56 LDAT-Series Integrated Linear Thrusters

Rockwell Automation Publication LDAT-IN001A-EN-P - August 2012

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
kit
