1. Servo motor does not run when the pulse is output, how to solve the problem?

1. Monitor the current pulse output value of controller and check if pulse output indicator lamp flashes to confirm 
   that the controller has performed command pulse and has output pulse normally.
2. Check if the control cable, power cable, encoder cable between controller and driver are matched incorrectly damaged or contacted poorly.
3. Check if the brake of servo motor equipped with brake has been turned on.
4. Monitor the panel of servo driver to confirm if the pulse command has been input.
5. Run command is normal.
6. For control mode, always choose position control mode.
7. Check if the type of input pulse set by servo driver matches with that of command pulse.
8. Ensure that positive side drive prohibition, negative side drive prohibition signals and deviation counter reset 
   signal are not input and the servo motor runs normally if load is removed, then check the mechanical system.

As the executive element of mechanical equipment, servo motor is used widely in servo system. When using servo motor, there is a phonomena of overheating when working. As you are not familiar with the principle and structure of servo motor, how to judge whether the heating value is normal or not? And how to reduce the heating value of servo motor?

One of the most significant advantages of stepper motor is that it can be controlled accurately in open loop system because the rotor position can be determined only by tracking the input step pulse, but overheating problem occurs easily in stepper motor, so how to solve this problem if such condition occurs?
