Appendix F: Stepper Drive Module Replacement
In the case that one of the three stepper drive modules of the MX3660 does not work (
the green LED light is not on
when the MX3660 is powered on
) you can replace it with a Leadshine SDM660 stepper drive module. Contact us for
getting a new SDM660.
Appendix G: Warranty Information
The MX3660 3-axis stepper drive comes with 12-month limited warranty under proper use. Contact your MX3660
supplier first for warranty service. If your MX3660 was bought through Leadshine or one of its subsidiaries, contact
us directly.
Appendix H: Trouble Shooting
In the case that the MX3660 doesn’t operate properly, the first step is to identify whether the problem is electrical
or mechanical in nature. The next step is to isolate the system component that is causing the problem. As part of
this process you may have to disconnect the individual components that make up your system and verify that they
operate independently. It is important to document each step in the troubleshooting process. You may need this
documentation to refer back to at a later date, and these details will greatly assist our Technical Support staff in
determining the problem should you need assistance.
Many of the problems that affect motion control systems can be traced to electrical noise, controller software
errors, or mistakes in wiring.
The following table shows some commonly asked symptoms and possible solutions.
