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.
