Modular control electronics / robolink robots
| Problem | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Excessively jerky movement or acceleration and stall of the last joint of a robolink robot during initial set up of the robot | Wrong encoder direction | Swap encoder direction of this joint |
| Green LEDs on the rail modules are off | No power is supplied to the Modules | Check the power supply and the fuse. |
| Motors do not move | Check the emergency stop state. The red LED on the support module most not be on. The LED indicates emergency stop | Deactivate emergency stop. |
| The modules do not react to software commands. The green LEDs are not blinking, they are continuously on | There must not be an empty slot between the support module of the electronics and the joint modules. The CAN connection is interrupted by such an empty slot. | Ensure there is no empty slot between the modules |
| The motor stalls: it does not finish a motion and increases in pitch of sound. | This happens, when the load of the motor was too high. | Check if there was a collision. If this happens several times increase the motor current, see chapter 7 of the manual. |
| CPRog cannot connect | Another application may be using the CAN connection | Close or reset the PCAN-View software, if it is running. |
