Press Unexpectedly Stopped After Starting

What does 0x4020 mean?

The PressStarted input was TRUE, indicating a commanded motion, but the position subsequently stopped ('Stopped' changed to TRUE) after having moved. This suggests an unexpected halt during a commanded press operation, which could be due to an obstruction, overload, or sensor fault, potentially damaging equipment or causing an unsafe state.

• Press stopped unexpectedly after starting.
• Sudden loss of power to the drive.
• Overload trip during initial movement.
• Emergency stop activated unintentionally.
• Control system error causing premature shutdown.

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Investigate the mechanical system for any sudden jams, obstructions, or excessive load that might cause an unexpected stop.

2. 2

   Monitor motor current and drive status for overload conditions or protection trips.

3. 3

   Check the position sensor for intermittent readings or damage that could falsely indicate a stop.

4. 4

   Review the process logic for any conditions that might prematurely set the 'Stopped' flag to TRUE during an active PressStarted command.
