Currently tinkering with a home project for a wood router lift machine using some second hand parts from a redundant timber mill. The servo is a TLY-A220P-BJ62AA, drive is a Kinetix 300 2097-V31 Pro and the controller is a Micrologix 1400.
I installed the motor and drive, connected it to the router lift ballscrew, and programmed the PLC with indexing building block from RS sample code ID 75393
Set up the IP's, limit sensors, etc and all talking fine.
Attempted to auto tune via the inbuilt app but as the lift only has around 300mm of travel, have to abort to stop overtravel.
With the auto tune, the lift works fine. Somotor has enough juice and grunt to do the job as the ballscrew moves freely and smooth. But when I try to home or jog the motor, it attempts to move but then stalls in over current.
I tried a few values in the velocity setpoint but the motor stalls each time. I then removed the motor to allow it to spin freely and prove my settings are correct, the motor doesn't spin, then suddenly spins and it trips on over velocity when jogging even when the jogging setpoint is at 5.
I have done a little with motion control, mainly stepper motors on a CNC, but had little to no experience with servos and drives - especially the AB stuff. Any suggestions gents?
