LV (Low Voltage Control Power Alarm): The control voltage used to operate the low- voltage
circuitry in the amplifier is too low.
1.
Series SVU type amplifiers will be shipped with default jumpers to use a single
phase of the 220 VAC power to the amplifier. Optionally the user may remove the
jumpers and connect 220 VAC control power separately. Check that a minimum
200VAC is available on terminals L1C and L2C for default installation or on connector
CX3 (Y Key) for separate control power.
2.
Check the amplifier fuse. If the fuse is open replace with a new fuse after checking
control power voltage. If the second fuse blows open, replace the amplifier.
DBRLY (Dynamic Brake Relay Failure): This alarm indicates that the contacts of the braking
relay are welded together. Replace amplifier immediately.
IPML, IPMM, etc. (IPM Alarm): The Intelligent Power Module (IPM) is the high current
switching device in the amplifier. The IPM can detect over-current, over-heat or low- voltage
conditions in the power switching circuitry. The suffix (L, M, N, etc.) indicates which axis is
in alarm.
1.
Motor power wiring (U, V and W) may be shorted to ground or connected with
improper phase connections. Check the wiring and connections. Check the
servomotor for shorts to motor frame. Replace the motor if shorted.
2.
Improper motor type code may be configured or excessive values for tuning
parameters. Confirm that the proper motor is configured and lower gain values.
3.
The amplifier maintenance manual will describe the procedure for monitoring
motor current signals (IR and IS). If the waveforms are abnormal replace the
amplifier. If excessive noise is observed check grounds and especially the cable
shield grounds for the command cable (K1) to the amplifier.
4.
The motor may be operating in violation of duty cycle restrictions. Calculate the
amount of cooling time needed based on the duty cycle curves published for the
particular motor.
5.
The motor may be over loaded. Check for excessive friction or binding in the
machine.
6.
For all the above problems, allow ten minutes cooling of the amplifier with minimum
or no motor loading then cycle amplifier power to reset.
