What to do if I get an 'output stage fault' error message on my Beckhoff AM8100?
If you receive an 'output stage fault' error message on your Beckhoff Engine, it could be due to a short circuit or earth leakage in the motor cable. In this case, replace the motor cable. Alternatively, the motor itself might have a short circuit or earth leakage, requiring you to replace the motor.
Why doesn't the motor rotate in my Beckhoff AM8100 Engine?
If your Beckhoff Engine's motor doesn't rotate, several issues could be the cause. First, ensure the servo terminal is enabled by supplying the ENABLE signal. Check the setpoint lead for any breaks. Verify that the motor phases are in the correct sequence and correct them if necessary. Also, confirm that the brake is released by checking the brake control. Finally, inspect the mechanism to ensure the drive isn't mechanically blocked.
What to do if I get a 'brake' error message on my Beckhoff Engine?
If you receive a 'brake' error message related to your Beckhoff Engine, it may be caused by a short-circuit in the supply voltage lead to the motor holding brake; in this case, remove the short circuit. It could also be due to voltage being too low, so try increasing the voltage. Another possibility is a faulty motor holding brake, which would require replacing the motor.
What to do if I get a 'feedback' error message on my Beckhoff Engine?
If you get a 'feedback' error message on your Beckhoff Engine, start by checking if the connector is properly plugged in. Next, check the cables for breaks or crushing. If these steps don't resolve the issue, read error messages from OCT feedback, as there may be an internal error.
Why does the motor run away on my Beckhoff AM8100?
If your Beckhoff Engine's motor runs away, it is possible that the motor phases are in the wrong sequence. Correct the phase sequence to resolve this issue.
Why does the motor oscillate in my Beckhoff AM8100 Engine?
If the motor in your Beckhoff Engine oscillates, it could be due to a break in the shielding of the feedback cable, in which case you should replace the feedback cable. Another potential cause is that the amplification is too high; try using the motor default values.
Why doesn't the brake grip on my Beckhoff AM8100 Engine?
If the brake on your Beckhoff Engine does not grip, it could be because the required holding torque is too high, so check the design. Alternatively, the brake might be faulty, requiring you to replace the motor.
