Maxon Epos 2 No led - Burned out?

Hi,
I've having trouble with my Maxon Epos 2 24/5. A few days ago I was running motion control perfectly fine. All of my connections were laid out on a breadboard. Yesterday I tried to wire all of the connections into MIL connectors. Upon power up, the epos turned on as usual but the encoder signals were all off. I realized I made a mistake with the wiring and re soldered the connections. This time I powered it on however there was a very dim red led which faded away. I disconnected everything except the power. No leds come on and I can't communicate to the Epos.
Did I completely fry the EPOS?
Is there anything I can try to bring the EPOS back to life?
Thank you

Ruben,
I would recommend setting everything up the way it once was connected (when everything worked). This will allow you to at least check how much functionality is left in the motor. You should reference your motor manual and the manufacturer of the motor on this topic as they will be able to shed more light on this than national instruments.
Are you using a national instruments controller or drive; if so, what specific products are you using?

  • Maxon EPOS P + WinXP + Labview2013 = error reading USB data 0x23000002

    Hi, 
    I have a DC servo with 3-channel encoder and Maxon Epos P 24/5 controller, connected via RS232 to a Windows XP machine with Labview 2013.
    Epos Studio 2.0 works fine, PIDs are tuned and all functions work 100%. When I try any of the Maxon example VI's, however, it gives me this "error reading USB data. (0x23000002)"
    I can communicate with EPOS in Labview using NI VISA. I have recorded the sequence that Epos Studio sends when scanning COM interfaces (something with hex 07 00 00 00 ). I have sent this sequence via "write to COM port" VI, and received a response from EPOS P.
    If I put my COM Tx and Rx lines on the oscilloscope and run the example VI, I see that at the execution of "VCS Set Operation Mode" VI the computer sends one byte to EPOS, but EPOS does not respond with anything. I guess the read times out and triggers the error. Other EPOS VI's which query the controller for information produce the same error, as EPOS does not talk back to them either...
    I urgently need assistance on this matter. Thank you in advance for your prompt response!

    I need to apologize for confusion. I wrote "error reading USB", while of course I mean "error reading RS232" everywhere in the text. Sorry for that, but the question remains - why do the Maxon LabView VIs give this error when communicating via COM port to EPOS P?

  • If I constantly use my iPhone 5's flash as a flashlight, will it burn out?

    If I decide to use the flash on my iPhone 5 as a flashlight, will it eventually burn out? Will it greatly drain the battery if I use it for about 2-4 minutes a time?

    LEDs have a long life.  It is designed for continuous use while recording video.  It does use extra battery power.  To watch how much, use:

  • My LCD screen burned out. I have it connected to a tv now, but can't get the menu bar or the function bars to show up. Please help!

    My LCD Screen burned out, but the computer still works. I currently have it connected to an HDTV via, Mini DVI to VGA, VGA to VGA on the tv. Problem is, I can't get the function bar (maybe not the right term) or the bar at the bottom with all my programs on it. I get my screen saver and have managed to drag (by sheer luck since I can't see anything on my iMac screen) some of my pics I had on my desktop over, but nothing else. Please help!

    Hello
    you should have on your key board "mirroring key" , or F7 on old keyboard
    for now your tv is an extended screen for your imac not a miror , so you can not see menue barre on top of screen

  • Have timesheet data. Trying to get staff at risk of burn out (worked 8hrs a day during last 3 weeks)

