No Power for Manipulator Actuators

Hi Everyone,

I am close to finish my retroftting project witn a 5 DOF industrial manipulator, controlled by linuxcnc.

When I try to turn on the all system like to energize motors, gecko drivers and enconders through 60vdc/20A power supply, the manipulator doesn't move, the motors aren't powering on with the gecko drives powered on. That issue has already happened twice, and only when I turned off and after that turned on the power supply, everything was working normally...

I am working with this kit-package, 4-Axis NEMA23 350oz in 60VDC/20A PSU G320X Gecko Driver - See more at: www.automationtechnologiesinc.com/produc...o-nema23-kits/4-axis , but with additional servo motor, gecko drive and encoder.

The power supply has 4 additional capacitors with 10.000 uf/80 vdc each one, for peak current motors.

Why is happening with the power module?

Thanks a lot guys.

Hi,

I ran Stepper Wizard and the robot moved!. After that I stopped o halrun (halrun -U), and when I tested my program everything worked.

What is happening with that issue?

Regards.

Hi Everyone,

Any Idea?

Regards.

Are the drives being enabled properly?

Hi,

Yes, They are. The robot is moving normally. But I don't understand why I have to stop halrun.

Thanks.

Afraid I don't understand what your problem/question is.

Hi,

The question is:

Why do I have to run first Stepper Wizard or stop halrun to energize the motors/drives?

When I try to turn on the all system like to energize motors, gecko drivers and encoders through 60vdc/20A power supply, the manipulator doesn't move, the motors aren't powering on with the gecko drives powered on. That issue has already happened twice, and only when I turned off and after that turned on the power supply, everything was working normally

Thanks.

It seems a joke due to electrical noise .... you've a da brake or some dc valves??
