I had a strange thing happen this morning. Using Studio 5000, v24.
I had 8 projects built up. All very similar. 6 of them were operational, but the last 2 were not. I started to work on the last 2, and had to change some parameters of the moition axis.
When I opened the properties of the Axis in the Motion Group, I got the following error:
The Motion Database does not contain data for the following selections:
Amplifier Catalog Number
Motor Catalog number
Motor Feedback Type
Auxiliary Feedback Type
The axis properties dialog may open with some of these selections set to <none>
Select Cancel in the axis properties dialog to preserve your previous selections. Unless a Motion Database with the previous data is available, selecting new data and/or Applying these changes may make your project incompatible with your hardware configuration and may be unable to download.
Now, the only thing I did was install an Addon Profile for a 440C-CR30. I didn't touch anything else. I went into the install folders and the motion.db file is still in the same location it was for each version.
I don't know what's up. My motion database seems to be completely empty when I open it in my program. I even went back and checked previous projects, all the same.
I'm using a 2198-H003-ERS and a VPL-B0632F motor. But there is nothing available in the catalog numbers list.
Seems like somehow I messed something up, and now I can't change anything on my projects without completely breaking the settings. Is there a way to reinstall just the default motion database?
Edit:
I found a document that explained how to change the motion database. But when I go to the "Options" under the Tool menu, I don't see a Motion category. My categories are only Application, Ladder Editor, and Trends. Seems to be that way for me in Studio and RSlogix 5000.
