E-Stop Error

Problem

If the machine is not operating and the” information light” at the rear status panel of the machine and the firmware LED on the logic board flashes with the following eight-bit pattern as described here:

Where 0 indicates a short pulse which is 1/4 second and 1 indicates a long pulse which is 1 second long.

Solution

The following items provide step by step instructions on how to break down the cause of the issue:

1. Open MotorScope and check which button is pressed

   1. Pendant E-Stop is detected as pressed when the pendant is disconnected

   2. Chassis E-Stop is detected as pressed when the jumper is missing from J17. The jumper is needed on machines without a built-in E-Stop (i.e. Vertex).

   3. ADIO E-Stop is detected as pressed when DIP switch S1 is in the Enable position. Set to Bypass unless an external E-Stop is being used.

   4. If no specific E-Stop button is pressed, but the machine is still in E-Stop without any fault occurring:

      • Press the Front Button to see if it is possible to turn it green.

      • If not, there is a hardware issue:

        • Logic Board

        • Temperature Sensor Boards
