Catalog Number Kinetix 5700 Dual-axis Module (series A)

These release notes describe version information for Kinetix 5700 Dual-axis Module, version 7.011 (released 6/2019).

Features

This release includes the following system features.

Kinetix 5700 Dual-axis Modules Firmware Revision 7.011 Enhancements

Catalog Numbers 2198-D006-ERS3, 2198-D012-ERS3, 2198-D020-ERS3, 2198-D032-ERS3,2198-D057-ERS3


Improved incremental feedback fault validation to eliminate false M07 incremental feedback count faults. (Lgx 00194471)

Reduced the time for ControlFlash to load firmware to the drive. See Knowledgebase article 1086816 for more information. (Lgx00209222)

For the generic thermal motor model, the drive derates the motor linearly from 20 to 0 Hz. In some instances, the motor can handle full load amps at frequencies below 20 Hz. With this release, a user can reduce the Motor Overload Derating Frequency at which the drive begins to derate the motor. The drive will not derate the motor if the frequency is set to 0 Hz. The frequency can be configured with a MSG instruction. See Knowledgebase article 1088036. (Lgx00220627)

Drive Instability With Wall Clock Time Update Requests and Grandmaster Clock Changes


Requests to update the controller wall clock time in applications that use Integrated Motion over an EtherNet/IP network can cause drive instability. 

The following are examples of wall clock time update requests:


In addition, drive instability can occur when the Grandmaster clock changes from one module to another. The following are examples of drive behavior when the anomaly occurs:


Configure the controller Grandmaster clock priority to prevent the Grandmaster clock from switching to a different module and do not update the wall clock time while there is an active motion connection. Inhibit all axes before changing the wall clock time and the Grandmaster clock priorities. Alternatively, reset the motion connection by inhibiting and uninhibiting the Ethernet module that is handling the motion connection between the controller and axes.
