English
Have the following information ready:
•
Nameplate data
•
type and scope of the malfunction, situation on occurrence of the malfunction
•
application data (torque cycle, speed and forces over time; ambient conditions)
The following selection of possible causes can be helpful in the fault rectification process:
Malfunction
Cause
Remedy
Motor does not start
No controller enable
Controller fault, encoder fault
Brake does not release
Faulty brake
No power supply
Rotating field
