  1. There are multiple conditions for a move to be processed, in the motion controllers (IQ-F, IQ-R, IQ, L): 1. Servo on 2. No errors 3. Home has been completed 4. the motion is not busy 5. He has servo homed in a jog circuit that is not necessary 6. His move position has no interlocks for servo ready and home competed 7. The way I do this is when the servo is on and no errors then I have a servo ready bit that I interlock with any move commands 8. Also there are busy bits that before starting I check to make sure it is not busy 9. You can not do more than one command at a time. 10. I use below IO to see if there is any error and if the axis is busy. This is more of a start condition than a interlock being that when asking to move the busy bit will change state.

The move position has no interlocks for servo ready and home competed (nothing in code proventing the signal) The way we typically do this, is when the servo is on and no errors then we have a servo ready bit that we interlock with any move commands - Also there are busy bits that we check before starting to make sure an axis is not busy - Make sure that you are not doing more than one command at a time. - Use below IO to see if there is any error and if the axis is busy.

  3. Wow Joe! This is a very fascinating story. I am impressed by the conviction to build a very high end chicken coop and automating it as well. This is what engineers are all about. It shows ingenuity and impressive resolve. Thanks for sharing...
  4. There is always debate about when Mitsubishi’s new servo amplifiers such as MR-J4 and MR-JE CC-Link IE Field Basic should be used? To understand this you need to step back and understand what functionality they bring to the wealth of product offering Mitsubishi has in their toolbox. The biggest advantage is that there is no need for extra motion control modules. It is based on CC-link IE Field protocol which in a full functionality mode is a Gigabit based deterministic protocol over Ethernet. However, IE Field Basic is not deterministic so speed might be a consideration when deciding if this is right for your application. A CC-Link IE Field Basic axis can only be used as a stand-alone single axis, so there is no way to synchronize axes together on this network. The best applications for these servo amplifiers are when single axis point to point motion is the only requirement. If you are going to use Homing, Absolute or Incremental moves, Velocity or Torque control as a single axis then this is your amplifier. If all you need is simple single axis servo functionality, from one or multiple servos, these amplifiers can be tied together over the built in Ethernet available on most Mitsubishi PLCs. This functionality simplifies your overall system architecture, reduces costs by reducing any additional hardware, and reducing deployment time with available PLC function blocks. There are many quick startup guides which can be found on Mitsubishi's website and here on Gibson Engineering’s Knowledge Base.
