I don't have it in front of me, but the AX5000s ship with a dummy card that bridges a few pins together (perhaps hard-wiring what the pair of safety relays on the AX5801 do). I suspect the drive won't run without it. As this is not strictly on-topic for Etherlab, I'll send you off-list a picture of the dummy card tomorrow. I think I have one sitting on my desk at work. It would be trivial to replicate and bridge out the connector pins if you can't get hold of a dummy card easily. > P-0-2000 Configured safety option > ... > How can I get rid of the AX5801 so the drive will operate? You're on the right track with P-0-2000, but I think your best bet is to stick with the AX5801, especially as this is the `dumb' non-TwinSAFE card, so you just need to wire it up as per the manual. For the AX5801, I believe the correct value for P-0-2000 is 3. Sometimes the easiest way to figure this stuff out is to run the hardware from TwinCAT---it's a free download after all, no need to call up the local sales rep and feign interest like some other unnamed automation manufacturers. _______________________________________________ etherlab-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.etherlab.org/mailman/listinfo/etherlab-users