    Hi all,
    I've been trying to get a semi-complex measure out for over a day now but seem to be going round in circles. Most frustrating is I don't quite understand why one version throws an error, another throws out the wrong number and then whatever you guys come
    up with will give me the correct answer!
    I have a workbook uploaded here which I used for a different question, but majority of the data model is the same :
    https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=1C0322C61F94C9E9&id=1C0322C61F94C9E9%21125
    What I'm trying to do is find staff members that are at risk of burn out (eg consistently working > 8hrs a day)
    My main timesheet table (Time) is as such:
    StaffID (fk to staff table)
    ClientID (fk to client table)
    TaskID (fk to task table)
    TimesheetDate (fk to date table)
    EffortInHrs
    my date dim is standard fare, only thing i've added is an EndOfWeekDate (eg EOWDate. sunday is the last day therefore for each date for this week the endofweekdate column = 18-jan. For last week it was 11-Jan etc) and I also have a 'last freshed date' that
    shows the last time the model was refreshed
    A staff member can only record time against a specific task once per day, but they can have multiple tasks across multiple clients for one day
    The business rule im working with is
    if they've worked more than 8hrs at least once in the last 3 weeks (dates that fall between EOWdate for 'now' minus 3 weeks and EOWdate for 'now' ), then return the sum of EffortInHrs for all clients for every day in the last 3 weeks
    I've given up in getting it in one go so i'm trying to cobble together a number of calc columns and measures to get me closer.. but it all seems to stall
    eg the following calc column (DailySumOfHrs)
    =
    CALCULATE (
    SUM ( [EffortInHours] ),
    FILTER (
    ALLEXCEPT ( TIME, 'Time'[TimesheetDate], TIME[StaffID] ),
    DATESBETWEEN (
    'Date'[Date],
    'time'[TimesheetDate],
    'Time'[TimesheetDate]
    gives me the sum of effort in hrs for the day for each staff member. I couldn't get a measure version of this working. It would either aggregate across all days/staff or give context errors.
    So when I tried to take it to the next step to find the max using the same formula
    =
    CALCULATE (
    SUM ( [EffortInHours] ),
    FILTER (
    ALLEXCEPT ( TIME, 'Time'[TimesheetDate], TIME[StaffID] ),
    DATESBETWEEN (
    'Date'[Date],
    'time'[TimesheetDate],
    'Time'[TimesheetDate]
    I get errors, i'm guessing because i'm mixing my fact and date tables now and it doesn't know it can use the TimeSheetDate 'context' to filter.
    To get the 'last 3 weeks' filter working I added the following to the date dim
    =if([EndOfWeek]<[RefreshDateLocal] +7 && [EndOfWeek] > [RefreshDateLocal] -14,1,0)
    i then used it in an intermediate measure to get the max at the weekly grain
    WeeklyMax :=
    IF (
    MAX ( 'Date'[Last3WeeksFilter] ) = 1,
    CALCULATE (
    MAX ( TIME[DailySumOfHrs] ),
    FILTER (
    ALL ( 'Date'[date] ),
    MAX ( 'Date'[EndOfWeek] ) = MAX ( 'Date'[EndOfWeek] )
    'Date'[Last3WeeksFilter] = 1
    BLANK ()
    and finally the measure itself
    BurntOutHrs:=if([WeeklyMax]>8,SUM([EffortInHours]),blank())
    I am not happy with this at all. There are so many conditions (eg filters added) that need to be satisfied for this to return a sensible result and I need to expose a number of the 'backend' filters that users would need to add to the report to get the correct
    answer.
    As is, it only works for a simple Staff, date, burntouthrs report. If users attempt to create their own pivot table/chart and try to break it down by client or task it doesn't look right at all. I'd also like to be able to count how much stuff are working
    long hrs but this approach wouldn't support that at all.
    I could probably post dozens of my attempted dax that to me logically look like it should work but either aggregate wrong or throw context errors. Unfortunately my current approach to dax still is to try various, almost random variations until one works
    for whatever reason
    I always aim to have a measure that 'just works' in all contexts where it makes logical sense. For me to get that happening here i'd probably need to spend another few hrs trying all kinds of allexcept() conditions for each filter where i want it to work
    and hope none contradict each other
    Thinking about it now, this isn't really a separate measure at all.. i think a better approach would be to add a calc column to the staff table that checks if that staff member has >8hrs assigned for any day (i dont think the default time->staff relationship
    would allow this though). But i'm still interested on how to accomplish it using the separate 'measure' approach
    I'll go spend the rest of today trying to get the flag working in the staff dim!
    Thanks!

    I got a Model Number: A1181, My hard drive burned out. I bouhgt a new hard drive Wd Blue Scorpio 500 GB. When i tried to install the MAC OS, it identifies a hard drive with 3.6 TB and i'm not able to do the installation. I touhgt the new ard drive was bad but i was able to install windows XP. Any ideas what do i have to do?

    Well, let's hope that nothing was jiggled out of place when you were installing the new hard drive. Your optical drive may just be out of alignment or the disc you have is "dirty." Get a lint-free cloth and some rubbing alcohol, then clean the disc as thoroughly as you can starting from the center and working outward in a concentric circlular motion. See if that helps. In particular clean the inner portion well.
    If this does not help, then you have a problem. You have opened the computer yourself. That action voids all support from Apple. If you take the computer in for service the store may refuse to service the computer. This is not related to your now expired warranty.

