That is where you hook up the supply of whatever voltage your contactor coils require. For example, if you use reversing contactors that have 24VAC coils, then you would connect 24VAC where the diagram shows "power for reversing contactor coils". If you use contactors that have 120VAC coil...

If I were building it, I would tie the directional enables to the limit switches, so that tripping a limit inhibits drive output in that direction.

I don't know anything specifically about Copley, but this sounds like a typical setup for third-party DC drives (e.g. AMC, Aerotech, etc.): a general ENABLE to allow the drive to operate at all, and directional enables that can be wired through limit switches. Pull-down-to-enable is what you want in...

Auxiliary outputs, such as those on H5, are designed to be 5VDC only. Looking at the open-collector output diagram on page 3 of the DC3IOB manual, you could probably get away with 24V relays powered by an external supply, as long as you connect the minus (0V, COM, ...) side of that supply to the com...

While it is good practice to wire a contactor in the intended direction, with the L terminals on the live side and the T terminals on the load side, functionally it doesn't make any difference. You need to look at several things: 1) Is the contactor actually closing when you release the E-stop butto...

9 = NOPTIC/SIGNAL = ANALOG 10 = NOPTIC/GRN = ANALOG COM 29 = RLY/COIL = BRAKE OUT 30 = TBI/0VDC = COM 31 = PLC/INPnn = FAULT IN 32 = PREV DRIVE/31 = FAULT COM 40 = REL4/NO = ENABLE OUT 9 and 10 would be correct: analog torque reference to the drive. You do *not* connect 29/30 to the GPIO4D brake ou...

There should theoretically be a file named "_dc3iob-bport-boss.src" or "_dc3iob-bport-boss-cnc.src" on your control, and therefore in the "report.zip" file. However, it might well be missing. The text you posted was, at one time or another, copied from a compiler output...

Since OUT13 is not changing to Green when you run M4 in Auto mode, or select Spindle CCW in Manual mode, you evidently have a PLC program problem. What PLC program source are you running? The PLC program source file name is displayed on the F7/Utility, F8/Options screen. Do a Report (F7/Utility, F7/...

To get "401 PLC failure detected" and/or "416 motion fault #xx detected", something needs to be seriously interfering with the operation of your CPU board (CPU7 or CPU10) or your servo drive / PLC unit (SERVO3IO or DC3IO). Do you get any error messages (besides "407 X+ limit...

See http://www.cncsnw.com/YaskawaNOPTIC1Cable.htm for an example of the interface between an SGDH drive and Centroid's earlier NOPTIC1 board. In that example, I have an external 24VDC power supply connected through TB1 to supply both my PLC inputs and the Yaskawa interface circuits. You will have to...
