    strange behavior of servo motor and its driver

    Hi there

    I am experiencing all strange things in my latest 2*4 CNC wood cutting Router project.

    The latest problem is as follow:
    All my four 750 Delta servo Motors were running nicely, at early stage of my project, but after few days after I tried to put all my cables in the E chain, and finishing my electrical Box and so on, I experienced a strange behavior from most of my Motors.
    With my mach3 controller on I get Alarm (AL 06 ) from my motors Drivers
    (It actually means that I should have the following problems

    • The device has exceeded its rated load during continuous operation
    • Control system parameter setting is incorrect
    • The wiring of motor and encoder is in error
    • The encoder of the motor is in erro


    knowing that I have not even started to work with my machine, and I have not changed my parameters, Therefore I think that my problem should be because of the last 2 issues from the above list

    Also If I turn off my controller as I start my motors at first all my Driver displays show the value if 00000 but, after few minutes the numbers on my Driver's Digital Display start to climb and/or Increase and all of a sudden at least one of the motors creates a sudden very Loud Sound and shake.

    Please let me know what could be the cause of this, and How can I check for the cause of the problem, I think it should be some wiring problem but I do not know how to find it and consequently fix it.

    You stated that your motors were running perfect. If I understand you correctly, you re-positioned your cables and started having problems.
    1. Re-Check all wiring, especially encoder cables.
    2. DO NOT wire HVoltage ie motor drive cables next to encoder cables.
    3. Re-Check all connections.

    If the above does not work, disconnect all except one servo drive, note its performance.
    Re-connect the next drive and do the same above. Continue until you can duplicate the problem.

    Post some pictures of your set-up.

    Hope this helps,

    Have you use the correct shielded cables for the Encoders cables, the shields have to be terminated correctly also

    Hi there

    Thanks a lot for your replies, and advice.
    As you mentioned, I have done some silly mistakes and 2 of my encoder cables were misplaced.
    and after I correct that mistake all is fine now.
