My Kinetix 5700 has been operating smoothly for 2 years until last night, when 8 faults occurred (Node FLT 01 - Late CTRL Update Major Faulted). The manual provides a list of potential solutions for this issue. I am curious if anyone has successfully addressed this problem by following these steps or by trying other methods, such as removing unnecessary network devices from the motionnetwork, adjusting network topology to reduce shared paths, implementing high performance network equipment, utilizing shielded cables, and keeping signal wiring separate from power wiring.
Can you please share how you resolved this issue? Let me know the solution.
Do you have any suggestions? This issue is still occurring at times.
We encountered a common issue with our 5500 model which was resolved by directly connecting the Ethernet cable to the drive, bypassing the switch. Although the initial drive failed, the replacement drive has not experienced the same problem.
We have grounded the drive's body, and it appears to be functioning properly at the moment.
I encountered a similar problem with my Kinetix 5700 last year. What worked for me was implementing high performance network equipment, which drastically improved the overall network speed and reduced the load, preventing the 'Late CTRL Update Major Faulted.' However, it's worth mentioning that the specific solution could vary based on your network conditions. Also, as a small side note, keeping signal wiring separate from power wiring did improve the stability of the system in my case.
Sorry to hear about the issue you're having with your Kinetix 5700. I faced a similar issue earlier this year. Removing unnecessary network devices was something that improved the situation for me. I noticed less fault occurrences after I removed some legacy devices from my motionnetwork. However, what helped the most in my case was the change in my network topology. By reducing shared paths, I was able to lower the traffic significantly and this, in turn, improved the system performance. I've also heard others benefit from using high-performance network equipment. Each case might be different, so you might want to consider trying out different methods and see which one suits your system best. Good luck!
I had a similar issue with my Kinetix 5700 a couple of years ago. The first thing I did was to try to eliminate any potential network congestion by removing unnecessary devices from the motionnetwork, and it worked to an extent. However, the game-changer for me was when I decided to implement high-performance network equipment and adjust my network topology to reduce shared paths. This not only resolved the fault issue but also optimized the overall performance of the system. It might require some investment, but the improved machine efficiency is well worth it.
I've dealt with a similar issue in the past, and I found that optimizing the network topology really helped. Specifically, I eliminated a few unnecessary devices that were creating extra traffic, which seemed to ease the communication load on the Kinetix. I also switched to shielded cables and ensured they were kept separate from the power lines, which made a noticeable difference in reducing noise. If you haven’t tried these adjustments yet, it might be worth experimenting with. Also, double-checking the firmware versions and making sure everything is up to date can't hurt, just to rule out any compatibility issues. Good luck!
I've faced a similar issue with my Kinetix 5700, and while I did consult the manual, I found that addressing the network topology made the biggest difference for me. I ended up simplifying the network layout, which significantly reduced the instances of the "Late CTRL Update" error. Additionally, switching to shielded cables helped with signal interference. It might be worth trying these adjustments if you haven't already, especially since you mentioned multiple faults. Good luck!
I had a similar issue with my Kinetix 5700 about a year ago, and what ended up working for me was streamlining my network setup. I noticed that removing a couple of less critical devices really helped reduce the network congestion. Also, I switched to using shielded cables for my signal wiring, which seemed to make a difference in stability. I definitely recommend trying those steps before diving deeper into more complex fixes.
