TASX – Transfer Extended Axis Status
The TASX command returns the axis status conditions. It reports more informa-
tion than the TAS command, and is helpful for identifying which faults occurred.
It returns a 32 bit response (1 = Yes; Ø = No). Note the positions of bits that are
“1” rather than “0”—they indicate problem areas, some of which are:
Bit #: Fault:
Solution:
1
Motor temperature fault
Thermal switch in motor is open; motor is hot
2
Low voltage fault
Check acceleration; AC power wiring and input level
3
Drive temperature fault
Check ventilation; ambient temperature
5
Resolver failed
Check resolver wiring.
7
Configuration error
Drive cannot operate as configured. See TCS com-
mand, below.
9
Velocity error limit exceeded
Check mechanics for jam; check tuning. Raise limit.
10
Bridge fault
Check motor wiring for short circuit. (See note below.)
11
Bridge I
2
t fault
Current model indicates bridge is hot
12
Overvoltage (bus voltage)
Reduce deceleration (or install GPDM for regeneration
on GV6K-U3n/U6n/U12n).
18
Override mode invoked
Velocity override (torque mode) or torque override
(velocity mode) was invoked. Check mechanics.
(Warning only: does not light LED or stop motion.)
19
Bridge foldback
Output current was reduced, to decrease dissipation.
(Warning only: does not light LED or stop motion.)
20
Power Dissipation active
GT6K, GV6K-L3n, GV6K-H20n and GV6K-H40n only.
Internal regeneration circuit was active. Check
deceleration. (Warning only: does not light LED or stop
motion.)
21
Bad Hall state
Bad state (111 or 000) was detected. Check Hall wiring.
22
Unrecognized hardware
Consult factory
23
User fault
Indicates user fault input was active.
24
Keep Alive active
Not a fault; ind24VDC power at input.
25
Power dissipation fault
Indicates excessive regeneration (GV6K-L3n, GV6K-
H20n/H40n only). Check deceleration, load inertia.
28
Configuration warning
Drive altered a user entered value. See TCS command.
(Warning only: does not light LED or stop motion.)
29
Encoder output failure
ORES is set too high for velocity commanded
30
Motor thermal model fault
Thermal model indicates motor is hot
31
Torque/force is at limit
Commanded torque/force has reached limit set by
DMTLIM (TTRQ = DMTLIM). Not a fault condition.
(NOTE: Bridge fault can also indicate output bridge overheating (except in GV6K-L3n). To
test, check drive heatsink temperature; allow drive to cool, then reset drive. If fault remains, it
is due to a short circuit—check motor and motor wiring. If fault reoccurs after several minutes,
it may be due to restricted airflow over the drive’s heatsink.)
See the
Gemini GV6K/GT6K Command Reference
for the complete list of status
conditions.
TCS – Transfer Configuration Status
If the TASX command indicates a configuration error or warning, use the TCS
command to help ascertain the cause of the condition.
NOTE: TCS reports only one error code; errors will overwrite warnings. There-
fore, if there is more than one error condition present:
1.
Resolve the known error.
2.
Cycle power to the drive, issue a RESET command, or activate the RESET input.
3.
If another error condition presents itself (e.g., the drive will not enable), check for
subsequent errors with the TCS command.
See the
Gemini GV6K/GT6K Command Reference
for the complete list of faults
and warnings.
