When you press and release emergency stop on the console, do you see and/or hear the contactor clicking in and out?
The UV and USV lights on the servo drive indicate the presence of the motor power supply (ca. 120 VDC on terminals 9 and 10, "Gnd" and VM). This power comes through the E-stop contactor, so the UV and USV lights should go out when you press E-stop, and should come back on when you release E-stop and allow the contactor to close.
If the contactor clicks in when you release E-stop, but the UV and USV lights stay out, but you can make them come on by pressing on the contactor with a dowel, then you probably have burnt contacts inside.
If the contactor does not click in when you release E-stop, then you need to continue looking at the 24VAC loop. |
this might sound funny but on some of the Semians - Irion controlers we have in our machines I have found that the crimp on the wire terminal was bad and recrimping to get a good connect worked , as far as the 24 volts in the contactor I have found the coil can't take much load at dead stops and get fried for some reason- so I always have a replacement till I can determine if the unit is bad , to keep me up and running. I feel the back BEMF spike takes them out in the hard shut down. just a thought. PS is the contactor in 2 parts the relay and the coil the coil part has a built in current limiter and that can be replaced the contactor is a seprate part and that can be replaced too if you have a gren lite that shows the cuirct is good and the coil has no voltage to pull contactor , I would check the coil and there is an adjustment to incress the current , is it a 2.6 or lower contactor ?
