FAQ
Q1: No indicator light lights up after power-on and the board fails to start.A1: ① Check 24VDC power supply and verify correct positive and negative wiring.
② Inspect whether the onboard power fuse is blown.
③ Re-seat the controller cable to ensure firm connection.
Q2: EtherCAT packet loss and poor synchronization accuracy occur.A2: ① Use shielded twisted pair cables and route them separately away from power lines.
② Reduce communication baud rate and check terminal resistor matching.
③ Upgrade firmware of controller and interface board.
Q3: Vibration and abnormal noise occur during multi-axis movement.A3: ① Optimize PID parameters by reducing proportional gain and increasing integral time.
② Check loose wiring of servo motor encoder.
③ Lower motion speed and acceleration to avoid overshoot.
Q4: Can it replace legacy Delta Tau interface boards?A4: Compatible with old Clipper series controllers such as CK3E. Confirm and upgrade firmware if needed. Incompatible with non-Clipper models like PMAC2.
Q5: How to expand I/O capacity?A5: Connect remote I/O modules such as Delta Tau Geo I/O via EtherCAT or CANopen bus, supporting expansion up to hundreds of digital and analog I/O points.
