Warranty Information
No warranty information is provided in the extracted pages of this manual.
This manual covers the Canon Digital Galvano Scanner System, including its features, specifications, and configuration. It details the operation of the GC-251 controller, software installation and activation, operating procedures like step movement and raster scan, and monitor output functions. It also covers commands, parameters, safety functions, and troubleshooting errors. The document outlines how to modify and write parameters into ROM, and save parameter files. Key functions include high positioning precision, low temperature drift, and fast/stable operation. It also provides detailed pin arrangements for various connectors and communication specifications for RS-232C and high-speed serial communication.
Troubleshooting and error codes
| Priority: High | |||||||
| Error | Hex | Monitor Item | Error Condition | Setting Change Possible /Impossible (Parameter) | System status after error | Digital Output | Recovery Method |
| Stroke over | 0x0001 | Encoder pulse count | The encoder count is outside the range set by parameters P00 (CW Limit) and P01 (CCW Limit). | Possible (P00, P01) | Error output Servo OFF | (Axis1) Connector A1 Monitor Board D1 | Soft reset (C00) + Homing (C02) or Power-off/on |
| Counter over | 0x0002 | Velocity (calculated from encoder pulses) | The velocity exceeds the setting by P02 (Maximum Velocity). | Possible (P02) | |||
| In-position overtime | 0x0004 | Encoder pulse count | The accumulated time based on the setting of P03 (In-position Width) exceeds the setting of P05 (In-position Overtime). | Possible (P03, P05) | |||
| No clock | 0x0008 | Clock | Clock pulses are not input. | Impossible | |||
| Driver overheat | 0x0010 | A/D value of thermistor at controller output amplifier | The driver temperature exceeds the A/D value corresponding to 70°C. (Software monitoring) | Impossible | Error output Servo OFF | (Axis2) Connector B2 Monitor Board D4 | Power-off/on |
| Motor overheat | 0x0020 | A/D value of thermistor at motor coil | The motor temperature exceeds the A/D value corresponding to 70°C. (Software monitoring) | Impossible | |||
| Homing error | 0x0800 | Homing to the origin | Homing is not completed normally. | Impossible | |||
| Encoder signal error | 0x1000 | Encoder signal level at homing to origin | An encoder signal is abnormal. | Impossible | |||
| Hardware servo OFF | 0x4000 | Output amplifier shutdown function Thermistor (controller and motor) | The output amplifier is shut down. The thermistor-detected temperature exceeds the setting. (Hardware monitoring). Error notification by software is usually made first. | Impossible | |||
| Current saturation | 0x8000 | Output current command | Current saturation (10A×P09 (Current limit)) continues for a specified time or longer. | Possible (P09) | |||
| Priority: Low | |||||||
| Format error | 0x0040 | Command format | An undefined command or parameter is sent. | Impossible | Error output only | (Axis1) Connector B1 Monitor Board D2 | Error clearance (C01) |
| Command data error | 0x0080 | Command data | Command data is illegal. No data is given to a command requiring data. Data is given to a command requiring no data. Data outside the setting range is set. | Impossible | |||
| Parameter error | 0x0100 | Parameter value | A parameter value is beyond the setting range. | Impossible | (Axis2) Connector A3 Monitor Board D5 | ||
| Status error | 0x0200 | Command description | A command not valid for the current status is sent. | Impossible | |||
| Communication error | 0x0400 | Communication flag | Communication flag time-out occurs. | Impossible | |||
| Out-position error | 0x2000 | Encoder pulse count | The setting of P24 (Out-position Width) is exceeded. | Possible (P24) | |||
