Swaping out a faulted PF 527. Safe Flt S01

I’m not and never will be a motion person this late in life. :slight_smile:

This VFD is config for motion only as best I can tell.

For a motion only app, RA says I only need to set the IP.

The power to the VFD has been cycled per KB BF19047

Any other advice for this old dog?

Yeah, you need to set the 527 IP address, all of the configuration comes from the axis properties. The process of setting the IP is a little different than a 525, if you are familiar with those.

Once the IP is set, the PLC should transfer the axis properties to the drive automatically.

“Motion only” means you are using the hard wired STO. I think the other selection is something like “Motion and Safety”, which would be for safety over Ethernet, which requires a safety PLC.

Edit: I remember there being something quirky about it, like you had to enter a gateway address, even if you didn’t want one. I’ll ask around.

Setting just the IP appears to have worked and the axis is running.

Thank you!
