Measure AC voltage between terminals R, S, and
T on the bottom of the drive to verify that the line
to line voltage is 180-253V AC at 60 Hz or 180242V AC at 50 Hz.
Check and tighten screws that connect the Power
Board to the power terminal block. Check for
other loose screws or connectors in Power Unit.
Check fuses FU2R, FU2S, and (on A22 only)
FU2T and replace malfunctioning fuse.

2. Check 5V DC power supply fuse F7 (or F13 on
A04/A06 size unit) and replace malfunctioning

below the display on the I/O Board (below and
right on A04/A06 size unit). Turn CCW to
increase intensity and contrast.
Logic power supply has
malfunctioned.
Measure voltage at +5V DC test point to verify
proper power supply operation.
Display has malfunctioned.
If no +5V DC, remove AC power and then
remove cover from board connector CN8 (CN15
on A04/A06 drive). Reapply AC power and using
a voltmeter, verify voltage between pins 3 and 4
(pins 1 and 32 on A04/A06 drive) is 255-355V
DC. If supply voltage is OK, replace Main Control
Board (or Gate Drive Board on A04/A06 drive).
If no 255-355V DC, verify Interconnect Boards
are properly seated in connectors. Inspect contacts
in both connectors to assure that they are making
proper contact with the Interconnect Boards.

2. Verify that the resolver connector in the motor
terminal box is properly inserted.
3. Check each connector to verify that it is wired
according to the 8510 User Manual.

1. On Main Control Board (Gate Drive Board on
A04/A06 drives), check test points S1 and S2
for excitation sine waves (these will not be
smooth, but will have a staircase look). See
Figure 1.3 for typical resolver waveforms. If
waveforms are not correct, then unplug the
resolver cable connector, CN3. If the
waveforms are now correct then the resolver
cable is miswired or the resolver is
malfunctioning. If the waveforms are still not
correct, replace the Main Control Board (or
Gate Drive Board).
2. Check test point R1 for a smooth, clean
feedback sine wave. See Figure 1.3 for typical
waveform. If R1 waveform correct, replace
Main Control Board (or Gate Drive Board)
3. If R1 waveform is missing or incorrect, check
resolver wiring. If wiring OK, replace
motor/resolver.

Shorted or voltage breakdown of
motor or motor cabling to ground
or another phase.
Disconnect motor at the drive. Use a megger (high
voltage ohmmeter) to verify that the insulation
resistance to ground for each phase is at least 5

disconnect the power wires at the motor terminal
box and use the megger to measure phase-to-phase
insulation resistance. Verify that the insulation
resistance between U & V, V & W, and W & U is
at least 5 megohms. For single winding motors,
use an ohmmeter to measure resistance between
phases; depending on motor size, value measured
should be from 0.1-1.0 ohms and should be
approximately the same between each phase.

Possible Solutions
Feedback device is incorrectly
phased.
Use the ORIENT SETUP - FEEDBACK DEFN Encdr Phasing parameter to reverse the phasing of
the orient feedback device.
Wrong type of feedback device
has been specified.
The ORIENT SETUP - FEEDBACK DEFN Encoder Type parameter must be set to
"OPTICAL PULSE" when an optical encoder is
used and to “MAGNET ANALOG” when the high
resolution magnetic feedback is used. Change this
parameter to the correct setting and store it in
EEPROM by energizing the Drive Enable input.
After the correct setting is stored, AC power must
be removed from the drive and then reapplied to
reset this parameter value in the drive control
software.
The number of encoder lines has
been incorrectly programmed.
Use the ORIENT SETUP - FEEDBACK DEFN Encoder Lines parameter to set the correct encoder
line count or number of teeth on the high

Adjust SERVO MODE - Hl SPD RANGE P and I
gains to obtain quick stopping without overshoot
when the Run command is energized/deenergized.
Either the velocity loop or the
orient position loop is not tuned
correctly.
The accel/decel ramp rate settings
are too slow relative to the orient
position loop settings.
The accel/decel ramp rate setting limits the decel
rate that can be obtained during orient and a slow
decel rate can cause overshoot. Reduce the value
of the Acc Rate #1 or Acc Rate #2 parameter
setting or select the quicker accel/decel rate
setting.
The orient mode tuning requires a
faster decel rate than the drive
can provide.
Reduce the value of the ORIENT TUNE - Orient
Speed parameter setting or increase the value of
the ORIENT TUNE - Orient Start parameter
setting. As explained in the 8510 Programming
Manual (publication 8510-5.2), these parameters
control the orient position loop gain and define the
required deceleration rate.

signal should be less then 0.1 volts when the gear
is properly installed. The magnitude of the signal
can be changed by changing the gear to sensor
airgap.
Interconnecting cable or sensor
are defective.
1. Verify that proper signals are received from the
sensor. See Figure 1.4 for correct waveforms.
2. If not correct, check cables and connectors for
continuity and proper connections.
3. If cables and connections are OK, replace
sensor.
