Stepper Motor Does Not Rotate After Connecting to the Driver
This is a quick troubleshooting guide on how to resolve the issue of a stepper motor not rotating after connecting it to a driver, applicable to all stepper drivers from STEPPERONLINE. Here is the video how to solve this issue. And the following is the text. Firstly, you can perform the following steps to troubleshoot the problem: 1. Double-check all the wiring.

1. Green light is always on, but the motor is not working Check if the control voltage code is the same as the actual code. The new version of the driver is supplied with a control signal code (5V and 24V). Since the default setting of the driver from the factory is a 24 V control signal, if the user has not changed the code and the actual control signal is 5 V, the driver is as if it is not receiving a signal. The driver does not drive the motor and does not alarm. 2. The red light flaSome readersHow to Solve the Problem of Stepper Motor Overheating?
Cause of motor heating It is normal for any motor to heat up during operation, and the same is true for stepper motors. The interior of the stepper motor is composed of an iron core and a winding coil. The resistance of the operation and maintenance winding exists, and the current flowing through the motor will cause loss. The loss is proportional to the square of the resistance and the current, which is called "copper loss". In addition, there is a hysteresis eddy current effect in thSome readersResonance of a Stepper Motor
Stepper motors are known to vibrate or resonate at certain speeds, especially at low speeds. At low speeds, the motor's motion is more like a stepper, with the motor's rotor tending to oscillate back and forth between each step. This oscillation causes mechanical resonance in the motor components such as the rotor, shaft and bearings. Resonance can cause the motor to vibrate, resulting in loss of torque and precision. For a given stepper motor, its resonance problem is difficult to eliminate,Few readersWhy Does the Motor Only Rotate in One Direction?
1. Examine the motor Swap A+&A- or B+&B- wiring and check if the direction of rotation of the motor changes. If both can change the motor's direction of rotation, the motor is normal. 2. Troubleshooting the driver 2.1 Troubleshooting the driver connector Reinsert and rewire the driver connector and check if the motor returns to normal. If there is another normal drive, swap the connector from the normal drive to the defective drive and check if the motor returns to normal. 2.2 TroFew readersMethods to Clear Driver Alarms
When a drive experiences faults such as overvoltage or overcurrent, it automatically stops working, and the motor comes to a halt. The drive's red light may flash or remain steady. To clear the drive alarm state, the following methods can be employed (excluding troubleshooting): 1. T-Series Open/Closed-Loop Drives, RS-Series Open/Closed-Loop Drives, AI-Series Open-Loop Drives, etc. For these drives, except for the "position error (red light flashing 7 times)" fault, which can be cleared byFew readersWhy E6 Series Servo Motor Not Equipped With Software?
Regarding the E6 series servo motors, we are not equipped with software. Our considerations are as follows: Although the E6 series does not have debugging software, we can complete 80% of the parameter acquisition and setting of the software functions through the driver panel. The E6 series servo motor is a cost-effective product. We want to guide customers to focus on 80% of the product's application functions, rather than 20% of special applications. Of course, if you encounteFew readersHow to Determine the Source of Stepper Motor Noise?
When the stepper motor produces noise, it is necessary to first confirm the source of the noise, and then take a corresponding solution. The cause of the noise can be determined in the following ways: Check whether it is the resonance of the motor When the speed of the stepper motor is within the resonance zone, the motor will resonate and make noise. Please try to adjust the speed of the motor to see if the noise is improved. If so, you can refer to this article for follow-up processiFew readersWhich Driver to Choose When It Is Necessary to Read the Motor Operating Parameters?
If you need to read motor operating parameters, we recommend using RS series drivers instead of T series drivers. The reasons are as follows: T series drivers do not support reading data, including open loop T series drivers (DM*T) and closed loop T series drivers (CLT). Although some T series drivers have an RS232 interface and support software debugging, their RS232 interface can only be used to debug the motor, not to read data. RS t series drivers can read data, including RS seFew readersWhy Does the Stepper Motor Lose Phase and What is Its Performance
What is a stepping motor phase loss The lack of phase of the stepper motor means that during the operation of the stepper motor, the current of a certain phase cannot pass normally, resulting in the failure of the phase to generate a magnetic field, which in turn causes the stepper motor to lose its stepping drive ability. Performance of stepping motor phase loss The motor cannot start, only vibFew readersHow to Remove the Key From the Keyway?

If users experience vibration when using T6 servo products, they can eliminate it through the following methods. When the brake is open, the mechanical installation is balanced, the coupling does not shift, the gear meshes well, the encoder wiring is correct, and there is no interference, adjust the inertia, rigidity and other parameters of T6. The specific operations are as follows: Wiring is correct (the motor can be automatically recognized by the driver) Use "Operating Test" to test whFew readersWhy is Something Missing from My Order?
What should I do if I find something is missing after signing for the order? If this happens, please refer to the following two solutions. Missing product Products within a single order may be shipped separately. Usually before shipping, our customer service staff will confirm with you whether you need to split the order and ship it.
