E-Stop

[smbeau1]

Hi, I have the masso G3 touch with the pendant, At power up `I push both E-Stop's then only need to pull one out to clear the alarm, should be both.

If that is the case then only one of them is working.
I suspect you haven't got the Estop wired correctly for use with the pendant.
Make sure the Black wire is on Estop 1 not Estop 2 which is the default position for the wire at manufacture.

then only need to pull one out

Sounds to me that the emergency stops are wired in parallel. they should be wired in series. so Peter is right, check your wiring.

my estop does nothing it keeps flashing release the estop button but i push in and release nothing happens i have replaced the estop and wiring harness and check button with multimeter and it works ???

 

[Leon_roto-art]

if it is already flashing "release the estop" and your e-stop is not pushed in then your wiring is incorrect. How is it wired now? do you have a pendant with a emergency stop?

did you check in the F1 screen if you can see the E-stop switching?

 

[DaleDB]

THE f1 screen shows that nothing is happening when the switch is pressed and released it stays the same no pendant attached the wiring is correct check that many times now i even tried switching the wires on the estop no go it is flashing red release estop doesnt changed when that is done as i said also a brand new button and with multimeter it shows good

Without any connections to the Estop terminals is Estop flashing release on power up?
If so then the Estop opto and/or circuitry is damaged.
Check opto 38 as per docs.

yes it is and this is a brand new system i am not going to tear it apart

i am not going to tear it apart

It is not tearing it apart, it's just confirming that the fault is in the board.

Testing procedure for the Estop Input​

• Opto No: 38 is used for the E-Stop signal.
• Remove the wire connected to Estop 2.
• Go to the F1 screen and make sure the Estop input shows LOW and is not inverted.
• Test the optocoupler by connecting the +ve of the MASSO power supply through a 5.6K resistor to the EStop2 input
• On the F1 screen, you should see the input change from LOW to HIGH.
• If the input changes from one state to the other the optocoupler is ok and does not need replacing.

And the doc on Checking Optocouplers just checks the voltages around the opto to determine where the fault is.
It could be that the opto is not seated correctly.
1F will want you to do these tests before they will swap the unit, because of the delay in getting you operational.

not with a brand new unit should of came tested and ready to run not broken and unable to run

I appreciate that you’re probably frustrated, but it sounds like you should be communicating with OneFinity—you’ll get no benefit from anything here if you’re unwilling to help track down the problem.

i have a ticket started with them ty

I only suggested you carry out the checks listed in the docs, so that you are ready with answers to prove that they are at fault.
