Troubleshooting Diagnosis (for Models with 200V AC Servomotor Equipped)

If a problem occurs, check the following points first in order to ensure quick recovery and prevent recurrence of the problem.
  1. Check in status LED (SV/ALM LED)

  1. Check for abnormality in the master device (PLC, etc.)
  2. Check on 100V AC or 200V AC voltage supplied to DC power supply for motor drive voltage
    Check for momentary power failure, voltage drop, power failure, etc.
  3. Check in voltage of 24V DC control power supply
    Check for momentary power failure, voltage drop, power failure, etc.
  4. Confirm the generated alarm
    Check the alarm information with the teaching tool.
  5. Check the connectors for disconnection or incomplete connection
  6. Check the cables for connection error, disconnection or snagging
    Cut off the main power supply of the equipment (to avoid electric shock) and remove the cables around the measurement point (to avoid conductivity through the surrounding circuit) before checking the conductivity.
  7. Check the I/O signals
    Use the master device and ELECYLINDER teaching tool to check for inconsistency or abnormality in the input/output signal status of the two units.
  8. Check the noise elimination measures (grounding, connection of noise suppressor, etc.)
  9. Check the events leading to the occurrence of the problem, as well as the operating conditions at the time of occurrence
  10. Analyze the cause
  11. Countermeasures

Caution

  • When troubleshooting, exclude normally functioning parts from the targets to narrow down the causes.
  • First, check 1. to 10. so that countermeasures can be taken swiftly.
