Overcurrent 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.

This error results from the amplifier board reaching its current limit for the axis. This error can occur on all three axis but the debugging procedure is always the same.

Solution

This might be caused by:

• Amplifier Board

• Motor

• Motor Cables

• Too Much Drive Friction
