Read Kinetix 350 Faults From PLC

[ajh305]

I was wondering if there is a way to read the fault codes On a K350 Servo Drive from a Compact Logix processor. I want to be able to display the code on my HMI so operators don't have to open the panel to see the code.

That's a great question, anyone know if Kollmorgen AKD drives have that capability?

You could try explicit messaging

There's a good RA Knowledgebase document with an example program that uses CIP Explicit Messaging over EtherNet/IP to read the faults and error codes from a Kinetix 6500 or Kinetix 350 servo.

I tried that AOI but that thing eats up like 95% if my memory. I tried to take the AOI apart to use only the msg but I am unable to do that.
