencing the same issues in a nearly bench test conditions as described above. They are also in 2 separate locations, an hour away from each other. There are all running current drivers and BIOS. This really indica...

Re: Travel Limits spontaneously changed "0" & other issues

So your Lenovo Tiny is suspect. Did you try and plug that PC in another independent or isolated outlet? Did you use the Lenovo manager to check the PC for all updates including BIOS? I have had this happen to me with a Lenovo Tiny M92P a couple of times. My Tiny Power Supplies are all three prong L...

Re: Travel Limits spontaneously changed "0" & other issues

OK. I did a bunch of testing have found a repeatable pattern of issues. Machine condition- All screw terminal headers removed from Acorn except power power (DC-, DC+, and Ground), Relay board connected per bench test guidelines. Acorn remains in the panel. Shielded ethernet directly from PC to Acorn...

Re: Travel Limits spontaneously changed "0" & other issues

I'm sorry to hear someone else created your issues. No support from them? No offer to correct? You feel comfortable fixing things up? Keep all your posts in this thread. We can scroll back if needed. Marty I don’t think I’ll have success with the original builder based on my interactions with him, ...

Re: Travel Limits spontaneously changed "0" & other issues

All, I did not build these panels, please don’t feel the need to be sensitive about identifying wiring issues on my account. I’ll happily take any criticism of the wiring and use them to correct the issues. I'm sorry to hear someone else created your issues. No support from them? No offer to correc...

Re: Travel Limits spontaneously changed "0" & other issues

Tom makes a point. Did you get lazy and did not run the DC power supply to its fuse point? Did you not separate the VFD to its own pair of fuses? It almost looks as if you used the VFD terminals to break out AC power....I would have put overcurrent protection on the VFD by itself and then overcurre...

Re: Travel Limits spontaneously changed "0" & other issues

Is that a 120V or 220V supply? If it's 120V, the neutral should not be going through the main disconnect. Is the DC motor supply powered by the VFD??? This is a 220v power supply, the system is powered with 220v power. The white wires should be marked with tape to indicate that they are not neutral...
