What to do if IAI SCON-CA turns on when communication alarm or command alarm is generated?
If the IAI Controller turns on when a communication alarm or command alarm is generated, first check whether an alarm occurs on the host controller, such as a PLC. Also, check the alarm code on the teaching tool, such as PC software.
How to troubleshoot IAI Controller board not connected to the master unit?
If the IAI Controller board is not connected to the master unit, take the following steps: * Check the voltage of the main power supply. * Check the connectors for disconnection or connection error. * Check the cables for connection error, disconnection, or pinching. * Check the noise elimination measures, such as grounding and the installation of a surge killer.
What to do if the IAI SCON-CA Fieldbus Module is not detected?
If the IAI Controller's Fieldbus module is not being detected, power it off, then reboot the system. If the problem persists after rebooting, further assistance is needed.
What to do if ALM LED turns on when IAI Controller's power is supplied?
If the ALM LED illuminates when you power on the IAI Controller, it indicates an alarm. Connect the teaching tool to check the error code and then address the cause, referring to the alarm list for guidance.
What to do if the IAI Controller actuator doesn't move after inputting position No. and start signal?
If the IAI Controller actuator doesn't move despite inputting the position number and start signal, the issue might stem from PIO signal processing, the position table setting, or the operation mode selection. Check if the SV LED is on and turn on the servo-on signal SON of PIO. Ensure the PIO pause signal *STP is on. Verify the sequence and settings in the position table. Note that if there's no positioning data set to the commanded position number, it will generate Alarm Code 0A2, indicating a 'Position Data Error'.
What causes IAI Controller operation to complete on the way to home return?
If the IAI Controller completes operation prematurely during home return, it may be due to a large load or interference with surrounding objects. Reduce the load, remove any interference, and check if the slider can move smoothly by loosening the fixing bolts. Please contact IAI.
How to resolve noise and/or vibration from IAI Controller actuator?
If the IAI Controller actuator generates noise and/or vibration, servo adjustment may improve the situation.
Why is operation not performed even though the teaching tool is connected to IAI Controller?
If operation isn't performed even with the teaching tool connected and power supplied to the IAI Controller, it could be due to an emergency stop condition (EMG LED is ON, and EMG + and - are not connected) or a servo OFF condition. Make a short circuit between EMG + and -. Warning: After the adjustment work is finished, put back the setting as soon as possible.
What to do if the IAI Controller overshoots during deceleration to stop?
If the IAI Controller experiences overshoot during deceleration to a stop, decrease the setting of deceleration.
