If the Hiwin Amplifier is showing a Hall sensor error, verify that the Hall sensor has been wired correctly and that it is not signaling an error.
What to do if Hiwin D1-N Amplifier shows Hall sensor error?
If the Hiwin Amplifier is showing a Hall sensor error, verify that the Hall sensor has been wired correctly and that it is not signaling an error.
What to do if Hiwin D1-N Amplifier shows Right HW limit?
If the Hiwin Amplifier displays a 'Right HW limit' error, it means the positive hardware limit switch is active, and the motor must not exceed this position. Check whether the hardware limit switch has actually triggered. Also, check in the “I/O set/test” window whether the limit switch logic is set correctly.
What does it mean when Hiwin D1-N Amplifier shows 5 V for encoder card fail?
If the Hiwin Amplifier displays a '5 V for encoder card fail' message, it indicates an error in the encoder power supply. Turn off the drive amplifier, reconnect the encoder plug, and inspect the encoder cable for any damage.
What does a current control error mean on a Hiwin D1-N?
If the Hiwin Amplifier shows a current control error, there's an error in the current loop. Verify that the correct motor type has been selected, that the correct KP and CG have been set, and that the encoder has been installed correctly. Also, inspect the encoder cable.
What does Hiwin D1-N Amplifier position error warning mean?
If the Hiwin Amplifier is giving a position error warning, it means the position error exceeds the set warning level. Check whether the “Common Gain” amplification is set correctly and whether too low a “Position error” value is perhaps selected under the “Protection” tab in the “Application center.”
Why is my Hiwin D1-N Amplifier showing an over voltage error?
If the Hiwin Amplifier detects an over voltage, it's likely due to the intermediate circuit voltage being too high. Verify that the main energy supply for the drive amplifier is within specified limits. Also, check if the moved motor mass or its mass inertia is excessively large. Consider whether a brake resistor is required for the mass being used.
What should I do if my Hiwin D1-N says the motor may be disconnected?
If the Hiwin Amplifier indicates that the motor might be disconnected, the motor cable may not be correctly connected. Switch off the amplifier and disconnect the motor connector. Measure the resistance of all three motor phases on the connector and check whether the measured values deviate from the specifications of the motor. Remove the cable from the motor connector and do the same measurement again directly on the motor to make sure the motor cable does not have a short circuit. The values should be symmetrical.
What does it mean when my Hiwin D1-N Amplifier displays 'Velocity Limited'?
If the Hiwin Amplifier is 'Velocity Limited', the speed has reached the limit set in 'Velocity mode'. Increase the corresponding value in the 'Performance center' under 'Motion Protection'.
What to do if Hiwin D1-N Amplifier shows encoder error?
If your Hiwin Amplifier displays an encoder error, it indicates an error in the encoder signal. Verify that the encoder is properly connected and that you have selected the correct encoder type in the “Configuration center.”
How to troubleshoot Hiwin Amplifier position error?
If you're encountering a large position error with your Hiwin Amplifier, it suggests there's too great a position error. Verify that the “Common Gain” amplification is correctly configured. Also, check the “Protection” tab in the “Application center” to ensure that the “maximum pos error” value is not set too low.
