9  Troubleshooting 

During operation the display can show a defined error code. A reason can be the buffer 
overflowing, a temperature value out of range or a overshooting of the actuating system. Promptly 
the error code is provided on the display and on the connected PC too. The code is 16bit wide and 
it’s binary-coded  (

ERROR,FWch0,FWch1,FWch2)

. The code is based on follow:  

 

bit 

description 

actuator not connected 

actuator with shorten circuit 

12 

out of range downwards 

13 

out range overshooting 

14 

wrong actuator type 

15 

temperature out of range 

 

 

2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11  not used

Some possible errors and their corrections are listed in the following table:

possible error correction 

function after 
switching on 

Please  check  the  main  voltage  supply  and  all  connections.  Please  check  the 
position of the main power switch on the back side. Please check if the main 
power module plugged in (indicated by a LED)  

 

dispaly shows: „not 
connected“

 

Please  check  if  the  actuator  is  plugged  in  and  the  connector  fixed  by  the 
screws correctly. Please check all cables and connectors for any damage. 

 

The UDL or OVL sign 
flashes during open 
loop mode 

Check the value of the Offset. High modulating voltage overdrives the 
amplifier. Switch off the modulation or reduce the modulation voltage until 
sign is off. 

The UDL or OVL sign 
flashes during closed 
loop mode 

 

Buffer overflow: please check the status of the actuating system. The system 
must be able to move over the entire travel range without limitation. Also an 
mechanically  overloaded  system  can  cause  this  error  code.  For  more 
information  about  the  max.  load,  please  check  the  calibration  information 
provided with the actuating system.

  

actuating system is 
oscillating during 
operation

 

The resonant mode of actuating system is reached. The calibration data needs 
to  be  adjusted  according  to  the  load  or  control  function.  Reducing  of  the 
applied load.
