When a Pr
oblem Occurs
When checking and verifying I/O after a problem has occurred, the Servo Drive may suddenly start to
operate or suddenly stop. Always take the following precautions.
You should assume that anything not described in this manual is not possible with this product.
•
Disconnect the wiring before checking for cable breakage. If you test conduction with the cable
connected, test results may not be accurate due to conduction via bypassing circuit.
•
If the encoder signal is lost, the motor may run away, or an error may occur. Be sure to disconnect the
loading equipment before checking the encoder signal.
•
When performing tests, first check that there are no persons in the vicinity of the equipment, and that
the equipment will not be damaged even if the motor runs away.
Before performing the tests, verify that you can immediately stop the machine using an immediate
stop in case the machine runs out of control.
Use the following procedure to replace the Linear Motor or Servo Drive.
Remove the Linear Motor by reversing the Motor installation procedure.
