10.1 ERROR CONDITIONS
On the LS, if an error occurs, a message will be displayed on the console describing the error. This mes-
sage must be cleared by pressing the ENTER key before proceeding. Some errors are displayed when
the machine is rst powered on and indicate faults that were detected during the power up sequence.
If the LS machine is being used with a computer and NEXYGENPlus™ software, similar messages will be
displayed on the computer by NEXYGENPlus™.
The ERROR messages are as follows:
Data Packet Error
This error indicates that an invalid data packet has been received across the USB interface. All data
transferred via USB is checked for errors and resent if any error occurs, so this message should never be
displayed. If it is seen it is indicative of other problems occurring either within the machine or at the PC.
Motor Drive Fault
This indicates that the motor drive system has reported an error condition.
Upper limit switch
The adjustable upper limit switch has been hit. This can be cleared by adjusting the upper limit or driving
