3.1 Safety Precautions
- Grounding: The driver must be connected to a proper earth ground. Failure to do so can result in electric shock or damage to the equipment.
- Ensure the power supply is disconnected before making any connections.
- This product operates at AC 220V, which is high voltage. Only qualified personnel should perform installation and wiring.
3.2 Wiring Connections
- Power Input (AC 220V): Connect the main power supply to the designated AC 220V input terminals. Ensure correct polarity if applicable and secure connections.
- Motor Connections (MOTOR-X, MOTOR-Y):
- Connect the primary servo motor to the MOTOR-X terminals (U, V, W).
- If a secondary motor or auxiliary output is used, connect it to the MOTOR-Y terminals.
- Encoder Feedback (CN1, CN4):
- Connect the main motor encoder to CN1 (Encoder-X).
- Connect any auxiliary encoder to CN4 (Encoder-K).
- Ensure encoder cables are shielded and properly routed away from power cables to prevent interference.
- Communication (CN2): Connect communication cables (485/CAN) to CN2 for external control or monitoring, if required by your embroidery machine system.
- Fault Output (FAULT-X): Connect the fault output to the machine's control system to enable error detection and emergency stops.
- DIP Switches (DIP1): Configure DIP switches (DIP1) according to your specific machine's requirements. Refer to your embroidery machine's manual for correct settings.
After all connections are made, double-check all wiring for security and correctness before applying power.
4. Operation
Once properly installed and powered, the Dahao AC Servo Motor Controller Driver will operate in conjunction with your embroidery machine's main control system. The driver translates control signals into precise motor movements, enabling functions such as needle positioning, frame movement, and thread trimming.
- Ensure the embroidery machine's main power is on and the control panel is initialized.
- Monitor the machine's display for any error codes or warnings related to the servo system.
- Refer to your embroidery machine's operational manual for specific instructions on starting, stopping, and adjusting embroidery processes that utilize the servo motors.
5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and reliable performance of the servo motor driver.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the driver to prevent dust and debris buildup, especially around cooling vents. Use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners directly on the unit.
- Connection Checks: Annually, or as needed, inspect all wiring connections for tightness and signs of wear or corrosion. Loose connections can lead to intermittent operation or damage.
- Environmental Conditions: Ensure the operating environment is within the recommended temperature and humidity ranges to prevent overheating or moisture damage.
- Ventilation: Ensure adequate airflow around the unit to prevent overheating. Do not block ventilation openings.
6. Troubleshooting
This section provides general guidance for common issues. For complex problems, consult a qualified technician or the manufacturer.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Driver not powering on | No power supply; loose power connection; internal fuse blown. | Check power source and connections. Inspect internal fuses (if accessible and safe to do so). |
| Motor not responding | Incorrect wiring; encoder fault; communication error; motor fault. | Verify motor and encoder wiring. Check communication cables. Consult embroidery machine's error codes. |
| FAULT-X indicator active | Overcurrent; overvoltage; overheating; encoder error; motor overload. | Check motor load. Verify power supply stability. Ensure proper ventilation. Inspect encoder connections. |
| Intermittent operation | Loose connections; electrical interference; faulty component. | Tighten all connections. Ensure proper grounding and shielding. Isolate from noise sources. |
