    Why is my StepperOnline CL86T motor not rotating?
    • A
      Amy YoungAug 19, 2025
      If your StepperOnline Control Unit motor isn't rotating, ensure the power supply is correctly connected. Also, verify that the microstep resolution is appropriately set. Check for any existing fault conditions by inspecting the wiring and restarting the power. If the drive is disabled, restore the drive to its factory settings, and keep ENA+ and ENA- input signals unconnected.

    What to do if StepperOnline CL86T Control Unit motor stalls during acceleration?
    • K
      krodriguezAug 21, 2025
      If your StepperOnline Control Unit motor stalls during acceleration, it could be due to several reasons. The current setting might be too small, so consider using a power supply with larger power or increasing the output current of the drive. The motor might be undersized for the application, in which case you should choose a motor with higher torque. The acceleration might be set too high, so try reducing it. Alternatively, the power supply voltage could be too low, so consider using a power supply with a larger voltage output.

    Why is my StepperOnline CL86T motor motion erratic?
    • L
      Laurie BestAug 25, 2025
      If your StepperOnline Control Unit motor exhibits erratic motion, ensure that the control signal current is within 7-16mA. Also, make sure the control signal cable isn't tied together with the power cable, as this can cause interference. Check that the motor connection is correct by referring to the user manual of the drive and motor datasheet. Finally, inspect the motor itself to ensure it's in normal working condition.

    What to do if StepperOnline Control Unit shows over-current?
    • J
      John ConnerAug 26, 2025
      If your StepperOnline Control Unit is showing an over-current error, immediately turn off the power. Check the wiring for any short circuits and also inspect the motor for short circuits.

    Why does StepperOnline CL86T Control Unit motor vibrate when power on?
    • S
      Sonya ReillySep 2, 2025
      If your StepperOnline Control Unit motor vibrates when powered on, reduce the speed loop Kp value.

    What to do if StepperOnline Control Unit fails to lock motor shaft?
    • R
      Robin LeeSep 4, 2025
      If your StepperOnline Control Unit fails to lock the motor shaft, a) the drive may not be connected to a motor; b) If alarm is occurred when connect a motor, please check the motor power cable.

    What to do if StepperOnline CL86T shows a chip error?
    • K
      Kelly WarnerSep 6, 2025
      If your StepperOnline Control Unit shows a chip error, restart the power supply. If the alarm persists, contact after-sale support.

    What causes position following error in StepperOnline Control Unit?
    • R
      Richard FreemanSep 9, 2025
      If your StepperOnline Control Unit experiences a position following error, a) set SW6 to “ON” to make the motor run in open loop mode. If the alarm disappears, it indicates an encoder wiring error; b) the motor torque might be insufficient, or the motor speed might be too high.