  • Can USB extension cable from nano burn out tower's USB port?

    I recently plugged my 1GB nano into my Mac flatscreen's USB port and got a message that this port was too slow. I used it anyway but it did take a looong time to charge the nano. Normally I use the two ports in the screen to park a couple of dongles and since that port is slow for iPod purposes , I decided to buy an unpowered USB hub, 1 to 4 variety to run from the tower.
    My G4 is in a closet with a not-so-accessible port on the back so I have a 6 foot extender cable coming from the tower which connects to the hub and from there I plug in my camera and keyboard - but so far not the nano. The guy at the store where I got the hub told me that an iPod nano recieving power from this settup might burn out the USB port in the back of my G4. So I haven't tested that! Anyone know if this is true or if it's just uniformed blather from a drugstore computer sales tech?

    The "too slow" message you received has nothing to do with how long it takes to charge the Nano, it is telling you it will take longer to sync the Nano. If the port on the screen charged your Nano it didn't take any longer than any other port will.
    A USB extension cable will not burn out the USB port on your computer.

  • Screen light burned out

    My screen light seems to have burned out. My computer is probably about 6 years old, so I was wondering if this can be fixed?

    After reading a couple of the other thread (such as "17" PBook display colors are off .. bad" and "screen not working since last update") I was able to fix the problem. I think what must have occurred is the recent computer update some how reset some of my display preferences and it turned the brightness way down. All I did was go to System Preferences then Displays and adjusted the brightness.
    Thanks to those that posted the other threads

  • Is their a fail safe on Mac Book Pro's I can't burn out my computer

    I do a lot of work with Blender (3d Software meant for design and animation) and when I render a scene I hear my computer's fun turn on high. I get nervouse that one of these days I will try to render a complex scene and burn out my Mac. Does apple have a fail safe like a automatic shut down to stop this and will apple care cover a computer that gets burned out?
    Also if I render a lot will it eventually slow down my computer?
    Thanks for the help:)

    if you have apple care, it will be covered if using your computer makes it "burn out". The fans are there so it doesn't get overheated. it will also go to sleep if it does over heat, so yes there is a fail safe.

  • Firewire Ports burn out on 20" ACD

    I have a 20" ACD and this now marks the second time in about a month that my firewire ports have just decided they didn't want to work anymore. Just three weeks after I got the monitor back from repair in it goes again, and Apple just to add insult to injury didn't send me a shipping label! I sure hope DHL has forms with them tomorrow...
    Has anyone else had problems with their firewire ports on an ACD? The only firewire devices I have are a Griffin FireWave and a Canon Camcorder.

    Ok I have to post the follow up story to this because it has a happy ending!
    As stated in my earlier post the Firewire ports on the monitor had failed and I got a box from Apple w/o a shipping label. I called and they gave me all the info I needed and I was crossing my fingers that the DHL guy would have the paperwork...
    The next day the DHL guy arrives .... WITH ANOTHER SHIPPING BOX!?!? Apple had sent out a new one with the correct shipping label so I just grabbed it and slapped it onto the other box and handed it back to the DHL guy, now I have a nice cinema display shipping box.
    Apple repairs my monitor and I get it back in 2 days. Great turnaround except that when I get home I connect the display to the computer connect up my firewire devices and ... the firewire ports on the display are STILL broken! ARGH!
    Now this is the THIRD time my ports have gone south on my display and I am really ****** off. Now here is why I think Apple is a top notch company that tries to make things right for their customers, I call Apple the next day and talk to tech support. They get an expert on the phone and the guy who apparently repaired my monitor the last time and they were positive the monitor left with working firewire. So they ask me what I was trying to use with it and I told them (A Griffin FireWave and a DV Camera) and they said that those were all good quality products and shouldn't be causing an issue with the display. So they sent me a BRAND NEW display! Now here's the cool part, I've had my display for less than 6 months but it was a refurbished unit. This new one isn't, it's brand new and so bright it almost hurts my eyes to look at it. The tech at Apple also suggested I buy a powered firewire hub (which I did) just in case the firewave or the camera was causing the ports to die.
    Now would Dell, HP, or Gateway have replaced my monitor like that without a fight? Not likely, they would have insisted that one of my devices was burning out their display. They certainly wouldn't have replaced it with a whole new monitor like Apple did. Granted I did have AppleCare on the display but even without it I think Apple's support is (for the most part) better than ANYONE else out there period.

