We have a servo motor that moves a traverse arm. At one point the arm got jammed and the motor kept turning and it actually bent the steel plate arm before the axis faulted out.
In Rslogix5000, in axis properties, under Fault actions, I am trying to change the custom stop action attributes to make the fault happen sooner or at a lesser torque applied.
My question is (referring to the picture attached), should I raise or lower the stopping torque value & should I raise or lower the stopping time limit?
look at "manual adjust"
you are looking for Peak Torque and Continuous Torque
or in the Custom Limits
Torque Limit Positive
Torque limit Negative
WARNING
Read up on the effects of changes to these parameters in the manual
an incorrect change will cause the axis motion to become slower and possibly overshoot - especially when under load
