Linear thruster is operating but is not up
to rated force. Actuator is overheating.
Unexpectedly high moving mass or
acceleration
Verify moving load mass and
acceleration are within specification and
adjust as necessary.
Unexpectedly high force
Verify mechanical alignment with
external guidance.
Incorrect drive
Verify that the drive can support linear
thruster continuous and peak current
requirements.
Incorrect motor catalog Number in
RSLogix Software configuration
Verify motor catalog number in software
matches linear thruster nameplate
Motor wiring
Check motor power cable for short
circuit.
Linear thruster is operating but is not up
to rated speed.
Incorrect motor catalog number in
RSLogix software configuration
Verify motor catalog number in software
matches linear thruster nameplate
Drive bus voltage is too low.
Check drive has rated bus voltage.
Linear thruster cannot move load
Force is too large for the capacity of the
linear thruster and drive
Verify force requirements
Verify that the drive can support linear
thruster continuous and peak current
requirements.
Incorrect motor catalog Number in
RSLogix Software configuration
Verify motor catalog number in software
matches linear thruster nameplate
Kinetix 300 drive displays E07 while
using linear thruster with absolute
feedback option
Not using correct feedback connector
accessory
Install un-terminated motor feedback
cable with LDAT-CONKIT-ABS connector
