Question	Posted Date
Why is a reboot required after sending an Axis Configuration from LogicWorks to a SigmaLogic axis? Posted Date: 09/12/2014 Answer: Some of the configuration files in the SigmaLogic are only read at power-up. These files contain information about the scale factors, servopack parameters and other configuration options of the built-in controller.

Why does the SigmaLogic controller sometimes reboot twice? Posted Date: 09/15/2014 Answer: Some parameters set in the SigmaLogic servopack require a logical power cycle to become active. If the configuration has changed, particularly those values set in the Configure – Options section of LogicWorks, another reboot will be required before the new settings will take effect. Part of the SigmaLogic Embedded Software boot up sequence compares the actual servopack parameters to the desired configuration. If there is a mismatch, the desired parameters are sent to the servopack and an automatic reboot is triggered. The new parameters actually take effect after this second reboot.

What do I need to Start Up a SigmaLogic motion axis? Posted Date: 09/12/2014 Answer: There are 4 components to the SigmaLogic motion axis: LogicWorks Configuration Utility SigmaLogic embedded Software SigmaLogic Firmware Add-On Instructions (AOIs) for Rockwell RSLogix5000 The SigmaLogic unit will come with the Firmware and the embedded Software already installed. Updates will be found at the SigmaLogic product page at www.yaskawa.com/SigmaLogic . Firmware updates will rarely be needed but may be installed using the build-in web server. Please contact your local Yaskawa equipment provider for assistance with this procedure. LogicWorks can be retrieved from the SigmaLogic product page Retrieve and extract the zipped installation file Run ‘Setup.exe’ to install LogicWorks on your PC The AOIs can also be retrieved at the SigmaLogic product page Retrieve and extract the AOIs and data type elements Import them into an RSLogix5000 project Additional start-up information is provided with the SigmaLogic Quick-Start Guide and the SigmaLogic Quick-Start Video.

What causes ‘CPU Status: Stopped’ and how can it be fixed? Posted Date: 09/12/2014 Answer: CPU Status: Stopped means the SigmaLogic controller is not running. The RUN led on the front panel will also be unlit. Possible causes are: The factory-loaded project archive has been removed A software update or a Return to Factory Settings procedure has just been performed Some other serious program execution fault has occurred that stopped the cpu To restart the SigmaLogic axis, physically cycle Logic Power or connect to the axis using LogicWorks, navigate to the Configure – Reboot page and click on ‘Reboot’.

What causes FLT_BSY output to come on at a SigmaLogic AOI block? Posted Date: 09/15/2014 Answer: Almost all of the SigmaLogic Add-On Instructions require exclusive control of the axis. FLT_BSY indicates that another AOI already has control of the axis and this new AOI cannot be executed. A common cause is leaving the MSO_Yaskawa (Motion Servo On) block powered. This AOI requires only a momentary signal. Toggle MSF (Motion Servo Off) to disable the servomotor. A signal at MCFG_Yaskawa.AOI_Active can be used for interlocking blocks in the program. To view which block currently has control, see the Controller tag ‘AxisRef’.AIO_SB. In this example, the MAH_Yaskawa (Motion Axis Home) block has control.

Is it necessary to use the built-in web server with SigmaLogic? Posted Date: 10/29/2014 Answer: Using the web server in the SigmaLogic SERVOPACK is not usually required. LogicWorks configuration software can perform all configuration functions for the SigmaLogic SERVOPACK. The web interface is only needed to update the SigmaLogic Firmware, which is rarely necessary.

Is any 3rd party programming software needed for SigmaLogic? Posted Date: 09/15/2014 Answer: No. Once you configure your SigmaLogic with LogicWorks, all programming is done through your Rockwell PLC. No 3rd party programming software is needed.

Is an Allen Bradley PLC required for SigmaLogic? Posted Date: 03/02/2015 Answer: Yes. The SigmLogic product is designed to function as a node on an Ethernet/IP network where an Allen Bradley CompactLogix or ControlLogix PLC is the scanner. The SigmaLogic is not designed to operate stand-alone. No other PLC brands are currently supported.

How is the Sequence Table Executed on SigmaLogic? Posted Date: 03/02/2015 Answer: The sequences are first created with the free LogicWorks software. Then they can be executed in a Test Mode independently from the PLC inside of LogicWorks. Finally they can be executed from the Rockwell 5000 software through the Motion Sequence Run (MSQR_Yaskawa) Add On Instruction. They can even be edited from the PLC with the Motion Sequence Edit (MSQE_Yaskawa) Add On Instruction. To remove the communication delay between sequences, it is possible to automatically branch to another sequence when the first sequence is complete.
