Chapter 8 Troubleshooting
Many of the problems that affect motion control systems can be traced to software errors, mistake in wiring, or
electrical noise. In the event that your DMC5400 doesn
’
t operate properly, the first step is to identify whether the
problem is software or hardware 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. It is important to document each step in the troubleshooting process.
You may need this documentation to refer back to at a later date, and these details will greatly assist our Technical
Support staff in determining the problem should you need assistance.
If the DMC5400 still can
’
t operate properly after following the troubleshooting form, please contact Leadshine
