Memory Card Version Issue & FB15 Error

Good Morning Lucas,

You are encountering an FB15 error due to a version mismatch between the existing (04.04.38) and new (05.03.18) PCMCIA flash cards. Using Sinucopy FFS to revert to the older 04.04.38 version is the correct approach to resolve this compatibility issue.

Version 05.05.38 is indeed intended for newer card types and may not be compatible with your current setup. For your NCU 6FC5357-0BB22-0AE0, sticking with the 04.04.38 version is recommended.

Refer to the following for Sinucopy FFS usage and further details:

• Sinucopy FFS Information
• FB15 Error Troubleshooting

If issues persist after the version downgrade, please provide more details about the exact CNC model for tailored assistance.

Sincerely,

611 Analog Drive Fault Code Information

Dear Andy,

You are right, the documentation for the 611 Analog Drive is limited. Siemens understands the challenges with troubleshooting these older, yet still widely used, drives.

While formal detailed troubleshooting guides aren't readily available, here are some resources and approaches:

• SiePortal Knowledge Base: SiePortal is the best starting point. Search specifically for "611 Analog Drive Fault Codes" - you may find application notes or forum discussions with more detail.
• SIMATIC Drives Support Forum: SIMATIC Drives Forum is a good place to ask questions and search for solutions from other users.
• Legacy Documentation Archive: Siemens sometimes retains older documentation. Siemens Technical Documentation might contain supplemental materials, though it's not guaranteed.

Regarding Fault Code Causes: Focus on the specific fault code and consider these general areas:

• Power Supply Issues: Fluctuations or incorrect voltage levels.
• Motor Problems: Shorts, open windings, or mechanical issues.
• Control Signal Errors: Incorrect analog signals or digital inputs.
• Drive Hardware Failures: (Less common, but possible) - IGBTs, capacitors, or control circuitry.

While checking wiring is a basic step, understanding the *potential causes* beyond simple wiring faults is key. Provide the specific fault code you're encountering in the SiePortal forum for more targeted assistance.

Sincerely,

Protecting Mechanics with SINAMICS 611U

The incident with your plasma machine highlights the need for robust mechanical protection, beyond just overload detection. While the 611U didn't trip on overload, mechanical issues can cause stresses the drive doesn't 'see' electrically.

Parameters for Mechanical Protection:

• Ramp Times (P0300 - P0303): Optimize acceleration/deceleration ramps to reduce mechanical stress. Slower ramps minimize shock loads.
• Jerks (P0310 - P0313): Control the rate of change of acceleration/deceleration for smoother movements.
• Current Limit (P1000): While not directly mechanical, setting a current limit prevents excessive force if a jam occurs.
• DC Brake (P0710): Enable a DC brake to quickly stop the motor in an emergency, potentially reducing damage.
• Monitoring of External Signals: Utilize digital inputs to monitor limit switches or other sensors that can signal a mechanical issue. Connect these to a fault response (e.g., stop).

Additional Considerations:

Mechanical protection (guards, limit switches) is paramount. Review your machine's safety assessment. Consider a Safe Limited Speed function (if supported by your safety module) to restrict speed even during faults.

For detailed parameter explanations, refer to the SINAMICS 611U documentation on Siemens Support. Search for "SINAMICS 611U Parameter List".

Connecting SIMODRIVE 611 to PC via USB

You're right to suspect the cable. While a USB/RS232 adapter can work, the SIMODRIVE 611 communication is often sensitive to the cable type and adapter compatibility. SimoComU requires a specific cable configuration.

Cable Requirement: You need a null-modem cable (cross-over cable) specifically wired for SINUMERIK/SIMODRIVE communication. Standard null-modem cables may not work.

Important Notes:

• The cable must cross-over TxD (transmit data) and RxD (receive data) lines, and also DTR/DSR and RTS/CTS.
• Ensure your HP USB to Serial converter is functioning correctly and drivers are up to date.
• Verify the COM port setting in SimoComU matches the COM port assigned to the USB adapter (COM1 in your case).

Further Support: Please refer to SiePortal FAQ SIMODRIVE 611 Communication via USB for detailed information and troubleshooting steps.

If issues persist, consider testing with a known-good, Siemens-recommended cable and potentially contacting Siemens Support directly with your adapter details for compatibility confirmation.
