Hi,
Don't know if anyone had the same specific issue but still worth asking...
I'm trying to use a third PM rotary motor on a Kinetix 6000 (Sercos). It is very similard from a MPL-B3xx as it is fitted with a SRM50 or SKS36 with comparable characteristics. We are using Rslogix v16 to v20.
I managed to create a CMF file from one I managed to find and that imports successfully in the motion database.
Here's one attribute that is an big obstacle for integrating my drive : blobData.
Il seems it is an 512 Byte encoded value of the others attributes and it is the only data sent to the Kinetix drive (? - it seems to shrink to 256 Byte once stored in motion.db). By modifying any of the independant values, the import fail "corrupt file", proof it is encoded from the list of values provided. So far understanding the encoding method of the blobData has proven difficult. Rockwell won't provide any support and advised us to blindly swap any third party motor, which would cost way to much as well as bringing new mechanical issues, by the way...
Has anyone got any experience with creating or importing CMF files in the motion database ? I suppose infos on creating CMF files is very restricted.
I've also read that sick hiperface encoders need to be setup for use with third party motors by using a Kinetix 6000 and a specifig procedure, is it applicable in Sercos mode with Kinetix 6000 or only with Kinetix 6500 in CIP ?
