4 Troubleshooting

Chapter Objectives

The information in this chapter will enable you to:

❏Maintain the system to ensure smooth, efficient operation

❏Isolate and resolve system problems

Drive Maintenance

Ensure that the drive's heatplate has proper thermal contact with the mounting surface. Enclosures must be connected to earth ground through a grounding electrode conductor to provide a low- impedance path for ground-fault or noise-induced currents (use a star washer with the lower mounting screw on the drive). All earth ground connections must be continuous and permanent. Periodi- cally check the mounting screws to ensure they are tight.

Motor Maintenance

Inspect the motor regularly to ensure that no bolts or couplings have become loose during normal operation. This will prevent minor problems from developing into more serious problems.

Inspect the motor cable periodically for signs of wear. This inspec- tion interval is duty-cycle, environment, and travel-length dependent. The cable should not have excessive tensile force applied to it and should not be bent beyond a one-inch radius of curvature during normal operation. Tighten all cable connectors.

Reducing Electrical Noise

For detailed information on reducing electrical noise in your system, refer to the current Compumotor Catalog.

Problem Isolation

When your system does not function properly (or as you expect it to operate), the first thing that you must do is identify and isolate the problem. When you accomplish this, you can effectively begin to resolve and eradicate the problem.

The first step is to isolate each system component and ensure that each component functions properly when it is run independently. You may have to dismantle your system and put it back together piece by piece to detect the problem. If you have additional units available, you may want to use them to replace existing components in your system to help identify the source of the problem.
