Revision September 2013 B-1
Appendix B Maintenance and
Inspection
Delta AC servo drives are based on solid state electronics technology. Preventive
maintenance is required to operate this AC servo drives in its optimal condition, and to
ensure a long life. It is recommended to perform a periodic maintenance and inspection of
the AC servo drive by a qualified technician. Before any maintenance and inspection,
always turn off the AC input power to the unit.
Be sure to disconnect AC power and ensure that the internal capacitors have
fully discharged before performing the maintenance and inspection!
Basic Inspection
After power is in connected to the AC servo drive, the charge LED will be lit which
indicates that the AC servo drive is ready.
Item Content
General Inspection
Periodically inspect the screws of the servo drive, motor shaft, terminal block
and the connection to mechanical system. Tighten screws as necessary as
they may loosen due to vibration and varying temperatures.
Ensure that oil, water, metallic particles or any foreign objects do not fall
inside the servo drive, motor, control panel or ventilation slots and holes. As
these will cause damage.
Ensure the correct installation and the control panel. It should be free from
airborne dust, harmful gases or liquids.
Ensure that all wiring instructions and recommendations are followed;
otherwise damage to the drive and or motor may result.
Inspection before
operation
(Control power is
not applied)
Inspect the servo drive and servo motor to insure they were not damaged.
To avoid an electric shock, be sure to connect the ground terminal of servo
drive to the ground terminal of control panel.
Before making any connection, wait 10 minutes for capacitors to discharge
after the power is disconnected, alternatively, use an appropriate discharge
device to discharge.
Ensure that all wiring terminals are correctly insulated.
Ensure that all wiring is correct or damage and or malfunction may result.
Visually check to ensure that there are not any unused screws, metal strips,
or any conductive or inflammable materials inside the drive.
