What does it mean when my Oriental motor Controller displays an Operation data error?
- J
  James SmithSep 23, 2025
  If your Oriental motor Controller displays an operation data error, it could be due to several reasons: stored data operation was performed with data whose operating speed was 0; operation was performed at the operating speed or operating current exceeding the value set in the “Mechanism protection parameter”; wrap operation was executed when wrap setting was disabled; or push-motion operation or push-motion return-to-home operation was performed with the DGII Series. Check the operation data to identify and correct the specific issue.

Why Oriental motor Astep AZ shows 'Execution disable due to user I/F communication in progress'?
- E
  Edward CookAug 27, 2025
  The Oriental motor Controller displays 'Execution disable due to user I/F communication in progress' because a command requested by the host controller could not be executed, since the driver and the MEXE02 were communicating. Wait until the MEXE02 is completed processing.

  Michael Green Jr.Aug 27, 2025
  If your Oriental motor Controller displays an overcurrent error, immediately turn off both the main and control power supplies. Inspect the motor, cable, and driver for any signs of damage or short circuits. After ensuring everything is in good condition, turn the power supplies back on. If the alarm persists, it could indicate damage to the motor, cable, or driver.

What causes a Rotation error at power on in Oriental motor Controller?
- M
  Molly MooreSep 15, 2025
  A rotation error at power on in your Oriental motor Controller indicates that the motor was being rotated when the control power supply was turned on. Reconsider the load conditions so that the motor output shaft does not rotate by an external force when the control power supply is turned on.

What causes a Sensor error at power-on in Oriental motor Controller?
- P
  pagematthewSep 12, 2025
  A sensor error at power-on in your Oriental motor Controller indicates that an error of the ABZO sensor was detected when the control power supply was turned on. Turn off the main power supply and the control power supply, and check the connection of the ABZO sensor. After that, turn on the main power supply and the control power supply again.

What to do if Oriental motor Controller shows an Overload error?
- A
  arroyoterriSep 14, 2025
  If your Oriental motor Controller displays an overload error, it means that a load exceeding the maximum torque was applied for the time exceeded the value set in the “Overload alarm” parameter. You can try the following: • Decrease the load. • Increase the acceleration/deceleration time or slow the acceleration/ deceleration rate. • Increase the operating current. • Reconsider the operation data.
