The VXM-1J has no computer interface, therefore there is no software or drivers for this device.
Troubleshooting
First - always read the Users Manual. |
![]() |
|
Symptom | Possible Cause | Remedy |
---|---|---|
Power (Green LED) light does not come on. |
|
|
Motor makes noise but is not moving (Stalled). |
|
|
Motor is not making any noise and is not moving (no power to motor). | Limit switches not connected. | Check limit switch connections |
Circuit breaker trips when power applied. | Voltage >28 volts or polarity reversed. | |
Circuit breaker trips while running motor for a short time. | Wrong motor selected. Shorted wiring. | |
Circuit breaker trips while running motor for a long time | Wrong motor setting. Shorted wiring. Controller overheating from lack of ventilation or ambient temperature too high. | |
Controller is too hot to touch. (It is normal for Controller and Motor do get very warm when running continuously.) | Wrong motor setting. Lack of ventilation or ambient temperature too high. NOTE: Motor should always be mounted for heat conduction. | |
Motor runs erratically (at lowest speeds goes either direction, and has low torque at mid speeds). | Broken wire to motor or broken connector pin. | |
Power (Green LED) light flashes rapidly and continuously on power-up | Run, Stop, or a Jog input is pulled low. Control does not allow button Jog inputs to be activated at power up. (release button/input to recover.) |
