IDKnown Issue
AKD Servo Drive
300628

Return
Disconnecting the EtherCAT cable on an AKD EtherCAT servo drive requires a reinitialize or reboot to recover.

Workaround: Reinitialize the NI SoftMotion Module or reboot the controller. Refer to the Reinitialize example in the <labview>\examples\Motion\ConfigurationAPI\Reinitialize directory for an example showing how to programmatically reinitialize the NI SoftMotion Module.

Reported Version: 2011  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 07/29/2011
401301

Return
The slider tuner values in the Kollmorgen WorkBench software do not match the values in the NI SoftMotion Module Gain Tuning Panel.
When you use the slider tuner in WorkBench, the resulting gains are different than when you use the slider tuner in the NI SoftMotion Gain Tuning Panel. This is because Kollmorgen has updated the slider tuner algorithm and these changes have not yet been applied in the NI SoftMotion Module.

Workaround: Both the NI SoftMotion Module and WorkBench slider tuners provide valid results. If you want to use the WorkBench slider tuner, tune your system in WorkBench and then copy the gains to the Axis Configuration dialog box in the LabVIEW project.

Reported Version: 2012  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 08/05/2013
C API
411382

Return
Using an incorrectly formatted resource name when using the C API could cause the RT target to crash.
Incorrectly formatted NI SoftMotion resource names, for example "nism://Axis 1", could cause a crash. The correct format is "Axis 1" when executing code on the RT target or "nism://0.0.0.0/Axis 1" if you are executing the code remotely.

Workaround: Format the resource name properly.

Reported Version: 2012 SP1  Resolved Version: 2013 SP1  Added: 08/05/2013
Configuration
298886

Return
Encoder velocity filter distances greater than 1 do not work.
Setting the Encoder Velocity Filter Distance to a value greater than 1 causes the velocity returned to never update. This is only apparent if you are using the Encoder Velocity Filter Distance only (setting the Velocity Filter Time to 0 to disable it).

Workaround: None.

Reported Version: 2009  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 07/29/2011
305115

Return
Setting the closed-loop stepper correction profile velocity to 0 returns error -77037 (NIMCDM_invalidDataError).
When configuring a closed-loop stepper axis using the instructions found in the "Configuring a Closed-Loop Stepper Axis (NI SoftMotion Module)" topic in the NI SoftMotion Help, error -77037 is returned when the correction profile velocity is set to 0 when you attempt to enable the drive.

Workaround: Set the correction profile velocity to 0.01 instead of 0.

Reported Version: 2010  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 07/29/2011
360277

Return
When the NI Scan Engine is set to boot into Configuration Mode and you try to deploy changes to an axis, you will get error -70235 (NIMC_resourceNotSet)
This error only occurs when you set the RT target to boot into Configuration Mode and you try to deploy new settings to an axis while still in Configuration Mode.

Workaround: If you have already received error -70235, you must reboot the target to clear it. To avoid getting this error, either have the NI Scan Engine boot into Active Mode or switch the NI Scan Engine from Active Mode and then back to Configuration Mode before deploying changes to an axis.

Reported Version: 2011  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 08/03/2012
404235

Return
Rebinding an axis to a different hardware resource can cause parameters to be outside of the valid range.
When you bind an axis to a different hardware type than what it was originally configured with, it can cause parameters to fall outside the valid range for the new hardware type.

Workaround: When you are rebinding axes, make sure to check that the axis configuration parameters are still valid.

Reported Version: 2009  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 08/03/2012
EtherCAT
296911

Return
Axis properties cannot be set while in configuration mode for NI 951x modules in a 9144 chassis.
Any axis properties configured using property nodes when the NI Scan Engine is in Configuration mode are reset to the values configured in the Axis Configuration dialog box when the NI Scan Engine switches to Active mode.

Workaround: Any axis properties that cannot be set in Active mode must be configured using the Axis Configuration dialog box rather than the NI SoftMotion axis property node.

Reported Version: 2011  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 07/29/2011
300628

Return
Disconnecting the EtherCAT cable on an AKD EtherCAT servo drive requires a reinitialize or reboot to recover.

Workaround: Reinitialize the NI SoftMotion Module or reboot the controller. Refer to the Reinitialize example in the <labview>\examples\Motion\ConfigurationAPI\Reinitialize directory for an example showing how to programmatically reinitialize the NI SoftMotion Module.

