Question
ALE06 overload; what is the cause?
Answer
ALE06 is overload alarm. This is a case where the motor is taking more current than what the motor is rated for. In order to reset it, please solve the problem causing the overload and reset the drive by pushing the arrow keys simultaneously for 3 or more seconds or power off the drive or turn on a digital ipout configured as Alarm Reset There are several causes of this alarm, but the most important ones are:6.1 - The motor has a brake and the brake has not been released. The way to release the brake is to apply 24 Volt though a relay with the help ofthe yellow and orange wires on the power cable. Polarity is not important.
6.2- The motor is undersized for the operation. The motor torque is proportional to the current of the motor. If more torque than the motor can deliver is demanded, the motor will request more current to the servo drive and this will cause the trip and the failure.
6-3 - The motor tuning has been set too sharp. Re-tune the servo to aslightly sloppy response.
