If the output LED does not turn on as expected (in the above software routine),
check the microswitch itself. Use a small screwdriver to press down on the
microswitch. You should hear it click and see it pop back up. If this does not
happen, the microswitch should be fixed or replaced.
•
If the microswitch has clicked, depress it again and, with an ohmmeter, check
whether the microswitch shorts its two poles.
•
If there is a short, depress the switch again and check the wires between the
microswitch and D50 connector.
•
If there is a short, depress the switch and check the two microswitch pins in the
D50 connector. (Refer to Chapter 8 for wiring and pin information).
3. One axis turns constantly in one direction.
•
Press and release the SCORPOWER Emergency button to reset the controller. Then
give the command to home the robot.
4. One of the axes or gripper does not respond, or does not function properly.
•
Make sure you have performed all steps in Item 1 and Item 2.
•
Turn the SCORPOWER control box off, then on again.
•
Check the encoder. To display encoder readings, select View|Encoders.
Enter the command Control Off (to disable servo control) and then physically move
the axis in question in both directions. The encoder reading should rise for rotation in
one direction and fall for rotation in the opposite direction.
If the encoder readings do not change, the problem is caused by a faulty encoder, a
break in the encoder wiring, or a faulty connection on a PCB within the robot.