Reported Version: 2011  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 07/29/2011
332899

Return
Powering an AKD EtherCAT slave when the master is already powered can put NI SoftMotion into a bad state.
If you power up an AKD EtherCAT slave when the master is already powered, you may get error -77055 (NIMCDM_axisCommunicationWatchdogError) when trying to enable the drive.

Workaround: Reboot the EtherCAT master. Prior to NI SoftMotion 2011, you can switch the NI Scan Engine from Active to Configuration mode, then back to Active mode to clear the error. For NI SoftMotion 2011 and later, you can reinitialize the NI SoftMotion Module to clear the error. Refer to the Reinitialize example in the <labview>\examples\Motion\ConfigurationAPI\Reinitialize directory for an example showing how to programmatically reinitialize the NI SoftMotion Module.

Reported Version: 2010  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 03/01/2012
Express VIs
304109

Return
Trying to use NI SoftMotion Express VIs that are not supported in NI SoftMotion Module Lite returns an ambiguous error.
The error returned is "This node is not executable because an unexpected error occurred during code generation." This is because the selected Express VI is only supported in NI SoftMotion Module Standard or NI SoftMotion Module Premium. Go to ni.com/info and enter nismpkg for more information about the NI SoftMotion Module options.

Workaround: None.

Reported Version: 2011  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 07/29/2011
385228

Return
Arc Move Express VI Visualizations do not work with NI SoftMotion Module Standard.
The error message on the visualization page is: "This feature is not available with NI SoftMotion Lite. Go to ni.com to learn about NI SoftMotion features and to purchase a license." This message will appear even if you have NI SoftMotion Standard. Note that arc moves still work and it is only the visualization that is broken.

Workaround: None.

Reported Version: 2012 SP1  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 02/28/2013
421048

Return
Deployment Fails When Using NI SoftMotion Module Lite or Standard
Deploying NI SoftMotion Module VIs when using NI SoftMotion Module Lite or Standard fails. Deployment is not affected when using NI SoftMotion Module Premium.

Workaround: Update to the LabVIEW NI SoftMotion Module 2013 f1.

Reported Version: 2013  Resolved Version: 2013 f1  Added: 08/05/2013
Function Blocks
421048

Return
Deployment Fails When Using NI SoftMotion Module Lite or Standard
Deploying NI SoftMotion Module VIs when using NI SoftMotion Module Lite or Standard fails. Deployment is not affected when using NI SoftMotion Module Premium.

Workaround: Update to the LabVIEW NI SoftMotion Module 2013 f1.

Reported Version: 2013  Resolved Version: 2013 f1  Added: 08/05/2013
Installation
164539

Return
"Error!: niecatsv.dll not found!" or "Error!: niecatsv.dll not found!" are reported when booting an RT PXI controller with NI SoftMotion installed.
The error returned differs depending on the version of the NI SoftMotion Module installed. NI SoftMotion Module 2012 and earlier returns "Error!: niecatsv.dll not found!." NI SoftMotion Module 2012 SP1 and later returns "Error!: niecatmaster.dll not found!." These errors are incorrectly reported and the specified .dlls are not required to use NI SoftMotion unless you are using NI SoftMotion with an EtherCAT device.

Workaround: Ignore the error or install support for EtherCAT.

Reported Version: 2009  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 08/03/2009
Interactive and Tuning
349432

Return
Resetting an axis position on an RT target to +/- 1x10^68 or greater causes the target to lock up.
When you reset the axis position past +/- 1x10^68 the target locks up until it is rebooted. This occurs for all axis types.

Workaround: None.

Reported Version: 2009  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 08/03/2012
413673

Return
The Gain Tuning Panel returns error -77027 (NIMCDM_noMoreBuffersError) after an error occurs.
If you are using the Gain Tuning Panel and receive an error, you receive error -77027 after clearing the initial error.

Workaround: If you receive error -77027 when using the Gain Tuning Panel you must reboot the RT target on a remote system or close and reopen LabVIEW on My Computer. To prevent further occurrences of error -77027, avoid errors when using the Gain Tuning Panel. One of the most common ways to get into an error state is to try and command a move in the Gain Tuning Panel before enabling the drive.

Reported Version: 2012  Resolved Version: 2013 SP1  Added: 08/05/2013
NI SoftMotion Engine
221697

Return
Contour Move Update Points returns error -77104 (NIMCDM_bufferCanNotWriteError) when used with a Finite contour move.
Calling the Update Points method when running a Finite contour move returns error -77104. This error is misleading as the buffer cannot be updated when executing a Finite contour move.

Workaround: To update points when executing a contour move use the Continuous Contour method instead.

