Controller problem! (Urgent)

11/06/2010 3:49 AM

Hi all,

My working area is Stacker Cum Reclaimer{SCR (L&T)}. I am facing a strange problem. we are using two ABB 800 vvvf drives here. one for Slew (for doing left-right BOOM conveyor) and other is for LT(for Long Travel SCR). we are communicating all drives and Encoder by profibus cable.

Now problem is that when we travel SCR, an error is comes in profibus cable adapter and Incoming ACB get tripped. Sometime primary controller is switches on to secondary controller. Strange thing is that sometime problem occurs 20-30 times in one hour and sometime it dont come for 24-36 hours.

what we did till now is that we disconnected ACB trip command and give permanent 110V to respective relay(auxiliary contactor). but after that our control supply getting tripped so we provide seprate control supply. After that boom conveyor motor is tripping. We disconnect motor encoders as they only use in auto mode which not used here and changed the whole profibus cable. At every step we got relief for 24-36 hours.

Any suggestions or ideas are welcomed….

Yo Pstan

you're located in India so one of my guesses with what you describe is

Humidity.

Dry out the profibus adapter with a hairdryer.

Had something similar in South America during monsoon times.

Hi timelord,

Thanx for ur advise. want to tell u that all profibus adapters are in side E-house or MCC room under Air conditioned atmosphere.

And yes i am from India but this is not a monsoon season here. But u could be right on humidity prospective cos my workstation is just 200 Km away from sea so humidity level is usually high. But i dont think that it is due to humidity but still i'll try to do what u said.

Check also the back of the adapter

there might be some railcreep between the connectors
