Emerson P/N 400361-00 manual Diagnostics, Errors and Error Codes

13 Diagnostics

There are many different tools available to the user to help diagnose problems or errors in the Unidrive SP and SM-EZMotion module. The most common tools used are the Error Codes, Analog Outputs, and PowerTools Pro utilities such as the Watch Window, Fault View, Status Bar, and Online View Tabs. Any or all of these can be used to figure out why an application may not be running properly.

The following section gives detailed information about each of the tools listed above.

13.1 Errors and Error Codes

The Unidrive SP and SM-EZMotion module fault handling system is made of a series of Trips, Trip Codes, Errors, and Error Codes. Following is a definition of each.

A Trip is an action that happens in the Unidrive SP that causes the drive bridge to be inhibited therefore stopping all motion. When the drive inhibits, the drive does not have control of the motor/load.

An Error is an action that happens in the SM-EZMotion module or Unidrive SP that may or may not cause the

Unidrive SP to Trip. Most of the Errors that occur in the SM-EZMotion module will cause a Trip on the drive.

Following is a description of the Errors Handling System used by the SM-EZMotion module

When the SM-EZMotion module has an error (i.e. Program

-Divide By Zero Error), it sends a signal to the Unidrive SP that the error occurred. The SP then recognizes the error in the module by causing the drive to trip. The specific trip that will be displayed on the SP depends on the slot number that the SM-EZMotion module is located in. The drive trip will be a Sl#.Er trip where # indicates the slot # that module error occurred in.

The Unidrive SP Trip Log will be updated with the Sl#.Er trip. To find out what the specific error in the module was, the user needs to query parameter MM.50 where MM is 15, 16, or 17 depending on the slot # of the module. Parameter MM.50 stores the error code for the specific error that occurred.

Following is a list of the Errors that can occur in the SM-EZMotion module along with Error Codes, reset methods, and potential causes for each fault.