  • Why does my backup drive keep burning out?

    I've burned out three backup hard drives within the last year and a half  The first was a Buffalo 500G, then a Toshiba 500G and then another Buffalo 500G.  The first backup was had its own power supply but the other two got their power from my Mac. Time Machine settings were all normal but I did notice the drive's light seemed to be on a lot when Time Machine was not backing up.  The power to my Mac and the drives is stable and relatively consistent. 
    Has anyone else had this problem and is there a solution for it?  Losing three drives in less than 18 months makes me think it's a Mac software issue as opposed to poor quality drives.  Thanks for any insight.

    That drive is bus powered, as Klaus1 suggested ONLY use EHD's that have their own power supplies.
    The drive I would recommend is:

    OR

    Of the two I prefer the latter.

  • FireWire ports burned out -- what to do?

    The FireWire ports on my 4 year-old iMac seem to have burned out. (Reboots with Mac phone support didn't help). So the problem now is that I can't download footage from my Sony handycam, which used to function beautifully with the FireWire. Mac customer service tells me that since the Firewire ports are connected to the logic board, I'd need a new logic board which would run about $800, and it seems crazy to put that much money into a nearly 5-year old computer. Grateful if anyone could suggest a workaround. (for example, would a firewire/USB hub work, or wouldn't that convert the Firewire signal?). My iMac is otherwise functioning fine and I can't buy a new computer just now, but I do need my videos...Thanks for your suggestions!

    I think the only longterm solution that makes good sense is the replace the iMac with a new(er) Mac, at least after making sure the FW port is dead. Since you are in NY, you should be able to get to an Apple Store it some point. I suggest making a Genius Bar appointment & taking both the iMac & your camcorder with you. The genius should be able to verify that the port (& not the camcorder) is the problem & you should be able to test the camcorder with a Mac in the store. (Note that you will need a FW 400 to 800 cable for this. It may be worth discussing this in advance with the store personnel, especially if you have to travel any distance to the store.)
    Even if you cannot afford a new Mac now, you will have verified the source of the problem & get a good idea of what 4+ years of hardware improvements would get you. This should help you decide what to spend money on now for workarounds vs. what to save your money for.

  • Lcd control panel is burned out on HP 8600

    The control panel LCD appears to be ALMOST burned out to the point I can see only a very faded illegible signals.  It is a HP8600 Officejet Pro

    Hi aulddog
    I understand the display is only showing faded illegible signals.
    I will be happy to assist you with this.
    Make sure there is no damage on the power cord and that it is connected directly to a wall outlet. Make sure the printer isn't exposed to an electric or magnetic field. Try another outlet in a different room.
    I have provided a document for the display being blank.
    If all the troubleshooting has been done and it didn't resolve the issue then I would
    recommend to call HP Tech Support to inquire about  a replacement printer if it is still
    in warranty or find out about the trade in and trade up program.

  • Best way to make a burn out effect like in this film?

    I am trying to figure out how to make the same kind of film burn out effect like this short film has in the beginning.
    Check out the beginning of this short film. The yellow/red burn outs that are on the first couple of clips, what is the easiest way to make them in Motion (or FCP)?
    I've been fumbling a bit with the "Cool" emitter in Motion, but can't get the same feel.
    Please give me some tips, if you can.
    Oh and here is a link for the short film I am referring to:
    http://frenchquarterfeatures.com/movies/eighteen_seconds.640.mov
    Thanks in advance...

    The effect emulates fogging of the film, as if someone opened the camera before the film had been taken up onto the reel or into the magazine.
    I'd download that clip, convert it to a useable format and play with keying filters till I got mostly the flashes. Then I'd start adding masked layers and shapes to fill in the rest or to cover up residual hunks of the film's stars. Precompose or render. This will give you a place to start. Use it to blend in a moving red-yellow image.
    Or look at ARTBEATS site and see what they've got for film burn effects (not Ken Burns effects). I'll be tthta's where this filmmaker got his/hers.
