A.C50:
Polarity Detec-
tion Failure
The parameter set-
tings are not correct.
Check the linear
encoder specifications
and feedback signal
status.
The settings of Pn282
(Linear Encoder Pitch)
and Pn080 = n.
X
(Motor Phase Selection)
may not match the instal-
lation. Set the parame-
ters to correct values.
There is noise on the
scale signal.
Check to make sure
that the frame grounds
of the Serial Converter
Unit and Servomotor
are connected to the
FG terminal on the SER-
VOPACK and that the
FG terminal on the SER-
VOPACK is connected
to the frame ground on
the power supply. And,
confirm that the shield
is properly processed
on the Linear Encoder
Cable. Check to see if
the detection reference
is repeatedly output in
one direction.
Implement appropriate
countermeasures against
noise for the Linear
Encoder Cable.
–
An external force was
applied to the Moving
Coil of the motor.
–
The polarity cannot be
properly detected if the
detection reference is 0
and the speed feedback
is not 0 because of an
external force, such as
cable tension, applied to
the Moving Coil. Imple-
ment measures to reduce
the external force so that
the speed feedback goes
to 0.
If the external force can-
not be reduced, increase
the setting of Pn481
(Polarity Detection Speed
Loop Gain).
–
The linear encoder
resolution is too low.
Check the linear
encoder scale pitch to
see if it is within 100
μ
m.
If the linear encoder scale
pitch is 100
μ
m or higher,
the SERVOPACK cannot
detect the correct speed
feedback. Use a linear
encoder scale pitch with
higher resolution. (We rec-
ommend a pitch of 40
μ
m
or less.)
Or, increase the setting of
Pn485 (Polarity Detection
Reference Speed). How-
ever, increasing the set-
ting of Pn485 will increase
the Servomotor move-
ment range that is
required for polarity
detection.
