Spotline V2: Troubleshooting

Machines are complex - making them run smoothly can be challenging. Below are common issues and how to solve them.

• Motor won't move and immediately trips a VFD fault

  • Load the correct parameters and run an autotune

• Motion isn't smooth

  • check Spikemark PID values

  • reduce load and check motion

  • check rigging for hang-ups

• X-Groove sensor is tripping

  • Check for x-groove

  • Check for cable "knuckle" at drum entry location

  • Adjust the x-groove sensor

    • Each sensor has a light that turns on when the bar is WITHIN PROXIMITY. If either light is out, you will see an XG.

• Positioning is poor

  • Separate motor and signal cables

• Load cells

  • Check load cell scaling

  • adjust minimum/maximum loads

  • check for interference/hangups
