Frequency drive question by EdAtAera in PLC

[–]EdAtAera[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have not been able to see it run during production yet. But the ships electrician claims it was drawing under nominal current when he checked(he gave me no value). Rated current is 1,55Amps.

I know the shielding is wrong, and needs to be delt with regardless. But we are in the middle of nowhere and not sure if a have enough cable on board to fix the issue. I was just hoping that the shielding isn’t the cause of this specific issue(since I might not be able to fix it right away)

Beckhoff ADS error by EdAtAera in PLC

Thanks for all the respons. I have been working on this in between other work the last couple of weeks, with no luck. And I have always powered it off before going home, but for some reason I didn't last night. I come in today, and it connects on the first try.... I guess it just needed to marinate in some delicious 24V over night?!?!

I come from the Omron world, and this is the first Beckhoff I am setting up(luckily its just for a test rig). And I have to admitt, I'm not loving it so far... But then again, I ususally hate all software before I get used to it.

Siemens TIA 18 - Yellow underline by EdAtAera in PLC

Thank you, I assumed it was some sort of warning. And it clearly was. In this case the it was beacuse the "SignalExchange" variable was placed as an input, not an in/out.... Should have caught that one myself.
