Stromag ServoDrive
In case of any problem with the servo-drives, the operator must go to the Survey Motors window. All self-diagnosis values for the servodrives are shown here. If the corresponding output is activated and is uncritical (e.g.ready for operation) the square has a green background, if the status is critical (e.g. overheat) the square has a red background. To go to the Functions Step window: 1. On the main screen, Press F12 key once 2. A menu will appear on the lower side 3. Then, Press the F4 key , marked - Survey Motors 4. The screen shown in Figure 4.1 will come up
Figure 4.1
In case the Survey Motors window shows a red indication, the electronics engineer must check the fault on the actual drive itself, see which LED is ON. The cause of a problem and its solution is mentioned in the table below.
Error
Umin/Umax - red LED
Cause
Undervoltage- Umains <330V
Measure
Check AC input voltage on all six lines to Servo Mains
module (3x435V & Overvoltage - Umains>420V Dissipator Temperature>85C Fuse of Servo-Mains supply blown 3x510V)5%. If one (or more) input lines show a huge voltage drop, then it means that one (or more) fuse(s) have blown, in this case, check & replace the damaged ultra-rapid fuse. Incase all the lines show a difference of 5% then avoid operation of plant until the mains voltage return to normal. (Umains=380V(10V) Allow cool down- Contact Rekers Mains Fault red LED Wrong phase sequence Mains break Check mains supply and phase sequence
Error(flashing LED)
Yellow LED 4- Computer fault, Yellow LED 5- Overheat Yellow LED 6- I2t
Cause
Computer fault Motor temperature too high Sensor cable defective Amperage is high, i.e the motor is taking too much load, it may be stuck mechanically.
Measure
Allow motor to cool down. Contact Rekers Check the free and easy movement of the motor
Sensor fault
Check input voltages Input voltage too high or too low Check input voltage Allow voltages to return to normal
Output stage thermal overload Faulty fan Filterpads clogged Surrounding temperature too high
More detailed instruction of drive trouble is mentioned in the Stromag Manual(AD3). Therefore it is best to refer the Stromag Manuals incase a fault cannot be understood or rectified! Stromag drive units must only be checked in the presence of trained personnels

Cause
Measure
Check and reset Siemens DP module behind board feeder. To reset the module:
Turn RUN/STOP switch to STOP Disconnect the purple Profibus cable Wait for 5 secs Reconnect the cable Now, turn the RUN/STOP switch to RUN First change the cell if available(cell can be accessed by taking out the CPU) 1. Next go to address 921, on Rekers CPU, change the value to
Visualization screen is haywire, master contactor may or may not turn on, reset safety light beam doesnt turn on Cell on the Rekers CPU is dead, therefore the entire program memory is cleared
31(this copies a .zif image of the memory)then reset, 2. Now go to address 921 again, change the value to 21(this copies .s5d program file back into memory)- then reset 3. Check value in
address 989, it should be 1(if facemix drive is removed) 4. Check value in 950, wait for it be 107 5. Finally check actual values of Coarsemix feedbox, pallet pusher feedbox & facemix feedbox. Change if necessary(6302, 6322, 6324) Set both RUN/STOP switches to the STOP position Set both ON/OFF switches to "0" Remove batteries from Siemens S5-95F PLC remains in STOP or ERR mode both basic units, then wait for Unknown 2 minutes Set both ON/OFF switches to "I" Insert the batteries in both basic units Switch system to RUN mode Rekers CPU shows -0001, 0002 Test-code not normal Change value to 0000 manually from the CPU
Check the two levers on hydraulic station, both of them Nothing working in service mode. Levers on hydraulic station are not in correct position should be in the down position. Also check the valves on the small hydraulic pump When making a basic position, tamperhead is unable to move to target position, however manually tamper can be lifted up Machines Hydraulic System works in Service mode but not in Manual or Automatic mode Facemix section comes down shaking.** Machine hydraulic system doesnt work at all Rekers CPU doesnt show any error but the Master Contactor does not work Reset safety light beam switch not pressed Only tamper not working in Service or Manual Check-valve on Tamper cylinder not working Re-adjust LVDT adjustment out Restart panel and check if the reset safety light beam switch comes on Clean check-valve Emergency switch activated Pressure Reducing Valve or Main Control Block is not allowing oil to flow Check Control Block, specially Check valve damaged the check-valve & spring system Check the check-valve right next to pump, and right after the control block Check all emergency switches Program maybe corrupt, check the function step- does it show Tamper drive ready? Leaving everything in automatic, check value in 104, if the value is 1000, then change it to 0 Check Pressure reducing valve

Reflective sensors on trolley not working Rekers CPU needs reset Sensor on the top of elevator or on conveyers not working One of the contactor is not working, check entire line.
Check and replace the small reflective sensors Reset the CPU, if it does not work then restart the panel Check all sensors
Use a grip-plier to spin the docking motors shaft. This can be done directly by rotating the small cylindrical shaft from the top.
Check if the I/O is triggering those particular outputs Replace the card
On the cuber side: all the conveyors stop working(1-8). But, the lowerator, pallet turner & pallet stacker are working.
Check on Cuber CPU if input 2-A0-E1.7 is ON or not. If the input is not on then press the yellow button on the safety wire box, this will deactivate the safety stop.
If the input is OFF then it means the contactor K1(Found in 4th door of the cabinet from the left) is off, turn it back on.
