2.5.1.4.
Encoder Fault
This fault will occur if an encoder is not present or if the BAS receives invalid signals
during operation.
2.5.1.5.
Thermistor Fault
The thermistor can be used to monitor the motor. If the motor temperature is too high, the
BAS will detect this condition and generate a fault. Since many motors do not have
thermistors, PRM:21 can be used to disable this fault condition.
2.5.1.6.
RMS Current Error
The above mentioned faults are all monitored by the software. In addition, there is
hardware on the BAS that also monitors the faults of the power stage. These faults are
listed below. Whenever the error message is AMP FAULT, one of the following has
occurred (note that the source of this fault cannot be easily determined):
•
Over temperature
•
Bias supply too low
•
+5V too low
•
RMS current (this is also monitored by the software and cannot be changed)
•
Output short circuit
•
DC bus over-voltage (if this occurs, a shunt board may be required).
2.5.2. F1- Abort Entry/Up One Menu Level
Pressing F1 aborts the current menu operation or moves up one level in the menu.
2.5.3. F2/F3 - Previous/Next Menu
This command allows the user to change the displayed parameters. The parameter
screens are circular, (i.e., if the user continually presses F3 or F2, they will eventually
return to the starting screen).
2.5.4. T - Transfer Parameters
Pressing "T" permits the user to upload or download parameters to their PC. The user is
queried to enter the file. File names follow the 8.3 convention and can contain numbers or
letters.
2.5.5. Space Bar
Pressing the space bar cycles through the available commands on the top level menu.
2.5.6. CTRL-D
Pressing "CTRL-D" issues a reset to the BAS. This is needed to clear any fault(s)
