1. An MCD Instruction on Rotary Unidirectional moves with reduced deceleration may cause a Non Recoverable Fault Your controller occasionally experiences a non recoverable fault if the following sequence of events occurs e A rotary axis is programmed to move in either a positive or negative only mode in an MAM instruction e The rotary axis is currently decelerating e An MCD instruction is issued to stop such an axis by a programmed speed of 0 A slight overshoot may result when the axis finally comes to a stop When this axis is restarted again by another MCD the non recoverable fault may occur Lgx00080762 Publication 1789 RNO17C EN E Februaury 2010 Corrected Anomalies with Previous Revisions Revision Anomaly No 17 00 An Incremental MCCM Move with Merge Enabled May Cause Error 46 Circular R1 R2 Mismatch Error SoftLogix 5800 Controller Version 17 19 Description Your controller occasionally sees a Circular R1 R2 Mismatch error on a merge of a MCCM instruction with e Circle Type Center and Move Type Incremental or e a Circle Type Center Incremental and any Move Type Whether the occurred error was a function of the parameters of the circle and the merge point of the circle Lgx00079059 Combination of Termination Types may cause you to miss the target position You may have missed hitting the end point of a move with Termination Type 4 or 5 TT4 5 when it was preceded by2.

Steps option is set to Automatic Reset a Major Non Recoverable Fault occurs Publication 1789 RNO17C EN E Februaury 2010 Description Duration cams enable an application to turn an output on at a specific position and off after the configured Duration time Latch and unlatch delays adjust the point at which an output turns on and off regardless of axis speed If you enter a latch delay your application will adjust the point at which your output turns on For example a latch delay of 0 5 seconds will cause your output to turn on 0 5 seconds sooner and then remain on for the configured Duration time in addition to the 0 5 second head start However using this example currently the total time your application s output remains on is being decreased by 0 5 seconds If you enter an unlatch delay your application will adjust the point at which your output turns off For example an unlatch delay of 0 5 seconds will cause your output to turn off 0 5 seconds sooner However using this example currently the total time your application s output remains on is extended by 0 5 seconds above and beyond the configured Duration time If you execute a latch and unlatch delay for the identical value no anomaly occurs and the output will remain on for the configured Duration time Lgx00068599 A Major Non Recoverable Fault may occur when these elements are present in the program e Within an SFC a JSR instruction is used to jump to ano
