G320 Fault

Hello,

I just finished wiring up my 3 g320's. They are mounted in the same enclosure as my power supply, eveything is as neat an tidy as possible so as to avoid any unwanted shorts. I powered up the unit the three gecko's fault lights dissapeared and I started tuning my servo motor connected to my z axis drive. No other motors were connected at this time. A couple of times I faulted the z axis by running at too high rpms, nothing major.. I played around with gain and damping till I was happy. When I looked back at the enclosure the x axis had faulted for some reason. I had tested but not tuned the x axis earlier and all was fine.

I have checked all the wiring and all seems fine... besides that nothing could have changed as I have not bumped or moved the enclosure not that that should affect it.

The x axis stays faulted no matter what... I connected a motor/encoder with no luck and I have checked that there is +5 on the err pin. I may have commanded some moves on the x axis with no motor connected, is this a problem?

Can anyone think of what might be wrong with the drive... is it now permanently damaged? What options do I have... I live in Australia and sending it back to the USA is not desirable.


The power supply is as follows:

Toroidal transformer at 30Vac 18A connected via 63V 44000uF Cap, rectifier etc...

The motors I am using are from camtronics, 600 oz/in at 38vdc with US digital 250cpr encoders.


Please I appreciate any feedback, the y & z axes are fine!


Thankyou.

Jason Cox.
