Hey Everyone,
hope everyone is safe and healthy.
So I got my hands on the following hardware. I have no experience in programing in ST and very little experience with TwinCat 3
X1- Beckhoff computer —-CP6606 single touch panel
https://www.beckhoff.com/CP6606/
X1- EK1100 coupler https://www.beckhoff.com/EK1100/
X1-EL 1859 I/O card https://www.beckhoff.com/el1859/
X1-EL2911 — safety card https://www.beckhoff.com/EL2911/
X1-EL7201-9014 servomotor terminal https://www.beckhoff.com/EL7201-9014/
X1-AM8111-0F11-000 motor https://www.beckhoff.com.ph/english.asp?drive_technology/am811x.htm
Here is what I was able to get working. (list by hardware)
CP6606 – I was able to power up and configure the IP address so I was able to get it connected to my programming PC. (that all!!).
EK1100 -- wired and connected.
EL1859 -- got I/O working.
EL2911 – Safety input card can’t get it to work.
El7201-9014 – Servomotor terminal, was able to configure and get the motor to move with Drive Manager.
AM8111-0F11-000 – Servomotor works but gets really hot.
Here are the issues that I am facing. (list by hardware). I will expand on the issues if someone is willing to spare their valuable time.
CP6606 – I honestly don’t know how to get this working. I have no idea where to start. All I know is and was told in order to get this working I will need to run TwinCat 3.1.4022.9.
EL2911 the safety input card. I am not sure if I need a safety process Ex EL6900? I say this because, everywhere I looked when configuring the safety cards, you link the processor as the Physical Device and the safety I/O as the Alias Device (in the safety project). But…. I was told I do not need a processor. The problem is I cannot have one device (EL2911 input card) as both.
AM8111-0F11-000 – the Motor get really hot with no load on it. My guess is the holding brake is on while the motor is moving. But…… if I manually disable the holding brake and leave it for 1 minute or so it start getting hot. I am confused.
Hope I make sense above, I will really apricate if someone can help and/or are willing to spare their valuable time.
Thank you,
Sam.
