I have a string encoder that gives a signal to a interface board then that gives a signal to my S5 counter card (not sure of the correct terminology)
The values in the plc are showing the correct value, (example) I tell the program to move to position 19000, it will go to 19002...perfect (close enough) but its more then a 25mm off, sometimes 50.
I have tried to trouble shoot it the correct way, also I have done the part-swap thing, check all teminations, Bla, Bla...still not getting far...the bad part is, its not all the time, so now im thinking noise? maybe?
Parts that I’m using
Siemens S5 115 U
Siemens counter? card 6ES5 242-1AA32
Manufacture unknown, it has some Siemens parts RS 422? (I think this is some kind of signal converter)
ASM encoder string encoder
Here’s the real bad part, all that I have and can find is in German, the encoder is obsolete, can’t find much on the Siemens card, I have tried changing all parts, same results…So I’m going for the noise thing, I have 15 SEW Euro drives on this machine as well.
Any suggestions?
