•
If you see a small
triangular warning icon
(figure below)
anywhere in the Mode Controls section, hover your cursor over
the triangle to read the message (like a tool tip).
Hover cursor over "warning triangle" to read its message
•
If you exceed your power supply’s capability, ClearPath will tell
you. You’ll see warnings or shutdowns in the Exceptions field at
lower right of the UI. (This does not mean that the motor is
broken.) Try lowering the acceleration and/or velocity of your
moves until the warning goes away.
•
The majority of shutdowns are caused by weak power supplies,
mechanical problems, and/or inappropriate settings. If your
ClearPath experiences a shutdown, it is
reporting
a problem, but
is not necessarily causing the problem.
•
You can clear most shutdowns by toggling the Enable Input, but if
you don’t fix the underlying problem, you will probably continue
to have shutdowns.
•
IF THE STATUS LED FLASHES
RED
, your ClearPath motor has
identified an internal hardware problem and needs to be returned
for repair or replacement.
