I am getting this alarm ( Error 13- Drive Alarm X Axis) and trying to figure out a few things.
The error initially occurred and can be consistently repeated during a drilling cycle. Drilling a 1/2" hole in a piece of steel- it gets about .8" in and alarms. Interesting because the Z axis is doing the work and the X axis is stationary. Rapids are set way low since this is a one of part. Also, I tried stopping the program (drill bit removed) and tramming the Z manually and no error.
So I called MEAU and no help yet other than to say that my drives are not serviceable (MR-S80E-01A on the X axis, MR-S100E-01A on the Z axis). He is researching some more to see what options I have but I have not heard back yet.
Question 1- I have read that some people found this to be a resolver error. For the sake of testing I would like to swap the drives. Since they are different I am not sure. The electrical manual says one is 10a and the other a 15a drive. It seems to me that just for testing purposes I could swap these to see if the error stays with the drive or with the axis. Anybody know for sure? On each drive there is a little rotary switch. On one drive it is set to 0 and on the other it is set to 1. I figure this is the drive address. No other difference in jumper settings.
Question 2- Anybody know if there is another drive that is compatible with these? By the way these are AC servos not DC.
Thanks!
