What to do if BST ekr CON 100 actuator isn't moving and shows 'Motor overcurrent'?

Amber WilsonAug 7, 2025
If the BST Controller actuator or guiding device isn't moving and the display shows 'Motor overcurrent', it could be due to several reasons. First, the guiding device may have reached its end position or is blocking the electric motor. Try activating the actuator in the opposite direction, which should automatically clear the warning. Second, the guiding device may be moving with difficulty, so inspect the ball bearings. Lastly, an incorrect material setup for the connected sensors could be the cause. In this case, perform a material setup.

Why does BST Controller actuator move to end position in Automatic mode?
A
Aaron MurphyAug 13, 2025
If, in Automatic mode, the BST Controller actuator or guiding device moves to an end position and remains stationary, it could be due to two main reasons. Firstly, a material setup might not have been performed after changing the material. In this case, perform a material setup. Secondly, the motor rotation direction of the actuator might be incorrectly set; reverse the motor rotation direction.

If the BST Controller actuator or guiding device isn't moving and the display shows 'Motor control timeout', it could be due to several reasons. The actuator might have been activated continuously in the same direction for more than 50 seconds, so try activating it in the opposite direction. Also, inspect the actuator for damage, like a broken spindle. Ensure that the material web is threaded in and check the web tension.

How to deactivate Controller interlock on BST ekr CON 100?
D
Derek HansonAug 26, 2025
If the BST Controller actuator or guiding device isn't moving and the display shows 'Controller interlock', it means that the controller interlock is active. To resolve this, deactivate the controller interlock for all operating modes by bridging terminals 1 and 2.

What to do if BST ekr CON 100 Controller shows 'Limit switch active'?

Melissa CrosbyAug 31, 2025
If an actuator with position feedback isn't moving and the BST Controller display shows 'Limit switch active', the actuator has likely reached a software limit switch, preventing movement in that direction. To resolve this, activate the actuator in the opposite direction. This should automatically clear the symbol.
Guides users on setting software limit switches for stroke limitation and the servo-center position, including teaching new values and exiting settings.
