(2) Debugging steps

Hardware connection: The PC is connected to the driver through a serial port cable (X6 interface), and the 24VDC control power supply and main circuit power supply are connected

Software startup: Install WorkBench v5, create a new project, scan and connect drives

Wizard configuration: Use the Commissioning Wizard to select the control mode, motor model, and feedback type, and automatically complete parameter tuning

Fine tuning optimization: Adjust the gain of the current/speed/position loop using Fine tuning tools and perform testing motion to verify performance

Parameter saving: Save configuration parameters to the non-volatile memory of the drive to avoid power loss

Troubleshooting and Maintenance

(1) Fault indication and handling

Key points for troubleshooting status LED fault types

Red flashing (1-11 times) corresponds to error codes (1=bus overvoltage, 3=overcurrent, etc.). Check AXISOROR/DRIVEERROR parameters and wiring/load

Red green alternating flashing undervoltage warning. Check if the main circuit power supply is connected and if the DC bus voltage is ≥ 50V

Check the wiring of the 24VDC power supply to ensure that the voltage is within the range of 20-30V when the control power supply fails to light up

(2) Common problem solving

Communication failure: Confirm that the PC serial port selection is correct, use the "scan all serial ports" function, and check the serial port cable wiring

Driver unable to enable: Check if the X3 interface driver enable signal (6/7 pins) is valid and clear the fault status

Motor instability: Reduce the speed loop proportional gain (KVPROP) and confirm that the current loop parameters match the motor

(3) Maintenance points

Regular inspection: Check if the heat dissipation duct is unobstructed, if the temperature of the braking resistor is normal, and if the cable shielding layer is intact

Cable maintenance: The distance between feedback cables and power cables should be ≥ 76mm, avoiding parallel wiring and maintaining a 90 ° angle when crossing

Software maintenance: Regularly backup drive configuration parameters and collect system information using the SupportMe feature
