7. Trouble Shooting
1. Be sure all connections are tight and secure.
2. Be sure all wiring is to the wiring specifications.
3. Be sure power is applied, typical 24 Vdc @ 2 A, 30 Vdc max.
4. Board fails to respond, chips on the board get hot: The major cause for total board failure
is hot swapping the power connector at the driver board this causes a power serge and may
also cause static discharge. The board is static sensitive.
5. Motor fails to rotate: Check motor wiring, check the program being run to be sure there is the
proper current setting, and check the program to be sure there sufficient acceleration ramp to
obtain the speed required.
6. Pump fails to stop: If the program is set up to stop the pump at a prescribed location and it
fails to stop at all. The most probable cause is a failure of the board seeing the flag signal. See
(Pump fails to stop in the correct location) for more information.
7. Pump fails to stop in the correct location: Check the program being run for programming
errors if the pump is programmed to stop at a place other the leading edge of the flag. Check
the sensor for function. This can be done with the ICST-PLE using the target inspector (Page
10), click select all than auto read. The sensor is INPUT 2 and should change state while
rotating the pump drive by hand. Checking the sensor itself is more difficult. If the sensor can
be removed from the pump body a volt meter across the blue wire connection and the green
wire connection will show the change in state if the light source is blocked and unblocked.
8. Failure to communicate with the driver board: Make sure the interface cable is installed
correctly, see page 13.
9. Program seems not to load properly: Loading a program repeatedly, making numerous
changes may cause the loader to fail to operate correctly. This is not usual case, but is a
software generated situation. To fix this, just go in the installed file directory (the place where
the program being loaded is located) and delete the files with the programs name with the file
extensions .LST and .BIN. Reload the program.
