9.1 Troubleshooting Tools
The SERVOSTAR’s MOTIONLINK package comes with a
comprehensive monitoring and troubleshooting help set. For
troubleshooting the drive it provides a Status screen (click on
Status button in the upper right-hand corner of Main
MOTIONLINK
screen). The Status screen allows you to check the drive enable
switches, the Status Display LED, fault status with complete error
history, and mode settings for several of the drive’s protection
features. If using the terminal mode, you can simply check the
contents stored in the STATUS, FLTHIST, and ERR variables.
An additional help provided by
MOTIONLINK is the I/O screen
(click on I/O button on the side of the Main
MOTIONLINK screen).
The I/O screen gives you the ability to check the status of the
hardware position limit switches, the motor thermostat, and the
encoder equivalent output. It also allows you to set up the I/O on
the C3 connector for a variety of troubleshooting and monitoring
approaches.
For monitoring system performance
MOTIONLINK comes with a
variety of monitoring tools. The customer can monitor a variety of
variables from the Monitor screen (click Monitor button at the top of
the Main
MOTIONLINK screen) to compare up to three variables
against themselves at one time. The Tune and Record screen
allows you to evaluate the system’s actual performance against a
predefined command profile. Also from this screen, adjusting the
gains until optimum following is achieved can vary the performance.
