The HPD’s LED display 
shows decimal points on 
all characters 
 
Check the keypad connection and make sure it was installed 
correctly. 
 
The drive goes in I
2
T mode due to an overload (it required 
more current that was available). 
 
Check: 
 
-  The cables between motor and HPD (there should be 
no inverted phases). Take special care with motors with 
terminals rather than the connector: it’s easy to make a 
mistake. Adhere strictly to the wiring diagrams. 
 Mechanical measurements 
Motor runaway occurs 
when the drive is 
enabled. 
 
The most likely cause of this is an incorrect connection 
between the encoder output of the drive (X7) and the 
encoder input on the axis control. 
 
Another possibility is an incorrect connection between the 
terminals of the analogue output of the axes (DRV1 and Gnd) 
and the analogue reference input of the HPD (X2-terminals 1 
and 2 with shielding on terminal 3). 
Check the wiring of both the analogue reference signal 
cable and the reaction signal cable (encoder). If correct, 
invert the analogue input on the HPD (X2, terminals 1 and 
2). 
See below if the motor now rotates in the wrong direction. 
The motor turns slowly 
when the drive is 
enabled. 
The drive isn’t under the control of the axis controller. 
 Check the cable connecting the encoder output (X7) and the 
axis controller. 
Check the analogue reference cable connecting the drive (X2 – 
terminals 1, 2, and 3) and the axis controller. 
Make sure the analogue output of the axis controller is putting 
out a current. 
The motor doesn’t move 
and has no torque. 
 
Make sure the display shows RUN when the drive is enabled.  
If not, check the connection between X3-terminals 11 and 
19.  Recheck the programming of the HPD and the wiring. 
Check the I/O signals for the axis controller. 
 
The motor turns in the 
wrong direction 
 
 
Invert the encoder signals A & /A and the analogue reference 
inputs on the HPD (X2 – terminals 1 and 2).
