EM1 Series Digital Stepper Drive User Manual Time(s) of Priority Sequence wave of red LED Description Blink Over-current protection activated when peak current exceeds the limit. Over-voltage protection activated when drive working voltage is greater than 60VDC Reserved. When above protections are active, the motor shaft will be free or the red LED blinks. Reset the drive by repowering it to make it function properly after removing above problems.
EM1 Series Digital Stepper Drive User Manual 12. Troubleshooting In the event that your drive doesn’t operate properly, the first step is to identify whether the problem is electrical or mechanical in nature. The next step is to isolate the system component that is causing the problem. As part of this process you may have to disconnect the individual components that make up your system and verify that they operate independently.
