Troubleshooting:
Motion Supervisor and Axes Mapping
Clearing Fault Problems
Problem
You may experience a problem when clearing faults on your application or through a Motion Supervisor. If an error or stopping state occurs and you are NOT able to clear the fault when pressing the Clear Faults button under a Motion Supervisor, then you need to verify that your axes are properly mapped.
Background
There are two different types of setups where you may experience problems clearing the faults.
Case 1
An axis is mapped under two different Motion Supervisors, where one Motion Supervisor manages other axes.
Case 2
An axis is mapped under two different Motion Supervisors, where each Motion Supervisor also manages other axes.
Solutions
Create a Motion Supervisors that has all axes mapped to it.
For example, in the setup below, MS 3 can be used to clear the faults on all axes.
Motion Supervisor
Axis
0
0
1
0,1
2
1,2
3
0,1,2
Another option is to do a one-to-one mapping (only one axis is mapped to a Motion Supervisor).
