Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: After on-site wiring overseas, the controller fails to establish EtherCAT communication with servo drives, and the indicator keeps showing errors. How to troubleshoot?
A: Check two key points first. Confirm that industrial-grade twisted shielded cables are used with proper grounding. Verify if there is a node address conflict and ensure a terminal resistor is connected at the end of the bus to avoid signal reflection.
Q2: When used in European and American factories, the controller frequently triggers a "voltage abnormality" alarm, even though the input is clearly 24VDC. Why?
A: Install a voltage stabilizing filter module at the controller's power input terminal or equip it with a redundant power supply to handle grid fluctuations. Also confirm that power cable polarity is correct.
Q3: In high-temperature Southeast Asian factories, the controller crashes after running for a few hours, but works again after cooling down. Is this a quality issue?
A: Install the controller near the air vent of the control cabinet and avoid placing it with high-power equipment. For extremely high temperatures, install exhaust fans or coolers in the control cabinet.
Q4: Overseas customers want to connect the controller to their local MES system, but the communication protocols are incompatible. What should be done?
A: Use the controller's AoE protocol for direct connection to mainstream MES systems, or use the Ethernet port with Modbus TCP protocol - the supporting software has ready-made configuration templates.
Q5: In European factories with strict explosion-proof requirements, are there any special installation precautions for the controller?
A: Only the ATEX-certified XDH-116H model is allowed for use in explosion-proof areas. Use explosion-proof cable glands and ensure the control cabinet has matching protection level.
Q6: After overseas installation, the controller's real-time clock does not match the local time zone, causing confusion in production report timestamps. How to adjust it?
A: Enter system settings via programming software and select the local time zone from the preset list. Enable NTP network time synchronization function for automatic time updates.
Q7: In South American factories, the controller's I/O signals are falsely triggered after running for a period of time. What is the cause?
A: Provide separate grounding for the controller using a grounding wire with cross-sectional area ≥ 2.5mm² and ensure grounding resistance < 4Ω. Use shielded cables for analog input channels with single-end grounding.
