just set up a plc12 with 4 sigma 5 1kw drives and motors.
i got the drives all powered up and tuned with no problems
i have axis 1 and 4 paired and 4 is running opposite direction as these 2 motors are on either side of a gantry.
in jog i can jog the X axis and the 4th axis follows a long and turns in opposite direction but the 4th axis runs faster than the x and i get positional errors.
the other 2 axis will run for awhile then give positional errors.
i did not due an auto tune because the information from the site says you dont need to do it because it is done using the sigma software. and i cant tune paired axis. report is attached.
is there more info for manual tuning i should look at.
encoder errors, yaskawa paired axis. < resolved >

Re: encoder errors
Try reversing the direction of the fourth servo in the amplifier, using the SigmaWin software (so that you can change "Dir Rev" in the Centroid configuration back to 'N').
If you still have issues, post the latest .usr files that you saved from the SigmaWin software.

Re: encoder errors
i will try that
i may be setting it up using the wrong format
i set it up using TB267 should i have used TB252 neither one says why the set it up that way

Re: encoder errors
Use TB252 if you want to run your drives in analog velocity mode.
Use TB267 if you want to run your drives in pulse-train position mode.
Either way will work. Analog velocity mode takes more work to get the PID tuning dialed in.
Neither tech bulletin addresses reversing servo direction in the drive, but I think that is a simple selection as you are going through the Setup Wizard in the SigmaWin software.

Re: encoder errors
as an update to the errors. i could not find out what i had done wrong so i reloaded the plc program and put the drives back to factory settings checked all my connections and started over and every thing worked fine???????
my x axis is paired with the 4th. i did the reversal of my 4th axis in the sigma soft ware not the centroid.
one thing that i did do different is i never even entered the tuning section of the centroid. but right now my 4th axis is lagging the x axis. were would be the best place to correct this sigma+? or centriod, the lag is about 4 deg after about 20 turns

i talked to yaskawa and they asked me to switch the motor with a motor that was not a paired axis. it worked. they think the drive and motor my have a factory setting that was slightly of of tune. the motor did not seem to have any issues with the other drive. if it wasn't
for the fact i put that motor and drive to a paired axis i probably would not have noticed it.