Reported Version: 2009  Resolved Version: 2014 SP1  Added: 07/30/2010
227752

Return
Using a contour table configured for one axis with a multi-axis contour move does not immediately return an error.
The move will start on the single axis, but as the buffer points are consumed NI SoftMotion eventually returns error -77032 (NIMCDM_bufferNotUpdatedError).

Workaround: None.

Reported Version: 2009  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 07/30/2010
231035

Return
You can preempt a coordinate move with an axis move.
NI SoftMotion currently allows you to preempt a coordinate move with an axis move. This is unsupported and can lead to undesired effects on the motion system.

Workaround: Stop the coordinate move before executing a move on an axis resource.

Reported Version: 2010  Resolved Version: 2015  Added: 07/30/2010
231425

Return
Profile Complete and Move Complete are True when the drive is disabled during a move.
The Profile Complete status is incorrectly set to TRUE when the drive is disabled during a move. Because the Profile Complete status is always included in the Move Complete Criteria, Move Complete is also true when the drive is disabled even when it is not included in the Move Complete Criteria.

Workaround: None.

Reported Version: 2010  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 07/30/2010
235309

Return
Relative to Capture moves on a coordinate resource function as regular relative moves.
Coordinate resources do not support the Relative to Capture straight-line move mode. Using this move mode on a coordinate move is the same as executing a straight-line move using the Relative mode.

Workaround: None.

Reported Version: 2010  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 07/30/2010
236390

Return
NI 951x Module Cannot Clear Position Error When Performing Coordinate and Single Axis Moves on the Same Axis.
When performing both coordinate and single axis moves in the same VI it is possible to have a position error occur that cannot be cleared even by switching the NI Scan Engine to Configuration mode and back to Active mode. The error typically occurs after writing a setpoint greater than the maximum step length specified on the module.

Workaround: Perform individual axis moves by using a coordinate move that only moves a single axis.

Reported Version: 2010  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 02/14/2011
251637

Return
Distributing an NI SoftMotion application to a Windows machine results in a missing DLL.
Creating a LabVIEW executable and installer for an application using the LabVIEW NI SoftMotion Module and running it on a computer without NI LabVIEW installed results in nimclv.dll being reported missing.

Workaround: Copy dm*, nism*, nimc* from [labview]\resource to the same directory as the executable.

Reported Version: 2010  Resolved Version: 2014  Added: 02/14/2011
252820

Return
Starting an Index reference move with an active limit causes the axis to move until the opposite limit is reached.
Starting a Find Index reference move on an active forward or reverse limit correctly returns error –77025 (NIMCDM_limitSwitchActiveError ), but the axis continues moving until the opposite limit switch is encountered.

Workaround: Move off of the active limit before executing a Find Index reference move.

Reported Version: 2009  Resolved Version: 2013 SP1  Added: 02/14/2011
298886

Return
Encoder velocity filter distances greater than 1 do not work.
Setting the Encoder Velocity Filter Distance to a value greater than 1 causes the velocity returned to never update. This is only apparent if you are using the Encoder Velocity Filter Distance only (setting the Velocity Filter Time to 0 to disable it).

Workaround: None.

Reported Version: 2009  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 07/29/2011
325655

Return
Starting a move that has a final position larger than 1E16 will produce error -77109 (NIMCDM_parametersDefineOutOfRange).

Workaround: None.

Reported Version: 2010  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 03/01/2012
356333

Return
Starting a new move while another move is in progress can cause a hang
The hang occurs when a move is in progress and you start another move in the same direction. If the move parameters would not allow the motion to stop at the specified position without moving in the opposite direction, the move does not start and the VI hangs.

Workaround: Abort the VI.

Reported Version: 2009  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 08/03/2012
356790

Return
Clearing a fault on an axis in a coordinate space causes the axis to re-enable
If you perform a coordinate space enable and an axis in the coordinate space gets a fault, upon clearing the fault, the axis automatically re-enables.

Workaround: Disable the coordinate space before clearing the fault.

Reported Version: 2009  Resolved Version: 2015  Added: 08/03/2012
Other
342652

Return
Disabling or Enabling one axis in a coordinate space will disable or enable all axes.
If you perform a move on a coordinate space and then enable or disable an individual axis, all other axes in the coordinate space will enable or disable.

Workaround: None.

