Common faults
What usually fails on a unit like the PS-5
Motion controllers, regulators and machine-specific drive cards coordinate speed, position or current. Faults appear as wrong movement, trips or loss of control, and the card is usually repairable at component level.
Loss of control or wrong speed
Faults in feedback inputs, reference signals or the control loop on the card.
Card dead or resetting
On-board supply faults and failed processors or memory.
Communication faults
Lost connection with the PLC, drives or the operator panel.
Output stage faults
Failed drivers for valves, contactors or power stages.
Crane and hoist control faults
Radio remote, interlock and speed-control faults on cranes and hoists.
Power section
This is a power part, so it is checked under real load after repair, not just for output voltage at no load. Ageing capacitors and switching devices are replaced as found, since they are the usual cause.
First checks
What to check before calling an engineer
Isolate and lock out the supply, and wait for stored energy to discharge, before opening anything.
Safe for plant staff
- Note LEDs, alarm codes and when the fault occurs.
- Check reference and feedback wiring.
- Check the card's supply voltage.
Leave to a specialist
- Component-level repair and testing.
- Setting and tuning control loops.
- Work on crane and hoist safety circuits.
