I'm trying to add an external Axis that is pretty much out of an RJ3ib cabinet to an R30ia Arcmate which has the smaller cabinet. So everything seems to plug in except for the Main power Plug to the servo amp. It is the same part number as printed on the R30ia board CRR68 but the plug is too big. I added a picture of the drive and was wondering if it will link with the R30ia. The motor has the same pulsecoders so I thought that it would. Do i need to just get the correct plug it is a CRR68? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Ok so I Scrapped that idea of moving it to the R30ia. This is just some stuff i picked up from a guy. The only thing left now is that it has a brake on the motor. Will I need another board to make the brakes work or is there somewhere I can plug it in on the main board. It says in the Manual the CRM39 if it's brake 2,3,4 and it says typically you use 2. Just looking for someone that might have this setup so I can get the correct parts.

Supposing you have the correct Servoamp, cables and motor...
Do you have the software options installed to add a 7th axis (extended axis controls, or a 2nd group motion)? -
Yeah so I ended up just trying it on a RJ3ib Robot but I keep getting a fault SRVO-021. I might try to reload software on the robot and just start over. I set it up under Group 1 and axis 7. Should I have set up under group 2?...Also I added the extended axis option and didn't include it on the original install so maybe just starting over will work for me.

It is ok if you added it as a G:1 A:7 using the extended axis option.
If the robot was working (without alarms) before adding the 7th axis, so the probably cause of the issue is the configuration. (hardware start axis, fssb number, servoamp type, etc)