Reported Version: 2009  Resolved Version: 2015  Added: 03/19/2012
342896

Return
Disabling an axis in a coordinate space can cause a timeout error.
If you have two or more axes in a coordinate space and you use the Power function block, express VI, or method to enable the coordinate space, you will get error -70027 when trying to disable any individual axis. You will still be able to disable all of the axes together.

Workaround: Enable/Disable the individual axes instead of enabling/disabling the coordinate space.

Reported Version: 2010  Resolved Version: 2015  Added: 03/19/2012
Properties and Methods
341045

Return
Some Method and Property Inputs do not Have Range Checking
The following SoftMotion methods and properties only support certain values, but NI SoftMotion does not return an error if you use an unsupported value: 1) The Line input of Read Analog Line, Write Analog Line, Read Digital Line, and Write Digital line should not have inputs less than 0 or greater than the number of valid lines. 2) Any method or property with an enum or ring input may not work correctly when using an unsupported value. Refer to the NI SoftMotion Module Help for supported values. 3) The Position Compare Period property should not be set to a value less than 0 (the minimum value depends on your hardware). Function Block and Express VIs also fail to return an error when using these unsupported values. This Known Issue replaces previous Known Issues 117781 and 207784.

Workaround: Only use valid values for all properties and methods.

Reported Version: 2009  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 03/19/2012
408297

Return
LabVIEW crash when operating on an NI SoftMotion reference while destroying it.

Workaround: Don't operate on a reference that you are destroying. In applications where you create a motion reference once and destroy it at the end of the application, you can remove the Destroy Motion Reference VI and let LabVIEW destroy it for you automatically.

Reported Version: 2009  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 08/05/2013
421048

Return
Deployment Fails When Using NI SoftMotion Module Lite or Standard
Deploying NI SoftMotion Module VIs when using NI SoftMotion Module Lite or Standard fails. Deployment is not affected when using NI SoftMotion Module Premium.

Workaround: Update to the LabVIEW NI SoftMotion Module 2013 f1.

Reported Version: 2013  Resolved Version: 2013 f1  Added: 08/05/2013
SOLIDWORKS Interface
297066

Return
Moving an NI SoftMotion Module project using SOLIDWORKS axes from Windows XP to Windows 7 does not update the log file path.
By default, a LabVIEW project containing a SOLIDWORKS axis on Windows XP saves log files to "C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\...". If you move this project to a computer running Windows 7, the log file path does not change and the selected path does not exist.

Workaround: Manually change the log file path in the Assembly Properties dialog box. Right-click the SOLIDWORKS assembly in the Project Explorer window and select Properties from the shortcut menu to display the Assembly Properties dialog box.

Reported Version: 2009  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 07/29/2011
414722

Return
Using an evaluation version of SOLIDWORKS causes LabVIEW to crash when opening SOLIDWORKS from the LabVIEW project.
If you are using an evaluation version of SOLIDWORKS and launch it from the LabVIEW project, LabVIEW will crash. The crash occurs after the "SOLIDWORKS Product Activation" dialog has launched.

Workaround: Open the SOLIDWORKS assembly from the SOLIDWORKS development environment. Once the SOLIDWORKS assembly is open, right-click the SOLIDWORKS Assembly in the LabVIEW project and select "Synchronize to Assembly."

Reported Version: 2009  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 08/05/2013
Trajectory Generator
221638

Return
Preempting a move in the opposite direction can return error -77070 (NIMCDM_startPendingError).
NI SoftMotion automatically performs a decelerate stop move when commanding a move in the opposite direction. If you command a second move before the stop has completed, error -77070 is returned.

Workaround: Wait for the direction to change before starting a new move.

Reported Version: 2009  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 07/30/2010
296142

Return
Blending a Spherical or a Helical arc to a Circular arc causes velocity spikes when used with the "At Decelerate" blend mode.
This is an error in reporting only and does not have an adverse affect on the motion system.

Workaround: None.

Reported Version: 2010  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 07/29/2011
374856

Return
Large position error values can cause position oscillations when in closed-loop stepper mode.
These oscillations only occur when travelling in one direction and only if the position error is greater than ~0.25 revolutions.

Workaround: Use a motor that is properly sized for your application to eliminate the need for large position error corrections.

Reported Version: 2010  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 02/28/2013
447463

Return
Error -77108 with Specific Combinations of Target Position, Acceleration, and Velocity.
Rarely SoftMotion can fail to calculate a valid motion profile with specific combinations of Target Position, Acceleration, Velocity, Jerk or other move parameters.

Workaround: Make a minor change to any of the move parameters, and SoftMotion should be able to calculate a valid profile.
