Following error when using CSP in M753 Control Techniques drives
Target Position is in DAC_OUT in CSP mode Encoder position is in ENCODER in CSP mode. Both can be monitored on the scope. FE is DPOS - MPOS so has a larger value than the real following error due to the EtherCAT cycle time. Set FE_LIMIT to suit the ...
Can the M700 range of Nidec drives be used as CSP?
Yes it can be used with CSP. See the drive manual page snippet below. We have some EC_EXTEND files already for these type of drive. You must select the RFC-S type of drive. S means servo.
Help for Ethercat Flex6N <> LENZE i700
The i700 range has no memory to save the drive parameters and everything is set up by the Lenze controller. To make the Trio do the same is a little complex and needs you to know which parameters are changed in the drive so that they can be set by ...
Datum DX4 Using Absolute Encoder
To get the full 39 bit absolute position, you need to do a couple of reads and then combine the values. Key COE objects: $30A6:00 Multipos $3044:00 Rotation Pulses So you should read the multipos counts and multiply them by the number of bits per ...
DATUM(6) with MC664 and EtherCAT drives
You must set up the PDO to include the Touch Probe objects. If it is a drive with profiles built-in to the trio firmware, then the usual selection is DRIVE_PROFILE = 2 in position mode. If using an EC_EXTEND file then you must add the touch probe to ...
EC_EXTEND for SMC JXCE1
Trio have helped to set up the JXCE1 before. It is not a standard axis as far as the controller is concerned so if you look at the attached EC_EXTEND you will see that all the objects are mapped to VRs and so you must look at the manual and see what ...
STO enable/disable ethercat
With Nidec CT EtherCAT drives you must set AXIS_ENABLE to 0 after the STO and then set it to 1 when the STO is removed. This type of sequence is different for different drives so it's not possible to say that you must do it for all drives with STO. ...

DX4 Encoder Resolution / Scaling
This option is available through the Parameters Pn725 and Pn726 and the values used will depend on the type of encoder you have on the motor (20 or 23bit). Section 9-11 has some descriptions in the manual.
Clear DX4 encoder error
For "Clear all encoder errors" write "1" to address 0x3685:01 For the "Clear multiturn errors" write "1" to address 0x3685:02 The data type is UINT16 From a Motion-iX TrioBASIC program you can use either CO_WRITE or CO_WRITE_AXIS to access this ...
Reading DX4 Fault Code Displayed On Front Of Drive
The code below will move the error number displayed on the 8 segment display into a declared variable for use in other programs. 'This example is for Axis 0 error number reading ' 'CO_READ_AXIS(axis_number, index, subindex ,type [,vr_number]) 'CoE ...
DX4 Frame Sizes For Help In Firmware Updates
What is the ouput current of the 24V digital ouputs on DX4 drives?
The Digital Outputs of the DX4 drive have a maximum current capability of 30mA. Digital inputs have current limit resistors and are rated at 24V, max load less than 10mA. The ED3S (Summa) drive and the DX4 have the same range.
Ethercat drive disable problem with Panasonic A6B
Panasonic A6B EtherCAT servo drives have a ramp down to stop feature that is enabled by default. This means when the Master sets the control word to $06 (Disable) the drive will ramp down the speed to zero and only then disable the drive. This takes ...
Which ESTUN motors can I use with the Trio DX4?
EMG and EM3A may be used with the Trio DX4. They have the correct encoder type. The Trio MXM and MXL motors are of course perfect to use with the DX4 drives.
Trio Can't detect motor attached to Festo drive CMMT-ST-C8-1C-EC-S0
Created EC_EXTEND with correct ESI file for Festo product Drop Files to Attach
What is the scale for target speed in DX4?
When the DX4 is in speed mode, CSV, the value of DAC_OUT in the master is the target speed given to the drive in the cyclic PDO data. It is mapped to object 0x60FF. The scale of this value is RPM * 10. So a value DAC = 5000 when the SERVO is OFF ...
Does the DX4 work with EMJ, EMG, EML or only with MXM, MXL?
DX4 supports EM3A and EMG motors (not EMJ and not EML). This is due to the encoder type fitted to the EMJ and EML motors. MXL (low inertia) and MXM (medium inertia) are Trio motors that best fit in a system with the DX4 drives.
DX4 Filter Recommendation
To comply with the limits based on IEC/EN 61800-3 second environment (C2) the Drive and Motor must be installed with an EMC/RFI filter. Recommended filters are: These filters have been tested with cable lengths of 3m and 20m.
Torque and speed control over EtherCAT
For most servo drives, set DRIVE_MODE in the MC_CONFIG. On EtherCAT startup, the Trio Master will set up the drive for the selected mode and set the ATYPE automatically. Some drives can change mode after EtherCAT startup. In the PDO you will see the ...
S700 and Trio

Touch probe problem when motor direction reversed
With EtherCAT touch probe it is not possible to reverse the axis direction with ENCODER_RATIO and STEP_RATIO. Instead you must reverse the direction in the servo drive itself. Check the operating and setup manuals for the drives you have connected to ...
Axis Status Error
Just picked up my Flex-6 Nano again to do some testing with movelink, for some reason my FLEX-3AX is throwing errors. pressing the error reset button is not changing anything. All 3 axis are the same: Answer: The Fault bit in the CoE status will be ...
P-OT and N-OT on ESTUN ED3S display
Out of the box, the ED3S drive will display Positive Overtravel and Negative Overtravel becasue it expects limit swtitches to be connected to the 24V inputs. When overtravel inputs are not required, set Pn000.1 and Pn000.2 to 1.
DRIVE_STATUS issue (EtherCAT CoE status word)
DRIVE_STATUS is the value of the CoE status word. Object number 0x6041. If bit 11 is set in the status in the drive then we must see the same in DRIVE_STATUS. If not then the drive is not setting the bit in Object 0x6041. You can check the object ...
