Haha... Omron auto changes to Moron on autocorrect!
Anyway...
I'm having issues with some Motion Controller cards.
Long story short, we had a machine where the motor wouldn't work. Previous shifts changed the motor, drive and the motion controller card which didn't work. I took over and changed the open circuit cable. Put the original drive in and verified the correct parameters. I was unsure which was the original MC card and played around a little. One wouldn't program, one wouldn't enable the drive and one worked, which had the correct program in so assume that was the original card.
Machine works... Great!
Now, we had one spare MC card, the drive and another card was swapped with a drive and a card out of another machine as we had no other spares. Grrrrrrr...
So today I tried to get this other machine running. Drive no problem. Now I have the two MC cards. One of which kept failing to accept the programs and one that wouldn't enable the drive.
The one that failed to download was now able to be programmed. Why? Well I don't really care about that. Just want it to work for now until a spare arrives.
So, using Motion Perfect 2 software, I send the programs to the card. I then set the required auto start program (this program is called MASTER and set to run on process 1 as do all the other MC cards in the factory)
Then I save the programs to eeprom.
After recycling power, the drives show =bb (or is it =66?) on startup before switching to run. Apart from my drive. It stays on =bb. I can run the master program via Motion Perfect and the programs run their sequence and enable the drive and it can be used as normal.
But why isn't the MASTER program being ran on startup? This is the case with 2 cards. Am I missing something? The help documentation is a bit naff... and I'm not finding much online.
So please, you awesome bunch, HELP!
