If the axis does not move, first verify that the motion device is connected to the correct driver card, as specified by the labels. Next, check that all relevant parameters (PID, velocity, etc.) are set properly.
What to do if Newport Controller move command not executed?
If a move command isn't executed, it could be due to a software travel limit being reached in the specified direction. If limits are set correctly, avoid attempting to move past them. Also, verify that all relevant parameters (PID, velocity, etc.) are set properly.
What to do if Newport Controller home search not completed?
If the home search is not completed, verify that the home search time-out is set correctly. If the home search velocity was changed, the time-out must be increased. If this doesn't solve the issue, carefully observe and record the motion sequence by watching the manual knob rotation, if available, and contact Newport for assistance.
Why is the MOTOR ON green LED not staying on in my Newport Controller?
The MOTOR ON green LED might not stay on due to several reasons. It could be that a limit switch has tripped; in this case, execute a home search routine or manually move the axis. Ensure the limit switch wasn't triggered by a significant issue. Another cause could be an executive following error, so verify that the motion device is connected to the correct driver card. Also, ensure that all setup parameters correspond to the actual motion device installed and that the load specifications for the motion device are not being exceeded.
Why is my Newport Controller system performance below expectations?
If the system performance is below expectations, first verify that the motion device is connected to the correct driver card, as indicated by the labels. Also, ensure that all relevant parameters (PID, velocity, etc.) are set properly.
How to fix no remote communication with Newport Controller?
To resolve remote communication issues, ensure that the computer and the controller use the same line terminator. Verify that the controller is set to communicate on the correct port (RS-232-C or IEEE-488). Also, confirm that all communication parameters match between the computer and the controller.
