    IDC B8001 servodrive manual request

    Hi,

    I have a machine that uses IDC B8001 servodrives. Manual of the drives seems to be lost. Does anybody have a pdf copy of this manual? I have looked at te Kollmorgen website but it's not there; only the "B8961 and B8962 manual" is available.

    Thank you very much.

    Here's a copy. I used to work for Kollmorgen, I have lots of their documentation and a lot of their obsolete components in stock where I currently work, especially BDS4, BDS5 and Servostar CD drives.

    Thank you very much for your answer.
    It seems that my drive had a tracking error. I had to replace a faulty drive (doesn't power on anymore). Perhaps that the configuration file I have downloaded in the new drive hasn't the good parameters. I'll check it.
    The two machines must still last one year before retrofit. I hope that I will have no more problems, because all spare drives I have are defect.

    I downloaded ServorTuner software from Kollmorgen web site. It ask for a password to download motor parameters to drive.Does anybody know the password?
    Password is not for the drive it is for the software.

    Message box says "The configuration file load has been cancelled due to write protection. locate or reset the PIN number for this drive."

    so it could be PIN for drive itself, my original drive does not have a PIN, this came up only with the spare drive.

    Just to give some background, Original drive was configured using ServoTuner V 3.3. This software version did not communicate with spare drive. SO I downloaded latest version from Kollmorgen which is Version 3.5.8. This version ask for PIN to overwrite drive configuration. I am not sure where to get the PIN. Spare drive is brand new. Not configured to any motor before.

    Re: IDC B8001 servodrive manual request

    Not sure exactly what your issue is, but here is info from one of the app engineers in response to my asking your question, as a distributor of this stuff, for you:

    The ServoTuner software has a user established password. To get around that password, search for a file called "quickset.ini". Open it as a text file in Notepad. The value of line item "ppItem25" is the password. You can read it and use it, or you can change it and use the new one. I think you can delete it (the value, not the entire line item), and then there will be no password required.

    Re: IDC B8001 servodrive manual request

    I have new drives that when I tried to use both of them gives same error 6 (Encorder counter over speed) when I tried to go above 3000rpm.
    No error below 3000rmp.
    I've changed motor/encorder but problem remains.
    If I change the drive with an older version from a running tool no issue found. Problem follows the drive.
    Problem drive firmware version is TEK(32DA41 V2.08 9D24(3)

    Older drives with firmware TEK(32DA41 V2.04 432D(3) works fine without issue.

    Any idea how to downgrade firmware to older version?

    - - - Updated - - -

    I need to run the motor at 4800rpm
