Servo drive malfunction and maintenance

A servo driver is a controller used in conjunction with a servo motor to control the servo motor. It is a part of the servo system and plays a very important role

in the industrial field. So, customers must know some common faults and troubleshooting methods after purchasing servo drives, in order to quickly deal with

similar problems. Today, the editor of Huantong Electromechanical will share with you the maintenance methods for servo drives.

(1) After power on, the LED light of the servo drive does not light up

Fault cause: It may be due to low voltage

Solution: Increase the voltage

(2) The LED light is on, but the servo motor is not rotating

Reason for malfunction: The command signal is not connected to the driver signal ground

Solution: Connect the command signal ground to the driver signal ground

(3) The LED light stays red all the time

Reason for malfunction: There is a malfunction present

Solution: Check if the machine has any issues such as overvoltage, overheating, short circuit, etc.

(4) When the servo motor rotates, the LED light flashes continuously

Fault cause: HALL phase setting error

Solution: Check if the motor phase switch setting is correct.

Have you learned how to summarize several common servo drive faults and their solutions? We can easily handle similar problems in the future.
