Why does home search fail on Allen-Bradley Kinetix 300 Servo Drives?
If the Allen-Bradley Servo Drive 'Home search failed', it means the home sensor and/or marker is outside the overtravel limits. Check the wiring and reposition the overtravel limits or sensor.
Why does the motor jump when first enabled on Allen-Bradley Kinetix 300?
When the Allen-Bradley Servo Drive's motor jumps when first enabled, it could be due to a motor wiring error or an incorrect motor selection. Check the motor wiring and verify that the proper motor is selected.
How to troubleshoot status indicator not displaying messages on Allen-Bradley Kinetix 300?
If the status indicator on your Allen-Bradley Kinetix 300 Servo Drive isn't displaying any messages, first check that AC power or back-up power is applied to the drive. If the power is present and the indicator remains blank, it may indicate an internal power supply malfunction. In that case, contact your Allen-Bradley representative.
What does bad battery mean on Allen-Bradley Kinetix 300 Servo Drives?
If you're getting a 'Bad battery' error on your Allen-Bradley Servo Drive, it indicates that the Tamagawa absolute feedback battery voltage is low or missing. Replace the battery. A battery error is set at drive powerup when main power to the encoder is not present or the battery voltage is below 2.75V.
What causes user watchdog timeout on Allen-Bradley Kinetix 300 Servo Drives?
If the user watchdog has timed out on your Allen-Bradley Servo Drives, it could be due to a ladder program error. Ensure you are writing to the WatchDogKick Tag frequently enough to prevent timeout. Also, the watchdog timeout period might be set to too low a value.
What to do if bus undervoltage occurs on Allen-Bradley Kinetix 300 Servo Drives?
If you're experiencing a bus undervoltage issue with your Allen-Bradley Servo Drives, verify the voltage level of the incoming AC power. Also, check the AC power source for glitches or line drop. Consider installing an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) on your AC input.
What to do if memory module error occurs on Allen-Bradley Kinetix 300?
If your Allen-Bradley Servo Drive indicates a 'Memory module error', it means the memory module is bad. Replace the memory module.
What does safe torque-off while enabled mean on Allen-Bradley Kinetix 300 Servo Drives?
If your Allen-Bradley Servo Drive indicates 'Safe torque-off while enabled', it means the safety circuit was opened while the drive was enabled or while attempting to enable. Check the safety circuit.
What causes encoder communication fault in Allen-Bradley Kinetix 300 Servo Drives?
If your Allen-Bradley Servo Drive displays an 'Encoder communication fault', verify motor selection, ensure the motor supports automatic identification, and check motor encoder wiring.
What causes absolute move fault on Allen-Bradley Kinetix 300?
If your Allen-Bradley Servo Drive shows an 'Absolute move fault', it means you initiated a move without being homed. When using an absolute encoder, home the axis before attempting an absolute move.
