Troubleshooting
Problem (7)
The controller does not seem to react properly to limit signals from the
stage.
Solutions: Verify that the “limit-switch-polarity” and “stage-has-limit-
switches” axis-parameters (depends on stage type) are set
properly (in native command set, commands: Lx, in GCS SPA)
Non-PI stage limit signal not compatible with Mercury™ limit
signal input (e.g. insufficient source or sink current). Contact PI
and stage manufacturer to determine where the problem lies
Verify that the hardware-interlock limit switch polarity is properly
set (DIP switch 7 OFF for active-high, for standard PI DC motor
drives)
Problem (8)
The stage does not react to joystick motions.
Solution Make sure that the joystick is properly connected and enabled
A joystick calibration procedure routine may be required: see the
respective Software manual for details
