Troubleshooting Excessive Velocity Error Issue on Kinetix 5700: Tips and Solutions

Question:

Encountering an "Excessive Velocity Error" issue, we first ensured that there were no obstructions hindering movement. Despite increasing torque and attempting manual adjustment with a wrench, the error persisted. Subsequently, we opted to replace the servo motor, yet the error persisted only during automatic adjustment to the down position. Seeking further insights and solutions for this persisting issue!

After experiencing a problem on my 5300, I took the necessary steps to resolve it by recalibrating the autotune in Logix and adjusting the velocity limits. Additionally, I implemented a torque monitor to safeguard the motor by triggering a fault if it exceeded a specified range.

User alvarado678 reported encountering an "Excessive Velocity Error" with their servo motor. After checking for blockages, adjusting torque, and manually moving it with a wrench, the error persisted. Despite replacing the servo motor, the error only occurs when automatically adjusting to the down position. Any other suggestions to troubleshoot this issue? It appears to be a feedback-related problem.

It is important to inspect your mechanical load for any signs of damage, such as cracks in welds. If your load is still attempting to move after the drive commands have stopped, it could indicate a problem. Be sure to regularly check for any issues to prevent further damage or malfunction.

An essential detail that was omitted: Is this error occurring on a new installation, or did it start to surface after the system had been running for a while?

It sounds like you've done a thorough job of troubleshooting so far. Before replacing any more components, I'd suggest looking into the possibility of a software error. Check to make sure your motor's speed parameter settings are correctly configured in your automation software. If there's an error in the limit values, that might cause such an issue. Faulty encoders can also trigger excessive velocity errors, so I'd recommend inspecting it. If all else fails, you might want to contact the support of the servo motor's manufacturer. Good luck!

Hey, it sounds like you've got a tricky issue there! I wonder, have you checked the programming of the system? Sometimes, if the control system tries to move the motor too fast, it can trigger the "Excessive Velocity Error". In this case, the problem isn't the physical components but the set parameters within your software. It might be worthwhile to revisit the velocity or acceleration settings in your system's coding and see if fine-tuning those figures might alleviate the issue.

It sounds like you've done a thorough job troubleshooting! Have you checked the calibration of your system? Sometimes, if the parameters aren’t set correctly after a motor replacement, it can cause those specific errors during automatic processes. Additionally, you might want to examine any feedback sensors or wiring that could be affecting the position detection when moving down. It could be a case of a misaligned sensor or a loose connection that’s only apparent under certain conditions.
