Red LED is illuminated on the front of the 7500 Controller
- If the COM LED is off, check to make sure that the Ethernet cable is securely plugged into the back of the controller and to the Ethernet switch.
- If the COM LED is on or flashing, refer to VMSG Receiver — (vx7500_receiver.exe) to determine the error messages that are being sent back from the controller. Once you have determined the error messages, refer back to this document for more information.
Received error: position error exceeded maximum allowed position error
- Reset the motor then try again. If the error still occurs, proceed to next item.
- Check the 50 pin ribbon cable is plugged in securely.
- Check that the encoder signal is moving up and down.
- Verify that the motor can move by hand.
- If the motor still does not spin, contact Vena. It is either a bad encoder or a bad connection between the encoder and the 50 pin ribbon cable.
- If the motor spins fine on the new station, contact Vena. There might be a problem with the motion control amplifier for that station.
