Kinetix 6500 Troubleshooting and Project Interpretation

Course Purpose

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to apply maintenance and troubleshooting techniques to diagnose and correct common problems that may occur with a Kinetix® 6500 servo drive system.

You will practice operating and troubleshooting the system through hands-on exercises using the Studio 5000 Logix Designer® application.

Building upon the skills you developed in the Fundamentals of Motion Control (CCN130) course, you will develop skills to maintain and troubleshoot a multi-axis motion control system. You will practice identifying faults related to hardware, software, and motion networks by leveraging tools such as Web pages, system LEDs, and Logix Designer status indicators.

Who Should Attend

Individuals who need to maintain and troubleshoot Kinetix 6500 motion control systems should attend this course.

Prerequisites

To successfully complete this course, the following prerequisites are required:

• Completion of the Motion Control Fundamentals course (Course No. CCN130) or equivalent knowledge of or experience with drives, feedback devices, and velocity and position loop systems.

• Completion of the Studio 5000 Logix Designer Level 1: ControlLogix System Fundamentals course (Course No. CCP146) or equivalent knowledge of or experience with the ControlLogix® platform and basic ladder logic.

Student Materials

To enhance and facilitate your learning experience, the following materials are provided to each student as part of the course package:

• Student Manual - Includes the key concepts, definitions, examples, and activities presented in this course
